Venice, (a large city in Italy) May 7. Monday last being
the festival of the discovery of the Holy Cross of the
Relick . . . [7 lines] That day the Doge, Senate, Pope's
Nuncio, went in a body to St. Mark's Church, and heard
vesper; and next day, being Ascension-Day, the Doge, with
the same attendants, went on board the Bucentaure, and
marry'd the sea, with the usual ceremony. The theatre was
open'd with an opera call'd Bajazet, and there will be a
masquerade during the whole fair, which will last a
fortnight, as usual.
