LONDONS LOVE TO THE ROYAL PRINCE HENRIE MEETING HIM ON THE RIVER OF THAMES at his returne from Richmonde WITH A WORTHIE FLEETE OF HER CITTIZENS ON Thursday the last of May 1610. WITH A BREIFE REPORTE OF THE water Fight and Fire workes LONDON Printed by EDW. ALLDE for NATHANIELL FOSBROOKE and are to be solde at the West-end of Paules neere to the Bishop of Londons gate 1610. TO THE RIGHT HONORABLE Sr. THOMAS CAMBELL KNIGHT LORD Major of this famous Cittie of London And to all the Aldermen his worthie Bretheren c. I Holde it but right iustice Honorable Lord and you the rest of this Pollitique bodie to giue you that which you haue best deserued to wit a true taste of that dayes sollemne Triumphe in honor of so hopefull a Prince and wherein your great loue appeared not a little Your time for preparation was verie short and mine for your seruice much shorter yet of mine owne knowledge bothe of them were verie Royally and gratefully accepted which J am sure was all your chiefest expectation and then which nothing could be more desired by my selfe Accepte then your owne and me at your continuall seruice LONDONS LOVE TO THE ROYALL PRINCE HENRIE meeting him on the Riuer of Thames at his returne from Richmonde with a worthie Fleet of her Cittizens on Tursday the last of May. 1610. c. IT hath euer bin the nature of this honorable famous Cittie matchlesse for her loue and loyaltie in all ages past and present to come behinde none other of the worlde whatsoeuer in dutie to her Soueraigne and care not only of common good but also of vertuous and neuer-dying credit And such hath alwayes bin the indulgent endeuour of her worthie Magistrates from time to time that they would neuer let slip any good occasion whereby so maine especial respect might be duely and successiuely preserued And so much the rather because Plato termeth Magistracy to be the Anchor Head and Soule of any Citty holdeth it for the same thing in any commonwealth as the Heart is in the body of a liuing creature or as Reason in the Soule which being the chiefe and essentiall parts of either the life and existence of the whole is in that power their cheerful motion giues courage and alacritie to all the other partes of the bodie Whereof no better exemplarie rule can be made then the late apparant testimonie of Londons Loue to Royall Prince Henrie appointed by our dread Soueraigne his Father to be created Prince of Wales and Earle of Chester euen now in the assembly of the high Court of Parliament that he might be the twelfte Prince in that Royall creation succeeding those eleuen so long since passed For our Chronicles and Recordes doe name but eleuen that since the Conquest were Princes of Wales Whereof the first was Edward Sonne to King Henrie the third who afterward was King Edward the first he was created Prince at London The second was Edward his Sonne called also afterward King Edward the second and he had his creation at London likewise Thirdly Edward his Sonne being after that King Edward the third but he had his creation at Yorke Fourthly Edward surnamed the Blacke Prince who was Sonne to King Edward the third that conquered France and quartered their Armes with ours he also was created at London The fift was King Richard the second Sonne to that worthie warriour the Black Prince who liued not to enioy the Crowne he had his creation at Hauering The sixt was Henrie the fift eldest Sonne to King Henrie the fourth and he had his creation at London The seauenth was Edward the Sonne of King Henrie the sixt whose creation I read to be at Reading The eight was Edward the Sonne of King Edward the fourth afterward called Edward the fift neuer crowned but made away by his cruell vnckle Richard the third he was also created at London The ninth was Edward Sonne to King Richard the third created at London also The tenth was Prince Arthur Sonne to King Henrie the seauenth who deceassing his brother Henrie afterward King Henrie the eight who was made the eleuenth was also created Prince of Wales and bothe of them at London All these fore-named Princes of Wales were created sollemnely by and in the Court of Parliament except three which were Richard the second Edward the fift Edward the Sōne of Richard the third And those that were created out of Parliament were Princes of hard and disaster fortune For Richard the second was deposed Edward the fifte murdered and Richard the third his Sonne dyed with in three moneths after as a iust iudgement of God for his Fathers wickednes But now our Royall Henrie comming to be the twelfth Prince in this great dignitie and Londons cheefe Magistrate the Lord Maior with his worthie Bretheren the Aldermen hauing very shorte and sudden intelligence thereof after some small consultation vnderstanding that the Prince was to come from Richmonde by water they determined to meete him in such good manner as the breuitie of time would then permit them Wherfore vpon Thursday being the last day of May about eight of the clocke in the morning all the worshipfull Companies of the Cittie were readie in their Bardges vpon the water with their Streamers and Ensignes gloriously displayed Drommes Trumpets Fifes and other Musickes attending on them to awaite the Lord Maior and Aldermens comming No sooner had his Honor and the rest taken Bardge but on they rowed with such a chearefull noyse of Hermonie and so goodlie a shewe in order and equipage as made the beholders and hearers not meanely delighted beside a peale of Ordenance that welcomde them as they entred on the water To beautifie so sumptuous a shewe and to grace the day with more matter of Triumphe it seemd that Neptune smyled theron auspitiouslie and would not suffer so famous a Citties affection to goe vnfurnished of some fauour from him especially because it is the Metropolis and cheife honor of the Island whereunto him selfe euer bare such endeared affection For according to the affirmation of Annius de Viterbo Diodorus Siculus Higginus and Pictonius Neptune being called King or God of the Seas had by his Queene Amphitrita diuers Children and as Bale setteth downe each one of them he made King of a seuerall Island Britayne which himselfe tearmed to be Insula beata he bestowed vpon his fourth but best affected sonne Albion who subduing the Samotheans became sole ruler thereof according to the testimonie of Nicholaus Perottus R●gmanus Philesius Aristotle and Humphrey Lloyd and after his owne name called it Albion Now it is not without good reason to be imagined that in meere loue to his sonnes memorie and for his auncient affection to this Island no blessednes at any time can befall it but it shall receiue some especiall and regardful noate of his fauour But more especially at this time when Heauen Earth Sea and all had enterlaced loue together

to honor the generall reioycing for so fayre a fortune so royall a hope and a Prince of so vnusuall straine or expectation For where mortalles doe consent together and sing as in a Quire of setled ioy the supremer powers can neuer sit as ydle spectatours but seeing how weaker strength expresseth it selfe they in great bountie must needs add applause vnto it and out of their riche aboundance enable their meaner power by their helpe and expresse also their owne lyking thereof by some familiar addition or other Wherfore let vs thus thinke of Neptune that out of his spacious watrie wildernes he then suddenly sent a huge Whale and a Dolphin and by the power of his commanding Trident had seated two of his choycest Trytons on them altring their deformed Sea-shapes bestowing on them the borrowed bodies of two absolute Actors euen the verie best our instāt time can yeeld personating in them the seuerall Genii of Corinea the beautifull Queene of Cornewall and Amphion the Father of hermonie or Musick In these two well-seeming and richelye appointed persons the Dukedome of Cornewall and the Principalitie of Wales by order of Neptunes Prophet or Poet call him whether ye will caried some tipe or figure and not improperly to them so applyed For such representations and misticall vnderstandings haue alwayes bin reputed lawfull and are euermore allowed to holde and carrie correspondencie with such solemne shewes and Triumphes as before in Elder Antiquitie so likewise in Moderne and later vse Let it suffise then that thus was this goodly Fleete of Cittizens accompanied and vshered the way so farre as Chelseye where houering on the water vntill the Prince came all pleasures that the times interim could afforde were plētifully entercoursed and no disorder or breache of arraye in the whole Nauie Vpon the Princes neere approche way was made for his best and aptest entertainement which by multitude of Boates and Bardges of no vse but only for desire of sight was much impeached for a while Till order being taken for the contrarie the Princes Bardge accosted the Lord Maiors where dutie entertayning on the one side Princely Grace most affably accepting on the other Corinea mounted on her Whale presented herselfe in this manner to his Highnesse CORINEA a very fayre and beautifull Nimphe representing the Genius of olde Corineus Queene and the Prouince of Cornewall suited in her watrie habit yet riche and costly with a Coronet of Pearles and Cockle shelles on her head saluteth the PRINCE THE SPEECHE SPOKEN BY CORINEA riding on a Whale GRacious Prince and great Duke of Cornewall I the good Angell or Genius of Corinea Queene to Brutes noble Companion Corineus the first of fayre Britaynes Regions and your owne worthie Dukedome in honor of this generall reioycing day and to expresse the endeared affections of Londons Lord Maior his Bretheren the Aldermen and all these worthie Cittizens Merchants that holde Commerce with me and the wide worlde in our very best and richest commodities doe thus vsher them the way to applaude in this Triumphe and to let you knowe their willing readines by all meanes possible to loue and honor you The shortnes of time hath bin no meane bridle to their zealous forwardnes which else would haue appeared in more flowing and aboundant manner Neuerthelesse out of this little limitation let me humbly entreate you to accept their boundlesse loue which is like to Iaacobs Ladder reaching from Earth to Heauen Whereon their hourelie holie and deuoute desires like to so many blessed Angelles are continually ascending and descending For their Royall Soueraigne your Father his Queene your peerlesse Mother your sacred selfe and the rest of their illustrous race That vnpolluted soules may be euer about yee false harts or foule hands neuer to come neere yee but the Hoaste of Heauē alwayes to defend yee Heere could I wishe for such a copious braine and liberall plentie of Arte as might suffise to declare the Royall respect and affabilitie of the Prince not only to my Lord Maior and his Bretheren but to all the Companies in generall spreading his gracious acceptaunce of their loue and kindnes like to the large extended winges of Ioues Birde the Eagle euen ouer them all and standing in the dore of his Bardge he suffered no occasion to passe him but still it tooke holde of his grace and liking And thus they set on towards White Hall in so soft milde and gentle a pace as the very Thames appeared proude of this gallant burden swelling her breast to beare them with pompe and Majestie and not one wrinckle appeared in her brow but as plaine and euen as the smoothest yuorie Nor durst any rude storme peepe foorth his head or the leaste noyse of an vngentle winde stirre but all were whist and still as forgetfull of those vnciuill offices and ouercome with admiration of the dayes delight Beeing come neere White Hall the Bardges according to their qualitie and degree in order dignitie deuided themselues on either side to make a spacious passage for the Prince and his traine betweene them euen vntill they came neere to the Courte Bridge the Lord Majors Bardge being then the formoste and neerest Now the Prince being readie to land Amphion on his Dolphin saluteth him AMPION a graue and iudicious Prophet-like personage attyred in his apte habits euery way answerable to his state and profession with his wreathe of Sea-shelles on his head and his harpe hanging in fayre twine before him personating the Genius of Wales giueth the Prince this Farewell THE SPEECHE OF AMPHION ON a Dolphin ROyall PRINCE of Wales in this figure of Musicall Amphion vpon his Dolphin we personate the Carracter of Wales your Principalitie Who hauing with my faire Sister Corinea thus farre attended you on behalfe of Londons Lord Major his worthie Bretheren and this goodly Fleete of well affected Cittizens we are all now forced to an vnwilling departure See how our Streamers hang the head as lothe to leaue you Our Bardges lagge and seeme lumpishe as greeuing to forgoe you Our Trompets and other Musicks appeare tongue-lesse the worde of farewell is so offensiue to them And except you put spirit into them all with a gracious acceptaunce of this their loue and loyaltie the bosome of fayre Thames shrinkes and they feare swallowing But the Sunne of true-borne Majestie shines in your bright eye and your more serious affaires calling you hence speakes bothe your loue to them and liking of their humble dutie at their dismission Home againe then fayre Fleete you haue brought a Royall freight to landing such a burdē as hath made the Riuer not meanely proude to beare And since we must needs parte in our lowdest voyce of Drommes Trompets and Ordenaunce be this our last accent Long liue our Prince of Wales the Royall Henrie At which very instant off went the Chambers and such a triumphall noyse of Drommes and Trompets as made the very Ayre to Ecchoe which done they returned back to London agayne wherwith we conclude this sollemne dayes Triumphe Vpon the Sunday following fiue and twentie Knights of the Bathe were made by his Maiestie in honor of the Prince his Sonne and they all rode in their apte habits with their Squires and Pages from Durham house to White Hall to their no little praise and commendation On the Monday the King and all the Nobilitie going by water from the Courte to Westminster in the Courte of Requests which then was reputed as the Parliament house the Prince had his creation of Prince of VVales Duke of Rotchsaye Earle of Chester and Knight of the moste noble Order of the Garter with all the due ceremonies and vestures therto belonging his Maiestie himselfe girding on his Sworde Which being ended they returned in the like manner to the Courte againe In the euening of the same day it was expected that the water Fight Fire workes should haue bin perfourmed no meane multitude of people attending to see it· But whether by the violent storme of rayne or other appointment of his maiestie I knowe not albeit Protheus mounted on a Sea Monster had deliuered the intent of the deuise to his Highnesse yet was it deferred till the Wednesday following Vpon which day after a moste Royall and sumptuous Tilting the water fight was worthilie perfourmed and by such reporte as was thereof made to me thus it was ordered A Turkishe Pirate prowling on the Seas to maintaine a Turkishe Castle for so their Armes and Streamers described them both to be by his spoyle rapine of Merchants and other Passengers sculking abroade to finde a bootie he descried two Merchants Shippes the one whereof bearing to winde somewhat before her fellowe made the Pirate wafte her to strike sayle and come in which the Merchant either not regarding or no way fearing rode still boldely on The Pirate with drawen weapons and other menaces wafts her againe to vayle her bonnet but the Merchant still refusing the Pirate sends a commanding shott which the Merchant answered againe encouraged therto by her fellowe Merchant who by this time was come neere her and spake in like language with her to the Pirate When he perceiued his hope defeated and this bolde resistance returned he sent shot vpon shot very fiercely wherto they replyed as resoluedly so that betweene them grewe a verie fierce dangerous fight Wherein the Merchāts wexing to be somewhat distressed by reason that the Castle likewise often played vpon them two men of warre happening then to be neere made in to helpe and releeue their hard detriment And now the fighte grewe on all sides to be fierce indeed the Castle assisting the Pirate very hotly and the other withstanding brauely and couragiously diuers men appearing on either side to be slayne and hurlled ouer into the Sea as in such aduentures it often comes to passe where such sharpe assaultes are vsed indeed In conclusion the Merchants and men of warre after a long and well fought skirmish prooued too strong for the Pirate they spoylde bothe him and blewe vp the Castle ending the whole batterie with verie rare and admirable Fire-workes as also a worthie peale of Chambers FINIS Script Bri. cent 2.
