Note 328 — III THE REVELS OFFICE
Reading edition
The conjecture of R. W. Bond (Lyly, i. 41) that Lyly was actually Clerk Comptroller is rendered untenable by our complete knowledge of the succession to that post; cf. Tudor Revels, 60, and Feuillerat, Lyly, 194, who shows that Lyly was the Queen's 'servant' as Esquire of the Body.
