Puft vp with a round circling farthingale:
That done, she gins go forward with her tale:
Sitting at table caru'd of walnut tree,
All couered with damaskt naperie,
Garnisht with saults of pure beaten gould,
Whose siluer plated edge of rarest mould,
Mou'd admiration in my searching eie,
To see the goldsmiths ritch artificie.
The Butlers placing of his manchets white,
The plated cupboard for our more delight,
Whose goulden bewty glauncing from on hie,
Illuminated other chambers nie.
The slowly pacing of the seruing men,
Which were appointed to attend vs then,
Holding in either hand a siluer dish,
Of costly cates of farfetcht daintie fish,
Vntill they do approch the table nye,
Where the appointed couer carefully
Dischargeth them of their full freighted hands,
Which instantly vpon the table stands.
