of greatest esteeme should rob her againe of her two precious Daughters Chrusos and Argurion she linckes them fast to her Chaire of State with a Chaine of Gold fastned in the middest with a Golden Ouch or Buckle the tongue where of hath so intricate a vertue as none but her selfe is able to vntye it On them also doe attend two beautifull Ladies Philoponia and Mnaemae Antiquity and Memory who make discouery of Empetria or graue Experience in the Golde-Smiths auncient profession by the imagiued Carracter of learned Dunstane who beeing Byshop of Worcester London and Arch-Byshop of Canterbury had no little delight in the Arte of Cold-Smithery and shewes himselfe now as then acting that profession The Emblems going before this Orfery a Mare-man and Mare-Maid each quartered with a golden Vnicorne do figure the long continued loue and amity which time out of minde hath helde betweene the Gold-Smiths and Fish-Mongers as Time in his speech for that purpose more at large declareth Leofstane his first speech at Baynards Castle after the Lord Maior is Landed IF it seeme strange vnto yon Honourable and woorthy Lorde that in this manner I presume to saluce yee the Iustice of the present cause and the Suffrages due to such daies of Triumph shall instantly veild you ample satisfaction First for my selfe I was sometime as you are now Lieutenant or Gouernour of this famous Citty albeit not in so milde a forme or temper in regarde that those dayes of disturbance and rough combustion after foure seuerall Conquests of the whole Land and vnsetled assurance in the very last required a stearner straine of awfull rule then now these sweeter singing times are able to endure Portgreues Prouostes and Bayliffes were Londons first M●gistrates and of Prouosts I the first beeing named Leofstane and a Golde Smith by my pro●ession as the powerfull commaund that raised me from my Graue at Bermondsey enstructes mee that you are and thought it fit that the first honoured Brother of our auncient Fraternity should attend this day of your solemne Inauguration hauing a Brother Sheriffe also of the same Society For these my followers that attend mee now as in my time of authority they did hostile still to Londons enimies or rude disturbers but peacefull to all her friendly louers Then honorable Lord and Brother Gold-Smith seeing Time priuately tels me that he hath further employment for mee in this your day of Triumph as best occasion shal giue way thereto heere endes my first salutations to your selfe and these graue Senators your worthy brethren who in my time were styled by the Name of Domesmen Elder-men or Iudges of the Kings Courts were then assistant to me in care counsel and fatherly prouidence for this Citties good as these reuerend men haue bin to others and now will be the like to you And so I leaue ye to your further progression The speeches at the Toombe Time Leofstane I charge thee stay Leofstane What art thou that dar'st bar me of my way Time He that suruaies what euer deedes are done Abridges or giues scope as likes me best Recalling to the present sight of Sunne Actions that as forgot haue lien at rest And now out of thy long since buried Chest At Bermondsey raisd thee to see this day Leofstane t is he that dares compell thy stay Leofstane See in how short a while a quiet Soule Hid from this world fiue hundred years and more May be forgetfull of great Times controule By such gay sights as nere I saw before My selfe yer while could tell this worthy Lord Time had reuiu'd me to attend this day Pardon me then that I durst breath a word In contestation where all ought obey needs must these gaudier daies yeild greater crime When long gran'd Ghosts dare thus contend with Time Time Enough no more Now honourable Lord For whose instalment in this Dignity Thy louing Bretheren liberallie affoord Out of their loues their glad harts simpathie And what may else thy triumph dignifie As thus I turne my Glasse to Times of old So tune thine eares to what must now be told In this triumphall Chariot thus attending Sit the supposed shapes of two great Kings That to this Citty gaue no small befriending Aduancing it from meane to mightier things From whence thy very instant honor springs For where before stearne Martial-Regiment Bare sole command grew this graue gouernment Richard the first Sur-named Lyon-heart For his vndaunted courage and great minde When in Gods cause he plaid a Champions part In faire Iudea where the Pagane blinde In Gods house would his mawmetry haue shrinde And full defac'd Star-bright Hierusalem This royall Richard foild his forces then But ere he vndertooke that holy war This Citty his cheefe Chamber did he grace With Dignity beyond the former far For Portgreues Prouosts Bayliffs held best place Such and no other then was Londons case Till he bethought him of a Lord-Maiors name And so the Title of Lord Maior first came And shall I tell ye what that first Lord was A Gold-Smith of thine owne profession Henrte Fitz-Alwine Fitz-Leofstane of honourable race Iudicious learned and of such discretion That euen by Richards owne direction All his whole time he held the State still on And so vntill the fifteenth of King Iohn Which did exceed full foure and twenty yeares That this graue Gold-Smith held authority Of the Lord Maior as by Records appeares Nineteene whole yeares this stile of dignity Came from the King but then most graciously Iohn gaue the Cittizens free leaue t'elect Yearely their Maior whom best they should respect Fiue yeares each after other til they chose That graue Fitz-Alwine to his dying day When he was called hence to blest repose Then iustly may we be thus bold to say Foure hundred years three the L. Maiors sway Hath held in London vnder their command Who stil assignd that office to their hand How many Gold-Smiths haue enioyed the place Were needlesse to recount Yet heere sleepes one Whom in this ●●ging and important case He being Gold Smith too and long since gone Out of this world old Nicholas Faringdon Foure times Lord Maior I may not wel omit Because I thinke him for thi triumph fit These gates he built this ward of him took name And three and fifty yeares he did suruine After his first being Maior What plentie came To greete his daies with former times did striue And nere the like as when hee was aliue Arise arise I say good Faringdon For in this triumph thou must needs make one Time striketh on the Tombe with his Siluer wand and then Faringdon ariseth Faringdon AStonishment and frightful wonder Shakes and splits my soule in sunder Cannot graues containe their dead Where long they haue lien buried But to Triumphs sports and showes They must be raisd Alacke God knowes They count their quiet slumber hlest Free from disturbance and vnrest Time I know it well good man Yet looke about And recollect thy
