His Suit and Coat, which Gallant shew'd to th' Eye,
Sky-colour'd Sattin prov'd, of choicest Die:
The Coat was large, reach'd down to th' Calf, no more,
With Cluster'd Grapes, high-wrought, embroyder'd o're;
Gold-Purl the fruit, set off the leaves beheld
With Silver Plate: Rich, Gorgeous Work, excell'd.
Long Buttons, Loops, Enamell'd those, broad-spread
The Breast and Sides thereof fair Garnished.
Buskins to That with Gallant Ribbons ty'd,
Whose Tops with Pearls and Gems were beautify'd.
