The word was not used then with our heavily negative sense, but more neutrally.ġ1 go: walk. Damask roses were a sweet-smelling variety popular at the time.Ĩ reeks: is exhaled.
The mistress, however, has black and not blonde hair.ĥ damasked: mingled (red and white).
Ornamental head-dresses of the period often contained gold wires, so that it was quite normal to compare lush blonde hair with the gold wires in the head-dress above. her eyes are not bright and shining.Ĥ wires: (gold) wires.
