John Chamberlain writes to Ralph Winwood. The masque projected by the Gentlemen of Gray's Inn and the Inner Temple for the wedding of Princess Elizabeth and the Elector Palatine was not a success. It started out well, Chamberlain notes, with the gentlemen travelling by water 'with theyre boats and barges exceedingly trimmed, and furnished with store of lights that made a glorious shew.' But when they arrived at Court, the hall was so crowded that there was no space for them to perform. Chamberlain speculates that the King was already tired of spectacles after two consecutive nights of celebrations.
