Letter "F" » Festivities
"The service was of great array,
That they were served with that day.
Thus they ate, and made them glad,
With such service as they had–
When they had dined, as I you say,
Lordis and ladies yede to play;
Some to tables and some to chess,
With other games more and less."

the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry: for that
shall abide with him of his labour the days of his life, which
God giveth him under the sun."

But never for us so hearty."

"The music, and the banquet, and the wine–
The garlands, the rose odors, and the flowers,
The sparkling eyes, and flashing ornaments–
The white arms and the raven hair–the braids,
And bracelets; swan-like bosoms, and the necklace,
An India in itself, yet dazzling not."
