The right side of the pall old iEgeus kept, 92 PALAMON AND ARCITE And on the left the royal Theseus wept ; Each bore a golden bowl of work divine, With honey filled, and milk, and mixed with ruddy wine. 940 Then Palamon, the kinsman of the slain, And after him appeared the illustrious train.
To grace the pomp came Emily the bright, With covered fire, the funeral pile to light.
With high devotion was the service made, 945 And all the rites of pagan honour paid : So lofty was the pile, a Parthian... bow, With vigour drawn, must send the shaft below.
The bottom was full twenty fathom broad, With crackling straw beneath in due proportion strowed. 950 The fabric seemed a wood of rising green, With sulphur and bitumen cast between To feed the flames : the trees were unctuous fir, And mountain-ash, the mother of the spear; The mourner-yew and builder-oak were there, 955 The beech, the swimming alder, and the plane, Hard box, and linden of a softer grain, And laurels, which the gods for conquering chiefs ordain.
