I forbore to finish the detail of the Function I saw at the Pope's chapel [on Palm Sunday], because I would not give you any of my suggestions for matter of fact; but now I am fully informed, I told you, the Pope, Cardinals, &c. went in procession out of the chapel, with their palm-branches in their hands, into an adjacent great hall, but did not mention the whole form, because I was not master of the words set to musick, and sung by two Eunuchs, upon shutting the chapel-door, the moment the procession had entered the hall. The words were these, (the very same I had suggested) Lift up your beads, O ye gates, that the King of Glory may come in, &c. upon which the doors flew open, and the procession returned into the chapel. |
