King James his Royal and Magnificent Entertainment through his Honorable City of London

❧ The Pegme at Fen-church

PResented it selfe in a square and flat vpright , like to the side of a Citty : the top therof , aboue the Vent , and Crest , adorn'd with houses , towres , and steeples , set off in prospectiue . Vpon the Battlements in a great capitall Letters was inscribed , LONDINIVM : According to Tacitus : At Suetonius mira constantia , medios inter hosteis Londinium perrexit , Annal. lib. 14. cognomento quiàem Coloniae non insigne , sed copia Negotiatorum , & commeatu maxime celebre . Beneath that , in a lesse and different Character , was written CAMERA REGIA Which Title immediately after the Norman Conquest it beganne to haue ; Camd. Brit . 374. and by the indulgence of succeeding Princes , hath beene hitherto continued . In the Freeze ouer the gate , it seemeth to speake this verse : PAR DOMVS HAEC COELO , SED MINOR EST DOMINO . Taken out of Martiall , Lib. 8. Epig. 36 and implying , that though this Cittie ( for the state , and magnificence ) might ( by Hyporbole ) be saide to touch the starres , and reach vp to heauen , yet was it farre Inferior to the Maister thereof , who was his Maiestie ; and in that respect vnworthy to receiue him . The highest person aduaunc'd therein , was MONARCHIA BRITANNICA and fittely : applying to the aboue mentioned Title of the Citty , the Kings Chamber , and therefore heere placed as in the proper seate of the Empire : for , Brit. 367. so the glorie and light of our Kingdome M. Camden , speaking of London , saieth , shee is , totius Britanniae Epitome , Britannicíque imperii sedes , Regúmque Angliae Camera , tantum inter omneis eminet , quantum ( vt ait ille ) inter viburna Cupressus . Shee was a woman richly attir'd in cloth of golde and tissue ; a rich mantle ; ouer her state twoo Crownes hanging , with pensile shieldes thorow them ; the one lim'd with the particular Coate of England , the other of Scotland : on either side also a Crowne , with the like Scutchions , and peculiar Coats of France , & Ireland . In her hand she holdes a Scepter ; on her head a fillet of gold , inter-wouen with Palme & Lawrel ; her haire bound into foure seuerall points , descending from her Crownes ; & and in her lappe a little Globe , inscrib'd vpon ORBIS BRITANNICVS . And beneath , the word DIVISVS AB ORBE . To shew , that this Empire is a world diuided from the world , and alluding to that of* Clau . De mallij Theodor . cons. Panegyri . — Et nostro diducta Britannia mundo . And Virg — Et penitus toto diuisos orbe Britannos . Eclog. 1. The wreathe denotes Victory and Happines . The Scepter & Crowns soueraignty . The Shieldes the precedency of the Countries and their distinctions . At her feete was set THEOSOPHIA , or Diuine wisdome , al in white , a blew mantle seeded with Stars , a crowne of Stars on hir head . Hir garments figur'd Truth , Innocence and Cleerenesse . She was alwayes looking vp ; in her one hand shee sustained a Doue , in the other a Serpent : Matth. 10. 16. the last to shew her Subtilty , the first her Simplicity ; alluding to that text of Scripture , Prou. 8. 15. Estote ergo prudentes sicut serpentes , & simplices sicut columbae . Her word , PER ME REGES REGNANT .

Intimating , how by her , all Kings do gouerne , and that she is the foundation and strength of kingdomes , to which end , she was here placed , vpon a Cube , at the foote of the Monarchie , as her Base and stay . Antiqui Genium omnium gignendarum rerum existimarunt Deum : et vrbib . quam hominib . vel caeteris rebus natum . Lil. Gre. Gy. in Synt. deor 15. & Rosin . Antiq. Ro. lib. 2. cap. 14. Directly beneath her stoode GENIVS VRBIS .

A person attir'd rich , reuerend , and antique : his haire long and white , crowned with a wreathe of Plane tree , which is saide to be Arbor genialis ; his mantle of purple , and buskins of that colour : Hee held in one hand a Goblet , in the other a braunch full of little twigges , to signifie Increase and Indulgence : His word HIS ARMIS . pointing to the two that supported him , whereof the one on the right hand , was BOVLEVTES . Figuring the Councell of the Citty , Civica corona fit è fronde querna , quoniam cibus , victusque antiquissimus querceus capisolitus sit . Ros. libr. 10. cap. 27 . and was suted in blacke and purple ; a wreathe of* Oake vppon his head ; sustaining for his ensignes , on his left arme a scarlet roabe , and in his right hand the * * vascicull virgarum , intra quas obligata securis erat , sic , vt ferrum in summo fasce extaret , Ros. lib. 7. cap. 3. vbi notandum est , non debere precipitem , & solutam iram esse magistratus . Mora enim allata , & cunctatio , dum sensim virgae solvuntur , identidem consilium mutauit deplectendo . Quando autem vitia quaedam sunt corrigibilia , deplorata alia ; castigant virgae , quod revocari valet , immendabile secures praecidunt . Plut. Prob. Rom. 82. Fasces , as tokens of Magistracie , with this inscription ; SERVARE CIVES .

The other on the left hand . POLEMIVS

The warrelike force of the City , in an antique Coate , or Armour , with a Target and Sword ; his helme on , and crowned with Lawrell , implying Strength and Conquest : in his hand he bore the Standard of the Citty , with this word , EXTINGVERE ET HOSTEIS .

Expressing by those seuerall Motts , connexed , that with those Armes of Councell and Strength , the Genius was able to extinguish the Kings enemies , and preserue his Citizens , alluding to those verses in Seneca , Octa : Act: 2 Extinguere hostem , maxima est virtus Ducis . Servare Cives , maior est patriae , patri .

Vnderneath these , in an Aback thrust out before the rest lay TAMESIS .

The Riuer , as running along the side of the City ; in a skinne made like flesh , naked , and blew . His mantle of sea-greene or water colour , thinne , and bolne out like a sayle ; Bracelets about his wreasts , of willow and sedge , a crowne of sedge and reede vpon his head , mixt with water-lillies ; alluding to Virgills description of Tiber ; — Deus ipse loci , Aen. lib. 8. fluvie Tyberinus amoeno , Populeas inter senior se attolere frondes Visus . cum tenuis glauco velabat amictu Carbasus . & crineis vmbrosa tegebat Arundo .

His beard , and haire long , and ouergrowne . He leanes his arme vpon an earthen pot , out of which , water , with liue Fishes , are seene to runne forth , and play about him . His word , FLVMINA SENSERVNT IPSA . A Hemistich of Ouids : Amor . lib. 3. el. 5. The rest of the verse being , quid esset amor .

Affirming , that Riuers themselues , and such inanimate Creatures , haue heeretofore beene made sensible of Passions , and Affections ; and that hee , nowe , no lesse pertooke the ioy of his Maiesties gratefull approach to this Citty , than any of those persons , to whome he pointed , which were the daughters of the Genius , and sixe in number : who , in a spreading ascent , vpon seuerall grices , help to beautifie both the sides . The first , EVPHROSYNE , or Gladnes : was suted in greene , a mantle of diuers colors , embroydred with all varietie of floures : on her head a Gyrland of Myrtle , in her right hand a cristall Cruze filld with wine , in the left a Cup of golde : at her feete a Tymbrell , Harpe , and other Instruments , all ensignes of gladnesse , Hor. car . I . ode 27. Natis in vsum laetitiae scyphis , &c. And in another place , Nunc est bibendum , & Ode 37 nunc pede libero Pulsanda Tellus , &c. Her word . Stat. Syl. 4. Epu Domit.

HAEC AEVI MIHI PRIMA DIES .

As if this were the first houre of her life , and the minute wherein she beganne to be ; beholding so long coueted , and look'd for a presence . The second . SEBASIS . or Veneratio , was varied in an ashe colour'd sute , and darke mantle , a vayle ouer her head of ash-colour : her hands crost before her , and her eyes halfe closde : Her word : MIHI SEMPER DEVS . Virg. Ecl. I .

Implying both her office of reuerence , and the dignity of her obiect , who being as God on earth , should neuer be lesse in her thought : The third : PROTHYMIA . or Promptitude , was attir'd in a short tuckt garment of flame-colour , wings at her backe ; her hayre bright , & bound vp with ribands ; her breast open , virago-like ; hir buskins so ribanded : She was crowned with a Chaplet of Trifoly , to expresse readines , and opennesse euery way ; in her right hand shee held a squirrell , as being the creature most full of life and quicknesse : in the left a close round Censor , with the perfume sodainely to be vented forth at the sides . Her word : QVA DATA PORTA . Aene 1.

Taken from an other place in Virgill where Eolus at the command of Iuno lett s forth the winde ; Aene 1. — ac venti velut agmine facto Qua data porta ruunt , & terras turbine perflant .

And shew'd that shee was no lesse prepar'd with promptitude , and alacrity , then the windes were , vpon the least Gate that shall be opened to his high commaund . The fourth AGRYPNIA . or Vigilance , in yellow , a sable mantle , seeded with waking eies , and siluer fringe : her Chaplet of Heliotropium , or Turnsole ; in her one hand a Lampe , or Cresset , in her other a Bell. The Lampe signified search and sight , the Bell warning . The Heliotropium care ; and respecting her obiect . Her word SPECVLAMVR IN OMNEIS .

Alluding to that of Ouid , where he describes the office of Argus , — Ipse procul montis sublime cacumen Occupat , Met. 1. vnde sedens partes speculatur in omneis . and implying the like duety of care and vigilance in her selfe . The fifth AGAPE . Or louing Affection , in Crimson fringed with golde , a mantle of flame-colour , her Chaplet of red and white roses ; in her hand a flaming heart : The flame expressed zeale , the red and white roses , a mixture of Simplicity with Loue : her robes freshnes and feruency . De 4. Cons. Honor . Panegyri Her word , NON SIC EXCVBIAE . Out of Claudian , in following — Nec circumstantia peila — Quàm tutatur amor . Inferring , that though her Sister before had protested watchfulnes , & circumspection , yet no watch or guard could be so safe to the estate , or person of a Prince , as the loue and naturall affection of his Subiects : which she in the Citties behalfe promised . The sixt , OMOTHYMIA . Or Vnanimity in blew , her roabe blew , and buskins . A Chaplet of blew lillies , shewing one trueth and intirenesse of minde . In her lappe lies a sheafe of arrowes bound together , and she her selfe sittes weauing certaine small siluer twists . Her word , FIRMA CONSENSVS FACIT . Auxilia humilia firma , Pub. Syr. Mi. &c.

Intimating , that euen the smallest and weakest aydes , by consent , are made strong : herselfe personating the vnanimity , or consent of Soule , in all inhabitants of the Citty to his seruice .

¶ These are all the personages , or liue figures , whereof onely two were Speakers ( Genius and Tamesis ) the rest were Mutes . Other dumbe complements there were , as the Armes of the Kingdome on the one side , with this Inscription . HIS VIREAS . With these maist thou flourish .

On the other side the Armes of the City , with HIS VINCAS . With these maist thou conquer .

In the centre , or midst of the Pegme , there was an Aback , or Square , wherein this Elogie was written . Maximus hic Rex est , & lucc serenior ipsa Principe quae talem cernit in vrbe Ducem ; Cuius Fortunam superat sic vnica Virtus , Vnus vt is reliquos vincit vtrâque viros . Praeceptis alii populos , multâque fatigant Lege ; sed exemplo nos rapit ille suo . Cuique frui totâ fas est vxore marito , Et sua fas simili pignora nosse patri . Ecce vbi pignoribus circumstipata coruscis It comes , & tanto vix minor ANNA viro . Haud metus est , Regem posthac ne proximus Hares , Neu Successorem non amet ille suum .

This , and the whole frame , was couered with a curtaine of silke , painted like a thicke cloude , and at the approach of the K. was instantly to bee drawne . The Allegory being , that those cloudes were gathered vpon the face of the Citty , through their long want of his most wished fight : but now , as at the rising of the Sunne , all mistes were dispersed and fled . When sodainely vpon silence made to the Musikes , a voyce was heard to vtter this verse ; Totus adest oculis , Clau. de laud. Stil . lib. 3. aderat qui mentibus olim ,

Signifying that hee now was really obiected to their eyes , who before had beene only , but still , present in their mindes .

¶ Thus farre the complementall parte of the first ; wherein was not only labored the expression of State and Magnificence ( as proper to a triumphall Arch ) but the very Site , Fabricke , Strength , Policie , Dignitie and Affections of the Cittie were all laide downe to life : The nature , and propertie of these Deuises being , to present alwaies some one entire body , or figure , consisting of distinct members and eache of those expressing it selfe , in the owne actiue spheare , yet all , with that generall harmony so connexed , and disposed , as no one little parte can be missing to the illustration of the whole : where also is to be noted , that the Symboles vsed , are not , neither ought to be simply Hierogliphickes , Emblemes , or Imprese , but a mixed Character , pertaking somwhat of all , and peculierly apted to these more magnificent Inuentions : wherein the Garments , and Ensignes deliuer the nature of the person , and the Word the present office . Neither was it becomming , or could it stand with the dignity of these shewes ( after the most miserable & desperate shift of the Puppits ) to require a Truch-man , or ( with the ignorant Painter ) one to write . This is a Dog ; or , This is a Hare : but so to be presented , as vpon the view they might without cloude , or obscurity declare themselves to the sharpe and learned : And for the multitude , no doubt but their grounded iudgements gazed , said it was fine , and were satisfied .

The speeches of Gratulation . GENIVS . TIme , Fate , and Fortune have at length conspir'd , To giue our Age the day so much desir'd . What all the minutes , houres , weekes , months , and yeares , That hang in file vpon these siluer haires , Could not produce , beneath the a a As being the first , free , and naturall gouernement of this Iland , after it came to ciuilitie .

Cleaue all the ayre 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 bee . When b b

Rather then the Citie shuld want a Founder , we choose to folowe the receiu'd story of Brute , whether fabulous , or true , and not altogether vnwarrāted in Poetrie : since it is a fauor of Antiquity to few cities , to let them know their first Authors . Besides , a learned Poet of our time , in a most elegāt work of his Con. Tam. & ISIS , celebrating London hath this verse of her :

Aemula maternae tollens sua lumina Troiae . Here is also an antient rite alluded to in the building of Citties , which was to giue them their boundes with a plough , according to Vir. Aen. li. 10. Interea Aeneas vrbem designat Aratro . And Isidore li. 15. cap. 2. Vrbs vocata ab orbe , quod antiquae ciuitates in orbem fiebant ; vel ab vrbe parte aratri , quo muri designabantur , vnde est illud . Optauitque locum regno & concludere sulco .

THE OTHER AT TEMPLE BARRE .

CArried the frontispice of a Temple , the Wals of which and Gates were Brasse ; the Pillers Siluer , their Capitals and Bases Golde : in the highest point of all was erected a Ianus head , and ouer it written .

IANO QVADRIFRONTI SACRVM .

Which title of Quadrifrons is said to be giuen him , Bassus apud Macro . lib. 1. Satur. ca. 9. as he respecteth all Climates , and filles all parts of the world with his Maiestie ; which Martiall would seeme to allude vnto in that Hendicasillable , li. 8. Epi. 2. Et linguâ pariter locutus omni . Others haue thought it by reason of the foure Elements , which brake out of him , being Chaos : for Ouid is not afraide to make Chaos and Ianus the same , in those verses Me Chaos antiqui ( nam sum res prisca ) vocabant : Fast. lib. I. Adspice , &c. &c. PLVTVS . or Wealth , So Cephisiodotus hath fained him See Paus. in Boeoti . & Phil. in Imag. contrarie to Aristop. Theogn . Lucian and others , that make him blinde and deformed . a little boy , bare headed , his locks curled , and spangled with golde , of a fresh aspect , his body almost naked , sauing some rich robe cast ouer him ; in his armes a heape of gold Ingots to expresse riches , whereof he is the God : Beneath her feete lay ENYALIVS . or Mars , Groueling , his armour scattered vpon him in seuerall peeces , and sundrie sortes of weapons broken about him , her word to all was VNA TRIVMPHIS IN NVMERIS POTIOR . pax optima rerum Quas homini nouisse datum est , Sil . Ital . pax vna Triumphis Innumeris potior . signifieng that peace alone was better , and more to be coueted then innumerable Tryumphes , besides , vpon the right hand of her , but with some little descent , in a Hemicycle was seated ESYCHIA . or Quiet , the first handmaid of peace ; A woman of a graue and venerable aspect , attired in black , vpon her head an artificiall nest , out of which appeared Storkes heads to manifest a sweete repose . Her feete were placed vpon a Cube , to shewe stability , and in her lappe shee held a Perpendicular or leuell , as the ensigne of Euennesse and Rest ; on the top of it sate a Halcion or Kings-fisher . She had lying at her feete TARACHE . or Tumult , in a garment of diuers , but darke coulers , her haire wilde , and disordered , a fowle and troubled face , about her laye staues , swordes , ropes , chaines , hammers , stones , and such like to expresse Turmoile . The word was PERAGIT TRANQVILLA POTESTAS . De Malii Theo. cons . Panegy . Claud Quod violent a nequit : mandat aque fortius vrget Imperiosa quies . To shewe the benefits of a calme and facile power , being able to effect in a state that , which no violence can . On the other , side the second hand-maide , was ELEVTHERIA . or Libertie , her dressing white , & som-what antique but loose and free ; her haire flowing downe her backe , and shoulders : In her right hand shee bare a Club , on her left a Hat , the Characters of freedom , and power : At her feete a Catt was placed , the creature most affecting , and expressing libertie . She trode on Rauen , as the Augury of ill fortune : & the Soule was REDEVNT SATVRNIA REGNA . Out of Virgil , Eclog. 4. to shewe that nowe those golden times were returned againe , wherein Peace was with vs so aduaunced , Rest receaued , Libertie restored , Safetie assured , and all Blessednesse appearing in euery of these vertues her perticular Triumphe ouer her opposite euill . This is the dumbe argument of the frame , and illustrated with this verse of Virgil , written in the vnder freeze . Aeneid . lib. 11. NVLLA SALVS BELLO PACEM TE POSSIMVS OMNES . The speaking parte was performed , as within the Temple where there was erected an Altar , to which at the approach of the K. appeares the Flamen * * One of the three Flamines that as some think Numa Pompilius first instituted , but we rather with Varro take him of Romulus institution , whereof there were onely two , Hee , and Dialis : to whom he was next in dignity . He was alwaies created out of the Nobilitie , & did performe the rites to Mars , who was thought the Father of Romulus . MARTIALIS . And to him . GENIVS VRBIS . The Genius we attired before : To the Flamen wee appoint this habit . A long Crimson robe to witnesse his nobility , his typpet and sleeues white as reflecting on purity in his religion , a rich mantle of gold with a traine to expresse the dignity of his function . Vpon his head a c c Scaliger in coniect. in Varr: saith Totus Pileus , vel potiùs velamenta , Flammcum dicebatur . vnde Flamines dicti . Hat of delicate wooll , whose top ended in a Cone , and was thence called Apex , according to that of Lucan . lib. 1. Attollensque Apicem generoso vertice Flamen . This Apex was couered with a d d To this lookes that other coniecture of Varro . lib. 4. de lingua Latina Flamines , quòd licio in Capite velati erant semper , ac caput cinctum habebant filo , Flamines dicti fine net of yearne which they named Apiculum , & was sustained with a e e Which in their attire was called Stroppus , in their wiues Inarculum . bowd twigge of Pomgranat tree , it was also in the hot time of Summer to be bound with Ribands , and throwne behinde them as f f Scal. Ibid : in con. Pone enim regerebant apicem , ne grauis esset summis aestatis caloribus . Amentis enim , quae offendices dicebantur sub mentum adductis , religabant ; vt cum vellent , regererent , & pone pendere permitterent . Scaliger teacheth . In his hand hee bore a golden Censor with perfume , and censing about the Altar ( hauing first kindled his fier on the toppe ) is interrupted by the Genius .

GENIVS . 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 habit speakes my name . GE. A Flamin ? FL. Yes , And a a Of Mars , whose rites ( as wee haue toucht before ) this Flamen did specially celebrate . Martialis calld . GE. I so did gesse By my short view , but whence didst thou ascend Hither ? or how ? or to what mistick 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 wakt to see , I wondring thought what this great pompe might be . When ( looking in my Kalender ) I found The b b With vs the 15. of March , which was the present day of this Triumph ; and on which the great feast of Anna Perenna ( among the Romans ) was yearly and with such solemnitie remembred . Oui. Fast. 3. Idibus est Annae festum geniale Perennae , Haud procul a ripis , &c. Ides of Marche were entred , and I bound With these , to celebrate the Geniall feast Of c c Who this Anna should be ( with the Romanes themselues ) hath beene no trifling controuersie . Some haue thought her fabulously the sister of Dido , some a Nimphe of Numicius ; some Io ; some Themis . Others an olde woman of Bouillae , that fed the seditious multitude , in Monte sacro , with Wafers , and fine Cakes , in time of their penurie : so whom , afterward ( in memory of the benefit ) their peace being made with the Nobles , they ordaind this feast .

THus hath both Court-Towne-and Countrey-Reader , our portion of deuise for the Cittie ; neither are we ashamed to professe it , being assured well of the difference betweene it and Pageantry . If the Mechanick part yet standing , giue it any distaste in the wrye mouthes of the Time , we pardon them ; for their owne ambitious ignorance doth punish them inough . From hence we will turne ouer a new leafe with you , and lead you to the Pegme in the Strand , a worke thought on , begun , and perfected in twelue dayes .

THe Inuention was a Raine-bow , the Moone , Sunne , and those seauen Starres , which antiquitie hath stil'd the Pleiades , or Vergiliae , aduanced betweene two Magnificent Pyramid's of 70. foote in height , on which were drawne his Maiesties seuerall pedigrees Eng. and Scot . To which body ( being framd before ) we were to apt our soule . And finding that one of these seauen lights , Electra , is rarely or not at all to be seene , ( as Ouid. lib. 4. Fast . affirmeth . Pleiades incipient humeros releuare paternos : Quae septem dici , sex tamen esse solent . And by and by after , Siue quòd Electra Troiae spectare ruinas Non tulit : aute oculos opposuitque manum . And Festus Auien. Paraph. in Arat Phaenom . Fama vetus septem memor at genitore creatas Longaeuo : sex se rutila inter sidera tantùm Sustollunt , &c. And beneath — cerni sex solas carmine Mynthes Asserit : Electram coelo abscessisse profundo , &c. ) We ventred to follow this authoritie ; and made her the speaker : presenting her hanging in the ayre , in figure of a Comet ; according to Anonymus . Electra non sustinens videre casum pronepotum sugerit ; vnde & illam disso lutis crinibus propter luctum ire asserunt , et propter comas quidam Cometen appellant .

Whose so faire And wholsome Lawes , in euery Court , shall striue By Aequity , and their first Innocence to thriue ; The base and guiltie bribes of guiltier men Shall be throwne back , and Iustice looke , as when She lou'd the earth , and feard not to be sold For that , m m Hor.

Hec Ille in publicum , interiore gaudio sibi illum natum , seque in conasci inter pretatus est . Et si verum fatemur , salutare id terris fuit . did auspicate So lasting glory to Augustus state .

Textual Notes

The textual notes below aim at making textual corrections readable in their immediate context and facilitating access to the source text. A five-digit number preceded by 'A' or 'B' represents an EEBO-TCP filenumber. A notation like "6-b-2890" means "look for EEBO page image 6 of that text, word 289 on the right side of the double-page image." That reference is followed by the corrupt reading. A black dot stands for an unidentified letter, a black square for an unidentified punctuation mark, a diamond for a missing word, and the ellipsis for a short span of undefined length. The corrected reading is displayed as a keyword in context.
