The priest then burns a part on plates,† thereon red wine,

Libation pour’d. The ministring young men

Stand by him, with their five-fold spits in hand.

But when the thighs are burnt, out of the rest

Entrails and flesh, harslets and stakes they make,

Upon the spits transfixt. Then roasted well

They set all forth. After the duty done;

A feast they next prepare. Plenty of food

Distributed around, chearful repast.

Banquet being o’re, the youths huge goblets crown,
