This Cambinskan, of which I have yow told, (50)
In royal vestiment sit on his deys,
With diademe, ful heighe in his paleys, 60
And halt his feste, so solempne and so riche
That in this world ne was ther noon it liche.
Of which if I shal tellen al tharray,
Than wolde it occupye a someres day;
And eek it nedeth nat for to devyse 65
At every cours the ordre of hir servyse.
I wol nat tellen of hir strange sewes,
Ne of hir swannes, ne of hir heronsewes. (60)
Eek in that lond, as tellen knightes olde,
Ther is som mete that is ful deyntee holde, 70
That in this lond men recche of it but smal;
Ther nis no man that may reporten al.
I wol nat tarien yow, for it is pryme,
And for it is no fruit but los of tyme;
Un-to my firste I wol have my recours. 75
