Superb, captivating, attractive. The French flambant. This word was originally applied to those persons who dressed themselves in rich dresses “flaming” with gold and silver thread. We now speak of a “flaming advertisement,” etc.
Le velour, trop commun en France, Sous toy reprend son vieil honneur, Tellement que ta remontrance Nous a fait voir la difference Du valet et de son Seigneur, Et du muguet chargé de soye Qui à tes princes s'esgaloit, Et riche en draps de soye, alloit Faisant flamber toute la voye.
