The Soudan came himself soon after this, So royally, that wonder is to tell, And welcomed her with all joy and bliss. And thus in mirth and joy I let them dwell. The fruit of his mattér is that I tell; When the time came, men thought it for the best That revel stint, 1527 and men go to their rest.

The time is come that this old Soudaness Ordained hath the feast of which I told, And to the feast the Christian folk them dress In general, yea, bothë young and old. There may men feast and royalty behold, And dainties more than I can you devise; But all too dear they bought it ere they rise.
