A Game of Chess 77 The Chair she sat in, like a burnished throne, 78 Glowed on the marble, where the glass 79 Held up by standards wrought with fruited vines 80 From which a golden Cupidon peeped out 81 Another hid his eyes behind his wing 82 Doubled the flames of sevenbranched candelabra 83 Reflecting light upon the table as 84 The glitter of her jewels rose to meet it, 85 From satin cases poured in rich profusion; 86 In vials of ivory and coloured glass 87 Unstoppered, lurked her strange synthetic perfumes, 88 Unguent, powdered, or liquid—troubled, confused 89 And drowned the sense in odours; stirred by the air 90 That freshened from the window, these ascended 91 In fattening the prolonged candle-flames, 92 Flung their smoke into the laquearia, 93 Stirring the pattern on the coffered ceiling.
