and then the white linen trimmingâ âby my oath, but itâs satin! Look at her handsâ âjet rings on them! May I never have luck if theyâre not gold rings, and real gold, and set with pearls as white as a curdled milk, and every one of them worth an eye of oneâs head! Whoreson baggage, what hair she has! if itâs not a wig, I never saw longer or fairer all the days of my life. See how bravely she bears herselfâ âand her shape! Wouldnât you say she was like a walking palm tree loaded with clusters of dates? for the trinkets she has hanging from her hair and neck look just like them. I swear in my heart she is a brave lass, and fit âto pass over the banks of Flanders.âââ 630
