July 15. His most Christian Majesty hears high mass every
day at Compiegne; and 'tis remarkable that the musical parts
are not only performed by the usual hands, but even by some
of the best nobility in France, who seem to take a pride in
being reckoned consummate fidlers and singers: Amongst
these are the Dukes of Espernon and la Tremouille, Count
d'Ayen and the Marquis de la Sourche. 'Tis a comfort that
the nobility of England have a more manly and becoming
taste.
