And all the flore on which we did tread

Was crystall clere, and the rofe at night

With carbuncles did geve a merveylous lyght.

The walles were hanged with cloth of tyssue,

Broudred with perles and rubies rubicond,

Mixte with emerauds so full of vertue

And brodred above with many a diamonde.

An hevy herte it wolde make jocunde

For to behold the merveylous riches,

The lordship, welth, and the great worthines.
