Fit dwelling is it for his lordly prime.
4. Grand is the hall the noble lord ascends;
In height, like human form, most reverent, grand;
And straight, as flies the shaft when bow unbends;
Its tints like hues when pheasant’s wings expand.
5. High pillars rise the level court around;
The pleasant light the open chamber steeps,
And deep recesses, wide alcoves are found,
Where our good king in perfect quiet sleeps.
6. Laid is the bamboo mat on rush mat square;
