Bristoll flocking came Whereas her Gracious Maiestie their kindnesse to requite In open view her selfe did shew to all the peoples sight It weare too long for to rehearse the braue pastime and sport Which by the Citizens were made for to delight her Court Their loue by proffered seruice shewen to guard her Maiestie But mine intent is to conclude each thing with breuity And for to imitate aright in this the curious Sunne Simile Who doth intend for her delight a Nosegay sweet to frame Shee crops not rudely of those hearbes on which she seaseth first But doth select the rarest sort reiecting those are worst Like so few words will beautifie what doth from truth proceed For too much matter Pell-mell mixt doth a confusion breed Wise Caliepie Queene of Eloquence assist my stammering tongue To finish this triumphant shew which now I haue begun Lest that my Muse for want of aide vnder her burden fall As Vines vnpropped oftentimes vpon the ground doe crall No sooner had swift Phaebus steeds beganne their course to runne Sunday Shining with most resplendant rayes vpon our Horrison But that each Souldier did prepare to guard her Maiestie Vnto the temple of the Lord with great solemnity Not clad in armes as earst they weare with thundering shot that ror'd But with good harts to sanctifie the sabboth of the Lord Who hath sixe dayes allotted vs to purchase worldly wealth The seauenth alone he hath reseru'd for good of our soules health That we this day might praise his name and rest our selues from sinne As God did rest when he had made the world and all therein Quite from the Court vnto the Church this worthy guard was seene In ranckes close standing one by one to safe conduct the Queene But when the Mayor graue and wise in most triumphant sort With all the reuerend Councell came on foote vnto the Court In seemely wise attired all with gownes of Scarlet dye For to attend vnto the Church her gracious Maiestie Who mounted like faire Cinthia bright into her sumptuous Coach Drawen by foure milke-white coursers braue and next her did approach The Ladies on their trampling steeds like faire Diana's traine Hunting in the Arcadian woods as doe the Poets faine Formost of all in their degrees vnto the Church did goe The reuerend Senate two and two all marching on a row Lastly on foote before her grace with all her Noble traine Of Lords and Knights into the Church the worthy Mayor came The Queene then set in chaire of state with all the residue In their degrees the Mayor and Shriefes and the Nobilitie Where learned Docter ROBSON did a godly Sermon frame In setting forth Gods mighty workes and lauding of his name Which Sermon being finished she backe return'd to Court Guarded a long from Church againe in most triumphant sort The reuerend Mayor and the Shriefes their loue for to expresse Did feast with most delitious cheare and dainties numberlesse Her Noble traine who did admire as though Earth Ayre and Sea Withall their dainties had conspir'd Bristoll to dignifie Whose true affection to her Prince and peerelesse Progenie Doth rest vnparagond as yet vnto posterity With their true loue set forth in part before the worlds bright eye Their hearts their hands their life their lands to please her Maiestie And to content her Princely grace shall euermore be prest For whose most heauenly guifts diuine we from aboue are blest By mighty Ioue who through his loue hath sent vs such a King That turnes our blustring winters blasts into a gladsome spring Deere mother England with salt teares bend thou thine aged knee And render thankes vnto thy God who hath deliuered thee When most vndoubted was thy feare then did he comfort bring Shrouding thee safe from Tigers pawes with his all-couering wing For what a terrour had it beene vnto thine heart to see Through sodaine strife thy streetes exempt from popularity When children fatherlesse each where should in the streetes be found Thy fathers childlesse sighing sore and in deepe dolours drown'd Thy trusty friends bereau'd of life sisters rapt from the brother No kinsman left for to lament or to inter each other Thy Virgins bath'd in teares thy youth amaz'd themselues to see Through griefe of heart bereft of strength and of validity Thy lofty towers tumbled downe as in the Romains ire Ierusalem was brought to ground by famine sword and fire But since that God hath now vouchsaft not for our merits sake But of his mercy and great loue these iudgments iust to take From vs who haue by sinne deserued to taste the bitter cup Fild with the dregges of Gods iust wrath and for to drinke it vp Let vs giue thankes to God therefore that nought but thankes doth craue Who hath vs rais'd from death to life as Lazarus from graue Continuing still vnto our ioy the perfect Lampe of light His sacred word our spirituall food and heauenly soules delight Now bloudy Mars is tied in chaines with fierce Bellena bound His armes and Adamantine coate lies rusting on the ground Grizely Thanattos who did still his gastly steps attend Hath lost his stinging force and might by bondage of his friend Harsh discord thirsting after bloud with sweet concord is drown'd Whiles peace with plenty in our streetes doth euery where abound Now may the Lambes securely feed from Wolfe and Tigers clawes Since Pan our watchfull Shepheard hath shut vp these monsters iawes For all these benefits therefore receiued by our King We will expresse our thankfulnesse and loue wee owe to him And to his royall Progeny vnto our Soueraigne Queene Whose like throughout the worlds vast bounds cannot againe be seene But soft my Muse let Ancors fall strike sailes thy swift course stay Welcome to shore remember that this is a Sabboth day What twixt Euterpes mirth and sad Melpemens tragicke stile Thy sences luld thou hadst almost spleeted thy barke ere-while Vpon the rocke Obliuion cal'd moreouer harke giue eare Mundayes triumph implores thine ayde to make his fame appeare Varietie and change doth best content mans appetite Each obiect faire seemes fowle if still presented to our sight Sweet Orpheus musicke cloyes our eares if that it common be Our nature is so apt and prone to mutability By good aduice therefore it was prouided that her Grace With all her traime might not dislike their tarying in this place For euery day shee soiourn'd here in most triumphant sort A seuerall pastime was ordain'd for to delight her Court And as at her first entrance here she did with ioy behold A martiall troupe of warlike men of courage stout and bould Like so for Mundaies pastime was prepared for her sight Betwixt two gallies and a ship a bloudy water fight But yet a while I must looke backe ere farther I proceede Least that my Muse should taxed be for too too hasty speede This water fight by fame diuulg'd full many a thousand drew Both farre and neere for to behold and
