Abstract
garde of leves of goulde and colored silk.6 This ridicule of embroidered guards suggests that they were beginning to be stale at Court. In 1557, William Breton, father of Nicholas Breton, the Elizabethan poet, bequeathed to his eldest son his best damaske gowne wt the Imbroderd garde7-evidence that the fashion was worn in the City. Further, Heywood, in his Fifth Hundred of Epigrams, printed 1562, rails against brodered as if they were common wear.8 Cambyses may have been a product of the early adolescent pen of the Cambridge scholar, Preston; or it may have come from an unlettered writer, but one cannot doubt that the Queen in this play said her first farewell to brodered gardes and all the fashions new many years before 1569.
