October 29.

IMPRINTED at LONDON by Edward Allde . 1585.

A Speech spoken by him that rid on a Luzarne before the Pageant apparelled like a Moore . FRom where the Sun dooth settle in his wayn And yoakes his Horses to his fiery Carte , And in his way giues life to Ceres Corne , Euen from the parching Zone behold I come A straunger straungely mounted as you sée , Seated vpon a lusty Luzerns back . And offer , to your Honour ( good my Lord ) This Emblem thus in showe significant . Loe louely London riche and fortunate , Famed through the Worlde for peace and happinesse : 〈◊〉 aduaunc't and set in Highest seat , ●●●wtified throughly as her state requires . First , ouer her a Princely Trophey standes , Of beaten golde : a riche and Royall Armes : Wher-too this London euer more bequeathes , Seruice of Honour and of Loyaltie . Her props are well aduised Maiestrates , That carefully attend her person still . The honest Franklin and the Husband-man , Layes downe his sackes of Corne at Londons féet , And bringes such presents as the Countrie yéeldes . The pleasaunt Thames a swéet and daintye Nymphe , For Londons good conuayes with gentle streame , And safe and easie passage what shée can , And kéepes her leaping Fishes in her lappe . The Souldier and the Sayler franckly bothe , For Londons ayde are all in readines , To Uenture and to fight by Land and Sea . And this thrise reuerend honorable Dame , Science the sap of euery common wealth . Surnam●d Mechanicall or Liberall Is vowed to honour London with her skill , And London by these fréendes so happy made : First thankes her God the Author of her peace , And next , with humble gesture as becomes , In méeke and lowly manner dooth she yéeld , Her selfe her welthe with hart and willingnes . Unto the person of her gracious Quéene , Elizabeth renowned through the world , Stall'd and annointed by the highest powre , The God of Kings that with his holy hand , Hath long defended her and her England . This now remaines right honourable Lord , That carefully you doo attend and Kéep , This louely Lady rich and beautifull ▪ The Iuel wherwithall your soueraigne Quéene , Hath put your honor louingly in trust : That you may adde to Londons dignity , And Londons dignity may adde to yours , That woorthely you may be counted one , Among the number of a many moe : Carefull léeftenaunts , carefull Maiestrates , For Londons welfare and her worthines . Dixi.
Spoken by the Children in the Pageant viz. London . NEw Troye I hight whome Lud my Lord surnam'd ▪ London the glory of the western side : Throughout the world is louely London fam'd , So farre as any sea comes in with tide . Whose peace and calme vnder her Royall Quéene : Hath long bin such as like was neuer séene . Then let me liue to caroll of her name , that she may euer liue and neuer dye : Her sacred shrine set in the house of fame , consecrate to eternall memorie . My péerles mistresse soueraigne of my peace : Long may she ioy with honours great increase . Magnanimity . THe Cuntry and the Thames affoord their aide , and carefull Maiestrates their care attend ▪ All English harts are glad , and well appaide , in readines their London to defend . Defend them Lord and these faire Nimphs likewise : that euer they may doo this sacrifice . Loyaltie . THe greatest treasure that a Prince can haue , dooth louely London offer to her Quéene , Such loyaltie as like was neuer séene . and such as any English hart can craue . The Cuntry FOf Londons aide the Cuntry giues supplie , of néedfull things , and store of euery graine : London giue thanks to him that sits on hie ▪ had neuer Towne lesse cause for to complaine , And loue and serue the soueraigne of thy peace : Under whose raigne thou hast this rich encrease . The Thames . WIth siluer glide my pleasant streames doo runne , where leaping fishes play betwixt the shores : This gracious good hath God and kinde begun , for Londons vse with help of Sailes and Ores . London reioyce and giue thy God the praise : For her whose highnes lengths thy happy daies . The Souldier . ARmour of safe defence the Souldier hath , So louely London carefully attends : To kéep her sacred soueraigne from skathe , That all this english land so well defends . And so farre London bids her souldiers goe , As well may serue to shéeld this land from woe . The Sayler . THe Sayler that in colde and quaking tide , the wrathfull stormes of Winters rage dooth bide With streamers stretcht , prepares his mery bark , for cuntries welth to set his men awark . That Quéene and Cuntry eazely may sée : The Sea-man serues his Prince in his degrée . Science . FOr Londons safety and her happines , the Souldier and the Sayler may you sée : All well prepar'd and put in redines , to doo such seruice as may fitting be , and Arte with them doo ioyne and they with me . London then ioy and let all ages knowe , What duty to thy soueraigne thou doo showe . The first Nymphe . THus with the morning Sun and euening starre , these holy lights shall burne , the chéerfull flame With swéetest odour that perfume as farre as India stands in honor of her name . Whose Trophey we adore with sacred rights : With swéetest incense and with endles lights . The Second Nymph . SO long as Sunne dooth lend the world his light , or any grasse dooth growe vpon the ground : With holy flame , our Torches shall burne bright , and fame shall brute with golden trumpets sound The honor of her sacred regiment : That claimes this honorable monument . The third Nymph . OUr holy lights shall burne continually , to signifie our duties to her state : Whose excellent and princely maiestye , approoues it selfe to be moste fortunate . The fourt Nymphe . VErtue shall witnes of her woorthines , and fame shall register her princely déeds : The world shall still pray for her happines , from whome our peace and quietnes procéeds .
