Three works of Benvenuto Cellini, and a trophy from the Armada, an immense flagon or wine-fountain, like a gigantic old- fashioned smelling-bottle, and a modern Indian work a box given to the Queen by an Indian potentate were what interested me the most. Then I looked at many interesting pictures in the long corridor.
Then went the damsels to that wine-fountain, and drew thence cups of the best and brightest wine of the Dale, and went round about the ring, and gave drink to whomsoever would, both of the chapmen and the others; while the weaponed youth stood in the midst bearing aloft his sword and shield like an image in a holy place, and Redesman's bow still went up and down the strings, and drew forth a sweet and merry tune.
The Baptismal Font, used at the christening of the Sovereign's children, of silver, double gilt. The Sacramental Plate used at the coronation. A large silver-gilt wine-fountain, of good workmanship, presented to Charles II by the Corporation of Plymouth. In a case in the large recess, Curtana, the Sword of Mercy, pointless, the blade 40 inches long.
