She was the first that did invent,
In coaches brave to ride;
She was the first that brought this

coaches to Sir Thomas Chamberlayne.

Charles v. of Spain; and again to the
earl of Rutland, for whom Walter
Nippon. Queen Elizabeth's subsequent
coachmaker, is recorded to have built
the first coach that ever was seen in

However this may be. a great stir
was certainly made in England by the
magnificence of the royal coaches
which Queen Bess received as pres

admirers at home followed suit Thus
