Note 436 — IV PAGEANTRY

There is only one narrative, by Philip Stringer (of St. John's, Cambridge), printed by Nichols, Eliz.¹, and Plummer, 245. Wood, Hist. of Oxford, ii. 248, follows an independent source. Boas, 252, makes some additions from academic archives, and cites from Twyne MS. xvii, f. 174, an order that 'the schollers which cannot be admitted to see the playes, doo not make any outcries or undecent noyses about the hall stayres or within the quadrangle of Christchurch, as usually they were wont to doo'. This was repeated at the visit of 1605. John Sanford's Apollinis et Musarum Eidyllia, reprinted by Plummer, 275, contains verses laudatory of the various guests.
