King-making balm upon his head,

Like Gods anointing in the skies

Their sovereign of the thousand eyes.[614]

Then brought they, o'er their king to hold

The white umbrella decked with gold,

And chouries with their waving hair

In golden handles wondrous fair;

And fragrant herbs and seed and spice,

And sparkling gems exceeding price,

And every bloom from woods and leas,
