LONDONS
LOVE
,
TO
THE
ROYALL
PRINCE
HENRIE
,
meeting
him
on
the
Riuer
of
Thames
(
at
his
returne
from
Richmonde
)
with
a
worthie
Fleet
of
her
Cittizens
,
on
Tursday
the
last
of
May
.
1610.
&c.
IT
hath
euer
bin
the
nature
of
this
honorable
&
famous
Cittie
(
matchlesse
for
her
loue
and
loyaltie
in
all
ages
past
and
present
)
to
come
behinde
none
other
of
the
worlde
whatsoeuer
,
in
dutie
to
her
Soueraigne
,
and
care
,
not
only
of
common
good
,
but
also
of
vertuous
and
neuer-dying
credit
.
And
such
hath
alwayes
bin
the
indulgent
endeuour
of
her
worthie
Magistrates
,
from
time
to
time
,
that
they
would
neuer
let
slip
any
good
occasion
,
whereby
so
maine
&
especial
respect
might
be
duely
and
successiuely
preserued
.
And
so
much
the
rather
,
because
Plato
termeth
Magistracy
,
to
be
the
Anchor
,
Head
,
and
Soule
of
any
Citty
:
&
holdeth
it
for
the
same
thing
in
any
commonwealth
,
as
the
Heart
is
in
the
body
of
a
liuing
creature
,
or
as
Reason
in
the
Soule
:
which
being
the
chiefe
and
essentiall
parts
of
either
,
the
life
and
existence
of
the
whole
,
is
in
that
power
,
&
their
cheerful
motion
,
giues
courage
and
alacritie
to
all
the
other
partes
of
the
bodie
.
Whereof
no
better
exemplarie
rule
can
be
made
,
then
the
late
apparant
testimonie
of
Londons
Loue
to
Royall
Prince
Henrie
,
appointed
by
our
dread
Soueraigne
his
Father
,
to
be
created
Prince
of
Wales
,
and
Earle
of
Chester
,
euen
now
in
the
assembly
of
the
high
Court
of
Parliament
:
that
he
might
be
the
twelfte
Prince
in
that
Royall
creation
,
succeeding
those
eleuen
so
long
since
passed
.
For
our
Chronicles
and
Recordes
doe
name
but
eleuen
,
that
(
since
the
Conquest
)
were
Princes
of
Wales
.
Whereof
the
first
was
Edward
,
Sonne
to
King
Henrie
the
third
,
who
afterward
was
King
Edward
the
first
,
he
was
created
Prince
at
London
.
The
second
was
Edward
his
Sonne
,
called
also
afterward
King
Edward
the
second
,
and
he
had
his
creation
at
London
likewise
.
Thirdly
,
Edward
his
Sonne
being
after
that
King
Edward
the
third
:
but
he
had
his
creation
at
Yorke
.
Fourthly
,
Edward
,
surnamed
the
Blacke
Prince
,
who
was
Sonne
to
King
Edward
the
third
,
that
conquered
France
,
and
quartered
their
Armes
with
ours
:
he
also
was
created
at
London
.
The
fift
was
King
Richard
the
second
Sonne
to
that
worthie
warriour
the
Black
Prince
,
who
liued
not
to
enioy
the
Crowne
:
he
had
his
creation
at
Hauering
.
The
sixt
was
Henrie
the
fift
,
eldest
Sonne
to
King
Henrie
the
fourth
,
and
he
had
his
creation
at
London
.
The
seauenth
,
was
Edward
the
Sonne
of
King
Henrie
the
sixt
,
whose
creation
I
read
to
be
at
Reading
.
The
eight
was
Edward
,
the
Sonne
of
King
Edward
the
fourth
,
afterward
called
Edward
the
fift
,
neuer
crowned
,
but
made
away
by
his
cruell
vnckle
Richard
the
third
:
he
was
also
created
at
London
.
The
ninth
,
was
Edward
,
Sonne
to
King
Richard
the
third
,
created
at
London
also
,
.
The
tenth
was
Prince
Arthur
,
Sonne
to
King
Henrie
the
seauenth
,
who
deceassing
,
his
brother
Henrie
(
afterward
King
Henrie
the
eight
)
who
was
made
the
eleuenth
,
was
also
created
Prince
of
Wales
,
and
bothe
of
them
at
London
.
All
these
fore-named
Princes
of
Wales
,
were
created
sollemnely
,
by
and
in
the
Court
of
Parliament
;
except
three
,
which
were
Richard
the
second
,
Edward
the
fift
,
&
Edward
the
Sonne
of
Richard
the
third
.
And
those
that
were
created
out
of
Parliament
,
were
Princes
of
hard
and
disaster
fortune
:
For
Richard
the
second
was
deposed
:
Edward
the
fifte
murdered
,
and
Richard
the
third
,
his
Sonne
dyed
with
in
three
moneths
after
,
as
a
iust
iudgement
of
God
for
his
Fathers
wickednes
.
But
now
our
Royall
Henrie
comming
to
be
the
twelfth
Prince
in
this
great
dignitie
,
and
Londons
cheefe
Magistrate
the
Lord
Maior
,
with
his
worthie
Bretheren
the
Aldermen
,
hauing
very
shorte
and
sudden
intelligence
thereof
:
after
some
small
consultation
,
vnderstanding
that
the
Prince
was
to
come
from
Richmonde
,
by
water
;
they
determined
to
meete
him
in
such
good
manner
,
as
the
breuitie
of
time
would
then
permit
them
.
Wherfore
,
vpon
Thursday
,
being
the
last
day
of
May
,
about
eight
of
the
clocke
in
the
morning
,
all
the
worshipfull
Companies
of
the
Cittie
,
were
readie
in
their
Bardges
vpon
the
water
,
with
their
Streamers
and
Ensignes
gloriously
displayed
,
Drommes
,
Trumpets
,
Fifes
and
other
Musickes
attending
on
them
,
to
awaite
the
Lord
Maior
and
Aldermens
comming
.
No
sooner
had
his
Honor
and
the
rest
taken
Bardge
,
but
on
they
rowed
,
with
such
a
chearefull
noyse
of
Hermonie
,
and
so
goodlie
a
shewe
in
order
and
equipage
;
as
made
the
beholders
and
hearers
not
meanely
delighted
;
beside
a
peale
of
Ordenance
,
that
welcomde
them
as
they
entred
on
the
water
.
To
beautifie
so
sumptuous
a
shewe
,
and
to
grace
the
day
with
more
matter
of
Triumphe
,
it
seemd
that
Neptune
smyled
theron
auspitiouslie
,
and
would
not
suffer
so
famous
a
Citties
affection
,
to
goe
vnfurnished
of
some
fauour
from
him
:
especially
,
because
it
is
the
Metropolis
and
cheife
honor
of
the
Island
,
whereunto
him selfe
euer
bare
such
endeared
affection
.
For
,
according
to
the
affirmation
of
Annius
de
Viterbo
,
Diodorus
Siculus
,
Higginus
,
and
Pictonius
,
Neptune
being
called
King
,
or
God
of
the
Seas
,
had
by
his
Queene
Amphitrita
diuers
Children
,
2.
and
as
Bale
setteth
downe
,
each
one
of
them
he
made
King
of
a
seuerall
Island
.
Britayne
,
which
himselfe
tearmed
to
be
Insula
beata
,
he
bestowed
vpon
his
fourth
,
but
best
affected
sonne
Albion
,
who
subduing
the
Samotheans
,
became
sole
ruler
thereof
,
according
to
the
testimonie
of
Nicholaus
Perottus
,
Rigmanus
Philesius
,
Aristotle
,
and
Humphrey
Lloyd
,
and
after
his
owne
name
,
called
it
Albion
.
Now
it
is
not
without
good
reason
to
be
imagined
,
that
in
meere
loue
to
his
sonnes
memorie
,
and
for
his
auncient
affection
to
this
Island
;
no
blessednes
at
any
time
can
befall
it
,
but
it
shall
receiue
some
especiall
and
regardful
noate
of
his
fauour
.
But
more
especially
at
this
time
,
when
Heauen
,
Earth
,
Sea
,
and
all
had
enterlaced
loue
together
,
to
honor
the
generall
reioycing
,
for
so
fayre
a
fortune
,
so
royall
a
hope
,
and
a
Prince
of
so
vnusuall
straine
or
expectation
.
For
where
mortalles
doe
consent
together
and
sing
as
in
a
Quire
of
setled
ioy
;
the
supremer
powers
can
neuer
sit
as
ydle
spectatours
:
but
seeing
how
weaker
strength
expresseth
it selfe
;
they
,
in
great
bountie
,
must
needs
add
applause
vnto
it
,
and
out
of
their
riche
aboundance
,
enable
their
meaner
power
,
by
their
helpe
,
and
expresse
also
their
owne
lyking
thereof
,
by
some
familiar
addition
or
other
.
Wherfore
let
vs
thus
thinke
of
Neptune
,
that
out
of
his
spacious
watrie
wildernes
,
he
then
suddenly
sent
a
huge
Whale
and
a
Dolphin
,
and
by
the
power
of
his
commanding
Trident
,
had
seated
two
of
his
choycest
Trytons
on
them
,
altring
their
deformed
Sea-shapes
,
bestowing
on
them
the
borrowed
bodies
of
two
absolute
Actors
,
euen
the
verie
best
our
instant
time
can
yeeld
;
&
personating
in
them
,
the
seuerall
Genii
of
Corinea
,
the
beautifull
Queene
of
Cornewall
,
and
Amphion
the
Father
of
hermonie
or
Musick
.
In
these
two
well-seeming
and
richelye
appointed
persons
,
the
Dukedome
of
Cornewall
,
and
the
Principalitie
of
Wales
,
(
by
order
of
Neptunes
Prophet
,
or
Poet
,
call
him
whether
ye
will
)
caried
some
tipe
or
figure
,
and
not
improperly
to
them
so
applyed
.
For
such
representations
and
misticall
vnderstandings
,
haue
alwayes
bin
reputed
lawfull
,
and
are
euermore
allowed
to
holde
and
carrie
correspondencie
,
with
such
solemne
shewes
and
Triumphes
;
as
before
in
Elder
Antiquitie
,
so
likewise
in
Moderne
and
later
vse
.
Let
it
suffise
then
,
that
thus
was
this
goodly
Fleete
of
Cittizens
accompanied
,
and
vshered
the
way
so
farre
as
Chelseye
,
where
houering
on
the
water
vntill
the
Prince
came
:
all
pleasures
that
the
times
interim
could
afforde
,
were
plentifully
entercoursed
,
and
no
disorder
or
breache
of
arraye
in
the
whole
Nauie
.
Vpon
the
Princes
neere
approche
,
way
was
made
for
his
best
and
aptest
entertainement
,
which
by
multitude
of
Boates
and
Bardges
(
of
no
vse
,
but
only
for
desire
of
sight
)
was
much
impeached
for
a
while
,
Till
order
being
taken
for
the
contrarie
,
the
Princes
Bardge
accosted
the
Lord
Maiors
,
where
dutie
entertayning
on
the
one
side
,
&
Princely
Grace
most
affably
accepting
on
the
other
:
Corinea
mounted
on
her
Whale
,
presented
herselfe
in
this
manner
to
his
Highnesse
.
CORINEA
,
a
very
fayre
and
beautifull
Nimphe
,
representing
the
Genius
of
olde
Corineus
Queene
,
and
the
Prouince
of
Cornewall
,
suited
in
her
watrie
habit
yet
riche
and
costly
,
with
a
Coronet
of
Pearles
and
Cockle
shelles
on
her
head
,
saluteth
the
PRINCE
.
THE
SPEECHE
,
SPOKEN
BY
CORINEA
,
riding
on
a
Whale
.
GRacious
Prince
,
and
great
Duke
of
Cornewall
,
I
,
the
good
Angell
or
Genius
of
Corinea
,
Queene
to
Brutes
noble
Companion
Corineus
,
the
first
of
fayre
Britaynes
Regions
,
and
your
owne
worthie
Dukedome
;
in
honor
of
this
generall
reioycing
day
,
and
to
expresse
the
endeared
affections
of
Londons
Lord
Maior
,
his
Bretheren
the
Aldermen
,
and
all
these
worthie
Cittizens
,
Merchants
that
holde
Commerce
with
me
and
the
wide
worlde
,
in
our
very
best
and
richest
commodities
:
doe
thus
vsher
them
the
way
,
to
applaude
in
this
Triumphe
,
and
to
let
you
knowe
their
willing
readines
,
by
all
meanes
possible
to
loue
and
honor
you
.
The
shortnes
of
time
,
hath
bin
no
meane
bridle
to
their
zealous
forwardnes
,
which
(
else
)
would
haue
appeared
in
more
flowing
and
aboundant
manner
.
Neuerthelesse
,
out
of
this
little
limitation
,
let
me
humbly
entreate
you
to
accept
their
boundlesse
loue
,
which
is
like
to
Iaacobs
Ladder
,
reaching
from
Earth
to
Heauen
.
Whereon
,
their
hourelie
,
holie
and
deuoute
desires
(
like
to
so
many
blessed
Angelles
)
are
continually
ascending
and
descending
:
For
their
Royall
Soueraigne
your
Father
,
his
Queene
your
peerlesse
Mother
,
your
sacred
selfe
,
and
the
rest
of
their
illustrous
race
.
That
vnpolluted
soules
may
be
euer
about
yee
,
false
harts
or
foule
hands
neuer
to
come
neere
yee
;
but
the
Hoaste
of
Heauen
,
alwayes
to
defend
yee
.
Heere
could
I
wishe
for
such
a
copious
braine
,
and
liberall
plentie
of
Arte
,
as
might
suffise
to
declare
the
Royall
respect
and
affabilitie
of
the
Prince
,
not
only
to
my
Lord
Maior
and
his
Bretheren
,
but
to
all
the
Companies
in
generall
,
spreading
his
gracious
acceptaunce
of
their
loue
and
kindnes
,
like
to
the
large
extended
winges
of
Ioues
Birde
the
Eagle
,
euen
ouer
them
all
,
and
standing
in
the
dore
of
his
Bardge
,
he
suffered
no
occasion
to
passe
him
,
but
still
it
tooke
holde
of
his
grace
and
liking
.
And
thus
they
set
on
towards
White
Hall
,
in
so
soft
,
milde
and
gentle
a
pace
,
as
the
very
Thames
appeared
proude
of
this
gallant
burden
,
swelling
her
breast
to
beare
them
with
pompe
and
Majestie
:
and
not
one
wrinckle
appeared
in
her
brow
,
but
as
plaine
and
euen
,
as
the
smoothest
yuorie
.
Nor
durst
any
rude
storme
peepe
foorth
his
head
,
or
the
leaste
noyse
of
an
vngentle
winde
stirre
:
but
all
were
whist
and
still
,
as
forgetfull
of
those
vnciuill
offices
,
and
ouercome
with
admiration
of
the
dayes
delight
.
Beeing
come
neere
White
Hall
,
the
Bardges
(
according
to
their
qualitie
and
degree
in
order
&
dignitie
)
deuided
themselues
on
either
side
,
to
make
a
spacious
passage
for
the
Prince
and
his
traine
betweene
them
,
euen
vntill
they
came
neere
to
the
Courte
Bridge
,
the
Lord
Majors
Bardge
being
then
the
formoste
and
neerest
.
Now
the
Prince
being
readie
to
land
,
Amphion
on
his
Dolphin
saluteth
him
.
AMPION
,
a
graue
and
iudicious
Prophet-like
personage
,
attyred
in
his
apte
habits
,
euery
way
answerable
to
his
state
and
profession
,
with
his
wreathe
of
Sea-shelles
on
his
head
,
and
his
harpe
hanging
in
fayre
twine
before
him
:
personating
the
Genius
of
Wales
,
giueth
the
Prince
this
Farewell
.
THE
SPEECHE
,
OF
AMPHION
ON
a
Dolphin
.
ROyall
PRINCE
of
Wales
,
in
this
figure
of
Musicall
Amphion
vpon
his
Dolphin
,
we
personate
the
Carracter
of
Wales
your
Principalitie
.
Who
hauing
with
my
faire
Sister
Corinea
thus
farre
attended
you
,
on
behalfe
of
Londons
Lord
Major
,
his
worthie
Bretheren
,
and
this
goodly
Fleete
of
well
affected
Cittizens
;
we
are
all
now
forced
to
an
vnwilling
departure
.
See
how
our
Streamers
hang
the
head
,
as
lothe
to
leaue
you
:
Our
Bardges
lagge
and
seeme
lumpishe
,
as
greeuing
to
forgoe
you
:
Our
Trompets
and
other
Musicks
appeare
tongue-lesse
,
the
worde
of
farewell
is
so
offensiue
to
them
.
And
except
you
put
spirit
into
them
all
,
with
a
gracious
acceptaunce
of
this
their
loue
and
loyaltie
:
the
bosome
of
fayre
Thames
shrinkes
,
and
they
feare
swallowing
.
But
the
Sunne
of
true-borne
Majestie
shines
in
your
bright
eye
,
and
your
more
serious
affaires
calling
you
hence
,
speakes
bothe
your
loue
to
them
,
and
liking
of
their
humble
dutie
at
their
dismission
.
Home
againe
then
fayre
Fleete
,
you
haue
brought
a
Royall
freight
to
landing
,
such
a
burden
as
hath
made
the
Riuer
not
meanely
proude
to
beare
.
And
since
we
must
needs
parte
,
in
our
lowdest
voyce
of
Drommes
,
Trompets
and
Ordenaunce
,
be
this
our
last
accent
:
Long
liue
our
Prince
of
Wales
,
the
Royall
Henrie
.
At
which
very
instant
,
off
went
the
Chambers
,
and
such
a
triumphall
noyse
of
Drommes
and
Trompets
,
as
made
the
very
Ayre
to
Ecchoe
:
which
done
,
they
returned
back
to
London
agayne
,
wherwith
we
conclude
this
sollemne
dayes
Triumphe
.
Vpon
the
Sunday
following
,
fiue
and
twentie
Knights
of
the
Bathe
were
made
by
his
Maiestie
,
in
honor
of
the
Prince
his
Sonne
,
and
they
all
rode
in
their
apte
habits
,
with
their
Squires
and
Pages
,
from
Durham
house
to
White
Hall
,
to
their
no
little
praise
and
commendation
.
On
the
Monday
,
the
King
and
all
the
Nobilitie
,
going
by
water
from
the
Courte
to
Westminster
;
in
the
Courte
of
Requests
(
which
then
was
reputed
as
the
Parliament
house
)
the
Prince
had
his
creation
of
Prince
of
Wales
,
Duke
of
Rotchsaye
,
Earle
of
Chester
,
and
Knight
of
the
moste
noble
Order
of
the
Garter
,
with
all
the
due
ceremonies
and
vestures
therto
belonging
,
his
Maiestie
himselfe
girding
on
his
Sworde
.
Which
being
ended
they
returned
in
the
like
manner
to
the
Courte
againe
.
In
the
euening
of
the
same
day
,
it
was
expected
that
the
water
Fight
&
Fire
workes
should
haue
bin
perfourmed
,
no
meane
multitude
of
people
attending
to
see
it·
But
whether
by
the
violent
storme
of
rayne
,
or
other
appointment
of
his
maiestie
,
I
knowe
not
(
albeit
Protheus
mounted
on
a
Sea
Monster
,
had
deliuered
the
intent
of
the
deuise
to
his
Highnesse
)
yet
was
it
deferred
till
the
Wednesday
following
.
Vpon
which
day
,
after
a
moste
Royall
and
sumptuous
Tilting
,
the
water
fight
was
worthilie
perfourmed
,
and
by
such
reporte
as
was
thereof
made
to
me
,
thus
it
was
ordered
:
A
Turkishe
Pirate
prowling
on
the
Seas
,
to
maintaine
a
Turkishe
Castle
(
for
so
their
Armes
and
Streamers
described
them
both
to
be
)
by
his
spoyle
&
rapine
,
of
Merchants
,
and
other
Passengers
;
sculking
abroade
to
finde
a
bootie
:
he
descried
two
Merchants
Shippes
,
the
one
whereof
bearing
to
winde
somewhat
before
her
fellowe
,
made
the
Pirate
wafte
her
to
strike
sayle
and
come
in
,
which
the
Merchant
either
not
regarding
,
or
no
way
fearing
,
rode
still
boldely
on
.
The
Pirate
with
drawen
weapons
and
other
menaces
,
wafts
her
againe
to
vayle
her
bonnet
,
but
the
Merchant
still
refusing
:
the
Pirate
sends
a
commanding
shott
,
which
the
Merchant
answered
againe
,
encouraged
therto
by
her
fellowe
Merchant
,
who
by
this
time
was
come
neere
her
,
and
spake
in
like
language
with
her
to
the
Pirate
.
When
he
perceiued
his
hope
defeated
,
and
this
bolde
resistance
returned
;
he
sent
shot
vpon
shot
very
fiercely
,
wherto
they
replyed
as
resoluedly
:
so
that
betweene
them
grewe
a
verie
fierce
&
dangerous
fight
.
Wherein
the
Merchants
wexing
to
be
somewhat
distressed
(
by
reason
that
the
Castle
likewise
often
played
vpon
them
)
two
men
of
warre
happening
then
to
be
neere
,
made
in
to
helpe
and
releeue
their
hard
detriment
.
And
now
the
fighte
grewe
on
all
sides
to
be
fierce
indeed
,
the
Castle
assisting
the
Pirate
very
hotly
,
and
the
other
withstanding
brauely
and
couragiously
:
diuers
men
appearing
on
either
side
to
be
slayne
,
and
hurlled
ouer
into
the
Sea
,
as
in
such
aduentures
it
often
comes
to
passe
,
where
such
sharpe
assaultes
are
vsed
indeed
.
In
conclusion
,
the
Merchants
and
men
of
warre
,
after
a
long
and
well
fought
skirmish
,
prooued
too
strong
for
the
Pirate
,
they
spoylde
bothe
him
,
and
blewe
vp
the
Castle
,
ending
the
whole
batterie
with
verie
rare
and
admirable
Fire-workes
,
as
also
a
worthie
peale
of
Chambers
.
