"A Grey Coat lined with Murrey and White flowered Silk, with Gold Loops, and four Crape Hat-bands." Again, "A Sad-coloured Silk Coat, lined with Gold-striped Lutestring, with Silver-and-Silk Buttons; and a Purple Crape Hatband." Again, "A Purple Coat." The Emperor Leopold, who died 1705, never shaved his Beard during the time of Mourning, which often lasted for a long time. [Bancks's Hist. of Austria, p. 277.] The Empress-Dowagers never lay aside their Mourning, and even their Apartments are hung with Black till their deaths. [Bancks's Hist. of Austria, p. 400. He says this from Baron Polnitz's Memoirs, vol. iv. p. 46.] The Bavarian Family never give a Black Livery, or line their Coaches, in the deepest Mourning. [Polnitz, i. letter 22.] The Pope's Nieces never wear Mourning, not even for their nearest Relations; as the Romans reckon it so great a happiness for a Family to have a Pope in it, that nothing ought to afflict his Holiness's kindred. [Polnitz's Memoirs, ii. letter 33.] Queen Anne, on the death of Prince George of Denmark, wore Black and White, with a mixture of Purple in some part of her Dress. The precedent was taken from that worn by Mary Queen of Scots for the Earl of Darnley, which was exactly in point. [Secret History of England, ii. 299.] King Charles I. put the Court into Mourning for one Day on the death of the Earl of Portland (Richard Weston), Lord High Treasurer. [Stafford's Letters, i. 389.] BEARD, &c. CHARLES I.[377]--WILLIAM I. [377] See "The Life of Corinna," or Mrs. Elizabeth Thomas, Jun. Printed in 1731. Mrs. Thomas's Great Grand-Father was Mr. Richard _Shute_, a Turkey Merchant, one of the Members for the City of London, and much favoured by King Charles I. who gave him the Name of _Sattin_-Shute, by way of distinction from another Branch of the same Name and Family, and from his usually wearing a _Sattin_ Doublet cut upon White Taffata.
