On Wednesday, the Queen was taken to a goodlie fish-pond (now a meadow) where was an angler.

After some words from him a band of fishermen approached, drawing their nets after them; whereupon the angler, turning to her Majesty, remarked that her virtue made envy blush and stand amazed.
Having thus spoken, the net was drawn and found to be full of fish, which were laid at Elizabeth's feet.

The entry for this day ends with the sentence, "That evening she hunted." On Thursday the lords and ladies dined at a table forty-eight yards long, and there was a country dance with tabor and pipe, which drew from her Majesty "gentle applause." On Friday, the Queen knighted six gentlemen and passed on to Chichester.
[Sidenote: A DESPERADO POET] A year later the first Lord Montagu died.

He was succeeded by another Anthony, the author of the "Book of Orders and Rules" for the use of the family at Cowdray, and the dedicatee of Anthony Copley's _Fig for Fortune_, 1596.

Copley has a certain Sussex interest of his own, having astonished not a little the good people of Horsham.
