In

Royall
Entertaynment
of
his
most
excellent
MAIESTIE
,
the
QVEENE
&
the
PRINCE
.
The
27.
of
August
last
:
1605.
POrphyrius
recordeth
in
a
Treatise
of
his
De
vita
Plotini
that
when
Plotinus
(
a
famous
PHILOSOPHER
in
Rome
)
entred
into
his
Schoole
to
performe
his
accustomed
vse
of
reading
;
casting
his
eyes
aside
,
he
presently
espyed
Origen
prepared
to
be
his
hearer
,
At
whose
aspect
rubore
suffusus
blushing
,
Plotinus
ceased
to
speake
:
which
Origen
perceauing
,
requested
him
to
proceed
:
but
the
Philosopher
replyed
,
that
it
was
time
for
a
professor
to
holde
his
peace
,
when
his
Auditours
before
hand
knew
what
he
intented
to
teach
.
I
make
no
doubt
but
the
verie
Title
and
inscription
of
this
little
Treatise
giues
good
notise
&
inckling
what
shal
be
the
subsequents
,
wherin
I
might
very
well
hold
my
peace
with
Plotinus
being
an
eye
witnesse
of
so
many
learned
Philosophers
&
others
in
place
,
that
could
both
ornatius
dicere
,
&
concinius
agere
,
a
matter
of
such
worth
then
my selfe
.
But
as
in
causis
vniuocis
est
semper
verum
,
that
nemo
dat
quod
non
habet
:
So
in
officious
performances
where
there
wants
abilitie
,
the
next
degree
to
well
doing
is
to
bee
faithfully
willing
,
and
desirous
to
doe
well
.
For
Bona
pars
est
probitatis
,
toto
pectore
velle
fieri
probum
.
Therefore
hauing
bene
a
member
of
that
famous
Vniuersitie
,
and
fortunate
Mother
of
all
learning
,
that
from
her
fruitefull
wombe
,
hath
sent
foorth
so
many
sufficient
Schollers
to
supporte
her
owne
reputation
,
and
to
supply
the
defects
and
imperfections
of
others
:
I
among
the
rest
,
(
though
the
vnworthyest
of
all
)
in
gratefull
remembrance
of
some
former
benefits
receiued
from
her
,
haue
taken
so
vppon
me
to
set
downe
the
true
Ioye
which
she
expressed
by
externall
actions
,
as
voice
and
gestures
(
the
signes
of
eternall
loue
and
passion
.
)
Through
the
windowes
whereof
a
man
might
easily
passe
with
the
sight
of
his
vnderstanding
,
and
discouer
the
secret
affection
and
gladnesse
conceited
by
the
approach
of
his
most
excellent
Majesty
,
the
Queene
,
&
young
Prince
,
vnto
that
their
worthie
Cittie
of
Oxford
.
For
vpon
Tuesday
the
27.
of
August
laste
,
his
Maiestie
comming
from
Woodstocke
to
Oxford
,
the
Earle
of
Dorset
Lord
Chauncelor
,
accompained
with
the
Vice-Chauncelor
,
the
Doctors
,
Proctors
&
certaine
Senior
Masters
,
rode
foorth
vpon
their
foote-cloath
Horses
,
verie
richlye
furnished
to
meete
the
King
,
whome
they
expected
about
Aristotles
Well
,
where
hauing
intention
that
the
Vice-Chauncelor
should
first
salute
his
Majestie
with
a
speech
,
Maister
Maior
with
his
company
passed
by
without
regard
to
them
,
purposing
indeed
that
his
Orator
should
first
speak
,
which
when
the
Lord
Chauncelor
perceiued
,
he
presently
sent
to
the
Maior
,
and
charged
him
to
surcease
his
purpose
till
the
Vice-Chauncelor
had
finished
his
Oration
to
the
King
:
with
which
message
the
Maior
was
little
pleased
,
yet
his
mends
were
small
,
for
hee
retired
with
speede
,
and
had
no
better
excuse
for
himselfe
,
then
to
say
hee
did
not
see
them
,
notwithstanding
they
were
hard
by
him
,
and
all
in
their
Scarlet
Gownes
.
After
this
,
his
Maiestie
drawing
neere
,
the
Lord
Treasorer
and
the
Vice-chauncelor
repayred
vnto
him
,
who
stayed
his
course
,
and
rayned
his
Horsse
of
State
whereon
he
rode
:
the
Vice-chauncellor
presenting
him-selfe
with
his
speech
vnto
his
Highnes
,
surrendring
vp
the
Keyes
of
the
Vniuersitye
,
and
the
Beadles
deposing
their
Staues
,
and
laying

downe
at
his

feet
:
Further
deliuering
vnto
him
the
New

very
fairely

,
and
richly
guilded
:
vnto
the
Queene
a
Purse
,
&
to
the
young
Prince
a
paire
of
gloues
.
With
which
Oration
at
his
first
meeting
,
and
the
seuerall
guiftes
presented
vnto
them
,
the
King
,
Queene
and
Prince
,
were
so
well
pleased
and
delighted
,
that
the
whole
Vniuersitie
receiued
much
content
&
comfort
.
After
the
Lord
Chauncelors
,
and
the
Vniuersites
salutation
,
Maister
Maior
addressed
himselfe
towards
the
King
:
and
by
the
mouth
of
the
Townes
Orator
,
he
&
his
bretheren
pronounced
an
English
speech
to
his
Majestie
,
and
presented
three
seuerall
Cuppes
:
the
one
to
the
King
,
another
to
the
Queene
and
another
to
the

.
Maister
Maior
rendring
vp
his
Mace
,
striued
with
himselfe
to
doe
all
duetifull
obeysance
that
might
be
accepted
,
which
the
King
discouering
,
verie
graciously
encouraged
,
and
gaue
him
great

heartye
thankes
for

inuited
thither
,
by
the
Right
Honorable
the
Lord
Treasorer
,
Lord
Chauncelor
of
the
Vniuersity
:
who
of
his
Noble
minde
,
and
loue
to
learning
and
her
professors
,
the
same
day
sent
to
euerie
Colledge
a
Bucke
,
and
twenty
shillings
a
peece
to
be
bestowed
in
Wine
,
wherewith
the
Schollers
did
so
thankefully
frolicke
it
,
that
by
exterior
meanes
they
manifested
their
interior
mindes
and
gratitude
for
so
great
fauour
from
so
worthy
and
Honorable
a
personage
:
for
as
virtus
laudata
crescit
:
Soe
doe
Schollers
then
moste
striue
to
prooue
absolute
,
when
they
finde
the
Nobilitie
,
to
supporte
their
studies
,
and
to
cherish
their
indeauors
,
as
did
Virgil
by
the
liberalitie
extended
by
Mecoenas
.
And
what
made
Alexander
by
learned
pennes
so
eternized
to
succeeding
ages
,
but
his
bountie
in
giuing
giftes
,
and
bestowing
benefits
?
and
his
magnificent
deportment
in
powring
foorh
his
treasures
to
the
encouragement
of
learning
?
This
wonne
him
incomparable
Loue
of
all
that
dealt
with
him
,
and
of
the
learned
professors
of
his
time
.
For
the
dignitie
of
any
principle
,
enchaunceth
the
effect
.
As
a
meane
worke
proceeding
from
an
excellent
workeman
,
winneth
in
regard
of
the
Authour
,
farre
more
credit
,
and
reputation
,
then
if
it
had
proceeded
from
an
Artificer
of
lesser
account
.
So
in
like
manner
a
smal
guift
comming
from
the
hands
of
a
great
person
,
carieth
euer
a
sent
of
a
certaine
greatnesse
,
and
relisheth
great
power
to
produce
great
effects
in
the
receiuer
,
and
stirres
him
vp
to
a
continuing
desire
of
deeper
and
further
deseruing
.
Well
,
I
will
not
be
nimis
curiosus
in
aliena
Republica
,
but
returne
to
what
proceeded
in
the
after
noone
.
After
dinner
,
his
Majestie
,
together
with
the
Queene
,
made
greate
haste
to
Saint
Maries
,
where
first
of
all
,
Naturall
Philosophie
disputations
were
acted
.
The
Questions
being
.
Whether
Golde
may
be
made
by
Arte
?
Whether
Imagination
may
produce
reall
effects
?

To
these
questions
,
his
Majestie
gaue
great
heede
,
&
many
times
interposed
his
opinion
of
the
Arguments
,
which
were
proposed
very
learnedlye
and
Philosophically
,
especially
of
this
one
question
,
which
was
:
An
Ars
Chimica
possit
producere
aurum
?
Concerning
this
,
he
made
a
long
discourse
in
Latine
,
which
did
so
fill
the
Auditors
with
wonder
,
and
admiration
,
that
they
generally
concluded
,
and
pronounced
our
Countrie
to
be
that
Common-wealth
,
which
Plato
affirmed
,
to
be
happie
and
blessed
,
vnder
the
gouernment
&
protection
of
a
King
so
learned
,
wise
,
and
vertuous
:
and
euerie
man
prayed
that
the
poysonfull
heartes
of
his
enemies
,
might
no
more
preuaile
against
his
might
,
nor
no
more
impaire
his
greatnes
,
then
an
Emetts
blaste
the
mountaines
of
Hircan
,
or
Caucasua
.
After
Naturall
Philosophie
disputations
were
concluded
by
the
Moderator
,
disputations
begunne
in
Morrall
Philosophy
.
The
Questions
being
.
Whether
it
be
more
to
defend
,
or
enlarge
the
boundes
of
an
Empire
or
Kingdome
?
Whether
that
is
iust
and
vniust
,
consisteth
vpon
Lawe
onely
,
and
not
vpon
Nature
.

Moderator

Harber
Senior

The
Opponents
.

Maister
Barkham
.
-
Maister
Langton
.
-
Maister
King
.
-
Maister
Winniffe
.
-
Maister

.
-
Maister

.
In
this
also
the
King
did
speake
with
such
learning
,
as
Apollo
,
if
his
Tripos
were
vp
againe
,
would
pronounce
him
his
Socrates
,
especially
in
that
question
.
An
melius
sit
fines
Imperij
propagare
,
quam
tueri
?
Wherein
hee
many
times
vrged
contrarieties
to
finde
out
the
certaintie
,
indeauouring
in
knowledge
to
winne
a
full
and
compleate
perfection
.
And
it
seemeth
that
hee
had
much
accustomed
himselfe
to
study
and
disputations
to
attaine
that
inward
comfort
:
Quod
nemo
nouit
nisi
qui
accipit
.
For
as
vse
had
bred
in
him
facilitie
,
and
facilitie
confirmed
Nature
;
So
his
nature
seemes
stronglye
inclined
to
vertue
,
and
that
can
hardly
be
diuerted
from
her
common
course
,
but
followeth
still
her
vertuous
determination
.
Therefore
greate
hope
(
to
a
generall
comfort
)
is
to
bee
conceiued
of
happinesse
to
the
people
,
where
the
King
both
by
nature
and
custome
hath
wrought
in
himselfe
a
perfection
of
vnderstanding
,
which
once
purchased
is
not
easily
supplanted
:
Whereunto
agreeth
that
vulgar
Axiome
of
Philosophers
:
Omnis
habitus
est
difficile
separabilis
a
subiecto
.
But
these
Disputations
,
by
reason
of
the
shortnesse
of
the
time
,
were
verie
compendious
and
briefe
,
For
least
his
Majestie
should
bee
wearied
with
teadiousnesse
or
prolixities
,
The
Proctors
did
cut
off
the
Opponents
verye
suddainelye
,
insomuch
that
before
all
the
Opponents
had
disputed
,
they
spoke
to
the
Moderator
that
he
should
conclude
:
which
the
King
perceiuing
,
and
that
there
was
one
left
out
,
which
had
not
disputed
,
his
Majestie
gaue
commaundement
that
hee
should
dispute
also
,
so
desirous
hee
was
of
hearing
.
After
that
,
the
Senior
Proctor
,
which
was
Moderator
in
the
Morrall
Disputations
,
made
conclusion
of
all
.
The
which
being
ended
,
and
that
being
the
last
of
the
disputations
&
exercises
,
his
Maiestie
did
as
heere
followeth
make
a
moste
gracious
and
pitthy
speech
in
Latine
to
the
Vniuersitie
,
which
did
so
glad
the
hearts
of
the
hearers
,
that
euerie
man
went
away
,
and
parted
sorrowfull
for
the
Kinges
so
short
tarryance
and
so
sudden
departure
.
Which
for
that
nothing
is
so
curious
,
and
thirstye
after
the
knowledge
of
vnknowne
matters
,
then
the
nature
of
Man
,
(
for
so
saith
Chrysostome
,
Homil:
9.
In
1.
ad
Thessa
)
Nihil
it
a
curiosum
est
,
et
auidum
ad

incognitarum
cognitionem
,
vt

Natura
.
I
haue
for
the
satisfaction
of
such
as
vnderstand
not
the
Latine
,
truely
set
downe
the
same
afterwards
in
English
.
With
this
speech
thus
concluded
,
his
maiestie
arose
,
and
gaue
vnto
the
Doctors
and
the
rest
,
manie
thanks
,
for
their
paines
that
they
had
taken
:
and
vnto
all
he
shewed
himselfe
so
gracious
,
and
with
so
louing
a
countenance
,
that
by
his
outward
appearaunce
might
be
well
discouered
,
how
inwardlie
he
was
satisfied
,
and
pleased
,
with
their
learned
answeares
vnto
the
seuerall
questions
:
and
so
returned
backe
againe
to
Christchurch
.
Where
vppon
Thursdaie
at
nighte
after
supper
there
was
a
Comedie
plaied
by
saint
Iohns
men
before
his
Maiestie
.
The
subiect
whereof
was
the
foure
Complexions
.
This
comedie
was
so
richlie
set
foorth
and
beautified
,
with
such
curious
and
quaint
conceipts
and
deuises
,
as
that
it
made
his
Maiestie
pronounce
himselfe
as
muche
delighted
therewith
,
as
with
anie
sight
(
of
the
like
nature
)
at
anie
time
heretofore
presented
vnto
him
.
The
next
morrowe
,
beeing
Fridaie
,
the
thirtieth
daie
of
August
,
was
the
daie
of
his
Maiesties
departure
from
Oxforde
,
and
as
soone
as
the
Sunne
had
vailed
the
curtaine
of
the
night
,
he
got
vp
,
carrieng
the
opinion
of
Caesar.

That
he
had
done
nothing
,
when
any
thinge
was
left
vndone
:
and
mounted
himself
with
diuers
of
his
Nobles
to
see
the
Vniuersities
Librarie
,
which
is
in
length
all
ouer
the
Diuinity
Schoole
.
The
scituation
whereof
is
so
pleasant
,
that
the
grounde
whereon
it
is
seated
is
Diapred
with
Floraes
riches
,
yet
is
it
farre
more
glorious
,
hauing
placed
within
her
circumference
so
famous
a
Monument
of
such
worke
,
and
workemanshippe
.
Round
about
,
in
forme
of
an
Amphitheater
,
are
placed
Colledges
,
and
in
the
forefront
thereof
,
in
the
place
of
Oakes
,
Elmes
,
and
Pine-trees
,
all
which
are
comfortable
trees
to
defende
her
from
the
furious
wrathe
of
winde
and
weather
,
are
planted
the
Schools
of
the
seauen
liberall
Sciences
,
to
adorn
and
beautifie
her
with
the
inward
plenty
of
their
wisedome
and
treasure
.
As
for
the
Lybrarie
it selfe
,
it
hath
a
verie
long
,
large
,
and
spacious
walke
,
ouer
the
schoole
of
Diuinitie
,
inter-seamed
on
both
sides
,
from
the
one
ende
vnto
the
other
,
very
thicke
with
seuerall
Partitions
,
with
certaine
seates
and
Deskes
before
them
to
sitte
downe
vpon
and
reade
.
These
partitions
are
in
euerie
place
filled
full
of
shelues
,
and
vnto
the
shelues
are
there
many
Bookes
fastened
with
chaines
of
Jron
:
euerie
volume
bearing
his
name
and
title
,
written
on
paper
or
parchment
,
in
faire
Roman
letters
,
and
euerie
partition
hath
an
Jnscription
of
the
Faculties
,
As
whether
her
bookes
bee
either
of
Theologie
,
Philosophie
,
Astronomie
,
Geometry
,
or
any
other
Art
,
&c.
The
Bookes
that
are
conteined
within
this
Lybrarie
,
are
verie
rare
straunge
and
scarce
,
seldome
or
not
at
all
to
be
heard
of
or
seene
in
any
place
but
there
.
All
of
them
verie
richlie
guilded
,
and
manye
of
them
bossed
either
with
Siluer
or
Golde
.
All
these
are
so
fairelie
kept
and
maintaind
,
as
if
the
Goddesse
of
wisdome
hadde
selected
and
reserued
it
a
Paradice
to
entertaine
the
Muses
:
Therefore
J
conclude
of
it
thus
,
that
Dignitatem
eius
,
difficile
est
vt
homo
explicet
sermone
.
This
obiect
being
presented
vnto
the
sight
of
his
Maiestie
,
did
so
sensiblie
discouer
his
delight
therewith
,
that
he
reported
it
a
most
admirable
ornament
to
the
Vniuersitie
:
and
gratiouslie
promised
himselfe
,
a
royal
friend
and
Patron
for
euer
.
Whilst
his
Maiestie
was
thus
busied
in
taking
of
this
suruey
of
the
librarie
;
the
queen
and
Prince
were
in
the
meane
space
,
as
much
delighted
with
an
English
Comedie
,
presented
and
plaide
before
them
in
Christ-church
hall
,
by
certaine
Schollers
:
which
was
as
rich
lie
set
forth
and
perfourmed
,
as
with
as
great
applause
,
and
commendation
as
any
of
the
rest
that
had
beene
before
since
the
Kinges
comming
to
Oxford
.
Jn
the
meane
time
also
diuers
of
the
Noble
men
went
to
Saint
Maries
in
their
hoodes
,
and
formalities
,
and
were
presented
,
and
incorproated
Maisters
of
Arts.

with
diuers
others
,
of
the
Noblemen
and
Knights
,
that
came
in
so
confusedly
that
as
yet
there
is
not
a
perfect
register
gathered
of
their
names
.
After
his
sighte
of
the
Vniuersities
Lybraries
,
he
betooke
himselfe
towards
Magdalen
Colledge
,
to
see
that
also
:
accompanied
with
diuers
of
the
Nobility
,
wheras
the
president
and
diuers
the
rest
of
the
fellowes
,
stoode
readye
to
receiue
him
,
also
at
the
Chappell
doore
he
was
Royally
entertained
and
at
his
entrance
,
there
was
a
Latine
oration
pronounced
vnto
him
.
Which
being
ended
,
hee
stoode
a
prettie
while
reading
the
verses
that
were
written
in
Latine
by
certaine
Noblemens
sonnes
students
in
the
same
Colledges
,
and
set
thicke
on
both
sides
of
the
chappell
gate
,
as
there
was
also
diuers
others
placed
rounde
aboute
the
courts
of
other
Schollers
writings
.
Thus
when
his
Maiestie
had
viewed
the
Chappell
,
he
was
forth
with
conducted
into
the
Cloysters
,
and
from
thence
into
the
squadrant
Court
within
the
Cloysters
,
where
he
staied
a
good
space
,
taking
a
thorow
view
of
all
such
seuerall
Pictures
as
were
there
set
vp
round
about
,
and
now
against
this
entertain
were
newly
trimmed
and
painted
,
which
caused
his
Maiestie
to
demande
the
meaning
of
them
,
wherein
the
President
and
others
fully
resolued
him
.
From
thence
he
returned
backe
to
Christ
church
againe
vnto
the
Queene
and
younge
Prince
,
and
in
the
waie
(
as
is
credibly
reported
)
he
woulde
needes
be
guided
to
Brazen
Nose
Colledge
gate
,
that
he
might
be
made
an
eie-witnesse
of
that
,
of
which
he
hadde
so
often
heard
,
and
that
whereof
the
Colledge
carrieth
the
name
.
And
both
as
he
passed
forth
of
Magdalen
Colledge
gates
,
and
so
vpwardes
all
along
,
the
Schollers
cried
Viuat
uiuat
,
&c.
and
the
others
of
the
multitude
,
with
a
loude
voice
,
God
saue
king
Iames
,
&c.
Much
about
twelue
of
the
clocke
the
same
day
he
tooke
his
leave
,
and
left
the
Vniuersitie
,
addressing
his
course
towardes
Windsore
Castle
.
And
a
little
on
this
side
Whayt
ley
,
some
fiue
or
sixe
miles
from
Oxford
,
his
Maiestie
and
the
Queene
parted
,
the
King
purposing
that
night
to
lie
at
the
Ladie
Russels
a
little
from
Maiden-head
,
&
the
Queen
at
Sir
Francis
Stoners
,
a
little
from
Henly
vpon
Thames
.
Thus
was
Oxford
left
a
mournefull
place
for
the
suddaine
departure
of
her
most
dread
Soueraigne
.

Oh

draw
forth
these

Yeares

That
such

May

But

For
as
Titan
appeares
not
from
the
East
,
to
make
one
place
only
gorgeous
with
his
Sunne-beames
.
So
his
Maiestie
is

to

other

also
hapie

ioyfull
at
his
royall

the
brightnesse
of
his
fauours
,
as
haue
muche
languished
for
his
long
absence
.
Thus
as
his
entrance
into
the
Cittye
,
filled
euerie
parte
of
it
with
great
ioy
and
admiration
,
so
likewise
his
departure
lefte
the
Vniuersitie
thus
lamenting
his
short
continuance
and
tarrying
amongst
them
.
Oh
think
(
Augustus
)
how
the
Muses
moorn
,
Which
ioyde
of
late
to
see
thy
soueraigntie
:
think
how
at
this
retire
they
wring
their
hands
,
Distilling
from
their
eies
salt
shewers
of
tears
To
bring
in
Winter
with
their
sad
lament
?
and
to
this
purpose
play
their
seuerall
parts
,
For
how
can
Sommer
staie
,
when
sun
departs
?
Think
how
Syluanus
sadly
sits
,
and
grieues
,
to
see
that
Autumn
with
his
withered
wings
,
wil
bring
in
tempest
,
now
thy
beams
are
gon
Leaves
,
and
fill
each
Colledg-groue
with
wind-faln
That
did
but
lately
flourish
with
green
trees
think
how
at
this
ech
colledg
feels
hir
smarts
For
how
can
Sumer
stay
when
Sun
departs
?
Thinke
how
thy
learned
graue
Collegians
which
at
thy
entrance
shew`d
their
inward
ioyes
And
smooth`d
the
waie
,
and
strew`de
it
with
sweet
flowers
,
Now
if
they
durst
,
would
stop
it
with
greene
boughes
,
least
by
thine
absence
the
yeares
pride
decay
,
Such
griefe
conceit
thy
scholers
(
men
of
Arts
)
To
see
how
summer
slides
,
when
Sun
departs
.
Thy
students
weep
,
and
Colledges
mourne
in
blacke
,
Birds
cease
to
sing
,
and
euery
creature
wailes
,
to
see
the
season
alter
with
this
change
,
And
how
thy
going
workes
a
suddaine
woe
,
Turning
our
mirths
to
sable
sad
lament
,
our
ioyes
are
now
turn`d
al
to
mournful
parts
,
To
see
how
Summer
slides
when
sun
departs
.
Returne
then
soone
,
oh
soone
return
againe
,
For
Summers
parting
is
thy
peoples
paine
.
Oh
come
again
,
thou
art
thou
art
our
worlds
bright
ey
,
Whose
presence
so
adornd
our
Academy
,
Thou
art
our
Sun
,
then
bring
againe
thy
light
,
Els
doth
thine
absence
make
eternall
night
.
Well
:
hope
is
a
sweet
stringe
to
harpe
on
,
which
sends
a
second
comfort
to
cure
all
discontent
,
for
his
Maiesties
most
Royall
fauor
and
countenance
considered
,
giues
the
whol
Vniuersity
hopefull
perswasion
that
hee
will
alwaies
remain
her
faithfull
remembrancer
.
Which
God
grant
he
may
doe
,
and
that
he
may
continue
manye
and
most
happie
yeares
,
to
fauour
and
foster
her
,
and
