Squire Tes Irenes Trophaea OR The Triumphs of Peace THe first shew or presentment on the water was a Chariot aptly contriued of two sea Monsters Argent and drawn by two Sea-horses set also off with pure siluer on this chariot was one borne representing Oceanus his head wreath'd with segges one hand grasping a scepter of green reeds to shew his potent sway within his watery dominions and the other curbing the forward fearcenesse of his horses his azure locks and beard o're growne hung like the careles emblem of a reuerend age disheuered or'e his naked limmes which were shadowed off with a mantle of sea greene taffaty lymd with waues and fishes This first presentment vshered on a stately well built ship bearing full saile figuring the traffique or trade of the worthy to be esteemed noble company of the Haberdashers Behind the shippe sate Aeolus the god of Winds filling their sailes with prosperous gusts and at each corner of the ship sate vpon small Ilands the 4 parts of the World Asia Africa America and Europa each of them inuiting their trade vnto their coasts Asia was attired in an antique habit of peach coloured Sattin and buskins of the same a Coronet on her head and

as Empresse of the earth and holding in her hand a cluster of grapes 'to signifie her full swolne plenty These meeting the Lord Maior on the Thames at three Cranes wharfe where he tooke water Oceanus made this speech The speech of Oceanus I that am stil'd the potent king of waues Oceanus he that in a moment can Curbe the vast depth of sea when as it raues And leuell marble mountaines that haue ran To ruine earth and skies I now am sent From all the watery deities to attend Thy stately triumphs as an honor ment To adde vnto thy greatnesse which to 'th end And confines of our rule hath clapt his wings For still the water Nymphs and gods of streames Running vnto my bosom each one brings Report of thee but my beloued Thames Full often when the cheerefull Lampe of day Hath warm'd my chilly bowells with his fires Hath tic'd me from his comfort with a lay Of what thou art and then with prayers desires And what else could attract me to consent Hath yeelded to my conuay thy large ships To traffique through my wide vast continent And now with a desire that outstrips Imagination I am come to see And wonder at the state which I now find For to attend thy Brotherhood and thee And now with you this le●gue I will combind That while the influence of the forked moone Appoints my curled billowes ebbes and tides While that the shipman throwes to heauen his boone For safe returne and while that stella rides With sparkling glory o're my wrinkled face My care shall be for euer to attend Your wealthy bottoms to your coasts apace And this my promise will I neuer end Nor breake vntill your wealth and states surmount Tagus vnualued sands in the account The speech of Aeolus ANd here the god of winds his promise plights That whilst the boisterous North gentle West The South and nipping East wind daies and nights Begirt the desert Ocean ready prest To execute my will with prosperous gales I will send home your ships and take delight To play with gentle murmures on your sailes Thus since both seas and winds themselues vnite Vnto your good I wish all powers diuine Might vnto your their loue and aids incline THe second and last presentment on the water was Pernassus mount whereon
