There came a knight of high renown In bassinet and ciclatoun; On bended knee full long he prayed, He might not win the franklin's maid. There came a squire so debonair His dress was rich, his words were fair, He sweetly sang, he deftly played: He could not win the franklin's maid.
The materials used as groundwork for mediæval embroideries were rich in themselves. Samit was the favourite shimmering, and woven originally of solid flat gold wire. Ciclatoun was also a brilliant textile, as also was Cendal. Cendal silk is spoken of by early writers. The first use of silk is interesting to trace. A monopoly, a veritable silk trust, was established in 533, in the Roman Empire.
