Sent were the workmen thither, thence they brought Timber enough, by good advice select ; And though by skill-less builders frarn'd and wrought, Their engines rude and rams were late erect, Yet now the forts and tow'rs from whence they fought Were framed by a cunning architect; William, of all the Genoas lord and guide, Which late rul'd all the seas from side to side, XLII.
But forced to retire from it at last, The Pagan fleet the sea's moist empire won ; His men with all their stuff and s...tore in haste Home to the camp with their commander run: In skill, in wit, in cunning, him surpass'd Yet never engineer beneath the sun ; Of carpenters an hundred large he brought, That what their lord devised made and wrought.
