Rough; the voyage is no longer benign,
While the weary travellers are blown on to the Slavic coast.a
180There Francis waits for a westerly, is held up by an easterly,
And in the end he senses the rise of a northerly.
And now he prepares to return, since he cannot proceed.
Christ was recalling his servant, albeit his purpose
Was sound, for more useful purposes still; the evangelic
185Master he denies the Parthians, he now gives back to Ausonians.b
- According to 1 C 55, to Sclavonia that is, to Illyria or Dalmatia. These shores Henri calls Geticas following Ovid, Epistulae ex Ponto I, I, 2; Tristia I, X 14, who in a distant part of the "Getic shore" near the Black Sea languished as an exile.
- Ausonia: Italy or rather Lower Italy.
Legenda Sancti Francisci Versificata, Fontes Franciscani, p.
Ingreditur: ventus surgit contrarius, aequor
Incipit esse fretum, via desinit esse salubris;
180Aura fatigatos Geticas appellit ad oras.
Praestolatus ibi Zephyrum, detentus ab Euro,
Tandem Franciscus Boream insurgere sentit,
Iamque redire parat, cum. non procedere possit.
Christus enim servi votum, licet utile, propter
185Utilius revocat, evangelicique magistrum
Eloquii Parthis negat, Ausoniisque remittit.
