She bade him sing. Fair lutanist,

She loved his voice. With one white wrist,

Hooped with a blaze of amethyst,

She raised her ruby-crusted lute:

Gold-welted stuff, like some rich fruit,

Her raiment, diamond-showered, rolled

Folds pigeon-purple, whence one foot

Drooped in an anklet-twist of gold.
