A wondrous lovely maiden Sits high in glory there; Her robe with gems is laden, And she combeth her golden hair.
Стр. 246 - Charlemagne not reclining in his coffin, as is the usual fashion of the dead, but seated in his throne as one alive, clothed in the imperial robes, bearing the sceptre in his hand, and on his knees a copy of the Gospels.
