In the twentieth year of the reign of the right high and puissant
King Henry the Eighth, namely, in 1529, on the 21st of April, and
on one of the loveliest evenings that ever fell on the loveliest
district in England, a fair youth, having somewhat the appearance
of a page, was leaning over the terrace wall on the north side of
Windsor Castle, and gazing at the magnificent scene before him. On
his right stretched the broad green expanse forming the Home Park,
studded with noble trees, chiefly consisting of ancient oaks, of
which England had already learnt to be proud, thorns as old or
older than the oaks, wide-spreading beeches, tall elms, and
hollies. The disposition of these trees was picturesque and
beautiful in the extreme. Here, at the end of a sweeping vista, and
in the midst of an open space covered with the greenest sward,
stood a mighty broad-armed oak, beneath whose ample boughs, though
as yet almost destitute of foliage, while the sod beneath them
could scarcely boast a head of fern, couched a herd of deer.
