Constance De Castile

A Poem, in Ten Cantos. By William Sotheby

expand section 

VII.

Constance a milk-white palfrey rode:
Whose rich and rare caparison
Powder'd with pearls and jewels shone.
Profusely from his high-arch'd crest

158

His mane in waving ringlets flow'd,
As the gay champing of his pride
Scatter'd the foam from side to side
That bath'd like flakes of snow his breast.
