A more famous school was at Chelsea in Gorges House. Our first knowledge of this boarding-school comes from a play given by the pupils. It was dated 1676 and was entitled "_Beauty's Triumph_, a masque presented by the scholars of Mr. Jeffrey Banister and Mr. James Hart at their new Boarding-School for young Ladies and Gentlewomen kept in that house which was formerly Sir Arthur Gorges at Chelsey."[377] The "Epilogue--Spoken by a young lady" recounts "the serious things" done in the school, embroidery and modeling in wax being the chief items. One in rich works with lively colours tells Lucretia's rape or mourning Philomel's; Each chaste beholder sighs and drops a tear. * * * * * Another's different mind more pleasure takes In various forms to mould the painted wax; Such shape, such beauty in each piece is shown, Nature sits pale, or blushing on her own, To see her pride by curious art out-done. Between 1680 and 1690 Purcell's _Dido and Æneas_ was given at this school. D'Urfey's _Love for Money; or, the Boarding School_ (1691) has its scene "Chelsey by the River" and is supposed to refer to this school. It was here that Molly Verney learned to japan. The school maintained its repute under Mr. Portman, and later under Josias Priests. In 1680 the school was advertised: Josias Priests, dancing master, that kept a boarding school for gentlewomen in Leicester Field is removed to the great school-house in Chelsea, which was Mr. Portman's, where he did teach, and will continue the said master and others to the improvement of the said school. Gorges House was demolished in 1726. Two other notices belong in the reign of Queen Anne. The first one shows the continued popularity of the Hackney schools: Whereas it is reported that Mrs. Overing who keeps a Boarding School at Bethnal Green near Hackney, is leaving off; this is to give Notice that the said Report is false, if not Malicious. And that she continues to take sober young Gentlewomen to board and teach whatever is necessary to the Accomplishment of that sex. The second one reads, Mrs. Elizabeth Tutchin continues to keep her school at Highgate, notwithstanding Reports to the contrary. Where young Gentlewomen may be soberly Educated, and taught all sorts of Learning fit for young Gentlewomen.[378] In _The Levellers_ a dialogue between two young ladies, we have an account of the education given at most of these schools. One of the young ladies says:
