And her armes ful prevely I blased:

The shelde of golde, as I well understande,

With a lyon of asure through passande.

To me she came, with lowely countenaunce,

And bad me welcome unto that mancion,

Ledyng me forth wyth joy and pleasaunce

Into an hall of mervaylous facion,

Right strongly fortyfyde of olde foundacion,

The pillers of yvery garnished with golde,

With perles sette and broudred many a folde.
