I do not know whether he sold it; but he ought to have obtained a good price for it. Now that Enide was presented with this palfrey, she was well compensated for the loss of her own. I DO NOT KNOW WHETHER HE SOLD IT BUT HE OUGHT TO HAVE OBTAINED A GOOD PRICE FOR IT NOW THAT A NEED WAS PRESENTED WITH THIS PALFREY SHE WAS WELL COMPENSATED FOR THE LOSS OF HER OWN
 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. 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. [135] Cunning was the workmanship and well carved, all decorated with fine gold. A skilful craftsman, who made it spent more than seven years in carving it, without touching any other piece of work. RE'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 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 CUNNING WAS THE WORKMANSHIP AND WELL CARVED ALL DECORATED WITH FINE GOLD A SKILFUL CRAFTSMAN WHO MADE IT SPENT MORE THAN SEVEN YEARS IN CARVING IT WITHOUT TOUCHING ANY OTHER PIECE OF WORK
