    I suggest that {DELIA} refers to the virgin queen: {ELI(z)A(beth)}: ----------------------------------------------------------------- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delia

    <<{DELIA} is a feminine given name, either taken from an epithet
    of the Greek *moon goddess ARTEMIS* or else representing a
    short form of A{DELIA}, Be{DELIA}, Cor{DELIA} or O{DELIA}.>> ............................................................ https://tinyurl.com/y7g56zy3

    <<An exaltation of queen Elizabeth I's virgin purity identified
    her with the {MOON goddess} *who holds dominion over the waters*.
    Sir Walter Raleigh had begun to use {DIANA} and later {CYNTHIA}
    as aliases for the queen in his poetry around 1580, and images
    of Elizabeth with jewels in the shape of crescent moons or the
    huntress's arrows begin to appear in portraiture around 1586
    and multiply through the remainder of the reign.>> ----------------------------------------------------------------

    <<Amelia Bedelia is the protagonist and title character of a series of American children's books written by Peggy Parish until her death in 1988, and by her nephew, Herman Parish, beginning in 1995. The stories involve Amelia Bedelia repeatedly
    misunderstanding various commands of her employer by always taking figures of speech and various terminology literally, causing her to perform incorrect actions with a comical effect. For example, a request to "put out the lights" to her, means to
    literally put the lights outside. Part of her insight into literalism is that she comes from a family who takes everything literally: their method of ridding their house of dust is to "undust the furniture." However, she almost always manages to win
    everyone over at the end by baking a delicious <PIE>. ------------------------------------------------------------------

    Worcester's, *Oxford's* and *The Admiral's*
    First published in Shakespearean Authorship Review (English)

    http://www.sourcetext.com/sourcebook/library/bowen/26worcester.htm

    *Fisher's Folly* , so-called after the builder and first owner,
    Jasper Fisher, who died in 1579/80, was in the 1580's
    the residence of the Earl of Oxford. It was later to become
    Devonshire House and Thomas Fuller (1608-1661) informs us
    that Edward Alleyn "was born in the aforesaid parish
    (i.e. St. Botolph's, Bishopsgate), near Devonshire House,
    where now is *THE SIGN OF THE PIE*. He was bred a Stage-player"
    - [Worthies of England (1662), by Thomas Fuller.]

    At *THE SIGN OF THE PIE*, one would naturally expect to find
    an inn, which of course, would have given its name to the alley,
    not the other way round; so in spite of Fuller's "now," the inn
    must have existed, under that name, at least as early as 1615.
    *PIE (or MagPIE) ALLEY* was just south of Devonshire Street,
    leading to Devonshire House, and *PIE ALLEY* presumably led
    to the *PIE INN*, which was, therefore, not only "near"
    but "next" to Devonshire House. As G. F. Warner writes
    in his Introduction to the Catalogue of MSS. & Muniments of
    Alleyn's College, Dulwich: "Fuller's often-quoted statement
    that he (Edward Alleyn) "was born 'near Devonshire House,
    where now is *THE SIGN OF THE PIE*' is fully confirmed
    by the mention of *PYE ALLEY* and Fisher's Folly,
    the old name of Devonshire House, in close connexion
    with his father's property." [G. F. Warner, p. XV.]

    It seems that he had sold Fisher's Folly just in time, and at
    about the same time he sold Oxford Place, near London Stone,
    to Sir John Hart who, as Stow tells us, kept his mayoralty there.

    Oxford was certainly in no position at this time to maintain a London
    company of players, and a company travelling under his name is last
    heard of at Maidstone in 1589-90. At about the same time, a company
    under the patronage of Edward, 4th Earl of Worcester (son of the
    third Earl) makes its first appearance, at Coventry. It was this
    company which, sooner or later, was amalgamated with Oxford's.

    Meanwhile, on 14th July 1589, the Privy Council had written to
    Adlerman John Hart and others, "requiring them to take order for
    the relief of John Allen, "servaunte to me the Lo. Admirall,"
    against a certain Dr. Martin, "who seeketh by indirecte meanes
    to make frustrate a lease of a certain tenement and a garden
    demised by one John Roise to the suppliant's father and Mother and
    himselfe." [G. F. Warner, p. 85.] This letter, signed by Charles
    Howard (the Lord Admiral) and other members of the Privy Council
    contains what seems to be the earliest known reference to John
    Alleyn as "servant to the Lord Admiral." It is well known that
    he was in the Admiral's service "in" 1589 and I have, therefore,
    gone to a good deal of trouble to find out on what contemporary
    evidence this rather vague knowledge is based. According to the
    Shakespeare Encyclopaedia, he was "listed in 1589 as a member of
    the Admiral's Men and as part owner, with his brother Edward, of
    'playinge apparelles . . .'" which rather implies that the source
    of both pieces of information was the same; but as I have said,
    Richard Jones's deed of sale names no company. The odds were,
    of course, heavily against finding any such allusion,
    dated 1589 and earlier than 3rd January, but the above
    letter was in fact written six months after the deed of sale.

    In the deed of sale, itself, John Alleyn was described as a
    "Citizen and Innholder of London," and though no parish is named,
    he was presumably still an innholder of St. Botolph's without
    Bishopsgate; as he is known to have been just a year before, or less.
    Now, I am not suggesting that the property referred to in the letter
    was identical with that bought by John and Edward from their mother
    and step-father in 1585, obviously it was not, though it may have
    been adjacent to it. Anyway, this dispute over the lease is worth
    noting for what it tells us of John's reduced circumstances shortly
    after the sale of Fisher's Folly. He was badly in need of a powerful
    friend at this time and found one in the Admiral, who may have taken
    him into his own household, but there is no need to suppose that he
    became a member of the Admiral's company before November 1590, when
    he and James Tunstall were playing at the Theatre. The dispute over
    the lease was apparently still unresolved in December, 1589, when
    Howard drafted a letter to Sir William Drury, D.C.L., "umpire in
    the above dispute, asking his friendship and favour in behalf of
    his servant, John Allen." [G. F. Warner, p. 86.] We do not know
    the outcome, and neither do we know what became at this time of
    those four messages next to Fisher's Folly, though we may infer
    from the lease of 1615 that either John or Edward, or both, still
    owned "PYE ALLEY," but neither of them seems to have lived there
    after 1592, when John Alleyn describes himself as late of the
    parish of St. Botolph without Bishopsgate.>> ---------------------------------------------------------------
