The King Heard all he said and much rejoiced. Then came The servants serving tasteful food to all. The King ate with his wife and children dear. Together they were six. All sorts of rare And dainty food were served them, and the King Took _siri_ from the betel-box, and used Sweet perfumes. The great King of Kembajat Then gave a festival which lasted quite Seven days, with music and diversions gay. Glad joy was at its height, of pleasure born And of the dance. The kings amused themselves. All kinds of games they had. Intji Bibi, A singer of Malacca, sang with grace. The seven days passed, the Princess Mendoudari Was all in finery arrayed. The wives Of the two kings took her in hand. The prince Was by the _mangkouboumi_ ta'en in charge. The princess sweetest perfumes did exhale. Her manners were most gracious and polite As of a well-born person. Every sort Of gem and jewel sparkled from her robes. She wore a ring--'twas _astokouna_ called-- And yet another one, _glangkano_ named, And still another, with bright stones all carved In fashion of Ceylon. Her tresses curled Like to a full-blown flower, and on them shone Full many precious stones. The _tourie_ buds Became her well. Her features were as bright As those of some celestial being pure. Fair Mendoudari thus was clad, and led To the bride's seat, and at her either hand Stood _mantris'_ daughters seven with waving fans. Meanwhile the _mangkouboumi_ patiently Achieved the tiring of the prince. He wore A royal crown, made in the island fair Called Nousa Antara, and a rich coat Which opened at the sides, made in the West. A chiselled necklace hung about his neck. His tunic flamed with orange, like the robe Of great Schahid Schah Pri. His girdle bright Was cloth of _tjindi_, fringed with agates rare. An amulet he wore with diamond pure, With sacred words engraved of the Koran. He wore a jewel like a butterfly, Most beautiful, and many rings and gems. His features of the rarest beauty were, Like those of some divinity of heaven. When thus arrayed, the youthful prince came forth And made obeisance to his parents both. He went to the appointed place, and all The children of the court assembled there Before him, while two sons of heralds stood Beside him, waving fans like floating clouds. All kept the strictest silence. Then a band Of soldiers came, with blades all glittering. The royal sword, all diamond decked, flashed rays Of light. Three times around the island went They all, with sound of music and the noise Of bells. And all who heard in vain essayed To estimate the number. Everyone Ran forth to see the progress--men and women. Some tore their garments, some their children lost, Distracted by the pleasure and the noise. When ended the procession, the young prince At Princess Mendoudari's right was placed, Within the palace.
