Chruso-thriambos The Triumphes of GOLDE At the Inauguration of Sir IAMES PEMBERTON Knight in the Dignity of Lord Maior of London On Tuesday the 29. of October 1611. Performed in the harty loue and at the charges of the Right Worshipfull Worthy and Ancient Company of Golde-Smithes Deuised and written by A. M. Cittizen and Draper of London Imprinted by William Iaggard Printer to the Honourable Citty of London 1611. Chruso-thriambos The Triumphs of Golde THE ancient Romaines who were the first Creators of Consuls and Senators for publike rule and honorable gonernment vsed yearelie triumphall showes and deuises to grace their seuerall Inauguration From which famous and commendable Custome London as well as other Magnificent Citties of the World hath from time to time both deuised and continued the like loue and carefull respect at the Creation of her worthy Consuls and Magistrates As instant occasion may serue to testifie for the honorable enstaulment of Sir Iames Pemberton knight and Alderman in the high and eminent office of Londons Maioralty For the better effecting whereof the Ancient Worthy and Right Worshipfull Company of Gold-Smithes sparing no cost that might expresse their loue to so Honorable a Brother added to his day of Triumphe diuers deuises First then concerning the seruices performed on the Water when he tooke Bardge with all the other Companies towards Westminster supposicion must needes giue some gracefull help to inuention and bee as ready in apprehension as the other in action Imagine then that from the rich and Golden Indian Mines sundry Ships Frigots and Gallies are returned home in one of which Ch●orison the Golden King with Tumanama his peerelesse Queene are at their owne entreatie brought into England with no meane quantity of Indian Gold to behold the Countries beauty and the immediate day of sollemne tryumph Diuers Sea-fights and skirmishes ●re actiuely performed both in the passage on to Westminster and backe againe each Gallant hauing his Indian Page attending on him laden with Ingots of Golde and Silüer and those Instruments that delued them out of the earth In which manner they march along by Land likewise the Indian King and his Queene beeing mounted on two Golden Leopardes that draw a goodly triumphal Chariot No sooner landeth the Lord Maior at Baynards Castle but there he is saluted by Leofstane a Gold-Smith the first Prouost that bare authoritie in London who likewise is guarded by ten Halberdiers to expresse the Martiall gouernment then in vse His speech being ended hee conducteth the Lord Maior and his worthy train on till he comes to an ancient Toombe or Monument standing in apt place appointed for it and by it is ordered the Triumphall Chariot to performe the seruices thereto appointed In the Chariot we suppose the shapes of king Richard the first sirnamed Cordelion and King Iohn his Brother that succeeded him in the Kingdome and each hath his seuerall attending Vertue Richard was the first that gaue London the dignity of a Lord Maior reducing it from the rule of Portgreues Prouosts and Bay liffes to that more high and honourable Title yet with this restriction that the election of the Maior consisted then in the King himselfe as it did all King Richards life time and so continued til the fifteenth yeare of King Iohn who then most graciously gaue the Cittizens of London absolute power to elect a Lord Mayor amongst themselues in which worthy condition it hath euer since continued The seruices at the Tombe performed doth sufficiently speake it selfe in more meete place appointed and therefore needeth heere no further relation The Orferie or Pageant ON a Quadrangle frame of apt constructure and answerable strength we erect a Rocke or Mount of Golde in such true proportion as Art can best present it with clifts crannies and passable places such as may best inlustrate the inuention and expresse the persons therein seated according to their seuerall Carracter and Office The Pioners Miners and Deluers doe first vse their endeuour and labour to come by the Oare of gold and Siluer hidden in the Rock which being from them conuaied to the industrious Finer it is by him framed into Ingots of diuers formes according as further benefit is to be made of it and the same applyed to most necessary vses as likewise is apparantly discouered in the Mint-Maister Coyners Gold Smithes Ieweller Lapidarie Pearle-Driller Plate-Seller and such like all liuely acting their sundry professions To distinguish those precious Mettals of Gold and Siluer from base adulterating or corruption wee show there also an ingenious Say-Maister with his Furnaces Glasses of parting each Mettall from other his Table Ballance and Weightes euen to the very smallest quantitie of true valuation in Ingots Iewelles Plate or Monies for the more honour of the Prince and Countrey when his Coynes are kept from imbasing and abusing On the top or height of our Orferie because the Societies creast or supremest Embleme may hold some correspondency with our inuention their Motto or word being Iustitia Virtutum Regina As Queene of all other Vertues we figure Chthoon or Vesta Mother to Saturn and called likewise Terra the breeding and teeming Mother of al Golde Siluer Mineral and other Mettals and seate her in the cheefest Soueraignetie On her right hand sits Chrusas Gold her eldest Daughter and Argurion Siluer the youngest richlie suted according to their seueral Natures and qualities After a supposed long and tedious iourney which al her daughters Gold and Siluer may seeme to haue had thorough their Mothers large limits and Rocky kingdome leauing in euery Vaine Sinnew Artery the rich and valuable vertue of their splendour they are returned againe and seated by her to fulfill this sollemne day of Triumph prepared for her eldest Daughter Golde Now that it might bee publikely discerned how vnpartiall an Empresse she is and vncorruptible in her rich bounty to the World thus she reueales it That greedy and neuer satisfied Lydian King who desired that whatsoeuer he toucht might turne to Golde finding his own couetousnesse to be his ruine he imaginarily Metamorphozed into a Stone Our Chthoon finding this Lydian Stone fit for her vse tearmed it Lithos and because in his life time the King was so immeasurably affected to Golde shee imposed this vertue on the Stone that it should for euer after be the Touch-Stone and Trier of both Gold and Siluer to warne other Worldlings of the like auaritious folly By this Stone shee tries the vertue of her Ingots Iewels Monies c. and poyzing them afterward in her euen-handed-Ballance that euery Mettall might be iust and perfect shee not onely gaue that Stone to her golden Sonnes the Gold-Smiths but her Daughter Goldes figure likewise appointing her to sit on their Armories creast with the Touch-Stone in the one hand and Ballance in the other to represent her owne sacred person in Iustice and to verify their word Iustitia Virtutum Regina Now least the insatiable World which neuer is surficed with guifts

of greatest esteeme should rob her againe of her two precious Daughters Chrusos and Argurion she linckes them fast to her Chaire of State with a Chaine of Gold fastned in the middest with a Golden Ouch or Buckle the tongue where of hath so intricate a vertue as none but her selfe is able to vntye it On them also doe attend two beautifull Ladies Philoponia and Mnaemae Antiquity and Memory who make discouery of Empetria or graue Experience in the Golde-Smiths auncient profession by the imagiued Carracter of learned Dunstane who beeing Byshop of Worcester London and Arch-Byshop of Canterbury had no little delight in the Arte of Cold-Smithery and shewes himselfe now as then acting that profession The Emblems going before this Orfery a Mare-man and Mare-Maid each quartered with a golden Vnicorne do figure the long continued loue and amity which time out of minde hath helde betweene the Gold-Smiths and Fish-Mongers as Time in his speech for that purpose more at large declareth Leofstane his first speech at Baynards Castle after the Lord Maior is Landed IF it seeme strange vnto yon Honourable and woorthy Lorde that in this manner I presume to saluce yee the Iustice of the present cause and the Suffrages due to such daies of Triumph shall instantly veild you ample satisfaction First for my selfe I was sometime as you are now Lieutenant or Gouernour of this famous Citty albeit not in so milde a forme or temper in regarde that those dayes of disturbance and rough combustion after foure seuerall Conquests of the whole Land and vnsetled assurance in the very last required a stearner straine of awfull rule then now these sweeter singing times are able to endure Portgreues Prouostes and Bayliffes were Londons first M●gistrates and of Prouosts I the first beeing named Leofstane and a Golde Smith by my pro●ession as the powerfull commaund that raised me from my Graue at Bermondsey enstructes mee that you are and thought it fit that the first honoured Brother of our auncient Fraternity should attend this day of your solemne Inauguration hauing a Brother Sheriffe also of the same Society For these my followers that attend mee now as in my time of authority they did hostile still to Londons enimies or rude disturbers but peacefull to all her friendly louers Then honorable Lord and Brother Gold-Smith seeing Time priuately tels me that he hath further employment for mee in this your day of Triumph as best occasion shal giue way thereto heere endes my first salutations to your selfe and these graue Senators your worthy brethren who in my time were styled by the Name of Domesmen Elder-men or Iudges of the Kings Courts were then assistant to me in care counsel and fatherly prouidence for this Citties good as these reuerend men haue bin to others and now will be the like to you And so I leaue ye to your further progression The speeches at the Toombe Time Leofstane I charge thee stay Leofstane What art thou that dar'st bar me of my way Time He that suruaies what euer deedes are done Abridges or giues scope as likes me best Recalling to the present sight of Sunne Actions that as forgot haue lien at rest And now out of thy long since buried Chest At Bermondsey raisd thee to see this day Leofstane t is he that dares compell thy stay Leofstane See in how short a while a quiet Soule Hid from this world fiue hundred years and more May be forgetfull of great Times controule By such gay sights as nere I saw before My selfe yer while could tell this worthy Lord Time had reuiu'd me to attend this day Pardon me then that I durst breath a word In contestation where all ought obey needs must these gaudier daies yeild greater crime When long gran'd Ghosts dare thus contend with Time Time Enough no more Now honourable Lord For whose instalment in this Dignity Thy louing Bretheren liberallie affoord Out of their loues their glad harts simpathie And what may else thy triumph dignifie As thus I turne my Glasse to Times of old So tune thine eares to what must now be told In this triumphall Chariot thus attending Sit the supposed shapes of two great Kings That to this Citty gaue no small befriending Aduancing it from meane to mightier things From whence thy very instant honor springs For where before stearne Martial-Regiment Bare sole command grew this graue gouernment Richard the first Sur-named Lyon-heart For his vndaunted courage and great minde When in Gods cause he plaid a Champions part In faire Iudea where the Pagane blinde In Gods house would his mawmetry haue shrinde And full defac'd Star-bright Hierusalem This royall Richard foild his forces then But ere he vndertooke that holy war This Citty his cheefe Chamber did he grace With Dignity beyond the former far For Portgreues Prouosts Bayliffs held best place Such and no other then was Londons case Till he bethought him of a Lord-Maiors name And so the Title of Lord Maior first came And shall I tell ye what that first Lord was A Gold-Smith of thine owne profession Henrte Fitz-Alwine Fitz-Leofstane of honourable race Iudicious learned and of such discretion That euen by Richards owne direction All his whole time he held the State still on And so vntill the fifteenth of King Iohn Which did exceed full foure and twenty yeares That this graue Gold-Smith held authority Of the Lord Maior as by Records appeares Nineteene whole yeares this stile of dignity Came from the King but then most graciously Iohn gaue the Cittizens free leaue t'elect Yearely their Maior whom best they should respect Fiue yeares each after other til they chose That graue Fitz-Alwine to his dying day When he was called hence to blest repose Then iustly may we be thus bold to say Foure hundred years three the L. Maiors sway Hath held in London vnder their command Who stil assignd that office to their hand How many Gold-Smiths haue enioyed the place Were needlesse to recount Yet heere sleepes one Whom in this ●●ging and important case He being Gold Smith too and long since gone Out of this world old Nicholas Faringdon Foure times Lord Maior I may not wel omit Because I thinke him for thi triumph fit These gates he built this ward of him took name And three and fifty yeares he did suruine After his first being Maior What plentie came To greete his daies with former times did striue And nere the like as when hee was aliue Arise arise I say good Faringdon For in this triumph thou must needs make one Time striketh on the Tombe with his Siluer wand and then Faringdon ariseth Faringdon AStonishment and frightful wonder Shakes and splits my soule in sunder Cannot graues containe their dead Where long they haue lien buried But to Triumphs sports and showes They must be raisd Alacke God knowes They count their quiet slumber hlest Free from disturbance and vnrest Time I know it well good man Yet looke about And recollect thy
