• German traveller, and convey a more striking
picture of the Court of Elizabeth than is given by
any of our native chronicler.:—
" We erased nest at the Royal Palace of Greco-

Humphrey Duke of Gloucester, and to have re-

and bareheaded; next came the Chancellor. bearing
the seals in a silk purse. hearers two. oar of which
carried the Royal Sceptre, the other the Sword of
State in a red scabhard,stiedden with goldenflears-
de-lis, the point upwards; next came the Pores:.
in the 56th year of her age (as we were told), very
majestic : her face oblong, fair, but wrinkled ; her
eyes small, yet black and pleasant ; her nose a lit-
tle hooked, her lips narrow, end her teeth black (a
defect the English seem subject to from their too
great use of sugar.)
" She had in her can two very rich pearls with
drop.; she wore fal.e hair, and that red; upon her
head she had a small croon. reported to have been
made of some of the gold of the celebreted Lune-
hourg.table ; her bosom was uncovered, as all the
English ladies have it, till they marry ; end she
had on a necklace of exceeding fine jewels; her
hands were smell, her fingers long. and her stature
neither tall nor low ; her air was stately, her man-
ner of speaking mild sod obliging. That day she
was dressed m white silk, bordered with pearls of
the size of beans. and over it • mantle of black
silk, shot with silver threads; her train was very.

who intend for different reasons) in English, French,
and Italian; fur besides heisig well skilled in Greek

Whoever 'peeks to her, it is kneeling; now and
then she raises some with her hand. While we
were there, William Slimmer. a Bohemian Ba-
ron, had letters to present to her, end she, sfter
pulling off her glove, rye him her right hand to
kiss, sparkling with rings and jewels, a mark of
particular favour. %VI, eeeee r she turned her face,

the hall where we were. petitions were presented to
her, and she received them mast graciously; which
necesioned the exclamation of ' God save the Queen
Elizabeth !' She answered it with, • I thanck youe
mine good peupel.' In the chapel was excellent
music; as soon as it and the service were over.
which scarce exceeded half an hour, the Queen re.
turned in the same state and order, and prepared
to go to dinner.
" A Gentleman entered the room bearing a rod,

which. alter they had both kneeled three times with
the utmost veneration, he spread upon the table,
sod after kneeling again they both retired ; then

had kneeled as the others had done. cud pieced what
was brought upon the table, they too retired with
the some ceremonies performed by the first ; st

bearing a tasting-knife; the former was dressed in
white silk. who, when she hail prostrated herself
