4 She saw bestrewn all with rich array

bestrewn > [was] strewn

5 Of pearls and precious stones of great assay,

assay > quality, proven worth, hence: value

6 And all the gravel mixed with golden ore; 7 Whereat she wondered much, but would not stay

Whereat > At which wondered > marvelled

8 For gold, or pearls, or precious stones an hour,

hour > instant

9 But them despised all; for all was in her power.
