(Vv. 6947 6958.) When this celebration was concluded, the King dismissed the assemblage of kings, dukes, and counts, of which the number was immense, and of the other humble folk who had come to the festival. WHEN THIS CELEBRATION WAS CONCLUDED THE KING DISMISSED THE ASSEMBLAGE OF KINGS DUKES AND COUNTS OF WHICH THE NUMBER WAS IMMENSE AND OF THE OTHER HUMBLE FOLK WHO HAD COME TO THE FESTIVAL
e Mass they returned to the palace. It was all prepared and decorated: tables set and cloths spread five hundred tables and more were there; but I do not wish to make you believe a thing which does not seem true. It would seem too great a lie were I to say that five hundred tables were set in rows in one palace, so I will not say it; rather were there five hails so filled with them that with great difficulty could one make his way among the tables. At each table there was in truth a king or a duke or a count; and full a hundred knights were seated at each table. A thousand knights served the bread, and a thousand served the wine, and a thousand the meat--all of them dressed in fresh fur robes of ermine. All are served with divers dishes. Even if I did not see them, I might still be able to tell you about them; but I must attend to something else than to tell you what they had to eat. They had enough, without wanting more; joyfully and liberally they were served to their heart's desire. THEY HAD HEARD ALL THE MASS THEY RETURNED TO THE PALACE IT WAS ALL PREPARED AND DECORATED TABLES SET AND CLOTH SPREAD FIVE HUNDRED TABLES AND MORE WERE THERE BUT I DO NOT WISH TO MAKE YOU BELIEVE A THING WHICH DOES NOT SEEM TRUE IT WOULD SEEM TOO GREAT ALIVE WERE I TO SAY THAT FIVE HUNDRED TABLES WERE SET IN ROWS IN ONE PALACE SO I WILL NOT SAY IT RATHER WERE THERE FIVE HALLS SO FILLED WITH THEM THAT WITH GREAT DIFFICULTY COULD ONE MAKE HIS WAY AMONG THE TABLES AT EACH TABLE THERE WAS IN TRUTH A KING OR A DUKE OR A COUNT AND FULL A HUNDRED KNIGHTS WERE SEATED AT EACH TABLE A THOUSAND KNIGHTS SERVED THE BREAD AND A THOUSAND SERVED THE WINE AND A THOUSAND THE MEAT ALL OF THEM DRESSED IN FRESH FUR ROBES OF ERMINE ALL ARE SERVED WITH DIVERS DISHES EVEN IF I DID NOT SEE THEM I MIGHT STILL BE ABLE TO TELL YOU ABOUT THEM BUT I MUST ATTEND TO SOMETHING ELSE THAN TO TELL YOU WHAT THEY HAD TO EAT THEY HAD ENOUGH WITHOUT WANTING MORE JOYFULLY AND LIBERALLY THEY WERE SERVED TO THEIR HEART'S DESIRE
