Even over the joly place that to that paleis longed.
William of Palerne, 5478.
I know myself to be
A jolly fellow: for even now I did behold and see
Mine image in the water sheer, and sure methought I took
Delight to see my goodly shape and favour in the brook.
Golding, Ovid’s Metamorphosis, b. 13.
When all the glorious realm of pure delight,
Illustrious Paradise, waited on the feet
Of jolly Eve.
