Lhen the proud and happy Anne Boleyn em barked at Greenwich to proceed to the Tower for her coronation, She was attended by the Mayor and Corporation in their barges, a circumstance that must have recurred to her memory and caused her many a bitter tear when she found herself ?oating downwards to her last place of residence. Previous to her entrance into that nar row home to which neither her friends nor her foes could hope to avoid following her.
