ny pieces of pure
white Manchet. The sauce Acceres, minced and dissolued in Sugar thrice
sodden, Amylum, Saunders, Muske and Rose water. The vessels and the
rounde table of _Chrysolite_. Lastly, they offered a precious drinking
cup, and so obserued in the rest.

The fourth table beeing taken away, the fift was reuested with a cloth
of silke, of a crimosen colour, and in like sort the Nimphish apparrel.
The flowers of purple, yealow, white, and tawny. The Seruis, eight
morsels of the flesh of a Pheasant rosted lying in the grauie, and
withall so many pieces of fine white manchet. The sauce was this, water
of Orenge flowers, the iuice of Pomegranets, Sugar, Cloues, and Cynamon.
The vesselles of Smaragde, and the table of the Souereigne Queene.

This beeing taken away verie solemnely, there was spred an other cloth
of silke of a purple colour, and so the apparrel of the wayters.

The flowers were of three sortes, of Iessamine, tawny, yealow, and
white. The Seruice was nine morsels of the flesh of a restoratiue
Peacocke, moystened in his grauie. The sauce was most greene and tart,
with Pistacke, Nuttes pownded, Sugar, Cypricum, Amylum, and Muske, Time,
white Marioram, and Pepper. The vesselles of Saphyre, and the Princely
Table.

Iuory, bordered, trayled, and finely wrought with many small pieces vpon
the precious wood of Aloes, and ioyned & glued togither, and from one
side to the other, wrought with knottes and foliature, flowers,
vesselles, monsters, little Birdes, and the strikes and caruings filled
vp with a black paste and mixture of Amber and Muske. This mee thought
was a most excellent thing and sumpteous breathing out, a most
delightful sweet smel. The cloth white and subtily wrought with drawne
worke with Satten silke, the ground powdered and filled, and the worke
white and plaine, with the representation of shapes, byrdes, beastes,
and flowers, and in like sort the apparel of the wayters. The flowers
Lady steale, Rape, Violet, and all sortes of sweete Gilliflowers. And
thus there varied euerie where such diuersitie of smelles, seuerally
brought in, and so delightfull to the sences, as I cannot sufficiently
expresse.

Then there was giuen to euerie one a confection in three morsels of the
shell, fish, Dactilus, with Pistacke, Nut kernels pownded and put into
Rose water and Sugar, of the Ilandes, and Muske and leafe Golde, beaten
