The saddle was decorated in another style, covered with a precious purple cloth. The saddle bows were of ivory, on which was carved the story of how Aeneas came from Troy, how at Carthage with great joy Dido received him to her bed, how Aeneas deceived her, and how for him she killed herself, how Aeneas conquered Laurentum and all Lombardy, of which he was king all his life. THE SADDLE WAS DECORATED IN ANOTHER STYLE COVERED WITH PRECIOUS PURPLE CLOTH THE SADDLE BOUGHS WERE OF IVORY ON WHICH WAS CARVED THE STORY OF HOW AENEAS CAME FROM TROY HOW AT CARTHAGE WITH GREAT JOY DIDO RECEIVED HIM TO HER BED HOW AENEAS DECEIVED HER AND HOW FOR HIM SHE KILLED HERSELF HOW AENEUS CAPTURED LAURENTUM AND ALL LOMITY OF WHICH HE WAS KING ALL HIS LIFE
d life, and pledges to them his service. Then he took one of them by the hand she who was the nearer to him and Enide took the other's hand: hand in hand they came up from the bedroom into the castle hall. Guivret urges them to mount at once without delay. Enide thinks the time will never come for them to mount. They bring around to the block for her a good-tempered palfrey, a soft stepper, handsome and well shaped. The palfrey was of fine appearance and a good mount: it was no less valuable than her own which had stayed behind at Limors. That other one was dappled, this one was sorrel; but the head was of another colour: it was marked in such a way that one cheek was all white, while the other was raven black. Between the two colours there was a line, greener than a grape-vine leaf, which separated the white from the black. Of the bridle, breast-strap, and saddle I can surely say that the workmanship was rich and handsome. All the breast-strap and bridle was of gold set with emeralds. HEM FOR HIS HEALTH AND LIFE AND PLEDGES TO THEM HIS SERVICE THEN HE TOOK ONE OF THEM BY THE HAND SHE WHO WAS THE NEARER TO HIM AND INID WHO TOOK THE OTHER'S HAND HAND IN HAND THEY CAME UP FROM THE BEDROOM INTO THE CASTLE HALL GUIVRET URGES THEM TO MOUNT AT ONCE WITHOUT DELAY ANID THINKS THE TIME WILL NEVER COME FOR THEM TO MOUNT THEY BRING AROUND TO THE BLOCK FOR HER A GOOD TEMPERED PALFREY A SOFT STEPPER HANDSOME AND WELL SHAPED THE PALFREY WAS OF FINE APPEARANCE AND A GOOD MOUNT IT WAS NO LESS VALUABLE THAN HER OWN WHICH HAD STAYED BEHIND AT LAMORE'S THAT OTHER ONE WAS DAPPLED THIS ONE WAS SORREL BUT THE HEAD WAS OF ANOTHER COLOR IT WAS MARKED IN SUCH A WAY THAT ONE CHEEK WAS ALL WHITE WHILE THE OTHER WAS RAVEN BLACK BETWEEN THE TWO COLOURS THERE WAS A LINE GREENER THAN A GREAT VINE LEAF WHICH SEPARATED THE WHITE FROM THE BLACK OF THE BRIDLE BREAST STRAP AND SADDLE I CAN SURELY SAY THAT THE WORKMANSHIP WAS RICH AND HANDSOME ALL THE BREAST TRAP AND BRIDLE WAS OF GOLD SET WITH EMERALDS
