Of most delicious flavour, breathing round
Fragrance of flowers, and honey newly made;
So grateful to the sense, that none refuse;
While odoriferous gums fill all the room.
Water is served too, cold, and fresh, and clear;
Bread, saffron tinged, that looks like leaves of gold.
The board is gaily spread with honey pure,
And savoury cheese. The altar, too, which stands
Full in the centre, crown'd with flow'ry wreaths;
The house resounds with music and with song,
