§ Panna Guzdralska.
Behind them a troop of Tartars
Comely enough, belonging to his househol court.
All with bows and arrows.
Every one in a br wide loose cloak
Rode stooping on a sprightly Bachmatx x The name of a Tartar House.
Next there followed 30 young Squires
Who led in their hands as many spare-horses
Bred in Poland's plains, or known to all over the world
By the fatigued hand of the rider
Their hoofs in the air; their foaming mouth champing the golden bit.
Their broad nostrils sparkled with fire
The accoutrements were as rich as the steeds were noble
The sadles were set with Turkus-stones turquoise
The Housings embroidered with hung descended to the earth
Embroided with perles in different figures.
A Target At the Side saddle a
A fine truncheon, and a crooked scimitar
In short, the whole accoutrement set in precious stones
Rubies, saphires, smaragds, topazes
Blinded the eyes.
Next a a number of friends, in deportment dignified but joyous
Clad in in long robes of silk and velvet; of
Girded with a rich girdle
With battle-axes in their hands
All eminent dignitories.
At last 6 six Horses, dappled
In a splendid harness adorned with silver and gold
Drew the carriage of the Bridegroom.
It was a work skillfully and curiously constructed.
