THE LOVE OF VVALES to their soueraigne Prince Expressed In a true Relation of the solemnity held at Ludlow in the Countie of Salop vpon the fourth of Nouember last past Anno Domini 1616. Being the day of the Creation of the high and mighty CHARLES Prince of WALES and Earle of CHESTER in his Maiesties Palace of White-Hall LONDON Printed by Nicholas Okes 1616. ¶ To the high and mightie Prince CHARLES Prince of Wales Duke of Cornewall and Yorke and Earle of Chester c. Most Illustrious and Peerelesse Prince THat which your Highnesse beholdeth in the Sunne rising how in displaying his bright Beames hee dispells all mistie vapours and comforts by the vigorous influence thereof the feeble sences of inferior bodies the same might easily haue bin discerned in the faces of all his Maiesties subiects who formerly drouping through the Fates destinie are at last cheered and reuiued by the happy Rise of your Highnes into the Princely throne of Wales where you were no sooner enthronized by Gods gracious prouidence by lawfull authoritie and by the loue of all his Maiesties liege people who are the Princes principall Supporters but it was a wonder to see of a sudden what a sweet spring what a happie change what a powerfull renouation was wrought in the vitall spirits of his Maiesties sayd subiects who daunced for ioy filled the Aire with shouts and acclamations in all quarters but specially in your proper Meridian of Ludlow the beautifull seate of his Maiesties chiefe Castle and Counsell of Wales where my selfe being not altogether an idle Actor nor vnwilling Spectator was so rauished with the fullnesse of ioy which I saw in the hearts of the people as I wished my selfe then to bee transformed into the shape of the sweete Nightingale which was counted Vox praetereà nihil that with Fames golden wings I might eccho out to the eares of all men the loyall affection of the Brittish Nation to their royall Prince and the royall fauours of their gracious Prince intended to them whose very Name caused such a surplusage of mirth and admiration as my Penne is not able to decipher the halfe of the reioycing which they expressed nor were they any way able with all their indeuors to testifie the full measure of Gladnes which their hearts conceiued If then in the divulging of this plaine Narration I eclipse much of the glorious substance of the Shew I hope your Highnesse in beholding my loyall intention will be induced to pardon my daring presumption And what is now the period of all our Petitions but that Heauen may adde constancie to the felicitie of your Triumph and then we doubt not that our Ioyes shall euer waxe olde but whiles your Highnesse continues to accept of the royall Title of Prince of Wales his Maiesties people will still haue new matter of reioycing in your gracious Gouernment and powerfull protection Thus in most lowly manner vpon my knee crauing pardon for this my presumption hoping your Excellencie will not discusse Nec quis nec quid sed quo animo neyther the meanenesse of my selfe nor the smallnesse of the matter but onely the minde and heart of your poore Vassall I rest praying for all blessings external internall and eternall to your Highnesse From Ludlow this last of Nouember 1616. Your Highnesse deuoted in all obseruance Daniel Powel To the Reader THat which Virgill writeth of Ascanius his following his Father Aeneas I must apply at this time to my selfe sequiturque patrem haud passibus aequis My naturall Father so loued his natiue Country that amongst other Writings he wrote a Chronicle of Wales Doctor Powels Chronicle and I howbeit not able to follow him in like maturitie and perfection yet striuing to follow him in the like matter and affection haue aduentured to relate the great cheerfulnesse and exceeding forwardnesse which was in my Country-men and all in these parts vpon the day of his Highnesse Creation Prince of Wales And how euer the carping Critickes may calumniate my honest indeuours yet I am sure they can neuer obliterate the memory of that daies mirth which still remaines niueo signanda lapillo so registred in the hearts of the people Vt nulla vnquam aetas nulla aetatis vetustas nulla vetustatis antiquitas illam aboleuerit Which if thou take in good part it is all I desire if thou doe not it is enough that I testifie my humble duetie vnto my Prince for his content and my loue to my Country-men for their commendations and so I leaue thee ¶ Apud Ludlow quarto die Nouembris Anno Domini 1616.
