Merkins of the Madams In that Scene below I saw a fellow carried in a throng of Squeezers upon Men's backs like a Pageant for the space of thirty Yards in all which time being somewhat over-sensible of his Elevation strutted cock'd his Beaver and rid in Triumph 'till at last a new provocation of diversion separating the shoulders of his Supporters drop'd him in a dismal dirty kennel whil'st a race of fresh Gamesters ran over him Like a popular Favourite who when the Faction dissipates is left to himself and laid liable to all misfortunes But in this time my Lord is come to St. Laurence-Lane end where he is jovially saluted with a Scene of Drolls being all pertinent persons in merry conformity to the Drapers Company The Fourth Pagent THis Scene is a Landscape of Salisbury Plain where Rustic Shepherds and Rural Shepherdesses are feeding and folding their Flocks and for the future Exaltation of the Drapers delight here are several Trades met together all pertinent for making of Cloth as Carders Spinners Dyers Wool-combers Sheerers Dressers Fullers Weavers which are set w●●hout Order because the Excellencie of this Scene doth consist in confusion although their Number and weight are too cumbersom and ponderous for all of them to work according to their distinct Arts and Mysteries yet they are here met in their Persons to rejoyce and express their Frolicks in Dancing Tumbling Jumping Pipeing and Singing and all such jovial Actions and Movements of Agility as may express their Joy and Exultation in their Complement to the New Lord Mayor and their Service to the Drapers Company When they had done over their Tricks of Activity as much silence as could be in that place at that time was Commanded whilst a Jolly Shepherd and his Bonny Shepherdess advance their Voices in in this following Ditty in praise of a Shepherds Life sung by Opilio and Pastora A SONG Opi OF all the blest Lives in the World that are fam'd The Shepherd's condition ought first to be nam'd Which may be defended from every Degree Past. For Piety Honour and Antiquity Iust Abel 't is said A Shepherd by Trade Did dye the first Martyr that ever was made Opi And by his own Brother received his Doom Although their Formation were both in a Womb. Past. This Example may teach us if well understood That there 's no Infallible friendship in Blood Opi When David did follow the Ewes great with young He liv'd like a Shepherd he pip'd and he sung Past.

And Pan must not be Forgotten by me Whom Shepherds did Worship as their Deity Opi In Arcadian plains he Dominion did bear When Argalus and his Parthenia were there Past. These Presidents ev'ery Objection convinces Shepherds have been Martyrs Gods Prophets and Princes Opi One other to amplifie all I shall name Of Courage and Conduct good Fortune and Fame Past. A Shepherd by Trade and a Scythian by Birth As you will confess when you hear of his worth Tamberlain did make The Turk's Empire to shake When he in a Battel did Bajazet take Opi Though five hundred Thousand men there did engage He took him and put him into an Iron Cage Past. In one little Cabin his Empire and Throne is Who with his one Tongue declar'd Lex talionis Opi But we simple Shepherds on Salsbury plain Live in more content than some Princes that Raign Past. In Vallies and Mountains we pipe and we sing Love God and our Neighbours the Church and the King Opi We are not such Sots To harbour black Plots To call in the French-men or draw in the Scots And in civil War ev'ry Honest-man loses They that love it I wish they may hav 't in their Houses Chor. No Kingdom nor Dukedom nor Popedom can be With all their Dominions so happy as we Opi We are not for Pistols Guns Backsword nor Rapiers But pray for good Tradeing amongst LONDON Drapers Of whose Corporation and Society Sir Henry Fitz-Alwin first Lord Mayor was Free Who as it appears By our Overseers Did Rule as Lord May'r above Twenty four yeers And it is presum'd he so justly did do If he had not dy'd then might have sat there till now Then let 's sing and Dance up Curvet and cut Capers Wee 'l pray for the King the Lord Mayor and the Drapers The Song being ended the Foot-Marshal having placed the Assistants Livery and the Companies on both sides of King-street and their Pensioners with their Targets hung on-the Tops of the Javelins In the Reer of them the Ensign-bearers Dums and Fifes in the Front and hasten the Foins and Budg-Batchelors together with the Gentlemen-Ushers to Guild-Hall where his Lordship is again saluted by the Artillery-men with Three Vollies more which Concludes their Duty His Land Attendants pass through the Gallery or Lane so made into Guild-Hall after which the Company repairs to Dinner in the Hall and the several Silk-works and Triumphs are likewise conveyed into Blackwell-Hall and the Officers aforesaid and the Children that sit in the Pageants there refresh themselves until his Lordship hath Dined at Guild-Hall But I must attend my Lord in the Hall at Dinner and give an account of the delightful Diligence with the Jocal Accomplishments and performances of the Musical Movements His Lordship and the Guests being all seated the City Music begin to touch their Instruments with very Artful Fingers and after a Consort Lesson or two being played and their Ears as well feasted as their Pallats an Accute Person with good Voice brisk humour and Audible utterance the better to provoke Digestion sings this pertinent Frolic called The CORONATION of CANARY DRink your Wine away 'T is my Lord Mayor's day Let our Cups and Caesh be free Beer and Ale are both But the Sons of froth Let us then in Wine agree To tast a Quart Of every Sort The thinner and the thicker That spight of Chance We may advance The Nobler and the Quicker Who shall by Vote Of ev'ry Throat Be Crown'd the King of Liquor II.
