A18594	Englands mourning garment worne heere by plaine shepheards, in memorie of their sacred mistresse, Elizabeth; queene of vertue while she liued, and theame of sorrow being dead. To the which is added the true manner of her emperiall funerall. With many new additions, being now againe the second time reprinted, which was omitted in the first impression.

almost thirtie yeares agoe courting it now and then I haue seene the Ladies make great shift to hide away their looking-glasses if her Maiestie had past by their lodgings O humble Lady how meeke a spirite hadst thou How farre from affecting beautie or vaine pride when thou desiredst not to see that face which all thy subiects longed dayly to behold and sundry Princes came from farre to wonder at As in these things shee kept truely the Meane so likewise in her gifts as I first nored touching her Charitie which was still so tempered notwithstanding her great charge in aiding her distressed neighbours that she was euer truely liberall and no way prodigall as I trust his Royall Maiestie shall by the treasure finde As shee was adorned with all these vertues so was she indued with Fortitude and Princely courage so plentifully that her displeasure shooke euen her stoutest aduersaries and those vnnaturall traytors that came armed sundry times with bloodie resolution to lay violent hands on her sacred Maiestie her very lookes would daunt and their instruments prepared for her death dropt from their trembling hands with terrour of their consciences and amazement to behold her countenance Nay when she knew they came of purpose to kill her she hath singled diuerse of them alone and let some passe from her with milde caueats a farre off whose lenitie rather increasing then diminishing their malice they haue followed destruction which too timely ouertooke them I could in this place name many particular men as Parry and others but I will content yee with one priuate example ouerpassing the generall when Appletree whom I remembred before had hurt her water-man being next to her in the Barge the French Ambassador being amazed and all crying Treason Treason yetshee with an vndaunted spirite came to the open place of the Barge and bade them neuer feare for if the shotte were made at her they durst not shoote againe such maiestie had her presence and such boldnesse her heart that shee despised all feare and was as all Princes are or should be so full of diuine fulnesse that guiltie mortalitie durst not behold her but with dazeled eyes But I wonder saith Thenot she in so many yeares built no goodly Aedifice wherein her memorie might liue So did shee answered Collin the goodliest buildings in the earth such as like fleeting Iles commanded the seas whose outward wal's are dreadfull Engins of brasse sending fearefull thunder among enemies And the inhabitants of those wooden Iles are worthy Seamen such as dread to danger but for her would haue runne euen into destructions mouth I tell thee Thenot I haue seene in a fight some like nimble spirites hanging in the aire by little cords some lading ordinance with deathfull powder some charging Muskets and discharging ruine on their enemies some at the foreship others busie at helme skipping here and there like Roes in lightnesse and Lions in courage that it would haue powred spirite into a sicke man to see their resolutions For such tenants made she many buildings exceeding any Emperours Nauy in the earth whose seruice I doubt not will be acceptable to her most worthy Successor our dread Soueraigne Lord and King Other Pallaces shee had great store of which shee maintained and yearely repaired at least would haue done if those that had care of her suruaying would haue beene as carefull for hers as for their owne What should I say of her the clowdie mantle of the night couers the beautie of the heauen and this euening lookes like those foure days that preceeded the morning of her death The beasts the night that she ended her fate in earth kept an vnwonted bellowing so that I assure thee Thenot being assured of her sickenesse I was troubled being awakened with their cries with imagination of her death that I pittied not my bleating flocke who with their innocent notes kept time with my true teares till the houre of her death was past when immediately a heauy sleepe shut vp the windowes of mine eyes at which time as I haue since heard deaths eternal sleep vtterly benummed all her sences whose soule I doubt not hath already entred endlesse rest whither God will draw her glorified body in his great day Sweete Virgine she was borne on the Eue of that blessed Virgines Natiuitie holy Mary Christs mother shee died on the Eue of the Annunciation of the same most holy Virgin ablessed note of her endlesse blessednesse and her societie in heauen with those wise Virgines that kept Oyle euer in their Lampes to awayte the Bridegroome Shee came vnto the Crowne after her Royall sisters death like a fresh Spring euen in the beginning of Winter and brought vs comforte as the cleare Sunne doeth to storme-dressed Marriners shee left the Crowne likewise in the winter of her Age and the beginning of our Spring as if the Ruler of heauen had ordained her Coronation in our sharpest Winter to bring vs happinesse and vncrowned her in our happiest Spring to leaue vs in more felicitie by her Succeeder O happy beginning and more happy end which notwithstanding as naturall sonnes and subiects let her not goe vnwept for toher graue This euening let vs be like the Euening that drops dewy teares on the earth and while our hindes shut vp the sheepe in their folds sing a Funerall song for the losse of diuine Elizabeth inuocating absent Schollers to bewaile her whom in sundry Schooles shee cherisht and personally in either of their Vniuersities visited let vs bid souldiers lament her toward whom besides many apparant signes of her exceeding loue this is one most worth memorie shee came amongest them mounted at Tilburie being gathered into a royall Armie against the Spanish Inuasion promising to share with them in all fortunes if the enemie durst but shew his face aland Let Citizens likewise shead teares for her losse especially those of London to whome she was euer a kinde Soueraigne and bountifull neighbour I neede not bidde the Courtiers weepe for they can neuer forgette the countenance of their gracious Mistresse till they haue ingrauen in their hearts the fauour of their most Royall Maister For vs poore Shepheards though we are not able to sute our selues in blacke fine inough to adorne so Royall an Enterrement yet Thenot quicken thy inuention Dryope and Chloris shall beare parte and let vs conclude our sorrow for Eliza in a Funerall Hymne that shall haue power to draw from the swelling Clowdes waters to assist our woe The Springs taught by the teares that breake from our eyes already ouerflow their bounds The Birds sit mute to heare our musicke and our harmelesse flocke hearken to our moanes To this they all as gladly as their griefe would suffer them consented Collin for his broken Pipe toooke Cuddyes who could neither sing nor play Hee was so full of passion and sighes The Funerall Song betweene Collin and Thenot Dryope and Chloris vpon the death of the sacred Virgine ELIZABETH Collin YE sacred Muses
