and
said
:
You

This
said
,
he
bringeth
them
al
to
the
place
where
the
Quenes

stood
(

a
fine
Bower
made

and

and
after
some

hee
shewed
a

(

I

)
that

to
the
study
of
great
matters
.
Heere
followeth
Hemetes
tale
.
Moste
excellent
Princes
,
forepoynted
from
aboue
with
youre
presence
and
your
vertue
to
profite
more
then
you
are
aware
of
,
howe
much
you
are
bound
to
the
immortall
Goddes
,
and
mortall
men
are
bound
to
you
,
our
present
case
will
partely
prooue
:
But
before
you
vnderstand
the
woorth
of
your
vertue
,
maye
it
please
you
to
heare
the
variablenesse
of
our
aduentures
.
Not
long
since
in
the
Countrie
of
Cambia
which
is
situate
neere
the
mouth
of
the
riche
Riuer
Indus
,
a
mightie
Duke
bare
dominion
called
Occanon
:
who
had
heire
to
his
estate
but
one
onely
Daughter
named
Caudina
:
this
Lady
then
more
fayrer
then
fortunate
,
liued
most
deere
to
her
father
and
best
beloued
of
his
people
:
But
to
prooue
that
Beautie
is
not
always
a
benifit
,
nor
highest
states
be
euer
the
happiest
,
it
cha�ced
within
a
while
that
Caudina
being
sought
vnto
by
sundry
that
were
great
,
and
serued
by
many
that
were
worthie
,
had
more
competitors
of
her
beautie
then
did
either
well
content
her
,
or
proued
commodious
vnto
them
:
for
loue
,
which
is
not
led
by
order
nor
chosen
by
appoyntemente
,
had
limed
her
affections
vnreasonably
with
the
liking
of
a
knight
,
of
estate
but
meane
,
but
of
value
very
greate
called
Contarenus
who
as
he
exceedinglie
loued
her
,
so
the
desires
of
diuers
others
was
somewhat
for
his
glorye
,
but
nothing
for
his
gain
.
In
smal
proces
of
time
the
seecret
fires
of
their
fa�cies
discouered
by
the
smoake
of
their
desires
,
bewrayed
this
matter
vnto
her
father
long
time
before
they
woulde
.
The
Duke
dissembling
what
he
sawe
,
but
determined
to
disapoynt
that
he
most
missliked
,
neither
made
challenge
to
the
Knighte
,
nor
charged
his
Daughter
for
any
loue
was
betwixt
them
,
but
deuised
a
way
as
he
thought
more
sure
,
(
but
as
it
proued
moste
sorrowfull
)
to
set
these
louers
asunder
by
the
worke
of
an
inchantresse
most
cunning
in
her
kind
:
he
caused
Contarenus
,
to
be
conueyed
vp
and
carried
in
the
ayre
fro�
the
cost
of
Cambia
to
the
very
bou�ds
of
the
Occean
sea
:
whiche
cost
Occanon
twentye
thousande
Crownes
(
a
deere
price
for
repenta�ce
:
)
but
it
is
no
nouelty
for
Princes
to
make
their
wils
verie
costly
,
and
sometime
to
pay
deere
for
their
own
displeasures
.
Contarenus
thus
strangely
deuided
from
his
ioye
and
perplexed
aboue
measure
was
charged
by
the
inchantresse
to
weare
this
punishment
with
patience
,
which
necessitie
did
put
on
,
and
destiny
would
put
off
:
and
ere
seuen
yeeres
came
about
,
she
truely
assured
him
,
he
should
haue
for
his
reward
the
height
of
his
desire
:
but
first
he
should
fight
with
the
hardiest
knight
,
and
see
the
worthiest
Lady
of
the
world
.
The
whilst
shee
told
him
,
hee
must
there
take
the
gard
of
a
blinde
Hermit
,
who
shoulde
recouer
his
sight
,
and
he
his
satisfaction
,
both
at
one
time
,
so
shee
lefte
him
on
the
earth
,
and
tooke
her
way
again
into
the
ayre
.
Caudina
now
lacking
log
that
she
looked
for
,
the
sight
&
seruice
of
her
knight
,
fel
soon
in
those
diseases
that
accompany
such
desires
as
to
be
acombred
with
mistrust
,
curiositye
,
and
exceeding
vnrest
.
At
last
as
Princes
doe
fewe
thinges
priuily
,
but
they
haue
partakers
of
their
Councel
:
&
heires
to
crowns
lack
neuer
seruants
of
hope
,
which
be
curious
to
please
the�
:
The
deuise
and
dealing
of
Occanon
came
to
the
eares
of
his
daughter
,
which
beeing
told
her
:
And
is
it
euen
so
,
quoth
Candina
?
care
kings
for
no
right
?
then
right
cares
for
no
kingdomes
.
It
is
neither
the
court
of
Occanon
,
nor
the
cou�trey
of
Camb.
that
I
can
account
of
,
if
Contarenus
be
gone
:
Farewel
most
vnhappy
cou�trey
,
and
most
cruel
Father
,
that
turnes
me
to
this
fortune
,
to
follow
my
fates
,
which
neyther
greatnes
of
estate
nor
hazard
of
mine
aduenture
shal
make
mee
forsake
:
but
if
I
lose
not
my
life
,
I
wil
finde
Contarenus
,
if
he
be
in
the
world
.
This
said
,
she
pursueth
her
most
hard
determinations
,
and
taking
onely
two
Damsels
with
her
in
simple
habit
,
with
such
things
as
were
necessary
,
she
straightwaies
conueyed
her selfe
most
closely
from
the
borders
of
Camb.
&
with
toyle
too
long
to
tell
,
passed
perils
past
beliefe
,
til
at
last
she
arriued
at
the
grate
of
Sibilla
,
where
,
by
chaunce
she
met
with
a
most
noble
knight
eclipped
Loricus
,
by
loue
likewyse
drawen
thither
,
to
learn
what
should
betyde
him
.
This
Loricus
loued
a
Lady
that
was
matchlesse
,
in
such
maner
as
is
strange
,
for
after
much
deuise
to
attaine
but
the
fauour
that
she
would
be
pleased
,
hee
myght
but
loue
her
without
looking
froward
:
and
seeing
no
glaunce
of
her
lyking
(
his
vttermost
deuotion
)
to
find
surely
out
her
fancie
(
whiche
she
carried
most
closely
,
)
he
made
a
straunge
assay
with
all
the
semblance
that
might
be
.
He
shewed
to
set
by
her
but
lightly
,
that
was
so
sought
for
of
all
,
and
the
better
to
couler
the
passion
,
hee
was
not
able
to
conquer
,
hee
made
shew
of
choise
of
a
new
mistris
,
that
liued
euery
day
in
her
eye
:
A
peece
sure
of
pri��
but
farre
from
such
a
pearle
,
as
his
heart
onely
esteemed
.
And
to
this
Idoll
he
seemed
to
offer
all
hys
loue
and
seruice
,
leauing
no
manner
of
obseruaunce
vndone
,
that
to
loue
appertayned
:
As
wearing
her
colours
on
his
backe
,
her
pictures
in
his
bosome
,
keeping
her
company
aboue
all
others
,
and
continuing
most
at
her
commandement
:
which
espyed
by
this
Lady
(
that
indeed
was
liked
no
more
)
for
whatsoeuer
man
may
thinke
might
become
or
content
though
she
cared
not
for
his
choyse
,
yet
he
shewed
scorne
of
his
change
:
and
by
iealousie
disclosed
that
which
loue
could
not
discouer
.
Which
Loricus
perceiuing
,
he
fel
by
&
by
to
consider
,
that
the
want
of
his
worth
made
his
seruice
vnaccepted
,
and
no
impossibility
in
her
will
to
receiue
one
too
serue
her
,
that
merited
the
honour
of
such
fauour
.
Therefore
hee
left
his
owne
countrey
,
and
betooke
himselfe
altogether
to
trauel
,
and
to
armes
,
desiring
with
most
indeuour
but
to
deserue
that
reputation
as
this
great
and
noble
mistris
woulde
but
thinke
him
worthy
to
be
hers
,
though
she
would
neuer
bee
none
of
his
;
so
thinking
no
toyle
too
tough
,
nor
no
attempt
too
hard
to
attayne
to
renown
,
he
wandred
through
the
world
till
he
came
by
painfull
wayes
to
Sibillas
grate
,
where
he
met
with
Caudina
.
Where
these
two
louers
hauing
occasion
to
vnfold
al
their
fortunes
:
the
Lady
seeking
to
know
the
end
of
her
trauel
,
and
the
knight
aduise
for
the
ease
of
his
hope
,
they
both
receiued
this
answeare
of
Sibilla
:
That
as
they
were
nowe
coupled
by
this
fortune
,
so
they
should
neuer
depart
fellowship
,
till
they
had
found
out
a
place
,
where
men
were
most
stro�g
,
wome�
most
fayre
,
the
countrey
most
fertile
,
the
people
most
wealthy
,
the
gouernment
most
iust
,
and
the
Princes
most
worthy
:
so
shoulde
the
Lady
see
that
would
content
her
,
so
shoulde
the
knight
heare
that
might
comfort
him
.
Now
most
deere
and
best
deseruing
Lady
,
it
falles
to
my
purpose
,
and
your
praise
,
to
say
somewhat
of
my selfe
.
Olde
though
you
see
me
here
,
&
wrinckled
and
cast
into
a
corner
,
yet
once
haue
I
been
otherwise
:
A
knight
knowne
and
accounted
of
,
with
the
best
of
the
world
:
and
liuing
in
court
of
most
fame
amongst
a
swarm
of
knights
and
Ladies
of
great
woorth
and
vertue
,
where
beauty
bade
the
basse
&
desire
sought
the
gole
.
It
chaunced
me
to
loue
a
Lady
,
to
be
beloued
of
Loue
himselfe
,
if
he
could
but
haue
seene
her
:
but
as
she
was
such
as
did
excell
,
so
was
she
of
woonderfull
condition
,
wythout
disdaine
to
be
desired
,
but
most
dainty
to
bee
dealt
with
:
for
touch
her
,
&
she
wil
turne
to
20.
diuers
shapes
,
yet
to
none
but
to
content
,
as
me thought
,
that
thought
stil
to
touch
her
,
was
a
heauen
:
&
so
it
seemed
by
my
hold
that
was
so
loth
to
let
her
go
.
Till
(
alas
)
it
liked
her
at
last
to
put
on
the
shape
of
a
Tigris
so
terrible
to
behold
,
as
I
durst
hold
her
no
longer
,
and
being
so
escaped
,
I
could
neuer
more
sette
eie
on
her
.
Madam
,
thus
began
my
paine
,
but
you
heare
not
yet
my
punishment
:
beeing
shifted
from
the
sighte
of
that
I
sought
aboue
the
world
,
and
then
little
delighting
to
looke
on
any
thing
els
,
I
tooke
by
&
by
a
Pilgrimage
to
Paphos
in
Cyprus
,
trusting
to
heare
of
my
mistris
there
,
where
Venus
was
most
honoured
.
Whither
when
I
came
,
as
I
began
to
step
in
at
the
doore
of
her
temple
,
I
was
sodainly
stroken
blind
Astonied
.
at
my
mischaunce
,
and
vnderstanding
not
the
cause
thereof
I
fell
downe
on
my
knees
and
said
:
O
fairest
of
the
Goddesses
and
farthest
from
cruelty
,
what
hath
been
my
fault
,
that
thou
art
thus
offended
?
Thy
folly
&
presumption
(
quoth
Venus
Chaplen
as
I
gesse
)
from
my
youth
vp
quoth
I
,
haue
I
euer
been
an
honourer
of
vertue
,
a
delighter
in
learning
,
and
a
seruaunt
of
Loue
.
But
it
is
no
parted
affection
quoth
he
,
that
Venus
wil
be
honoured
with
.
Books
and
beauty
make
no
match
,
and
it
is
an
whole
man
or
no
man
,
that
this
Goddesse
wil
haue
to
serue
her
,
and
therwithal
taking
me
by
the
shoulders
,
he
thrust
me
out
of
the
Temple
.
So
with
sighes
and
sorrow
I
sate
down
in
the
porch
,
making
intercessio�
to
Apollo
(
the
peculiar
God
I
honored
)
to
haue
compassion
on
my
estate
:
Now
faithfull
prayers
beyng
hard
ere
they
be
ended
:
Mercury
comes
vnto
me
,
and
bid
me
be
of
good
comfort
,
the
goddesses
be
all
found
to
haue
this
fault
:
Diana
with
Acteo�
:
Pallas
with
Arachne
:
Iuno
with
Tirecias
,
were
angry
aboue
measure
:
so
is
Venus
now
with
thee
,
the
cause
with
the
remedy
shall
be
told
thee
at
Delphos
,
whither
straight
I
must
carry
thee
.
Which
he
had
no
sooner
spoken
,
but
by
&
by
I
was
set
in
the
temple
of
Apollo
.
Where
first
demanding
my
fault
,
the
Oracle
made
answere
:
Thy
feare
and
not
thy
faith
:
and
what
quoth
I
,
may
be
my
remedy
?
The
best
besides
the
beautifullest
,
the
Oracle
straight
answered
.
And
with
this
Apollo
his
priest
tooke
me
by
the
hand
,
recounting
vnto
me
the
whole
course
of
my
life
,
whom
I
loued
,
and
how
I
lost
her
.
And
when
I
told
him
of
the
faithfulnes
of
my
seruice
.
&
the
faithfulnes
of
my
meaning
,
of
the
variablenes
of
her
conditio�
,
and
at
the
last
of
the
fearefulnes
of
her
appera�ce
:
Ah
,
good
Hemetes
quoth
he
,
it
is
not
the
kind
of
wome�
to
be
cruell
,
it
is
but
their
countenance
,
&
touching
their
variablenes
,
who
wil
not
apply
himselfe
thereto
,
shall
not
muche
please
them
,
nor
long
hold
them
,
neither
is
it
to
be
found
fault
with
.
Nature
her selfe
loues
variety
,
so
it
be
done
without
deceit
.
Nowe
for
thy
faithfulnes
it
sufficeth
not
,
the
seruants
of
Venus
must
not
onely
haue
faith
,
but
also
lacke
feare
,
feare
lost
thee
thy
mistris
,
and
thy
boldnes
to
enter
into
Venus
Temple
,
being
vnacceptable
,
made
her
strike
thee
blind
.
But
Apollo
bid
me
tell
thee
,
the
Gods
wil
receiue
,
whom
women
forsake
,
thy
eyes
shut
vp
from
delight
,
shall
geue
thy
minde
more
open
vnderstanding
:
this
punishment
shall
be
thy
profite
,
Venus
can
barre
thee
but
from
her
felicity
of
loue
:
but
for
the
deuotion
thou
bearest
to
Apollo
,
hee
giues
thee
this
gift
,
to
be
able
to
discipher
the
destinie
of
euery
one
in
loue
,
and
better
to
aduise
them
,
then
the
best
of
her
Darlings
.
And
furthermore
,
doth
promise
thee
,
that
in
reuolution
of
yeres
thou
shalt
recouer
thy
sight
:
but
this
shall
not
betide
thee
till
at
one
time
,
and
in
one
place
,
in
a
countrie
of
most
peace
,
two
of
the
most
valiant
knights
shal
fight
,
two
of
the
most

This
Learned
or
long
tale
being
brought
to
his
end
:
the
poore
Hermit
loden
as
it
were
with
beades
and
other
such
ornaments
of
his
professio�
,
begins
to
tread
the
way
before
the
Queen
,
which
her
Maiestie
espying
,
refused
her
steed
,
and
betook
her self
in
like
sort
to
the
use
of
her
feet
,
&
accompanying
the
Hermit
(
her
self
waited
on
of
the
rest
)
fel
into
some
discourse
&
praise
of
his
good
tale
,
which
not
ended
,
or
rather
scarce
fully
begun
,
the
Q.
Ma.
had
in
sight
the
house
,
which
indeede
was
a
place
by
art
so
reared
from
the
ground
,
as
neuer
before
,
nor
hereafter
,
shal
I
see
the
like
.
First
it
was
inco�passed
the
number
of
200.
paces
round
with
lattise
,
the
place
of
the
princes
entrance
bedect
with
Iuy
&
spanges
of
gold
plate
,
the
glimering
wherof
was
such
,
that
men
of
great
iudgement
might
haue
held
themselues
at
stay
.
The
ground
fro�
thence
reared
litle
&
litle
to
the
altitude
of
forty
foot
or
more
,
the
path
in
mounting
couered
with
fresh
turues
,
with
such
art
,
that
a
great
many
made
question
of
his
skil
,
which
was
the
Layer
.
The
way
was
railed
with
lattice
,
beset
with
sweet
flowres
&
Iuy
,
as
before
:
aboue
in
the
house
was
a
Table
made
in
order
of
a
halfe
moon
or
more
,
couered
with
green
turues
(
&
so
replenished
with
sorts
of
dainty
,
&
those
diuers
dishes
belo�ging
to
banquet
,
that
the
beholders
might
wel
haue
though
,
Iupit
.
had
hoped
the
connuing
,
&
trusted
the
pleasing
by
banquet
of
his
faire
Europa
.
)
At
one
ende
therof
somwhat
dista�t
,
fro�
the
other
,
was
placed
another
table
(
but
round
)
with
a
chayre
costly
made
of
Crymson
veluet
,
imbrodred
with
branches
&
pictures
of
wild
beasts
&
trees
,
as
it
had
beene
a
peece
of
woorke
made
in
the
desartes
.
But
leaste
I
hold
you
too
longe
,
this
mounte
made
,
as
I
haue
sayde
,
aboute
an
Oake
,
the
toppe
whereof
was
inforced
by
strength
too
bende
downe
her
branches
to
couer
the
house
,
whiche
was
done
wyth
such
art
,
that
the
praise
of
the
beholders
comming
wold
haue
sufficed
the
woorker
for
his
trauel
:
although
hee
was
not
so
satisfied
for
his
skil
,
by
more
then
40.
pounds
.
A
number
of
fine
Pictures
with
posies
of
the
Noble
or
men
of
great
credite
,
was
in
like
sort
hanging
there
,
where
with
many
were
in
loue
,
and
aboue
the
rest
the
French
Embassadour
,
whiche
was
present
at
these
sightes
,
made
great
suite
to
haue
some
of
them
.
The
whiche
posies
,
with
some
perfect
note
of
their
pictures
,
I
would
haue
presented
vnto
you
:
but
because
the
Allegories
are
hard
to
be
vnderstood
,
without
some
knowledge
of
the
inuentors
,
I
haue
chosen
my
tyme
rather
when
my selfe
shall
be
present
,
&
more
the
sooner
,
because
I
woulde
leaue
nothing
vnfulfilled
of
my
firste
determination
.
Now
Hemetes
hauing
brought
her
Maiesty
to
the
entraunce
of
this
place
sayde
:
Here
most
Noble
Lady
,
hauing
now
brought
you
to
this
most
simple
Hermitage
,
where
you
shal
see
smal
cunning
,
but
of
nature
,
&
no
cost
,
but
of
good
wil
,
my
houre
approching
for
my
orrisones
(
which
according
to
my
vow
I
must
neuer
breake
)
I
must
here
leaue
your
maiestie
,
promising
to
pray
,
as
for
my selfe
,
that
whosoeuer
wish
you
best
,
may
neuer
wish
in
vayne
.
Thus
the
Hermite
departes
,
&
the
Queenes
Maiesty
addresseth
her selfe
with
merry
cheere
to
banqueting
,
which
to
encrease
a
diuine
sound
of
vnacquainted
instruments
in
the
hollow
roome
vnder
the
house
,
made
such
stroakes
of
pleasure
,
&
moued
such
delights
,
that
if
Apollo
himselfe
had
byn
there
,
I
thinke
hee
would
haue
intreated
the
learning
of
their
skill
,
or
at
the
leaste
forgotten
the
pleasant
remembrance
of
his
sweete
Daphnes
.
Her
Maiesty
thus
in
the
middest
of
this
mirth
might
espy
the
Queen
of
the
Fayry
drawen
with
6.
children
in
a
waggon
of
state
:
the
Boies
bravely
attired
,
&
her selfe
very
costly
apparrelled
,
whose
present
shew
might
wel
argue
her
immortality
,
and
presenting
her selfe
to
the
Queens
Maiesty
,
she
spake
as
followeth
.
As
I
did
roame
abroade
in
wooddy
range
,
In
shade
to
shun
the
heate
of
Sunny
day
:
I
met
a
sorrowing
knight
in
passion
strange
.
by
whom
I
learned
,
that
coasting
on
this
way
I
should
ere
long
your
highnesse
here
espie
,
to
whom
who
beares
a
greatar
loue
then
I
?
Which
then
tooke
roote
still
mounting
vp
on
height
,
when
I
behelde
you
last
nigh
to
this
place
,
with
gratious
speech
appeasing
cruell
fighte
.
This
loue
hath
caused
me
transforme
my
face
,
and
in
your
hue
to
come
before
your
eyne
,
now
white
,
then
blacke
,
your
frende
the
fayery
Queene
.
Which
marking
all
,
as
all
to
me
is
knowen
,
your
face
,
your
grace
,
your
gouerment
of
state
,
your
passing
sprite
whereby
your
fame
is
blowen
:
doe
knowe
by
certein
skill
you
haue
no
mate
:
and
that
no
man
throughout
the
worlde
hath
seene
a
prince
that
may
compare
with
th'
English
Queene
.
This
knowledge
kends
in
me
so
hot
desire
to
see
your
highnesse
here
in
this
my
walke
as
since
your
parting
hence
I
flam'de
in
fire
till
your
returne
that
I
might
heare
you
talke
,
that
none
to
you
a
better
harte
doth
beare
my selfe
in
speech
to
you
might
make
it
cleare
.
In
signe
whereof
accept
most
sacred
Queene
,
this
simple
token
wrought
within
this
woode
,
which
as
but
base
so
better
should
haue
beene
If
I
had
not
at
suddaine
vnderstoode
of
your
arriuall
here
,
which
made
me
take
what
came
to
hande
,
and
no
great
choyse
to
make
.
Her
speache
thus
ended
shee
deliuered
her
gifte
,
whiche
was
a
goune
for
her
Maiestie
of
greate
price
,
whereon
the
imbroderer
had
bestowed
the
summe
of
his
conning
,
which
she
receiued
with
yelding
thanks
:
to
whom
the
fayry
Dueene
replied
:
The
thing
is
farre
beneth
both
your
desert
,
and
my
desire
,
yet
am
I
glad
to
heare
your
highnesse
take
it
thus
in
so
good
parte
,
which
for
my selfe
,
if
it
like
you
to
weare
:
then
shall
I
reape
the
frute
of
happie
minde
,
as
honored
by
you
the
honor
of
your
kinde
.
To

there
was
deuised

endlesse
plainte
:
His
sprite
am
I
within
this
desart
wonne
,
to
rewe
his
case
whose
cause
I
cannot
shune
.
Dispaire
my
name
who
neuer
seeke
releife
,
frended
of
none
,
vnto
my selfe
my
foe
,
An
idle
care
mayntayned
by
firme
beleife
,
that
prayse
of
faith
shall
through
my
tormentes
growe
.
And
count
the
hopes
that
other
hartes
doe
ease
,
but
base
conceates
the
common
sorte
to
please
.
I
am
most
sure
that
I
shall
not
attaine
,
the
onely
good
wherein
the
ioy
doth
lye
.
I
haue
no
power
my
passions
to
refraine
,
but
wayle
the
want
which
nought
els
may
supply
.
Whereby
my
life
the
shape
of
death
,
must
beare
that
death
,
which
feeles
the
worst
that
life
doth
feare
.
But
what
auailes
with
Tragical
complaint
,
not
hoping
helpe
,
the
furies
to
awake
?
Or
why
should
I
the
happie
mindes
acquaint
with
dolefull
tunes
,
their
setled
peace
to
shake
?
O
yee
that
here
behold
infortunes
fare
,
there
is
no
griefe
that
may
with
mine
compare
.
Now
was
it
darke
nighte
,
and
her
Maiestie
filled
with
conceites
,
returneth
home
,
leauing
earnest
command
that
the
whole
in
order
as
it
fell
,
should
be
brought
her
in
writing
,
which
being
done
,
as
I
heare
,
she
vsed
,
besides
her
owne
skill
,
the
helpe
of
the
deuisors
,
&
how
thinges
were
made
I
know
not
,
but
sure
I
am
her
Maiesty
hath
often
in
speech
some
part
hereof
with
mirth
at
the
remembrance
.
But
to
keepe
my
promise
for
the
rest
,
I
will
begin
in
order
to
make
you
priuy
of
the
sequele
:
which
indeed
followeth
,
as
an
apt
consequent
to
what
is
past
.
Therefore
shal
you
vnderstande
,
that
vpon
the
20.
day
of
the
same
moneth
,
the
Queene
being
disposed
to
spend
her
time
with
some
delightes
,
this
Comedy
was
presented
,
acted
before
her
Maiesty
.
And
the
more
to
egge
you
forward
with
desire
of
the
end
,
assure
your selfe
,
it
was
as
well
thought
of
,
as
anye
thinge
euer
done
before
her
Maiestie
,
not
onely
of
her
,
but
of
the
rest
:
in
such
sort
,
that
her
Graces
passions
,
and
other
the
Ladies
could
not
but
shew
it selfe
in
open
place
more
then
euer
hath
beene
seene
.
