Sometimes they (maidens, "beautiful and comely girls") would exhibit themselves in male disguise,
sometimes put on armour and parade in front of him (prince), or else they would take on the guise of hunters or of musicians, with harps and trumpets and cymbals, and besiege his ears with all kinds of melodies. At other times they would invade his room stark naked and lure him on with lascivious talk, urging him to sally forth a-hunting or go for a walk in the gardens of delight.
Whenever the prince went out, the girls also mounted their steeds and scampered round about him.
(Balavariani, Georgian Barlaam and Josaphat. The "beautiful and comely girls" symbolize joys or pleasures.)
