Vpon an hundred marble pillors round

The roofe vp high was reared from the ground,

All deckt with crownes, and chaynes, and girlands gay,

And thousand pretious gifts worth many a pound,

The which sad louers for their vowes did pay;

And all the ground was strow’d with flowres, as fresh as May[189].

An hundred Altars round about were set, xxxviii

All flaming with their sacrifices fire,

That with the steme thereof the Temple swet,

Which rould in clouds to heauen did aspire,
