Constance De Castile | ||
VI.
Mid the vast champaign where GaronneRolls his majestic waters down,
105
The circuit of the lists enclose,
While all the strength of Aquitaine
In gay confusion throngs the plain,
A proud pavilion seen afar
O'erlooks the field of mimic war.
Mail'd knights, and beauteous dames around
Glitter in festive splendour crown'd.
On storied tapestry, these repose,
On flower'd brocade and tissue, those,
And, o'er them, in Damascus spun,
Rich shadowy silks subdue the sun.
