THe Queens MAIESTY came with a great traine to the right Honorable the Lorde Montacutes vpon saterdaie being the 14 daie of Auguste about eight of the clocke at night Where vpon sight of her Maiestie

holding his club in one hand and a key of golde in the other as followeth Saterday The Porters speech THe walles of Thebes were raised by Musicke by musick these are kept from falling It was a prophesie since the first stone was layde that these walles should shake and the roofe totter till the wisest the fairest and most fortunate of all creatures should by her first steppe make the foundation staid and by the glaunce of her eyes make the Turret steddie I haue beene here a Porter manie yeeres many Ladies haue entred passing amiable many verie wise none so happie These my fellow Porters thinking there could bee none such fell on sleepe and so incurde the seconde curse of the prophesie which is neuer againe to awake Marke how they looke more like postes then Porters reteining onlie their shapes but depriued of their sences I thought rather to cut off my eie liddes then to winke till I saw the ende And now it is for the musick is at an end this house immoueable your vertue immortall O miracle of time Natures glorie Fortunes Empresse the worlds wonder Soft this is the Poets part and not the Porters I haue nothing to present but the crest of mine office this keie Enter possesse all to whom the heauens haue vouchsafed all As for the owner of this house mine honourable Lord his tongue is the keie of his heart and his heart the locke of his soule Therefore what he speakes you may constantlie beleeue which is that in duetie and seruice to your Maiestie he would be second to none in praieng for your happinesse equall to anie Tuus O Regina quod optas Explorare fauor huic iussa capescere fas est Mundaie ON Munday at 8. of the clock in the morning her Highnes took horse with all her Traine and rode into the Parke where was a delicate Bowre prepared vnder the which were placed her Highnes Musitians and this dittie following song while her Maiestie shot at the Deere A Dittie BEhold her lockes like wiers of beaten gold her eies like starres that twinkle in the skie Her heauenly face not framd of earthly molde Her voice that founds Apollos melodie The miracle of time the worlds storie Fortunes Queen Loues treasure Natures glory No flattering hope she likes blind Fortunes bait nor shadowes of delight fond fansies glasse Nor charmes that do inchant false artes deceit nor fading ioyes which time makes swiftly pas But chast desires which beateth all these downe A Goddesse looke is worth a Monarchs crowne Goddesse and Monarch of his happie Ile vouchsafe this bow which is an huntresse part Your eies are arrows though they seeme to smile which neuer glanst but gald the stateliest hart Strike one strike all for none at all can flie They gaze you in the face although they die Then rode hir Grace to Cowdrey to dinner and aboute sixe of the clocke in the euening from a Turret sawe sixteene Buckes all hauing fayre lawe pulled downe with Greyhoundes in a laund Tewsdaie On Tewsdaie her Maiestie went to dinner to the Priory where my Lord himselfe kept house and there was she and her Lordes most bountifully feasted The Pilgrimes speech FAirest of all creatures vouchsaf to heare the prayer of a Pilgrime which shall be short and the petition which is but reasonable God graunt the worlde maie ende with your life and your life more happie then anie in the world that is my praier I haue trauelled manie Countries and in all Countries desire antiquities In this Iland but a spanne in respect of the world and in this Shire but a finger in regard of your Realme I haue heard great cause of wonder some of complaint Harde by and so neere as your Maiestie shall almost passe by I sawe on Oke whose statelines nayled mine cies to the branches and the ornamentes beguiled my thoughtes with astonishment I thought it free being in the fielde but I found it not so For at the verie entrie I mette I know not with what rough-hewed Ruffian whose armes wer carued out of knotty box for I could receue nothing of him but boxes so hastie was he to strike he had no leysure to speake I thought there were more waies to the wood then one and finding another passage I found also a Ladie verie faire but passing frowarde whose words set mee in a greater heate then the blowes I asked her name she said it was Peace I wondred that Peace could neuer holde her peace I cannot perswade my selfe since that time but that there is a waspes nest in mine eares I returned discontent But if it will please your Highnesse to view it that rude Champion at your faire feete will laie downe his foule head and at your becke that Ladie will make her mouth her
