835 In clothës black, y-dropped all with tears, And (passing over weeping Emily) The ruefullest of all the company. And inasmuch as 836 the servíce should be The more noble and rich in its degree, Duke Theseus let forth three steedës bring, That trapped were in steel all glittering. And covered with the arms of Dan Arcite. Upon these steedës, that were great and white, There sattë folk, of whom one bare his shield, Another his spear in his handës held; The thirdë bare with him his bow Turkeis, 837 Of brent 838 gold was the case 839 and the harness: And ridë forth a pace with sorrowful cheer 840 Toward the grove, as ye shall after hear.
