Advertisements
Solution
The Lord of Tartary would get up very early in the morning. He would wear a dress of green, white, and gold beads. These beads would be placed very close to each other just like seeds. And before the waning of the morning star, he would wear his robe and take his short sword. Then he would go out in the valley in his carriage drawn by seven zebras. At meal time, he would be called by trumpeters that would give out a loud cry in the courtyard. In the evening, he would enjoy the shining lamps and sweet music played by musicians. At night he would enjoy the flashing stars and the scented breeze by the lakeside lined with citron-trees.
