So the gardener had them into the vineyards , and bid them refresh themselves with the dainties . -LSB- Deut . 23:24 -RSB- He also showed them there the King 's walks , and the arbours where he delighted to be ; and here they tarried and slept . -LCB- 385 -RCB- Now I beheld in my dream that they talked more in their sleep at this time than ever they did in all their journey ; and being in a muse thereabout , the gardener said even to me , Wherefore musest thou at the matter ? It is the nature of the fruit of the grapes of these vineyards to go down so sweetly as to cause the lips of them that are asleep to speak . -LCB- 386 -RCB- So I saw that when they awoke , they addressed themselves to go up to the city ; but , as I said , the reflection of the sun upon the city -LRB- for the city was pure gold -RRB- was so extremely glorious that they could not , as yet , with open face behold it , but through an instrument made for that purpose .
