A RELATION OF THE ROYALL MAGNIFICENT AND sumptuous Entertainement giuen to the High and Mighty Princesse Queene ANNE at the renowned Citie of Bristoll by the Mayor Sheriffes and Aldermen thereof in the Moneth of Iune last past 1613. TOGETHER WITH The Oration Gifts Triumphes Water-Combats and other Showes there made LONDON Printed for Iohn Budge and are to be solde at the great South-doore of Paules and at Britaines-Bursse 1613. TO THE RIGHT WORSHIPFVLL Abell Kitchin Mayor and the VVorshipfull Christopher Cary and Iohn Barker Sheriffes of the Citty of BRISTOLL health RIght VVorshipfull and VVorshipfuls considering that the Libraries of the Greekes and Romaines are plentifully stuffed with the records of their owne atchieuements whereby they haue not onely preserued their names but haue also gotten thereby an euerlasting fame vnto all posterities therefore hauing so fit an occasion to manifest my loue and so worthy a subiect to expresse my dutie I haue thought good to tempt your acceptance in this small presentment of her Maiesties royall Entertainment which although it be not beautified with refined words nor yet sufficiently adorned with Poetical tearmes as the worthinesse of the subiect requireth yet resting on your fauourable censures and therewithall desiring you that euen as the skilfull Geometritian who at the games of Olimpus by the bignes of Hercules foot gessed of the stature of his whole body euen so by the outward view of this small treatise you would vouchsafe to measure the willingnes of mine inward intent if that my power were correspondent to my ready heart I haue therefore aduentured vnder your fauourable protection for to lay open vnto the whole world the truth of this forepast Triumph for three chiefe and especiall causes First that such a memorable example of sincere affection by true and loyall Subiects expressed to their Soueraigne should not be forgotten Secondly that it might be a meane to stirre vp all succeeding ages in imitation of the like to shew both dutifull obedience and ready seruice vnto their gracious Prince Thirdly and lastly that it might stop the slanderous mouthes of backe-biting and detracting Sichophants who by secret Libels or open raylings oppose themselues alwayes against the truth enuying all those by the splendor of whose admired vertues their hypocriticall shewes of fained pietie are eclipsed For as the Sunne obscures all lesser Lights So Vertues lustre dampes all Enuies sleights Finally if you but daigne to shew a fauourable aspect vpon these Orphan-Lines I will neyther feare the distaste of the Cinick nor the sole conceite of the Censorious for although many carpes are expected when curious eyes come a-fishing yet our patience shall suppe vp and make roome for better seruices when Zo-ilus with his barkings or Momus with his detractions waites to serue the Table meane while prostituting these rude Lines to the sole approbation of your iudicious Censures and my selfe to your Seruice I rest Yours humbly deuoted ROBERT NAILE To the Christian Reader Health MOst gentle READER here hehold I preffer vnto thee The Prentice Mitte though simply dight accepted let it be Expect not heare refined phrase in these my Verse I sing My Muse hath neuer dranke as yet of the Castalian Spring Nor seene Parnassus lofty pride as Poets now adayes Who by vnequalized workes haue wonne immortall prayse No selfe-conceite of learned skill nor yet desire of prayse Hath now inforc'd my barren Muse from silent sleepe to raise Her artlesse penne to write this Theame the which the Muses nine To blaze their fame and worthy name shall all in one combine Here shalt thou finde the simple truth though clad in poore array Which will not blush to shew her face when falshoode shall decay Here maist thou see that pearle of price true Loyaltie I meane With heart and hand by Bristoll-men presented to their Queene A worthy subiect is my taske if that my slender skill Could counteruaile the worth thereof according to my will To courteous Readers who by chance shall these my Lines peruse My Prentice yeares and want of age will want of Art excuse But for the scandalizing sort I passe them not a straw Who like the Spider poyson sucke whence Bees their hony draw Which carping Curs of Momus kinde to Aesops Dog I like Who would not eate the Hay nor let the Horse to taste a bite But to the partiall Readers hands these lines I recommend The Maiden fruits of all my workes as to my speciall friend Aecept it therefore in good part I humbly thee require Which if thou grant I haue obtain'd the summe of my desire ROBERT NAILE To the Author and his Booke FRom hidden Embers of obscuritie The glorious Lampe of light most clearely shines Whose splendor bright shall still admired be By the suruiuors of succeeding times Such loyall hearts adioyned with true loue Inspired by the God of heauen aboue Whose worthy vertues are by thee displaid And truely penn'd for truth no painting seekes Nor Poets skill doth shee implore for ayde But for her badge Simplicitie she keepes For euermore she doth desire the light Triumphing fearelesse ouer Enuies spight Hence Greeks and Romaines with your painted stiles And glorious shewes of former triumphs wonne For Bristoll hath out-stript your fame the whiles Whose prayse immortall shineth as the Sunne The truth hereof we with our eyes haue seene In entertainment of our gracious Queene IOHN PAYNE THE QVEENES Maiesties Entertainement at BRISTOLL IF auncient Records of renowne vnto our yeeres declare What deedes by our fore-fathers times of old atchieued were If they for vs such care haue had that their successors be By writing of their famous acts that we the same might see Shall wee to our suruiuors then our selues ingratefull proue By not recording things which may succeeding ages moue In imitation of the like to get a glorious name And to enroll themselues in Bookes of neuer-dying fame The monuments so much renown'd that mighty Monarches reare Piramids and Colosso's great doe moulder downe and weare In tract of time so that no forme nor fashion they retaine Whereby the Passengers may say Here once they did remaine But vertuous deedes which by the Muse preserued are for aye Shall still abide when date of these is passed cleane away For vertues fame immortall is and neuer shall it dye Though vnder ground consum'd to dust a thousand yeares we lye Great Peleus Sonne by Hectors death had neuer famous beene Had Homer grac'd him not with his immortalizing penne Shall I let sleepe in silence then what these mine eyes haue seene Bristols renowned prayse set forth in welcomming our Queene The graue and auncient Counsell first in gownes of Scarlet dye Attended on each by a Page did ride triumphantly With foot-cloaths were their Horses deckt no cost they thought too much For to expresse their willing hearts their loue to her was such To Bristols vtmost auncient bounds marcht on this gallant Traine To meete her Grace for whose approach with ioy they did remaine
