At

met
vs
another
ancient
graue
Gentle-man
called
Rauen
von
Aina
luxen
a
dweller
in
those
parts
,
and
who
came
with
no
message
,
but
was
sent
to
bring
my
Lorde
to
a
castle
of
the
Princes
called
Zappenburch
.
This
Castle
is
seated
out
of
common
passage
,
built
vpon
a
hill
,
in
a
greate
forrest
,
whither
by
a
craggie
and
vnbeaten
way
we
came
late
by
mooneshine
.
My
Lord
Embassador
,
was
receiued
with
all
honor
and
expectation
who
through
the
souldiers
ranked
on
both
sids
(
as
they
be
very
cerimonious
)
went
in
with
his
Coaches
to
the
inner
Court
,
where
he
alighted
,
Master
Mezenburgh
Steward
of
the
Princes
house
,
&
before
sent
Embassador
into
England
,
with
a
troupe
of
gentlemen
of
the
Landgraues
,
met
him
at
the
staire
foote
,
caried
him
vp
by
torchlight
to
his

&
in
the
greate
Chamber
,
made
a
long
saluting
,
welcomming
,
excusing
,
reioycing
,
and
thankfull
oration
in
the
Princes
behalfe
,
which
in
few
words
was
fully
answered
,
and
so
we
went
to
supper
.
The
Princes
Officers
and
gentlemen
were
appointed
to
waite
,
onlie
Master
Mezenburgh
sat
with
my
Lord
&
his
companie
to
gouerne
the
table
.
His
Lordshippe
was
serued
with
three
courses
after
our
fashion
very
pletifully
&
so
were
all
his
seruants
to
the
meanest
,
with
distinction
of
diet
&
great
regard
was
had
.
And
this
action
was
in
all
things
as
honorably
,
as
wisely
,
orderlie
and
exactly
well
performed
,
as
was
possible
,
for
what
the
country
did
aford
his
Lordship
had
,
or
they
could
deuise
by
art
,
and
order
discreetlie
was
donne
to
honour
him
,
insomuch
that
his
entertainement
as
honorably
as
passed
measure
,
as
his
bountie
wisely
kept
proportion
.
Heere
his
Lordship
staied
three
daies
,
which
was
so
apointted
for
his
better
disposition
&
refreshing
,
the
first
day
he
rested
,
&
the
second
was
the
day
of
rest
,
&
a
latine
sermon
was
made

:
in
the
morning
vppon
Monday
the
weather
brake
vp
,
and
for
after
dinner
a
hunting
was
appointed
.
From
the
Castle
we
passed
a
league
downe
the
forrest
,
into
an
open
vallie
,
where
the
length
of
halfe
an
english
mile
,
the
Toyles
were
sette
vp
on
both
sides
to
keepe
in
the
game
:
the
pleasure
of
the
place
,
was
as
much
as
the
sport
,
for
we
were
in
sight
of
diuers
Towns
&
villages
,
as
Quiddelburge
,
Rottam
,
Kellam
,
&c.
&
from
the
hil
Schoneberg
(
a
faire
hil
)
out
of
the
wood
,
fell
the
game
downe
into
the
vallie
,
where
in
the
middest
,
was
a
greene
tent
of
cloth
,
set
vp
for
my
Lord
Embassador
with
a
rewe
of
bowes
,
to
shaddowe
the
companie
,
hide
their
dogges
and
losen
them
at
the
deere
as
they
passed
by
,
the
country
was
vp
on
both
sides
of
toyles
vpon
waggens
,
with
their
broade
bore
speares
and
doggs
:
in
halfe
an
howre
,
six
stags
&
two
wild
swine
,
which
were
the
more
spared
for
being
out
of
season
,
were
cruelly
murdered
&
so
the
slaughter
ceased
&
master
Mezēburgh
taking
his
leaue
went
to
prouide
,
at
Cassel
.
Thus
loue
&
bounty
still
went
before
vs

We

vpon

so

and
wherein

His

were
fiue
rowmes

which
tooke
vp

of
his

,
being
a

betweene

two
,
his

chamber
,
for
his
more
priuate

quiet
being
.
His
Lord
.
owne
dining
chamber
was
a
very
curious
roome
,
made
no
doubt
of
purpose
,
to
entertaine
strange
Princes
,
all
of
marble
,
the
doores
,
the
flower
,
the
sides
,
windowes
,
roofe
,
and
all
things
pertinent
being
of
carued
gray
marble
,
and
for
the
rarenesse
,
I
will
more
particularly
describe
it
.
The
doores
are
bordered
about
with
timber
to
keepe
the
stone
together
,
and
comming
in
,
the
flower
euen
and
smoothly
paued
,
the
chamber
iust
square
,
the
sides
made
like
a
wentscot
,
with
crestings
,
indentments
,
and
Italian
piller
woorke
,
and
heereby
deuided
into
27
panes
of
carued
Imagerie
,
to
the
halfe
proportion
of
a
man
,
bearing
vpon
their
shoulder
points
,
escouchons
with
the
blasoned
armes
of
his
signories
,
the
electors
count
of
Palatine
Duke
of
Saxonie
,
Mararquish
of
Brandenburgh
,
and
other
houses
of
his
friends
and
allies
of
the
protestant
part
,
ouer
these
an
other
course
of
indented
doors
and
carued
hollow
woorkes
distinct
with
pillers
,
and
in
this
compasse
next
the
roofe
,
on
the
fower
sides
fower
stories
carued
,
of
the
creation
,
the
passion
,
the
resurrection
,
and
iudgement
verie
cunningly
done
,
in
length
about
two
yardes
,
compassed
in
with
a
frame
of
marble
,
as
though
they
hung
loose
,
the
roofe
is
wrought
with
knot
worke
,
and
thus
to
see
to
being
in
the
chamber
nothing
but
marble
,
whereof
he
hath
the
mine
in
his
country
,
the
trouble
of
his
rowme
is
great
in
winter
when
to
keepe
the
stone
from
cracking
and
loosening
,
the
stone
is
continually
kept
hotte
.
The
next
rowme
to
this
was
a
faire
square
chamber
hung
with
tapestery
,
where
the
gentlemen
dined
,
for
commonly
at
the
marble
table
,
where
the
Dukes
of

or
the
Granes

Sir
Richard
Fines
,
Master
Brakenburie
,
and
others
as
it
pleased
his
Lo.
to
appoint
.
The
third

a

chamber
,
seated
round

and
couered
with

hung

wrought
tapesterie
of
an

broade
,
of
Embleme
worke
,
and
verses
written
vnderneath
,
ouer
this
vpon
a
ledge
of
wentscot
were
diuers
large
tables
of
sundrie
deuises
well
painted
with
their
posies
to
garnish
the
chamber
,
and
among
al
,
that
was
the
best
which
had
this
Motto
(
Maior
autem
horum
est
charitas
,
for
it
waxed
cold
.
The
roofe
was
likewise
flourished
with
painting
&
deuises
,
these
rowmes
had
the
through
light
of
fower
faire
windowes
,
and
in
this
chamber
were
two
square
tables
,
one
richlie
couered
with
a
carpet
of
cloath
of
gold
,
and
the
seate
laide
rounde
with
fower
long

of
the

which
was
extraordinarelie
couered

and
euening
for
breakefast

banquet
,
two

the
Princes
groomes
appointed
alwaies
to
be
heere
and
waite
,
and
heere
they
sat
somtimes
in
conference
and
counsell
.
Next
to
this
was
my
Lords
bedchamber
,
with
two
fair
damaske
field
beds
,
prepared
for
my
Lorde
and
master
Edwarde
Clinton
his

,
the
pariture
of
this
rowme
,
was
a
painted
tree
that
grewe
vp
at
the
doore
,
the
bodie
bulking
out
very
naturally
of
stone
painted
barkelike
,
and
the
braunches
spreading
all
ouer
the
seeling
of
the
chamber
,
full
of
fruite
,
and
hanged
downe
vpon
the
walles
,
with
other

vp
emptie
places
.

Beyond

And

of
exercise
and
pastimes
,
to
honour
the
Prince
and
Ladies
,
so
they
shoulde
be
ready
indeed
vpon
iust
occasion
to
shewe
their
manhoode
in
the
defence
of
them
both
and
of
their
countrie
,
after
they
receiued
some
reward
,
and
with
a
cranse
with
their
Ladies
gaue
daunses
with
them
,
when
these
honours
were
donne
the
well
deseruers
this
day
,
the
triumphs
for
the
next
day
were
published
,
but
to
auoide
satietie
they
were
discreetely
referred
to
the
day
after
,
a
day
of
pause
was
put
in
betweene
both
,
wherein
they
mett
in
councell
.
Thus
entergreabley
the
time
was
passed
and
vpon
Saterday
the
twentie
seauen
of
August
the
principall
deuise
and
triumph
was
performed
.
There
came
in
the
morning
an
Embassadoure
from
the
countie
Palatine
,
Dereon
Sehenberg
who
came
to
inuite
the
Landgraue
to
be
godfather
to
the
Paltzgraue
sonne
and
heire
,
there
came
in
the
afternoone
in
the
middest
of
their
sportes
the
Paltzgraue
of
Zueienburch
with
his
Ladie
and
his
little
sonne
but
their
comming
was
,
onelie
to
see
the
Lord
Embassadour
.
Without
the
towne
there
was
a
castell
:
builte
,
and
the
water
drawne
from
the
riuer
to
moate
it
about
so
broade
that
it
bore
a
boate
to
and
fro
,
the
place
for
standings
and
perfourming
of
this
sporte
was
railed
in
and
made
conuenient
,
and
the
substance
of
the
matter
was
,
of
an
enchaunter
that
had
forsooth
dwelte
there
long
,
and
by
two
or
three
giants
in
his
castell
taken
diuers
prisoners
Knightes
and
Ladies
,
and
by
his
doings
much
endammaged
his
countrie
,
wherevpon
the
Knightes
of
Hessen
put
them selues
in
armes
and
apointed
a
day
for
the
incountering
of
the
giants
and
the
rasing
of
the
castell
,
and
the
giuing
libertie
to
a
faire
Ladie
that
was
prisoner
there
,
nowe
for
their
defence
they
kept
open
tent
and
hunge
out
the
Flagge
of
defiance
to
all
knights
that
passed
,
who
if
disposed
might
by
the
sounding
of
a
horne
first
come
in
,
and
trie
their
valours
and
their
fortunes
,
for
by
both
these
this
Ladie
was
to
be
deliuered
,
and
not
otherwise
,
for
triall
of
their
dexteritie
and
valour
there
were
fower
thinges
to
doe
,
first
to
runne
at
the
Quintin
.
Next
the
turney
.
Then
the
tilte
without
a
pale
:
and
last
the
sword
and
target
wherein
if
the
knight
were
at
any
ouercome
he
was
prisoner
,
and
for
their
triall
there
were
Iudges
,
if
he
went
through
,
yet
had
he
a
pointe
of
destinie
to
proue
,
whether
it
were
his
fate
forsoth
to
drawe
the
enchaunted
sworde
out
of
a
piller
that
stoode
by
the
castell
.
The
Knights
of
Hesse
came
at
their
daie
appointed
,
not
to
make
deuises
but
to
shewe
their
manhood
,
they
were
many
and
verie
gallantlie
armed
and
kepte
in
such
order
as
(
which
graced
the
triumpth
)
there
was
alwaies
a
continued
sporte
,
without
intermission
or
losse
of
time
and
three
or
fower
actions
to
be
sene
at
once
.
The
places
were
deuided
with
railes
and
as
one
thing
was
donne
,
there
were
wilde
fellowes
that
losened
the
chiane
of
the
outer
gate
and
let
them
by
degrees
vnto
the
but
castel
,
the
fats
had
apointed
it
for
the
Dukes
of
Luneburgh
who
drewe
out
the
sworde
,
deliuered
the
Ladie
,
and
brought
out
a
straunge
vgly
companie
from
the
castell
which
being
gone
the
fire
workes
began
for
straungenesse
and
admirable
deuice
exceeding
all
the
rest
,
some
for
mounting
,
some
burnning
in
the
water
,
som
for
their
straunge
tearing
of
the
aire
vpright
,
some
turning
heere
and
there
after
an
hundred
fashions
,
brustinge
out
into
such
noyses
and
spectacles
,
as
though
heauen
and
earth
had
gone
together
.
These
and
the
rest
were
surely
princely
vanities
,
but
betwixt
iest
and
earnest
there
were
two
coronets
of
horsemen
set
to
keepe
the
feelde
,
while
these
things
were
a
doing
,
for
it
was
late
and
night
before
they
ended
.
Thus
full
of
entertainment
it
was
time
for
my
Lord
(
as
he
did
wiselie
)
to
speake
of
parting
&
not
to
put
this
royally
minded
Prince
to
too
great
trouble
,
who
was
within
fewe
daies
to
goe
to
Amberg
and
to
meete
the
Paltzgrane
.
There
shoulde
haue
been
a
daunse
this
night
as
before
,
but
being
late
it
was
performed
in
like
manner
as
I
tolde
the
next
day
being
Sunday
when
the
Prince
,
my
Lord
,
the
other
Embassador
,
the
Paltzgraue
of
Zueinburch
,
and
his
Ladie
dined
together
in
the
Landgraues
great
chamber
after
a
priuate
&
domestical
manner
,
for
by
this
time
the
extraordinarie
company
was
retired
,
the
Landgraue
supped
with
him
in
the
Marble
chamber
wher
he
told
him
as
it
was
giuen
out
before
,
that
the
next
day
morning
he
ment
to
ride
abroade
a
hunting
with
his
Lordshidpe
.
Before
they
set
out
the
Landgraue
rode
with
him
about
his
fortresse
,
shewed
him
the
secret
places
of
it
,
with
his
armorie
appointing
dinner
to
be
serued
in
the
garden
at
the
banquettinge
house
,
after
in
a
barge
we
crossed
the
water
,
where
were
coches
ready
and
the
Prince
went
that
night
tewo
leagues
to
Milsungen
,
wher
he
reioyced
and
was
exceeding
merrie
full
of
state
and
grace
in
speach
and
beheauiour
,
his
answere
vnto
my
Lord
I
noted
who
saying
to
him
vpon
occasion
that
the
Prince
of
Hessen
was
not
there
and
therefore
woulde
he
be
the
bolder
.
No
my
Lord
quoth
the
Landgraue
(
in
english
)
the
prince
of
Hessen
is
not
heere
but
the
greate
Hunts-master
.
The
next
day
he
caried
vs
to
his
towne
of
Rotenberg
which
is
so
called
of
the
red
moulde
of
the
hils
yet
betwene
them
runs
a
verie
rich
vale
where
this
towne
is
situated
.
Heer
we
stayed
two
dais
,
&
had
a
freshe
fitte
of
entertainment
with
huntings
greater
then
the
first
but
in
that
kinde
.
The
Prince
hath
heere
a
goodlie
house
,
where
are
one
of
the
fiue
choice
things
of
Germanie
which
are
the
Armorie
and
Stabell
at
Dresden
,
the
banquetinge
house
at
Stutgart
the
hunts
kammer
of
Munchen
and
the
hall
of
Rottenberg
.
Heere
called
he
to
his
Baltazar
Gedel
a
worthy
graue
wise
gentelman
,
and
whom
the
imployed
vpon
the
borders
of
the
Abbacye
of
fuld
,
which
is
the
Emperours
.
But
to
speake
at
length
after
a
timely
obseruation
of
this
noble
Prince
whose
rare
giftes
and
vertues
and
discretion
in
the
cariadge
of
himselfe
,
and
mannaging
affaires
sufficiently
discouer
him
,
he
First
a
goodly
personage
,
of
stature
tall
&
straght
,
for
his
proportion
,
of
a
good
presence
and
a
gallant
countenaunce
,
manly
visaged
,
with
a
faire
big
blacke
eie
,
deepe
aburne
haire
,
comlie
in
behauiour
,
gratious
and
presuasiue
in
speach
.
And
this
bodie
hath
a
minde
sutable
vnto
yt
.
For
his
giftes
of
nature
are
great
,
sharpe
to
apprehend
,
and
sound
in
iudgment
,
mingling
his
grauitie
with
pleasure
,
his
courtesie
with
state
,
and
honor
,
loue
with
stoutnes
,
thereby
winning
the
affection
of
His
education
prince-like
,
generally
knowen
in
all
things
,
&
excellent
in
many
,
seasoning
his
graue
&
mor
important
studies
for
ability
in
iudgment
,
with
studies
of
pastime
for
retiring
,
as
in
poetrie
,
musike
,
and
the
Mathemitikes
,
and
for
ornament
in
discourse
in
the
languages
,
French
,
Italian
&
English
,
wherein
he
is
expert
reading
much
,
conferring
and
writting
much
he
is
a
full
man
,
a
readie
man
,
an
exact
man
,
and
so
excellent
a
Prince
that
a
man
may
say
of
him
without
flatterie
as
Tullie
did
of
Pompey
,
vnus
in
quo
summa
sunt
omnia
,
and
for
my
priuate
opinion
I
thinke
there
are
but
fewe
such
men
in
the
world
.
His
experience
in
all
good
courses
greater
then
his
yeares
,
though
for
the
inconstancies
,
aduantages
,
and
courses
of
the
bad
world
,
it
increase
with
time
in
all
men
.
For
art
doth
perfect
nature
&
is
perfected
by
experience
.
In
his
gouernment
wise
,
in
himselfe
absolutely
ruling
vehement
yet
louing
&
beloued
of
his
sub
iectes
,
void
of
crueltie
or
exaction
,
gentell
,
gratious
,
not
gouerned
by
one
nor
distracted
by
many
but
aduised
.
And
as
Traiane
the
Emperour
was
called
paterpatrie
by
the
Romanes
,
so
hath
this
Prince
a
terme
among
his
people
of
their
(
Goodnesse
without
end
.
)
For
his
exercise
giuen
much
to
hormanship
,
and
to
his
lawfull
pleasures
,
in
the
vaine
of
his
age
,
more
giuen
to
spend
then
to
gather
,
and
whereas
his
Grandfather
aduanced
his
house
by
matching
with
Sophia
Duchesse
of
saxonie
,
&
his
father
with
sabina
Dutchesse
of
Wurteynberg
,
he
hath
married
vertue
and
beautie
,
folowing
rather
the
contentment
of
his
mind
like
a
great
Prince
,
then
the
filling
of
his
purse
,
or
his
greater
aduancement
chusing
so
vertuous
and
so
beautifull
as
his
countese
by
whom
he
had
first
a
sonne
named
Otto
,
and
nowe
her
Maiesties
God
daughter
Elizabeth
:
his
waies
may
prosper
for
they
are
right
,
and
his
counsels
take
effect
,
for
they
tend
to
pietie
.
After
his
entertainmentes
here
at
Rotenberg
,
he
would
gladly
haue
caried
my
Lord
Embassador
to
his
best
house
at
Smalecole
,
for
as
he
is
goodnes
without
end
vnto
his
subiectes
,
so
shewed
he
loue
without
end
to
her
Maiestie
,
but
his
iourney
of
Amberg
,
woulde
not
permit
it
,
therefore
we
returned
back
by
Spauengberg
from
whence
he
suddainly
went
from
vs
before
,
where
at
we
maruailed
but
coming
to
Cassel
he
met
my
Lo.
Embassador
extraordinarily
gallant
,
and
receiued
him
so
freshly
as
though
he
had
but
now
begun
his
entertainment
.
This
iudgment
and
discretion
he
vsed
to
the
last
,
embracing
this
fauoure
of
her
Maiestie
,
in
the
most
estimable
and
kinde
manner
,
that
was
possible
,
and
shewing
greater
parts
then
of
a
duchman
.
Vpon
parting
he
presented
my
Lord
with
Princely
giftes
,
as
cuppes
of
Iuorie
,
Amber
&
Christal
,
&
to
fit
his
humor
with
turkes
&
Ginnets
,
furnished
verie
richly
,
whiat
other
secret
giftes
were
giuen
betweene
them
,
I
knowe
not
:
but
after
mutuall
presents
,
and
gratuities
,
dispatching
of
letters
,
and
preparing
for
our
Iourney
to
Breme
the
Prince
sent
one
Master
Branch
for
Frence
,
who
went
with
vs
,
dined
with
the
Embassador
he
and
the
Dukes
of
Luneberg
and
Holsteine
,
who
after
dinner
in
all
termes
of
honour
and
of
courtisie
bad
my
Lord
farewell
.
And
so
these
Princes
parted
.
