gild

High above the city, on a tall column, stood the statue of the Happy Prince. He was gilded all over with thin leaves of fine gold, for eyes he had two bright sapphires, and a large red ruby glowed on his sword-hilt.

With some more ducats, and be with you straight.

Gild the entire outside with beaten egg yolk, and sprinkle it with grated parmesan.

When sparkling stars twire not, thou gild'st the even.
