[467] Birch, i. 146. ‘Mr. [Anthony] Standen was at the play and dancing on twelfth-night, which lasted till one after midnight, more by constraint than by choice, the earl of Essex having committed to him the placing and entertaining of certain Germans. The queen appeared there in a high throne, richly adorned, and “as beautiful”, says he, “to my old sight, as ever I saw her; and next to her chair the earl, with whom she often devised in sweet and favourable manner”.’
