Astolpho lighted in the spacious court,

  Intending on the Nubian king to wait.

  Less strong than sumptuous is the wealthy fort,

  Wherein the royal Aethiop keeps his state,

  The chains that serve the drawbridge to support,

  The bolts, the bars, the hinges of the gate,

  And finally whatever we behold

  Herewrought in iron, there is wrought in gold.
