For the decoded text of the tapestries, please visit: http://www.ianison.com/Y%20Is%20I%20Web/la%20Dame%20à%20la%20Licorne%20Tapestries.html but beware that there are many secrets here and some of them may be painful to read. Also, as with many good treasures, they are buried where people will choose not to look - in this case beneath a lewd exchange between the lovers. Enjoy.
