The description:
Here is some talk, as if the pretended duke of York wer at Venis, intending thence from Rom, to see the great solemnity in the queen of Sweds entertainment, which is now the great affair in discourse throh al Italy. 'Tis said she travils a hors-back lyk a man, being clad so from middle upwards with doublet, cassack, band, hat, sether, in so much that the Italians say she is an hermofrodyt. Either her country or sex are very little beholden to her, for she ads reputation to neither.
