Old Lambro passed unseen a private gate,

And stood within his hall at eventide;

Meantime the lady and her lover sate

At wassail in their beauty and their pride:

An ivory inlaid table spread with state

Before them, and fair slaves on every side;183

Gems, gold, and silver, formed the service mostly,

Mother of pearl and coral the less costly.
