Inscriptions:

 

 

Numb were the Beadsman’s fingers,
While he told his rosary
At length burst in the argent revelry
Meantime, across the moors,
Had come young Porphyro

Narrative:
The ancient beadsman prays for his master in the castle while Madeline's family begin their feast. Porphyro begins his journey to the castle.
