Note 37 — BOOK V.
Rowland Smith translation
"Old Lambro pass'd unseen a private gate, And stood within his hall at eventide; Meanwhile the lady and her lover sate At wassail in their beauty and their pride; An ivory inlaid table spread with state Before them, and fair slaves on every side; Gems, gold, and silver, form'd the service mostly, Mother of pearl and coral the less costly."—Byron.
