London, March 15 . . . [Lord Mayor and City's remonstrances
read to King in Parliament, and] before they were introduced
some persons asked the lord in waiting, whether they should
be permitted to kiss his majesty's hand?
On his asking them, whether it was their desire so to do?
and they answering in the affirmative, they all had that
honour. After which, as they were withdrawing--his majesty
instantly turned round to his courtiers, and burst out a
laughing. Nero fiddled whilst Rome was burning.
