YOu noble Buds of Britaine , that spring from Honors Tree , Who loue to heare of high designes , attend a while to me , And I le ( in briefe ) discouer what Fame bids me take in hand , to blaze the praise Of great Northumberland . The Order of the Garter , ere since third Edwards Raign'd , Vnto the Realme of England hath a matchlesse Honour gaind : The World hath no Societie like to this Princely band , to raise the praise Of great Northumberland . The honour of his Pedegree doth claime a high regard , And many of his Ancestors , for Fame thought nothing hard , And he through noble qualities , which are exactly scand , doth raise the praise Of Great Northumberland . Against the day appointed , his Lordship did prevare , To publish his Magnificence , no charges he did spare ,

The like within mans memorie , was neuer tune in hand , to raise the praise Of great Northumberland . Vpon that day it séemed , all Britany did striue , And did their best to honour him , with all they could coutriue , For all our high Nobility ioyn'd in a mutuall hand , to blaze , they praise , Of great Northumberland . The Common eyes were dazeled , With wonder to behold , The lustre of apparell rich , all Siluer Pearle and Gold Which on braue Coursers mounted , did glister through the Strand . to blaze tho praise , Of great Northumberland . But are that I procéeded , this progresse to report I should haue mentioned the feast , made at Salisbury Court , Almost siue hundred dishes , did on a table stand , to raise the praise , Of great Northumberland .

The second part to the same tune .

THe mightyest Prince or Monarch , that in the world doth raigne , At such a sumptuous banquet might , haue din'd without disdayne . Where Sacke like Conduit water was free euen at command . to blaze the praise Of great Northumberland . The famous Fleet-street Conduit , renown'd so long agoe . Did not neglect to expresse what loue , shee to my Lord did owe For like an ould proud woman shee painted fayre both stand . to blaze , the praise , Of great Northumberland . A number of braue Gallants , some Knights and some Esquires , Attended at this triumph great , clad in compleat attyres . The Siluer halfe moone gloriousse , vpon their sléeues did stand , to blaze the praise , Of great Northumberland . All these on stately , Horses , that til indur'd the bit , Weare mounted in magniffique sort , as to the time was fit , Their feathers white and red dit show , like to a martiall band , to blaze the praise , Of great Northumberland . The noble Earles and Vizco●tz , and Barons rode in state , This great and high solemnity , all did Congratulats , To honour braue Earle Pearcy , each put a helping hand , to blaze the praise , Of great Northumberland . King Charles our Royall soueraigne and his renowned Mary , With ( Britaines hope ) their progeny . all louingly did tarry . At noble Vizcount Wimbletons , ●ith fairest part 'o th Strand , to blaze , &c. To famous Winsor-Castle , with all his gallant traine , Earle Pearcy went that afternoone , his honour to obtaine . And there he was installed , One of Saint Georges band , to blaze , &c. Long may he liue in honour , in plenty and in peace , For him and all his noble friends , to pray I le neuer cease , This ditty ( which I now will end ) was onely fane in hand . to blaze the praise , Of great Northumberland . FINIS . M. P.
