The embarrassments of an ambassador under these circumstances are hardly
exaggerated, perhaps, in Chapman's play, Monsieur D'Olive, where the
fictitious statesman bursts into a protest:
"Heaven I beseech thee, what an abhominable sort of Followers have I put
upon mee: ... I cannot looke into the Cittie, but one or other makes
tender his good partes to me, either his Language, his Travaile, his
Intelligence, or something: Gentlemen send me their younger Sonnes
furnisht in compleat, to learn fashions, for-sooth: as if the riding of
five hundred miles, and spending 1000 Crownes would make 'am wiser then
God meant to make 'am.... Three hundred of these Gold-finches I have
entertained for my Followers: I can go in no corner, but I meete with
some of my Wifflers in there accoutrements; you may heare 'am halfe a
mile ere they come at you, and smell 'am half an hour after they are
past you: sixe or seaven make a perfect Morrice-daunce; they need no
Bells, their Spurs serve their turne: I am ashamed to traine 'am
abroade, theyle say I carrie a whole Forrest of Feathers with mee, and I
should plod afore 'am in plaine stuffe, like a writing Schole-maister
before his Boyes when they goe a feasting."
