These histories and more the pictures shew,

  (For to tell all would ask too long a strain)

  In beauteous colours and of different hue;

  Since such that hall, it these could well contain.

  The painting twice and thrice those guests review,

  Nor how to leave them knows the lingering train,

  'Twould seem; perusing oft what they behold

  Inscribed below the beauteous work in gold.
