And that Place he clept Paradise.
"And when that any good Knight, that was hardy and noble, came to see this Royalty, he would lead him into his Paradise, and show him these wonderful Things for his Sport, and the marvellous and delicious Song of divers Birds, and the fair Damsels, and the fair Wells of Milk, Wine and Honey, plenteously running.

And he would make divers Instruments of Music to sound in an high Tower, so merrily, that it was Joy to hear; and no Man should see the Craft thereof.

And those, he said, were Angels of God, and that Place was Paradise, that God had promised to his Friends, saying, '_Dabo vobis Terram fluentem Lacte et Melle_' ('I shall give thee a Land flowing with Milk and Honey').

And then would he make them to drink of certain Drink [hashish, a narcotic drug, whence their name of Assassins], whereof anon they should be drunk.

And then would they think it greater Delight than they had before.
