This Primate then assisted with his kinne
Of great Eleazar (priests whose head and chinne,
Was neuer shaue) deuoutly on he preast:
A pearled Myter on his balmed creast.
And with a holy Alb, with garnettes spred,
And golden Belles, his sacred bodie cled.
And slew, and burnt, the bulks (as was the guise)
Of many a kid, and calfe for sacrifise.
And with their blood, the Alters hornes he dyed,
And praying thus, to God immortall cryed.
