SC - Homework

[Elizabeth O'Donovan]

Hmmm...just in time for the eating season: some inspiration from my
studies.

"Then the first course comes, with clamor of trumpets
That were bravely bedecked with bannerets bright,
With noise of new drums and the noble pipes.
Wild were the warbles that wakened that day
In strains that stirred many strong men's hearts.
There dainties were dealt out, dishes rare,
Choice fare to choose, on chargers so many
that scarce was there space to set before the people
The service of silver, with sundry meats,
			on cloth.
			Each fair guest freely there
			Partakes, and nothing loth;
			Twelve dishes before each pair;
 			Good beer (!!!) and bright wine both."

>From _Sir Gawain and the Green Knight_, Marie Borroff, trans.

All kinds of hedonistic pleasures...
Elizabeth
