The Queen-Elect is Brought to the King
	When the king ready to take a wife, he gives orders that from among the 
daughters of his principal men the tallest and most beautiful shall be chosen.  The 
newly selected queen is brought to him on a litter covered with the skin of some rare 
animal and fitted with a canopy of boughs to shade her head.
	Four strong men carry her on their shoulders, each of the holding a forked 
wooed stick on which he rests the poles when they halt.  Two ore walk at the sides, 
shielding her from the sun with large round fans.  Before the queen march the 
trumpeters, blowing on horns made of bark, large at the far end and small at the 
other, and hung with small oval balls of gold, silver, and brass, which tinkle as they 
march.  Behind the queen are the most beautiful girls that can be found, clad in 
skirts made of pendant Spanish moss, their necks and arms decorated with necklaces 
and bracelets of pearls, each carrying a basket of choice fruits.  At the end of the 
procession are the bodyguards.
