' She inquired if she pla}-ed well upon the lute and the virginals ? I said rea- sonably for a queen.
" That same day, after dinner, my Lord of Hunsdon drew me to a quiet gallery, that I might hear some music, 178 QUEEN ELIZABETH, AND but he said he durst not avow it, where I might hear the queen play upon the virginals. After I had harkened awhile, I stood by the tapestry that hung before the door of the chamber, and seeing her back was towards the door, I ventured within the chamber and stood... at a pretty space, hearing her play excellently well ; but she left off immediately as soon as she turned about and saw me. She appeared surprised and came forward, seeming to strike me with her hand, alleging that she used not to play before men, but when she was solitaiy, to shun melan- choly. She asked how I came there. I answered, as I was walking with my Lord of Hunsdon we passed by the chamber door ; I heard such melody as ravished me, whereby I was drawn in ere I knew how ; excusing my fault of homeliness, as being brought up in the court of France, where such freedom was allowed ; declaring my- self willing to endure whatever punishment her Majesty should please to inflict upon me for so great an offence.
