be transported into a forreine countrie shall the glorye of our greatnesse serue to the glory of the greatnesse of others Or shall we with drye eyes behould so sorrowfull and wofull a departure Is it true most Christian Quéene that you can abandon the goodly land of Tuscane your natiue countrie to passe into France shall the riuer Arnus for so many honors famous in whose armes you haue taken your birth with her quiet streame submit her glory or giue place to the rauenous or impeteous course of the riuer of Rhosne that expecteth you in those parts And shall the Tuscane Nimphes as vnfortunate Bées haue spent their time in framing and beautifying your spirit with vertue to the end their labours may serue to delight the taste of others through the swéetnesse of your behauiour and royall countenances Alas how grieuous is our condition O hard law of Himene which estranging young and tender Virgins from the houses of their parents and from the swéet presence and cherishings of their mothers dooth oftentimes lead them as banished persons into farre countries differing from their owne both in lawes manners language But procéede and goe most noble Quéene to the place where the

for vertue guideth you and fame goeth before you publishing your name with a fame of eternall remembrance making the day memorable wherein you did abandon Italy to passe into France go forth mery and glad to the place where euery man doth expect you with as great zeale and affection as euer princesse was expected For out of this famous and royall marriage euery one dooth hope of a famous issue of some inuinsible Heros with eternall peace not onely to the gallant King of France but also to all Europe The valiant Henry doth already looke for you who being the conquerer of so much people desireth in person to yéeld vp vnto you the glory of his victories to you I say who from all eternitie haue béene destined to be the conquerer of him Now doth he desire to behold not your portraiture but euen

assured to beholde a most Noble Kingdome a most fruitefull soyle a most courteous people a most strong and valliant nation and a limmitted liberty of all modestye Goe your wayes I saye merrilye to the place where they will offer to your name eternall sacrifices of haughty and singular mindes and where life is more lifelike then in any place of the world There shall you ●●…de the Indias for wealth happy Arabi●… for goodnesse of ayre and Arcadia and Olimpus for pleasures Oh how greatly and that iustly will the nimphes of diuers countries enuie you that were not able to diuert the magnaminious Henry from your loue as also could not all the fained coūtenances of flattery or the continuall subtilties practised by diuers to hinder this marriage that was first concluded in heauen and afterward approued and admired by men O most valiant king inuincible Prince you that haue so many yeares most gloriously béene the burden both of Ciuill and forraine warres so fortunatly laboured and swet in your armour beholde this is that fayre Nimph whome your famous poets replenished with diuine fury haue of long foretould to be reserued in heauen for you as the recompence of your labours trauailes and heroycall vertues the same who shall quiet your minde the same that in whose discretions and fidelitie you shall repose your most inward and secret cogitations who being your companion in your kingdome shall also accompany you in your fortunes adding to your glory a new lustre or brightnesse who by her fruitfulnesse shall cure the auncient woundes of your flourishing kingdome This is that beautifull and ritch crowne of felicitie and contentation that was to enuiron the royall head which for a last ornament hath iustly deserued to bee ioyned and referred to both your royall heads Happye therefore is that soyle that hath brought foorth so noble a plant neither is it any meruaile that others doe enuy her sithe her beauty and grace by vnusuall meanes doe striue among them Blessed was that most religious and most vertuous Mother that beautified the worlde with so worthye a daughter and had the heauens permitted her to sée that which at this day we doe beholde shée would most willingly haue departed this life Also you the most inuincible Heros or great Lordes of the Imperiall blond of Austrich that liue most happilye in the Elisian fields behoulding the happy offspring the yong branch of your most worthy line who borne and brought vp in Italy is going to take possession of the French Empire Behold your glorie shining more eminent then euer heretofore in thrée princes in these dayes discended out of the heauens as new Angels vnto the earth who by their Empire and consanguinitie doe imbrace in manner the whole worlde the most vertuous Mary the most religious Margaret

her comming to be mariageable and so highly married looke downe frō the place where thy vertues haue placed thée and beholde this new Quéene of thy glory and fulnesse of thy felicitie thou shalt sée

vertuous Quéene had so much spéech of you not onely in Italy and Germany but also in England Spaine with equall praise and enuie that your selfe haue béene the continuall subiect of all discourses holden within these ten yeares in all Imperiall royall courts whensoeuer they mentioned any great mariage neither doth there euen at this day any one passe the Alpes that part Italy and France but with great meruaile is inquisitiue euen among the common sort saying Is it I pray you true that the Princesse Mary is so fayre as it is saide Is she so gracious as the voice goeth And is it true that she shall be our Quéene Oh how happye for vs if this might come to passe so

should we thinke the losse of our goods and most precious things befallen vs in these our ciuill warres almost of fortye yeares continuance to be but small in regarde of the good that we are to hope for in so beautifull excellent and reuerent a mariage and this only not a woman but a goddesse should suffice to recouer all our calamities This your honourable fame and this generall desire of euery man runneth ouer the Alpes euen vnto the vttermost bounds of France neither is there Painter or Caruer of Images but with all industrie as of their Quéene doe indeuour to draw your image and portraiture to the perfection of his skill There is not so meane a man or howsoeuer poore but hath it in his house and as in time passed the Image of Augustus was worshipped in priuate houses euen so it was at this day Truly it is a great matter that in the conceipts of infinite persons there should be formed first y e Idea of some great matter to come from the which by like means the issue should be taken also that they cannot possibly be drawne frō this first conceipt vntill the occasion be fulfilled which afterward comming to light discouereth the trueth of the vniuersall iudgement The like hath hapned in you most vertuous Mary who being discended from kings grafted and allied to great kings and endued with royall conditions after the troublesome decease of King Henry the third were in the iudgement of all men marryed to the valient Henry of Bourbon Such a iudgement albeit assessed by man was notwithstanding the worke of God fatall from heauen who hauing cut off all so great hinderances which as the world knoweth séemed insuperable and crossed your present mariage haue now knit you in an indissoluble knot to the inuincible king of France These surely are miracles workes vnexpected effects whose causes are vnknowne to vs and testimonies that God hath alwayes a care of kings and Princes Well may you thinke that neither your fathers treasure neither the nobility of your blood neither your great estates which the king néedeth not but the only fame of your vertues of your graces of your Christian pitty of your beauty did induce this great king to aske you in mariage who had no want of swéete and flattering Syrens or store of crafty Cyrces which in diuers sorts raised loue warres against him and laid siege to ouercome him yet he firme and constant as a rocke against the billowes and waues of the sea would neuer change neither will euer alter his minde much lesse now when hauing séene your presence to surpasse and excéed the report he shal be forced to rest entangled in your gracious lookes his most generous agents that so laboured you for his wife shall now reuerence you for the chiefest and greatest Quéen in Christendome as you are and be content to surrender all their desires to your present glory Thus haue the heauens alwaies and in time fit and conuenient béen liberall of their fauours to a vertuous and innocent Princesse Yéeld therfore perpetuall praise to God and thanke the wisdom and more then fatherly piety of your vnckle Don Ferdinando the great duke towards you Commend the goodnesse and exemplary life of that great Christiā rather in déed thē name out of whose mariage yours was deuided as out of great things greater are formed For in these young yeares of your tender age you were by them so brought vp and trained in vertue Christian piety that the most Christian king mooued and enflamed with the report of your name craued you in mariage Oh happy couple O most glorious mariages O memorable coniunction most glorious fruits which we expect from you I do already behold neither am I deceiued a most noble line issuing from you which spredding the French name ouer the whole world shall plant an other Gallo-gretia an other Celtiberi● in the farthest parts of the East your selues shall hencefoorth be a sufficient ground for all writers grauers and Painters to employ themselues in their exercises You shall minister occasion of spéech both publick priuate both in deuoute and seculer places euery man still will talke of your actions of your maners and of your iestures yea many times will they say Thus said great Quéen Mary Thus did she Thus shall you liue immortall in the memory of mortall men with the true titles of honor glorie neither feined nor begged Go therfore foorth and continue your iourney most Christian Quéen proud of the most worthy troop of so many Princes Princesses most noble Kntghts Gentlemen that waite vpon you of so many soules which accompany you with their vowes prayers vnto God for your prosperous iourney fruitfulnesse but farre more of Angels into whose tuition our good God hath cōmitted you And you most happy Tisi that carriest so great a Quéene feare thou

for your comming What shall we then do that haue nurssed and brought you vp shall we by our slacknesse séeme to enuie Prouince or rather all France in their ioy shall we dislike your contentment glory oh God forbid Nay rather as in the beginning of my spéech I aduised you most vertuous Tuscan to haue your recourse to sighes sobs and sorrowfull lamentations for her departure so now being come againe to my selfe hauing ouercome sorrow I thinke it more necessary that we reioyce with her to whome Italy being but a small matter the king of heauen hath giuen the fairest kingdom togither with the mightest king Christian to be her spouse husband because her glory is our glory Feare not that her far iourney shall euer blot out of her minde the loue that she beareth vs or suppresse the memorie of the sacrifice of our harrs which we haue already so long since offered vnto her For such a heauenly substance as she is is not subiect to times or
