THE ARCH'S OF TRIVMPH Erected in honor of the High and mighty prince . Iames . the first of that name . King , of England . and the sixt of Scotland . at his Maiesties Entrance and passage through his Honorable Citty & chamber of London . vpon the 15th . day of march 1603

Invented and published by Stephen Harrison . Ioyner and Architect : and graven by William Kip.

TO THE RIGHT HONORABLE SIR THOMAS BENNET KNIGHT , LORD MAIOR OF THIS CITIE , THE RIGHT WORSHIPFULl the Aldermen his Brethren , and to those Worshipfull Commoners , elected Committies , for the Managing of this Businesse .

THE loue which I beare to your Honour and Worships : and the duty wherewith I am bound to this honourable Citie , makes me appeare in this boldnesse to you ; To whome I humbly Consecrate these fruites of my inuention , which Time hath nowe at length brought foorth , and ripened to this perfection . That Magnificent Royalty , and glorious Entertainement , which you your selues for your part , out of a free , a cleare , and verie bounteous disposition , and so many thousands of woorthie Citizens , out of a sincere affection and loyalty of his Maiestie , did with the sparing of no cost , bestowe but vpon one day , is here newe wrought vp againe , and shall endure for euer . For albeit those Monuments of your Loues were erected vp to the Cloudes , and were built neuer so strongly , yet now their lastingnes should liue but in the tongues and memories of men : But that the hand of Arte giues them here a second more perfect beeing , aduaunceth them higher then they were before , and warrants them that they shall doe honour to this Citie , so long as the Citie shall beare a name . Sory I am that they come into the world no sooner : but let the hardnesse of the labour ; and the small number of handes , that were busied about them , make the faulte ( if it bee a faulte ) excusable . I would not care if these vnpainted Pictures were more Costly to me , so that they might appeare curious enough to your Lordship and Worships ; yet in regard , that this present Age can lay before you no President that euer any in this land performed the like , I presume these my endeuours shall receiue the more worthie liking of you . And thus Dedicating my Labours and Loue to your honourable and kinde Acceptations , I most humbly take my leaue , this 16 of Iune 1604 .

Most affectionately deuoted to your Lordship and Worships , Stephen Harrision .

Ode . Babell that stroue to weare A Crowne of Cloudes , and vp did reare her forehead hye , With an ambitious lust to kisse the skie , Is new or dust , or not at all , proud Nymrods wall , And all his Antique monuments , Left to the world as presidents , Cannot now shew ( to tell where they did stand , ) So much in length as halfe the Builders hand . The Mansolaean tombe ; The sixteene curious gates in Rome , which times preferre , Both past and present : Neroes Theater , That in one day was all gilt o're : Ad to these more , Those Columnes , and those Pyramids , that won Wonder by height : the Colosse of the Sun : Th' Aegyptian Obelisks : are all forgotten : Onely their names grow great : themselues be rotten . Deare friend ! what honour then Bestow'st thou on thy Country men ? Crowning with praise , By these thy labors , ( as with wreathes of bayes ) this royall City : where now stand , ( built by thy hand ) Her Arches in new state ; so made , That their fresh beauties n'ere shall fade : Thou of our English Triumphes rear'st the Fame , Boue those of old ; But aboue all , thy name . Tho. Dekker .

Ode . Triumphes were wont with swet and bloud bee croun'd : To every brow They did allow . The liuing Laurer which begirted round Their rusty Helmets , and had power to make The Souldier smile , while mortall wound did ake . But our more ciuill passages of state ( like happy feast of In'-urd rest Which bels and woundlesse Canons did relate , ) Stood high in Ioy : since warlike Triumphes bring , Remembrance of our former sorrowing . The memory of these should quickly fade , ( for pleasures streame is like a dreame . Passant and fleet as is a shade , ) Vnlesse thy selfe which these faire Models bred , Had giuen them a new life when they were dead . Take then ( good Country man and friend ) that merit , which folly lends . ( not iudgment sends , ) To forraine shores for stranger to inherit : Perfection must be bold with front vpright , Though Enuy gnash her teeth whilst she would bite . Ioh. Webster .

The Deuice called Londinium .

THese fiue Triumphall Arches were first taken in hand in the beginning of Aprill 1603. presently after his Maiesty was proclaimed . It being expected that his passage would haue bene through his honourable City and Chamber to his Coronation vpon Saint Iames his day following : But by reason of the sicknesse , it pleased his Maiestie to be solemnely Crowned at Westminster , without sight of these Triumphs : Notwithstanding the businesse being set on foote , went on with all expedition ; till Bartholmew-tide and then ceased because of the great mortalitie , 40. dayes more was giuen for the preparing of this Triumphall Arch . In which time , the streetes for that purpose were diligently surueyed , heights , breadths and distances taken , as it were to make Fortisications for the solemnities : Seuen peeces of ground like so many fields for a battell ) were plotted forth , vpon which these Triumphes should be erected : The gladsome and long desired Morning at length is come , In which the Streetes seeme to bee paued with people , that in heapes flocke together , to behold their proud heads that were aduanced in this manner .

THE first Pegme was erected in Fanchurch-streete , the backe of it so learning on the East ende of the Church , that it ouer-spread the whole streete . And thus we describe it .

It was a Flat-square , builded vpright ; the Perpendicular-line of the whole Frame , ( that is to say , the distance from the bottome to the top , ) as the Ground-line , is ( also in this , so in all the rest ) to be found out and tried by the Scale , diuided by 1. 2. 3. 4. and 5. and set at the lower end of the Peece : By which figures feete are represented : So that in all the descriptions , where mention is to bee made of Heights , Breadths , or any other Commensurable proportions , you shall find them left thus — with a blancke , because we wish you rather to apply them to the Scale your selfe , then by setting them downe , to call either your skill or iudgement in question .

And note withall , that the Ground-plot hath not the same Scale which the vpright hath , for of the two Scales , which you see annexed , the Lesser is of the Ground , and standeth in the Ground-plot , the Greater , for the Edifice or Building it selfe .

This Gate of Passage , then ( into which his Maiesty made his first entrance ) was deriued from the Tuscana ( beeing the principal pillar of those 5. vpon which the Noble Frame of Architecture doth stand , ) for the Tuscane Columne is the strongest & most worthy to support so famous a Worke , as this Fabricke was , considering that vpon his Rusticke Pillars , the goodliest Houses , Turrets , Steeples , &c. within this City , were to be borne : And those Models , stood as a Coronet on the forehead or Battlements of this Great and Magnificent Edifice .

The cheekes or sides of the Gate , were ( as it were ) doubly guarded with the Pottraitures of Atlas King of Mauritania , who ( according to his owne shortnesse and thicknesse ) from the Symetry of his foote , caused a pillar to be made , whose height with Base and Capitall was 6. times the thicknesse in height . And so is this of ours , bearing the name of Tuscana , as we sayd before , and reaching to the very point of the Arch , from whence wee did deriue Dorica which bore vp the Architiue , Frize , and Coronixe , and was garnished with Corbels or Croxtels fitting such worke , besides the beauty of Pyramids , Beasts , Water , Tables , and many other inrichments , which you may find exprest in the Peece it selfe .

From a Gallery directly ouer the gate , the sound of loud Musicke ( being the Waites and Hault-boyes of the City ) was sent forth .

At the foot of the Battlements was in Capitall letters inscribed this word Londinium , & beneath that , these words Camera Regia .

In this Pegme or Arch Triumphall , were placed 12. personages , of which she that had the preeminence to sit highest , was cald Monarchia Britannica .

At her feete sate Diuine Wisedome . On her right hand sate three of the daughters of Genius Vrbis , whose names were Veneration , Promptitude , Vigilance : On her left , the other three , viz. Gladnesse , Louing Affection , Vnanimitte .

Beneath all these stood the Genius of the Citty , richly attirde , being supported on the right hand by a person figuring The Councell of the City ; and on the left by a person figuring the Warlike force of the City .

Directly vnder these , in an Abacke thrust out before the rest , lay Thamesis the Riuer , leaning his Arme vpon a Gourde , out of which , water with liue fishes were seene to runne forth , and play about him .

The speakers were onely Thamesis and Genius , who vttered these speeches following on the other side .

The speeches of Gratulation . GENIVS . TIme , Fate , and Fortune haue at length conspir'd , To giue our Age the day so much desir'd . What all the minutes , houres , weekes , moneths , and yeares , That hang in file vpon these siluer haires , Could not produce , beneath the Britane stroke , The Roman , Saxon , Dane , and Norman yoke , This point of Time bath done . Now London reare Thy forehead high , and on it striue to weare Thy choisest Gems Teach thy steepe Towers to rise Higher with people : Set with sparkling eyes Thy spacious windowes : and in euery streete , Let thronging Ioy , Loue , and Amazement meete . Cleaue all the aire with showtes , and let the cry Strike through as long , and vniuersally As thunder ; For , thou now art blist to see That sight , for which thou didst beginne to be . When Brutus plough first gaue thee infant bounds , And I , thy GENIVS walk's auspicious rounds In euery furrow ; Then did I forelooke , And saw this day mark't white in Clotho's booke . The seuerall Circles , both of change and sway , Within this Isle , there also figur'd lay : Of which the greatest , perfectest , and last Was this , whose present happinesse we taste . Why keep you silence Daughters ? What dull peace Is this inhabites you ? Shall office cease Vpon th' aspect of him , to whom you owe 〈…〉 Shall TIME knowe , That Article , wherein your flame stood still , An 〈…〉 Now heauen auert an i 'd Of that blacke looke . Ere pause possesse your breasts I wish you more of Plagues : " Zeale when it rests , Leaues to be zeale . Vp thou tame RIVER , wake , And from thy liquid limbes this slumber shake : Thou drown'st thy selfe in inofficious sleepe ; And these thy sluggish waters seeme to creepe , Rather them flow . Vprise , and swell with pride Aboue thy bankes . " Now is not euery Tyde . THAMESIS . TO what vaine end should I contend to show My weaker powers , when Seas of pompe o'reflow The Citties face : and couer all the shore With san is more rich than Tagus wealthy ore ? When in the stood of Ioy , that comes with him , He drownes the world ; yet makes it liue and swimme , And spring with gladnesse : Not my fishes heere , Though they be dumbe , but do expresse the cheere of these bright streames . No lesse may These , and I Boast our delights , albe't we silent lie . GENIVS . INdeed , true Gladnesse doth not alwayes speake : " Ioy bred and borne but in the tongue , is weake . Yet ( least the feruor of so pure a flame , As this my City beares , might loose the name , Without the apt euenting of her heate ) Know greatest IAMES ( and no lesse good , than great . ) In the behalfe of all my vertuous Sonnes , Whereof my eldest there , thy pompe forerunnes , ( A Man without my flattering , or his Pride , As worthy , as hee 's blest to be thy guide ) In his graue name , and all his Brethrens right , ( Who thirst to drinke the Nectar of thy sight ) The Councell , Commoners , and Multitude ; ( Glad , that this day so long deny'd , is viewd ) I tender thee the heartiest welcome , yet That euer King had to his Empires seate : Neuer came man , more long'd for , more desir'd And being come , more reuerenc'd , lou'd , admir'd : Heare , and record it : " In a Prince it is " No little vertue , to knowe who are his . With like deuotions , do I stoope t' embrace This springing glory of thy Godlike race ; His Countries wonder , Hope , Loue , Ioy and Pride : How well dooth he become the royall side Of this erected , and broad spreading Tree , Vnder whose shade may Brittane euer be . And from this branch , may thousand branches more Shoote or'e the Maine , and knit with euery shore In bonds of Mariage , Kinred , and Increase ; And stile this Land , the Nauill of their peace . This is your Seruants wish , your Cities vow , Which still shall propagate it selfe , with you ; And free from spurres of Hope , that slow minds moue : " He seekes no hire , that owes his life to Loue . And heere she comes that is no lesse a part In this dayes greatnesse , then in my glad heart . Glory of Queenes , and Glory of your Name , Whose Graces do as farre out-speake your Fame , As Fame doth silence , when her Trumpet rings You Daughter , Sister , Wife of seuerall Kings : Besides Alliance , and the stile of Mother , In which one title you drowne all your other . Instance , be that faire shoote , is gone before Your eldest Ioy , and top of all your store , With those , whose sight to vs is yet deni'd , But not our zeale to them , or ought beside This City can to you : For whose estate She hopes you will be still good Aduocate To her best Lord . So , whilst you mortall are , No taste of sower mortalitie once dare Approach your house ; nor Fortune greete your Grace But comming on , and with a forward face .

The Italians Pegme stood in Gracious-streete .

THE second Triumphall Arch was erected by the Italians : the cost theirs : the Inuention their owne : It tooke vp the whole breadth of Gracious-streete ( on which it stood ) being — foote : the height of it was — foote . The lower parte of this Building , was a large square , garnished with foure great Corinthia Columnes : In the midst of which square , was cut out a faire and a Spacious hie gate , Arched , being — foote in the Perpendicular-line , and — in the Ground-line : directly ouer the gate were aduaunced the Armes of the Kingdome , the Supporters whereof were fairely cut out to the life .

On the top of this first square ( beeing flat ) was erected another Square which bare in the fore side foure more lesser Columnes , on which were all the garnishments belonging to those pillars : as namely , the architriue frize and Cornish , on which Square was placed a great Canted Pedestall , which with his moldinges did diminish vpwards to smaller Cants , on which top was fixed a Personage carued or molded out to the life , her left hand leaning on a sword , with the point downeward , and her right hand reaching forth a Diademe , which , shee seemde by bowing of her knee and head , to bestow vpon his Maiestie .

On the foure Corners of this vpper parte , stoode foure naked Portractures ( in great ) with artificiall trumpets in their hands .

All which Shapes that were erected in most liuely colours , together with Pyramides , long Streamers , Galleries , and all other inrichments belonging to this Arch triumphant : I referre you to the Modell or Peece it selfe , for the Front of it , as the next leafe will shewe you , so likewise proportionall was the backe side to the fore-Front .

The Italians , were placed within two little Galleries very richly and stately hung , vnder the Arch of the Passage : In whose behalfe , thus much Latine was deliuered .

The Italians Speech .

SAlue , Rex magne , salue . Salutem Maiestati tuae Itali , foelicissimum Aduentum laeti , foelices sub te futuri , precamur . Eccè hic Omnes , Exigui Munere , pauculi Numero : sed magni erga Maiestatem animi , multi obsequij . At nec Atlas , qui Coelum sustinet , ne ; ipsa Coeli Conuexa , altitudinem attingant meritorum Regis optimi , Hoc est , eius quem de Teipso expressists doctissimo ( Deus ! ) & admirabili , penicillo , Beatissimos populos , vbi & Philosophus regnat , & Rex Philosophatur . Salue ; Viue Rex Potentissime , foeliciter . Regna , Rex sapientissime , foeliciter . Itali optamus Omnes , Itali clamamus Omnes , Omnes , Omnes .

The same in English .

ALL haile mightie Monarch ! wee ( the Italians ) full of Ioy to behold thy most happie presence , and full of hopes to inioy a felicitie vnder thy Royall wing , doe wish and pray for the health of thy Maiestie . Behold , here wee are all ; meane in merite : fewe in number : but towards thy Soueraigne selfe , in our loues great , in our duties more . For neither Atlas , who beares vp heauen , no nor the Arched roofe it selfe of heauen , can by many-many degrees reach to the toppe and glorious height of a good and vertuous Kinges deseruings . And such a one is he , whome ( Good God! ) most liuely , most wisely , and in wonderfull colours , thou didst then pencill downe in thine owne person , when thou saydst those people were blest , where a Philosopher rules , and where the Ruler playes the Philosopher . All haile thou royallest of Kinges ; liue thou mightiest of Princes : Reigne thou wisest of Monarches in all prosperitie : these are the wishes of vs Italians : the hearty wishes of vs all : All , euen All .

The Pegme of the Dutchmen .

THE third welcome that his Maiesty receiude , was from the Belgians , who had builded a stately Triumphall Arch , to entertaine him in , and thus was it contriude .

So wide did the bodie of it extend it selfe , that it swallowed vp the breadth of the whole streete , neere the Royall Exchange in Cornehill . The Passage of state was a gate , comely , and large , ascending — foote in heigth , and — foote in the breadth , neately Arched , and graced with two lesser Posternes on the sides , whose dimensions you may behold in the modell .

Sundry inscriptions were in golden Letters to bee seene , both ouer the Gate , and in the Tables , fild with excellent Pictures ; as the King in his Imperiall Robes : with other Portractures of Princes , and Poeticall Emblemes of Peace , &c. On the back part also were peeces , wherein were drawne the people of the Seuenteene Prouinces at their Husbandry ; their Exchange : their Mart: Also seuenteene children on the fore side , representing the seuenteene Prouinces , sate in degrees , each of them hauing a Scutcheon in his hand , figuring his Prouince .

On the shoulders of this Belgicke body , stood rowes of Balysters with Pedistals , that supported Lyons rampant , bearing vp Banners : And aboue them in the midst of another square about with Balysters likewise , was aduanced a woman ( figuring Diuine Prouidence , her feete fastned to a great Pedestall , whose toppe was curiously connexed and knit together with the tailes of two Dolphins .

Other Garnishments there were that gaue illustration and beauty to this building , as Columnes , Pyramids , &c. whose proportions your eye may measure on the other side . The speech , wherein the loue of these Strangers was testified , was deliuered by a boy in Latine , and is thus much in English .

The speech of the Dutchmen .

GREAT King , those so many Scepters , which euen fill thy right hand , are all thine owne , onely by the Prouidence of heauen . Behold , heauen it selfe laughes to see thy Subiects smile , and thunder out loud Plaudities , to heare their Aues . This honor of Soueraignty beeing at the beginning of the world bestowed but vpon few ; vpon the heads of few were the cares of a Crowne set , for to sway onely but one Empire ( happily ) as it is a labour hard : So none can vndergoe the waight but such as are mightie : But ( with a becke as it were ) to controle many Nations ( and those of different dispositions too ) O! the Arme of man can neuer do that , but the finger of God . God therefore ( that guides the Chariot of the world ) holds the Raynes of thy Kingdome in his owne hand : It is he whose beames lend a light to thine . It is hee that teacheth thee the Art of Ruling , because none but hee made thee a King . And therefore as thou growest in yeares , thou waxest old in Vertues : of all thy Vertues , Religion sitting highest . And most worthy ; for by Religion , the hearts of barbarous Nations are made soft : By Religion , Rebellion hath a yoke cast about her necke , and is brought to beleeue , that those Lawes to which thou submittest euen thy royall selfe , are most easie . With Religion Iustice keepes companie , who once fled from this prophane world , but hearing the name of King Iames she is againe returned . By her side sits her sister Fortitude , whose life is readie ( in Heroike actions ) to bee spent for the safety of thy people . Besides to make these Vertues full , Apollo and the Muses , resigne , the one his Golden lyre , the other their Laurell , to thy royall hands , whilest Plenty ( daughter to Industry ) layes the blessings both of Countrey and Cittie in heapes at thy feete . These are the gifts of heauen : the fame then spreading it selfe so farre , that ( to wonder at them ) both the Poles seeme to come together . We ( the Belgians ) likewise come , to that intent : a Nation banisht from our owne Cradles , yet nurst and brought vp in the tender bosome of a Princely mother , Eliza . The loue which we once dedicated to her ( as a Mother ) doubly do We vowe it to thee , our Soueraigne , and Father : Intreating wee may bee sheltred vnder thy wings now , as vnder hers : Our Prayers beeing , that he who through the loynes of so many Kingdomes , may likewise multiply thy years , and lengthen them out to the age of a Phoenix : And that thy Queene ( who is one part of thy selfe ) with thy Progeny ( who are the second hopes of thy people , ) may both giue too , and receiue from , thy Kingdome Immortall glory .

The Deuice called , Noua foelix Arabia , The new Arabia foelix .

THIS Pegme presented it selfe aboue the great Conduit in Cheape : and caried the name of the New Arabia , vnder which title the whole Island of Britannia was figured .

This was beautified with a large Gate in the midst : On each side was cut out a Posterne , either of which was — foot wide , and — foot high : before which Posternes two Portals were built from the same , hauing their sides open foure seuerall wayes , and seruing as Pedestals ( of Rusticke ) to support two great Pyramids , whose bases were held vp with foure great Bals , and foure Lyons .

This Mechanicke body had other dead limmes , ( which you may behold cut out on the other side . ) The liuely and stirring parts were these . viz.

In the most eminent place was aduanced a person , representing Arabia Britannica , and within a Nesete ( beneath her ) stood Fame .

Directly vnder her , in a wide hollow square , were exalted fiue greene Mounts , the one swelling aboue the other ; vpon which the fiue Senses , ( Hearing , Seeing , Feeling , Smelling and Taste , ) sate heauily drooping : before which Mounts , an Artificiall Lauer was erected , called the Fount of Vertue ; out of which ( from sundry pipes ) vpon his Maiesties approach , ranne wine very plenteously .

At the foote of this Fount lay Detraction and Obliuion , Sleeping till his Maiesties approach ; but beeing arriued at the place , and the Trompe of Fame , starting vp the Senses , they two likewise awaked , doing their best , with clubs to beate downe the Fount , but were hindered by the Senses , and a person representing Circumspection .

Vpon seuerall Ascensions , ( and close adioyning to the Pyramids , ) were seated at one side , the three Graces , and on the other side the three Howres .

The speakers were Fame , Howres , Euphrosine ( one of the Graces ) and Circumspection , who was mounted on a Stage , raild round about with Pilastres , beeing drawne foorth some thirtie foote in length from the other Building . And thus sounded their voyces .

FAME . TVrne into yce mine eye-bals whilst the sound , Flying through this brazen tromp , may back rebound , To stop Fames hundred tongues , leaning them mute , As is an vntoucht bell , or stringlesse Lute , For Vertues Fount , which late ran deepe and cleere , Dries : and melts all her body to a teare : You Graces : and you Houres that each day runne , On the quicke errands of the Golden Sunne , Hereupon Fame sounding her Trumpet , the Sences start vp , Detraction and Obliuion , awaken , and vanish , whilest Circumspection appeares , vttering thus much to the King . Great Monarch of the West , whose glorious Stem , Does new support a triple Diadem , Wearing more then that of thy graund Graund-sire , Brute . ) Thou that mayst make a King thy Substitute , And doest besides the Red-rose and the white , With the rich flower of France , thy garland dight , Wearing about kings now , or those of old , A double Crowne , of Lawrell and of Gold , O let my voyce passe through thy Royall care , And whisper thus much , that we figure here . A new Arabia , in whose spiced Nest , A Phoenix liu'd , and dide in the Sunnes brest , Her losse made Sight , in Teares to drowne her eyes , O say ? to Vertues Fount what has befell , That thus her Veines shrinke vp . GRACES — HOWRES . We cannot tell . EVPHROSINE . Behold the fiue-fold guard of Sense , which keepes the sacred streame , sits drooping : neare them sleepe , Two horrid monsters : Fame , summon each sense , To tell the cause of this strange Accidence . The Eare grew deaffe , Taste like a Sick-man lyes , Finding no rellish : Euery other Sence Forgat his office , Worth and excellence , Whereby this Fount of Vertue gan to freeze , Threatned to be drunke vp by two enemies , Snaky Detraction , and Obliuion , But at thy glorious presence both are gone . Thou being that sacred Phoenix , that doth rise , From th' ashes of the first ; Beames from thine eyes So vertually shining , that they bring To Englands new Arabia , a new spring : For Ioy whereof , Nymphes , Sences , Howres and Fame , Eccho-loud Hymnes to his Imperiall name .

At the end of this speech , a song ( to an excellent Musicke ) was deliuered , which being finisht , his Maiestie went on .

The Deuice called , Hortus Euporiae , Garden of Plentie .

THE fift Pegme was a sommer Arbor , and seemed to growe close to the little Conduit in Cheape , which ioyning to the backe of it , serued ( or might bee supposed to haue bene ) as a Fountaine to water the fruits of this Garden of Plenty .

This greene bower spread it selfe likewise ( as all the rest did ) ouer the whole breadth of the streete ; hauing two Gates arched and grated Arbor-wise , to the height of — feete , and breadth of — : the sides of which gates were borne vp with foure great French termes , standing vpon Pedestals , which conteined in their full height — foote . Betweene these open Passages were a paire of staires mounted , at the bottome of which ( on two pillers ) were fixed two Satyres , carued out in wood . Both the roofe and sides of these Gates , were Artificially hung with Pompions , Cowcumbers , Grapes , Cherries , Peares , Apples , and all other fruits , which the land bringeth foorth . The vpper part also ( which was closed with three round tops , Fortune standing on the midst of the three ) was garnished with lesser fruits , and with all sorts of Flowers , made by Art .

The whole Frame of this sommer house , stood ( at the Ground-line ) vppon — foote , the Perpendicular , stretching it selfe to — .

Peace and Plentie had the highest places in this Bower , and sate to gether : directly vnder them , sate two other persons , representing Gold and Siluer , supporting the Globe of the world betweene them : On each side of them sate two other persons , the one Pomona , Goddesse of Fruits , the other Ceres , Goddesse of Corne .

Vpon two large Descents ( a little belowe these ) were placed at one ende the nine Muses , at the other end the seuen liberall Sciences .

Syluanus , and his followers , ( who vpon sight of his Maiestie , played vpon Cornets ) gaue entertainement to his Maiestie , in these speeches following .

The speech .

MOST happie Prince , pardon me , that beeing meane in habite , and wild in appearance ( for my richest liuery is but leaues , and my stateliest dwelling but in the woods ) thus rudely with piping Syluanes , I presume to intercept your Royall passage . These are my walkes , yet stand I not here to cut off your way , but to giue it a full and a bounteous welcome , beeing a messenger sent from the Lady Eirene my mistresse ; those that sleepe vnder the warmth of her winges adore her by the Sacred aud Celestiall name of Peace ; her daughter Euporia ( well knowne by the name of Plenty ) is at this present with her , ( being indeed neuer from her side : ) Vnder yonder Arbor they sit , which after the daughters name is called Hortus Euporiae ( Plenties Bower . ) Chast are they both , and both maidens , in memory of a Virgine to whom they were Nurse-children , for whose sake ( because they were bound to her for their life ) me haue they charged to lay at your Imperiall feete , ( being your hereditary due ) the tribute of their loue . And with it thus to say . That they haue languished many heauy moneths for your presence , which to them would haue bene , ( and proud they are that it shall be now so ) of the same operation and influence , that the Sunne is to the Spring , and the Spring to the Earth ; hearing therefore what treble preferment you haue bestowed vpon this day , wherein besides the beames of a glorious Sunne , two other cleere and gracious Starres shine cheerefully on these her homely buildings ; Into which ( because no duty should be wanting ) she hath giuen leaue euen to Strangers , to be sharers in her happinesse , by suffering them to bid you likewise welcome : By me ( once hers , now your vassaile ) shee intreates , and with a knee sinking lower then the ground on which you treade , do I humbly execute her pleasure , that ere you passe further , you would deigne to walke into yonder Garden . The Hesperides liue not there , but the Muses , and the Muses no longer than vnder your protection . Thus farre am I sent to conduct you thither , prostrately begging this grace ( since I dare not , as being vnworthy , Lackey by your Royall side ) that yet these my greene Followers and my selfe may be Ioyfull forerunners of your expected approch . Away Syluans .

The Deuice called , Cozmoz Neoz , New World .

THE sixt Triumphall Arch , was ( in the shape which you see it caries on the other side ) erected aboue the Conduit in Fleetestreete ; extending it selfe ouer the whole streete , to the length of — foote , and in height — foote : The Gate of it was — foote wide , and — foote hie . The two Posternes were answerable to those of others set downe before : and were cut out of the two round Towers which riz vp in proportionable measures , from the ground on the foreside with battlements and Ballisters round enclosing the tops , containing in all their heights — foote : ouer the Gate , and iust in the midst of the Building , ( which was spacious and left open ) a Globe was seene to moue being fild with all the estates that are in the land ; And this Engine was turned about by foure persons , representing the foure Elements , ( Earth , Water , Aire , and Fire ) who were placed so queintly , that the Globe seemed to haue his motion euen on the Crownes of their heads .

The liuely garnishments to this Building were 23 persons , of which the principall and worthiest was Astraea ( Iustice ) who was aduanced to the highest Seate : Beneath her in a Cant by her selfe , Arete ( Vertue ) was placed : and at her feete Fortune , who trod vpon the Globe .

In a darke and obscure place ( neere Vertue ) sate Enuy : beneath whom , on seuerall Ascensions were placed the Cardinall Vertues , Iustice , Fortitude , Temperance and Prudence ; and in an opposite seate , the foure kingdomes , England , Scotland , France and Ireland .

Zeale was the Presenter of this Deuice , who spake thus .

ZEALE . THe populous Globe of this our English I le . Seemed to moue backward at the funerall pile Of her dead female Maiesty : All states From Nobles downe to Spirits of meaner Fates , Moou'd opposite to Nature and to Peace , As if these men had bene Th' antipodes . But see , the vertue of a regall eye , Th' attractiue wonder of mans Maiestie , Our Globe as drawne in a right line agen , And now appeare new faces and new men : The Elements , Earth , Water , Ayre and Fire , ( Which euer clipt a naturall desire , To combat each with other ) being at first Created enemies , to fight their worst , See : as the peacefull presence of their King , How quietly they moue without their Sting . Earth not deuouring : Fire not defacing , Water not drowning : and the Ayre not chasing : But propping the queint Fabricke that here stands , Without the violence of their wrathfull hands . Mirror of times , loe , where they Fortune sits Aboue the world , and all our humaine wits , But thy hie Vertue aboue that : what pen Or Art , or Braine , can reach thy Vertues then ? At whose Immortall brightnesse and true light , Enuies infectious eyes haue lost their sight : Her Snakes ( not daring to shoote forth their stings , Gainst such a glorious Obiect ) downe she flings Their forkes of Venome into her owne mawe , Whilst her ranke teeth the glittering poysons chawe , For t is the property of Enuies bloud , To dry away at euery Kingdomes good , Especially when she had eyes to view These foure Maine Vertues which here figure you , Iustice in causes : Fortitude gainst foes , Temp'rance in spleene ; and Prudence in all those : And then so rich an Empire , whose faire brest Containes foure Kingdomes by your entrance blest , By Brute diuided , but by you alone , All are againe vnited , and made One : Whose fruitfull glories shine so farre and euen , They touch not onely earth , but they kisse heauen , From whence Astraea is descended hither , Who with our last Queenes Spirit fled vp thither , Fore-knowing on the earth she could not rest , Till you had lockt her in your rightfull brest , And therefore all estates , whose proper Arts Liue by the breath of Maiestie , had harts , Burning in holy Zeales Immaculate sires , With quenchlesse Ardors and vnstain'd desires . To see what they now see , your powerfull Grace , Reflecting Ioyes on euery Subiects face . These painted flames and yellow-burning stripes , Vpon this roabe being but as shewes and types , Of that great Zeale ; And therefore in the name , Of this glad Citty , whither no Prince euer came , More lou'd , more longd for , lowly I intreate You 'ld be to her as gracious as y' are great : So with reuerberate shoutes our Globe shall ring , The Musicks cloze being thus , God saue our King .

The Deuice called , Templum Iani , Temple of Ianus .

THE seuenth and last Pegme ( within the Citie ) was erected at Temple-barre , beeing adioyned close to the Gate : The Building was in all points like a Temple , and dedicated to Ianus Quadrifrons .

Beneath that Foure-fac'd head of Ianus was aduancd the Armes of the Kingdome , with the Supporters cut out to the life : from whence being remoude they now are placed in the Guild Hall .

The wals and gates of this Temple were brasse ; the Pillars siluer , their Capitals and Bases gold : All the Frontispice ( downeward from those Armes ) was beutified and supported by twelue rich Columnes , of which the foure lowermost , being great Corinthian pillers , stood vpon two large Pedestals , with a faire Vaux ouer them in stead of Architriue , Frieze and Cornice : Aboue them , eight Columnes more , were likewise set , two and two vpon a large Pedestall ; for as our worke began ( for his Maiesties entrance ) with Rusticke , so did wee thinke it fit , that this out Temple , should end with the most famous Columne , whose beauty and goodlinesse is deriued both from the Tuscane , Doricke , Ionicke and Corinthian , and receiued his full perfection from Titus Vespasian , who aduanced it to the highest place of dignitie in his Arch Triumphall , and ( by reason that the beauties of it were a mixture taken from the rest ) he gaue it the name of Composita or Italica : within the Temple stood an Altar , with burning Incense vpon it , before which a Flamin appears , and to the Flamin comes the Genius of the City . The principall person in this Temple , was Peace . At her feete lay Warre groueling . At her right hand stood Wealth . On the same hand likewise , but somewhat remote , and in a Cant by her selfe , Quiet was seated , the first hand maide of Peace , whose feete stood vpon Tumult . On the left hand ( at the former distance ) Liberty the second hand-maide of Peace had her place , at whose feete Seruitude lay subiected . Beneath these ( on distinct degrees ) sate two other hand maides of Peace , Safety and Felicity , Safety trampling vpon Danger and Felicity vpon Vnhappinesse . Genius and Flamin spake thus much .

GEN. STay , what art thou , that in this strange attire , Darst kindle stranger , and vnhallowed fire Vpon this Altar ? FL. Rather what art thou That darst so rudely interrupt my vowe ? My habite speakes my name . GE. A Flamin ? FL. Yes , And Martialis cald . G●. I so did gesse By my short view , but whence didst thou ascend Hither ? or how ? or to what mysticke end ? FL. The noise , and present tumult of this Day , Rowsd me from sleepe , and silence , where I lay Obscur'd from light ; which when I wake to see , I wondring thought what this great pompe might be . When ( looking in my Kalender ) I found The Ides of Marche were entred , and I bound With these , to celebrate the Geniall feast Of Anna stil'd Perenna , Mars his guest ; Who , in this Month of his , is yearely cal'd To banquet at his Altars ; and instald , A Goddesse with him , since she files the Yeare , And knits the oblique scarse that gyrts the spheare . Whilest foure fac'd Ianus turnes his vernall looke Vpon their meeting howers , as if he tooke High pride and pleasure . GE. Sure thou still dost dreame . And both thy tongue , and thought rides on the streame Of Phantasie : Behold here Hee nor Shee , Haue any Altar , Fane , or Diety . Stoope ; read but this Inscription : and then view To whome the place is consecrate . T is trew That this is Ianus Temple , and that now He turnes vpon the Year his freshest browe ; That this is Mars his moneth ; and these the Ides , Wherein his Anne was honored ; Both the Tides , Titles , and Place , we knowe : But these dead rites Are long since buried , and new power excites More highe and hartie flames . Loe , there is he , Who brings with him a greater Anne then shee : Whose strong and potent vertues haue defac'd Sterne Mars his statues , and vpon them plac'd His , and the worlds blest blessings : This hath brought Sweete Peace to sit in that bright state she ought Vnbloudy , or vntroubled ; hath forc'd hence All tumults , feares , or other darke portents , That might inuade weake minds ; hath made men see Once more the face of welcome Liberty : And doth ( in all his present acts ) restore That first pure world , made of the better Ore . Now Innocence shall cease to be the spoile Of rauenous Greatnesse , or to sleepe the soile Of raised Pesantrie with teares , and bloud ; No more shall rich men ( for their little good ) Suspect to be made guiltie ; or vile Spies enioy the lust of their so murdering eyes : Men shall put off their Yron minds , and hearts ; The Time forget his olde malicious artes With this new minute ; and no print remaine Of what was thought the former ages staine . Backe Flamin , with thy superstitious fumes , And sense not heere ; Thy ignorance presumes Too much , in acting any Ethnick rite In this translated Temple : Heere no wight , To sacrifice saue my deuotion comes , That brings in steed of those thy Masculine gummes . My Cities heart , which shall for euer burne Vpon this Altar , and no Time shall turne The same to ashes : Heere I fixe it fast , Flame bright , flame high , and may it euer last . Whilest I , before the figure of thy Peace , Still tend the fire ; and giue it quicke increase With prayers , wishes , vowes ; whereof be these The least , and weakest : that no Age may leese The memory of this so rich a day ; But rather , that it henceforth yearely may Begin our spring , and with our spring the prime , And first account of Yeares , of Months , of Time : And may these Ides as fortunate appeare To thee , as they to Caesar fatall were . Be all thy Thoughts borne perfect , and thy Hopes In their euents still crownd beyond their scopes . Let not wide Heauen that secret blessing know To giue , which she on thee will not bestow : Blind Fortune be thy slaue ; and may her store ( The lesse thou seest it ) follow thee the more . Much more I would : but see , these brasen Gates Make hast to close , as vrged by thy Fates ; Here ends my Cities office , here it breakes : Yet with my tongue , and this pure heart , she speakes A short farewell ; and lower then thy feete , With feruent thankes , thy royall paines doth greete . Pardon , if my abruptnesse breed disease ; He merits not t' offend , that hasts to please .

Lectori Candido .

READER , The limmes of these great Triumphall bodies ( lately disioynted and taken in sunder ) I haue thou seest ( for thy sake ) set in their apt and right places againe : so that now they are to stand as perpetuall monuments , not to be shaken in peeces , or to be broken downe , by the malice of that enuious destroyer of all things , Time . Which labours of mine , if they yeeld thee either profit or pleasure , thou art ( in requitall thereof ) to pay many thankes to this honourable Citie , whose bounty towards me , not onely in making choise of me , to giue directions for the intire workmanship of the fiue Triumphall Arch's builded by the same , but also ( in publishing these Peeces , ) I do here gladly acknowledge to haue bene exceeding liberall .

Nor shall it be amisse in this place to giue thee intelligence of some matters ( by way of notes ) which were not fully obserude , nor freely inough set downe in the Printed Booke of these Triumphes : amongst which these that follow are chiefest .

His Maiestie departed from the Tower betweene the houres of 11. and 12 and before 5. had made his royall passage through the Citie , hauing a Canopie borne ouer him by 8. Knights .

The first Obiect that his Maiesties eye encountred ( after his entrance into London ) was part of the children of Christs Church Hospitall , to the number of 300. who were placed on a Scaffold , erected for that purpose in Barking Church-yard by the Tower .

The way from the Tower to Temple-Barre was not onely sufficiently grauelled , but all the streetes ( lying betweene those two places ) were on both sides ( where the breadth would permit ) raild in at the charges of the Citie , Paules Church-yard excepted .

The Liueries of the Companies ( hauing their Streamers , Ensignes , and Banerets spred on the tops of their railes before them ) reached from the middle of Marke Lane , to the Pegme at Temple Barre .

Two Marshals were chosen for the day , to cleere the passage both of them being well mounted , and attended on by sixe men ( suteably attirde ) to each Marshall .

The Conduits of Cornehill , of Cheape , and of Fleetestreete , that day ran Claret wine very plenteously : which ( by reason of so much excellent Musicke , that sounded foorth not onely from each seuerall Pegme , but also from diuerse other places ) ran the faster and more merrily downe into some bodies bellies .

As touching the Oration vttered by Sir Henry Mountague ( Recorder of the City ) with the gifts bestowed on the King , the Queene , and the Prince ( beeing three Cups of gold ) as also , all such songs , as were that day sung in the seuerall Arch's , I referre you to the Booke in print , where they are set downe at large .

And thus much you shall vnderstand , that no manner of person whatsoever , did disburse any part towards the charge of these fiue Triumphes , but onely the meere Citizens being all free-men ; heretofore the charge being borne by fifteenes and the Chamber of London ( as may appear by auncient presidents ) but now it was leauied amongst the Companies . The other two Arch's erected by Merchant-Strangers ( viz the Italians and Dutchmen ) were only their owne particular charge .

The Citty elected 16. Committies to whom the managing of the whole businesse was absolutely referred : of which number 4. were Aldermen , the other 12. Commoners , viz. one out of each of the 12. Companies . Other Committies were also appointed as ouer-seers and surueyors of the worke . Farewell .
