Matrons in example sentence
Then, beside the pillow of what seemed to be the dead body, suddenly appeared a fair youth in a Roman habit, who, to the accompaniment of a harp which he himself played, sang in a sweet and clear voice these two stanzas:While fair Altisidora, who the sportOf cold Don Quixote's cruelty hath been,Returns to life, and in this magic courtThe dames in sables come to grace the scene,And while her matrons all in seemly sortMy lady robes in baize and bombazine,Her beauty and her sorrows will I singWith defter quill than touched the Thracian string.
