Description: A dozen beautiful damsels between the ages fourteen and eighteen years old dance. They were all clad in light green cloth, with their hair blonde, plaited and loose; and in their hair they wore garlands of jessamine, roses and woodbine that they swung in dance. In the middle, a venerable old man in dark robes and an ancient matron in an ostentatious gown. A clarinet of Zamora was played on the right by a nimble young man dressed as a nymph.
