at

Princely

.
I
Did
not
write
nor
publish
(
this
description
of
fire
and
water
triumphs
)
to
the
entent
that
they
should
onely
reade
the
relation
that
were
spectators
of
them
for
to
such
(
perhaps
)
it
will
relish
some
what
tedious
like
a
tale
that
is
too
often
told
:
but
I
did
write
these
things
,
that
those
who
are
far
remoted
,
not
onely
in
his
Maistties
Dominions
,
but
also
in
foraine
territories
,
may
have
an
vnderstanding
of
the
glorious
pomp
,
and
magnificent
domination
of
our
high
and
mighty
Monarch
King
Iames
:
and
further
,
to
demonstrate
the
skils
and
knowledges
that
our
warlike
nation
hath
in
engines
fire-works
and
other
millitary
discipline
,
that
there
by
may
be
knowne
,
that
howsoeuer
warre
seemes
to
sléepe
,
yet
(
vpon
any
lawfull
ground
or
occasion
)
the
command
of
our
dread
Soueraigne
can
rouse
hir
to
the
terrour
of
al
malignant
opposers
of
his
royall
state
and
dignity
.
But
to
the
purpose
.
In
this
representation
of
a
Sea-fight
there
were
16.
Ships
,
16.
Gallies
and
6.
Friggots
:
of
the
which
Nauy
,
the
Ships
were
Christians
and
the
Gallies
were
supposed
Turkes
,
all
being
artificially
rig'd
and
trim'd
,
well
man'd
and
furnished
with
great
ordinance
and
Musquettiers
:
one
of
the
Christian
fleet
was
a
great
vessell
or
a
supposed
Venetian
Argosey
,
and
another
was
a
tall
Ship
,
as
it
were
appointed
for
the
safe
Conuoye
of
the
Argosey
.
And
for
the
auoyding
of
the
troublesomnesse
of
Boates
and
Wherries
,
and
other
perturbatious
multitudes
,
there
was
a
lists
or
bounds
made
with
Lighters
,
Hayes
,
and
other
great
Boates
to
the
number
of
250.
or
there
abouts
:
the
one
end
of
the
Lists
was
as
high
(
almost
)
as
Lambeth
bridge
,
and
the
other
ende
as
low
as
the
Temple
staires
,
and
so
fastned
to
the
sowth
shore
,
or
the
vpper
end
of
the
bancks
on
sowthwarke
side
,
in
the
forme
of
a
halfe
Moone
or
Cemicircle
,
So
that
Boates
might
passe
vp
and
downe
the
river
betwixt
London
side
and
the
Lighters
any
way
.
The
aforesaid
Turketh
Gallies
lying
all
at
an
Anchor
euer
against
Westminster
,
in
a
hauen
or
harbor
made
artificially
with
Masts
and
other
prouision
,
60.
yards
into
the
River
,
which
harbor
or
hauen
was
belonging
to
a
supposed
Turkish
or
Barbarian
Castle
of
Tunis
,
Algeirs
,
or
some
other
Mahometan
fortification
,
where
the
Gallies
might
scowt
out
for
purchase
,
and
retire
in
againe
for
safeguard
at
their
pleasure
.
About
2.
of
the
clocke
on
satterday
the
13.
of
February
,
the
aforsaid
Argosev
and
the
other
Venetian
ship
hir
conuoy
,
sets
forward
from
ward
the
Temple
,
and
driuing
vp
with
the
winde
and
tide
til
they
came
as
high
as
Yorke
house
,
where
4.
Gallies
met
and
encountred
with
them
:
where
vpon
a
suddaine
there
was
friendly
exchanging
of
smal
shot
and
great
ordinance
on
both
sides
,
to
the
great
delectation
of
all
the
beholders
:
the
Drummes
,
Trumpets
,
Fises
,
Weights
,
Guns
,
showts
,
&
acclamations
of
the
Mariners
,
Soldiers
and
spectators
,
with
such
reuerberating
Echoes
of
ioy
to
and
fro
,
that
there
wanted
nothing
in
this
fight
(
but
that
which
was
fit
to
be
wanting
)
which
was
ships
sunk
and
torne
in
peices
,
men
groning
,
rent
and
dismembred
,
some
slaine
,
some
drowned
,
some
maimed
,
all
expecting
confusion
.
This
was
the
manner
of
the
happy
and
famons
battell
of
Lepanto
fought
betwixt
the
Turks
and
the
Christians
,
in
the
yeare
of
grace
1571.
or
in
this
bloody
manner
was
the
memorable
battaile
betwixt
vs
and
the
inuincible
(
as
it
was
thought
)
Spanish
Armado
in
the
yeare
1588.
but
in
the
end
,
in
this
frendly
fight
)
the
ship
and
Argosey
were
encompassed
round
by
the
Galleies
,
and
surprizde
and
taken
:
whereupon
,
the
whole
Fléet
made
towards
them
to
rescue
them
,
and
reuenge
their
receiued
iniuries
.
Then
there
was
a
Eeacon
flered
by
the
Turkes
which
gaue
warning
to
the
Castle
and
the
Galleyes
,
of
the
comming
of
the
Christian
Fléete
:
Then
all
the
Ships
and
Galleyes
met
in
freíndly
opposition
and
ymaginary
hurley-burley
battalions
:
then
the
lofty
instruments
of
Wars
clamorous
encouragements
sounded
:
the
thundring
Artillary
roared
,
the
Musqueteirs
in
numberles
volleys
discharged
on
al
sides
,
the
smoake
(
as
it
were
)
ecclipsing
Titans
refulgent
Beames
,
filling
all
the
Ayre
with
a
confused
cloudy
mist.
The
Castle
and
the
Land
adiacent
,
continually
dischardging
great
shot
in
aboundance
at
the
Ships
,
and
the
Ships
at
them
againe
:
so
that
after
this
delightfull
battaile
had
doutfully
lasted
thrée
houres
,
to
the
great
contentment
of
all
the
beholders
,
the
Uictorie
inclyning
to
neither
side
,
all
being
opposed
foes
,
and
combyned
friends
:
all
victors
,
all
tryumphers
,
none
to
be
vanguishd
,
and
therefore
no
conquerors
.
The
Drums
,
Trumphets
,
Flutes
and
Guns
,
filling
the
ayre
with
repurrussiue
acclamations
:
vpon
which
,
for
a
Catastrophe
or
Period
to
these
delightfull
royalties
,
commaund
was
giuen
that
the
Retreat
should
be
sounded
on
both
sides
.
And
thus
these
Princely
rocreations
were
accomplished
and
finished
.
THese
things
could
not
conueniently
be
printed
in
order
as
they
were
done
,
by
reason
of
the
diuersitie
of
them
.
For
heere
I
was
faine
to
describe
the
fight
of
the
ships
&
Gallyes
first
,
which
was
performed
last
.
For
the
Fire-workes
were
performed
on
Thurs-day
night
the
11.
of
February
,
and
the
fight
was
vpon
the
Saterday
following
.
At
the
which
fire-workes
the
maister
Gunner
of
England
,
on
the
shore
did
performe
many
skilfull
and
ingenious
exploits
with
great
Bumbards
,
shooting
vp
many
artificiall
balls
of
fire
into
the
ayre
,
which
flew
vp
in
one
whole
fierie
ball
,
&
in
their
falling
dispearsed
into
diuers
streams
like
Raine-bowes
in
many
innumerable
fires
.
After
all
which
,
was
discharged
a
great
peale
of
Chambers
,
to
the
contentment
of
the
royall
spectators
,
and
the
great
credit
of
the
performers
.
The
true
description
of
such
part
of
the
Fire-workes
as
were
deuised
and
accomplished
by
Mr.
Iohn

,
and
seruant

most
excellent
Maiestie

THe
Imperiall
and
Beautious
Lady
Lucida
Quéene
of
the
Feminine
Territories
,
of
the
man
hating
Amazonians
,
with
whose
bright
eye
dazeling
Coruscancis
,
and
whose
Refulgent
feature
,
the
Black-sould
hell
commanding
Magitian
Mango
(
A
Tartarian
borne
,
)
was
so
ensnared
and
captiuated
,
that
for
her
loue
,
and
to
be
assured
to
enioy
her
,
he
would
set
all
Hell
in
an
vprore
,
and
pluck
Don
Belzebub
by
the
beard
:
assuredly
perswading
himselfe
,
that
without
her
he
could
not
liue
,
and
for
her
he
would
attempt
any
thing
:
but
she
hauing
vowed
her selfe
euer
to
be
one
of
Vestaes
Usataries
,
alwayes
kept
Cupid
out
at
the
armes
end
:
and
bad
Madam
Venus
make
much
of
stump-footed
Vulcan
,
and
kéepe
home
like
a
good
huswife
,
for
she
had
no
entertainment
for
her
.
Whereupon
this
hellish
Necromancer
Mango
,
(
being
thus
repulst
)
conuerts
all
his
loue
to
outragious
rigor
,
and
immediatly
,
with
his
Charmes
,
erorcismes
,
and
potent
execrable
incantations
,
he
raises
a
strong
impregnable
Pauilion
,
in
the
which
he
immures
,
and
encloses
this
beautifull
Amazonian
Queene
with
her
attendant
Ladies
,
where
(
though
they
liued
in
captiuitie
and
bondage
,
yet
)
they
had
variety
of
Games
and
pleasant
sports
allowed
by
the
Magitian
,
in
hope
that
time
would
worke
an
alteration
in
her
faire
flinty
breast
.
And
for
her
sure
Gard
in
her
absence
,
he
had
erected
by
Magick
,
another
strong
Tower
,
as
a
watch
house
,
wherein
he
had
placed
a
fiery
Dragon
,
and
an
inuincible
Giant
:
(
of
whome
I
will
speake
in
another
place
héereafter
.
)
Now
to
this
aforesaid
Pauillion
wearyed
with
toyle
and
trauaile
,
the
Great
vnresistable
Champion
of
the
world
,
and
the
vncontrolable
Patron
Saint
George
comes
:
and
séeing
so
bright
and
luculent
a
Goddesse
,
(
according
as
his
necessitie
required
)
demanded
entertainment
,
whereby
he
might
be
refreshed
after
his
laborious
atchiuements
,
and
honorable
endeuours
.
The
curteous
Quéene
(
although
the
car'd
not
for
the
society
of
man
)
séeing
his
outward
or
externall
feature
and
warlike
acouterments
,
did
presently
resolue
with
her selfe
that
so
faire
an
outside
could
not
be
a
habitation
for
fowle
Trechery
,
and
with
most
debonayre
gesture
,
admits
his
entrance
into
the
Pauilion
,
where
after
he
had
feasted
a
while
,
she
relates
vnto
him
the
true
manner
and
occassion
,
of
her
vnfortunate
thraldome
:
Saint
George
(
euer
taking
pleasure
in
most
dangerous
attempts
,
holding
it
his
chiefest
glory
to
helpe
wronged
Ladies
)
vowes
,
that
as
soone
as
Rhoebus
rowz'd
himselfe
from
the
Antipodes
,
he
would
quest
the
burning
Dragon
,
Conquer
the
big
bon'd
Giant
,
subuert
the
inchanted
Castle
,
and
enfranchise
the
Quéene
with
her
followers
,
or
else
die
in
the
enterprise
thereof
.
After
which
promise
of
his
,
the
Quéene
to
passe
away
the
time
,
delights
him
with
these
pastimes
following
,
being
all
fire-workes
.
First
,
the
Pauilion
is
beleagerd
or
inuirond
round
about
with
fires
,
going
out
of
which
,
many
fiery
balls
flies
vp
into
the
Ayre
,
with
numbers
of
smaller
fiers
ascending
,
that
cemicircled
Cinthia
is
(
as
it
were
)
eclipsed
with
the
flashes
,
and
the
starres
are
hud-winckt
with
the
burning
exhalations
.
Secondly
,
is
séene
a
royall
hunting
of
Bucks
,
and
Hounds
,
and
Hunts-men
,
flying
and
chasing
one
another
round
about
the
Pauilion
(
as
if
Diana
had
lately
transformed
Acteon
,
and
his
ignorant
dogges
ready
to
prey
on
his
Carkas
)
from
whence
continually
is
flying
many
fiers
dispearsed
euery
way
:
The
lower
part
of
the
Pauilion
alwayes
burning
round
about
,
giuing
many
blowes
,
and
great
reports
,
with
many
fires
flying
aloft
into
the
Ayre
.
Thirdly
,
there
doth
march
round
about
the
Pauilion
Artificiall
men
,
which
shall
cast
out
fires
(
as
before
)
as
it
were
in
skirmish
:
another
part
of
the
Pauilion
is
all
in
a
Combustious
flame
,
where
Rackets
,
Crackers
,
Breakers
,
and
such
like
,
giues
blowes
and
reports
without
number
.
Fourthly
,
the
Quéene
of
Amazonia
with
all
her
traine
of
Virgin
Ladyes
,
with
fires
,
marcheth
round
as
the
men
did
before
,
with
the
fire
flying
despearsedly
diuers
wayes
:
the
whilst
another
part
of
the
Pauilion
is
fired
,
with
many
blowes
and
reports
,
and
fiers
flying
aloft
into
the
ayre
,
from
whence
it
comes
downe
againe
in
streaching
flakes
of
slashing
fire
.
Fifthly
,
aloft
with
the
Turret
,
shall
runns
(
whirling
rownd
)
a
fyerie
Globe
,
with
the
Turret
and
all
on
fire
,
with
many
more
greater
blowes
then
before
had
bin
heard
,
and
diuers
and
sundry
other
sorts
of
fires
(
then
any
of
the
former
)
procéeding
from
thence
,
and
flying
into
the
ayre
in
great
aboundance
.
All
which
things
being
performed
,
and
the
vndanted
Knight
Saint
George
taking
his
leaue
of
the
Amazonian
Queene
Lucida
,
he
mounts
vppon
his
Stéede
,
and
aduenterously
rides
towards
the
inchanted
Towre
of
Brumond
.
Now
these
disports
being
ended
,
wherein
Saint
Georges
entertainement
was
onely
expressed
,
with
the
Queenes
relation
of
her
bondage
,
this
braue
Champion
was
séene
to
ride
ouer
the
bridge
to
combat
with
these
aforesaid
Monsters
,
the
Dragon
and
Giant
:
all
which
was
expressed
in
the
next
deuise
of
Mr.
Thomas
Butler
:
and
so
I
end
,
with
my
harty
inuocations
to
the
Almighty
to
send
the
Bride
and
Bridgraome
the
yeares
of
Methushalah
,
the
fortitude
of
Ioshua
the
wisedome
of
Solomon
,
the
wealth
of
Crefsus
,
and
last
of
all
an
endles
Crowne
of
Immortalitie
in
the

and
in

a
burning
Launce
,
and
in
the
other
a
fiery
Sword
,
with
which
weapons
he
assailes
the
dreadfull
Dragon
,
with
such
fury
and
Monster-quelling
streakes
,
as
if
the

bolts
on

Anuile
:
where
in
conclusion
,
after
a
terrible
and
long
endured
Combat
,
with
his
Launce
he
gores
the
Hellehound
vnder
the

,
that
he
presently
aftermost

,
is
vanguished

,
meaning
to
reuenge
the
death
of
the
Dragon
,
and
to
swallow
his
enemy
for
a
modieum
:
but
at
their

encounter
,
the
blowes
on

sides
fell
like
Thunder
clappes
,
enforcing
lightning
,
and
fiery
exhalations
to
sparkle
,
from
whence
their
powerfull
stroakes
lighted
:
at

the
Monstar
gaping

,
as

Arch
in

Bridge

runnes
furiously
,
intending
to
swallow
his
aduersary
at

Saint
George
seeing
,
vpon
the
suddaine
thrust
his
Sword
into
his
gréedy
throat
and
ouerthrewe
him
:
at
which
the
Monster
yelles
and
rores
forth
such
a
terrible
noyse

that
with

dinne
thereof
,
the
Neighbouring
hills

,
séemed
to
tremble
like

The
Gyane
lying
at
the
mercy
of
Saint
George
,
entreats
him
to
spare
his
life
,
and
he
will
shewe
him
the
way
how
he
shall
conquer
the
Castle
