Note 121 — BOOK III THE COMPANIES

I have no means of dating ‘The order of the show to be done at the Turret, entring into the parke at Grenewich, the musick being within the turrett’, which is preserved in Egerton MS. 2877, f. 182, as ‘acted before Q. Elizabeth’. A speech of forty lines beginning ‘He Jove himselfe, that guides the golden spheare’, was delivered by ‘one of the biggest children of her Mates Chappell’ as Goodwill, and was followed by a song beginning ‘Ye Helicon muses’.
