The city of London, not to be confused with the allegorical character (London).

(LOND5.xml) Westminster Information is not yet available. (WEST6.xml) Baynard’s Castle

Located on the banks of the Thames, Baynard’s Castle was built sometime in the late eleventh century by Baynard, a Norman who came over with William the Conqueror (Weinreb and Hibbert 129). The castle passed to Baynard’s heirs until one William Baynard, who by forfeyture for fellonie, lost his Baronie of little Dunmow (Stow 1:61). From the time it was built, Baynard’s Castle was the headquarters of London’s army until the reign of Edward I when it was handed over to the Dominican Friars, the Blackfriars whose name is still commemorated along that part of the waterfront (Hibbert 10).

(BAYN1.xml) Bermondsey Abbey

According to Stow, Bermondsey Abbey dates back to the eleventh century. It was surrendered to Henry VIII in 1539 and subsequently demolished to be replaced with houses (Stow 1598, sig. Z4v).

(BERM3.xml) St. Paul’s Cathedral

St. Paul’s Cathedral was—and remains—an important church in London. In 962, while London was occupied by the Danes, St. Paul’s monastery was burnt and raised anew. The church survived the Norman conquest of 1066, but in 1087 it was burnt again. An ambitious Bishop named Maurice took the opportunity to build a new St. Paul’s, even petitioning the king to offer a piece of land belonging to one of his castles (Times 115). The building Maurice initiated would become the cathedral of St. Paul’s which survived until the Great Fire of London.

Commemorative pageant book prepared for the inauguration of Sir James Pemberton as Lord Mayor of London on October 29, 1611. Pageants coordinated by Anthony Munday on behalf of the Worshipful Company of the Goldsmiths. Book printed by William Jaggard. Diplomatic transcription prepared by the MoEML Team.

The Julian calendar, in use in the British Empire until September 1752. This calendar is used for dates where the date of the beginning of the year is ambigious.

The Julian calendar with the calendar year regularized to beginning on 1 January.

The Julian calendar with the calendar year beginning on 25 March. This was the calendar used in the British Empire until September 1752.

The Gregorian calendar, used in the British Empire from September 1752. Sometimes referred to as New Style (NS). Years run from January 1 through December 31.

The Anno Mundi (year of the world) calendar is based on the supposed date of the creation of the world, which is calculated from Biblical sources. At least two different creation dates are in common use. See Anno Mundi (Wikipedia).

Regnal dates are given as the number of years into the reign of a particular monarch. Our practice is to tag such dates with @calendar="regnal", and provide an equivalent date using a more systematic calendar (usually Julian) in a custom dating attribute.

Most MoEML documents, or significant fragments with @xml:id attributes, can be addressed using the mol: prefix and accessed through the web application with their id + .xml.

The molagas prefix points to the shape representation of a location on MoEML’s OpenLayers3-based rendering of the Agas Map.

Links to page-images in the Chadwyck-Healey Early English Books Online (EEBO) repository. Note that this is a subscription service, and may not be accessible to those accessing it from locations outside member institutions.

Links to page-images in the English Broadside Ballad Archive (EBBA).

The mdt (MoEML Document Type) prefix used on <catRef>/@target points to a central taxonomy in the includes file.

The mdtlist (MoEML Document Type listing) prefix used in linking attributes points to a listings page constructed from a category in the central MDT taxonomy in the includes file. There are two variants, one with the plain @xml:id of the category, meaning all documents in the specified category, and one with the suffix _subcategories, meaning all subcategories of the category.

The molgls (MoEML gloss) prefix used on <term>/@corresp points to a a glossary entry in the GLOSS1.xml file.

This molvariant prefix is used on <ref>/@target attributes during automated generation of gazetteer index files. It points to an element in the generated variant spellings listing file which lists all documents which contain a particular spelling variant for a location.

This molajax prefix is used on <ref>/@target attributes during the static build process, to specify links which point to MoEML resources which should not be loaded into the source page during standalone processing; instead, these should be turned into links to the XML source documents, and at HTML page load time, these should be turned into AJAX calls. This is to handle the scenario in which a page such as an A-Z index of the whole site would end up containing virtually the whole site inside itself.

The molstow prefix is used on @facs attributes to link to the HCMC verison of the Stow facsimiles. Usually the first group is the year (1633) and then last is the image number (0001).

The molshows prefix is used on @facs attributes to link to the copies of page-images from mayoral shows stored in the london account on the HCMC server. The first group is the year (1633), the second is the source repository, and then last is the image file name.

The sb prefix is used on <ref>/@target attributes to link to Stow’s Books URLs at UToronto.

These digital editions are diplomatic transcriptions. Our goal has been to provide clean, readable TEI transcriptions of all the extant mayoral shows from 1585 to 1639. Because this corpus has never before been made available in one place, we provide XML base texts that other scholars can repurpose according to our Creative Commons Licence.

MoEML transcriptions of the mayoral shows are based intially on the EEBO-TCP transcriptions. A MoEML research assistant or contributing scholar has carefully checked the TCP transcription at least once against the EEBO images (and sometimes against the Early English Books I microfilms when the film is clearer). We silently correct errors in TCP transcriptions and fill in many of the gaps left by TCP transcribers. When we make surmises about characters or supply characters in places where the text has been cropped, damaged, overinked, or underinked, we record our supplied values using <supplied>. The transcription is checked again by another MoEML research assistant, and finally by the Project Director or Assistant Project Director. Users may report transcription errors via the Send Feedback link on each page.

We treat title pages, dedications, and prefaces as front matter, encoded with the <front> element. We treat speeches, narrative descriptions, and interpretations as the body of the text, encoded with the <body> element. We treat colophons and concluding statements, including the word Finis, as back matter, encoded with the <back> element.

Normalizationmethod: silent:

Our practice has been to preserve most of the typographical, orthographical, and compositorial features of the original text. We use CSS styling to describe the peculiarities of font and justification. We also include links to the page images on EEBO; users who subscribe to EEBO may thus view the pages at any point and judge our transcription thereof for themselves.

Our encoders follow these rules for preserving or regularizing the text: Textual Component Rule Long ſ

TCP transcriptions do not preserve the long ſ. We have restored the long ſ through a series of find-and-replace functions based on typical early modern printing house habits, followed by a careful human checking against the digital images of the original.

 Capitalization

We preserve the capitalization of the source, including the second upper-case letter after a woodblock dropped capital.

 Italicization

We preserve the italicization of words by tagging them with a <hi> element with a @style value of "font-style: italic;". We consider italicization to be a bibliographic code rather than a linguistic code.

 Interchangeable Characters

We retain the interchangeable u/v and i/j and the use of vv for w. These are not marked up with any encoding.

 Ligatures

We retain the vowel digraphs using the appropriate Unicode characters (e.g., æ). Typographical ligatures (e.g., fl) have been silently expanded.

 Nasal Tildes

We retain the nasal tilde over vowels (e.g., õ) using the appropriate Unicode characters.

 Spacing Within Lines

MoEML closes up extra spaces between words and punctuation marks. However, we retain the spacing in authorial initials, such as A. M. (for Anthony Munday). We have added a single space after a comma when the comma has been used to separate two words.

 Lineation

MoEML preserves the line breaks in verse sections and the line wrapping in prose sections of mayoral shows. Prose line breaks have been encoded with a self-closing <lb> element. All line breaks in verse are produced by the use of <l> elements contained by <lg> elements.

 Hyphenation

MoEML transcriptions of mayoral shows preserve the hyphenation of words, both within and at the end of lines.

 Quotation Marks

All quotation marks are retained in the text and are represented by appropriate Unicode characters. We do not use the <quote> element for quotations in primary-source texts. MoEML practice calls for curly apostrophes and straight double quotation marks in both transcriptions and born-digital texts.

Interpretation:

We have interpreted and encoded toponyms, names, and dates. The encoding of toponyms requires some research to point the toponym to the right location file (and thence to the map), but the relative stability of the processional route has meant that we have high confidence in our encoding of toponyms in the mayoral shows. When our encoding has veered into interpretation, such as in our decision to encode abstract nouns as allegorical characters even when it is not completely clear that the abstraction is embodied by an actor, we have encoded with the goal of building analytical capacity into our texts, such as the capacity for users to search for characters like Time across the corpus of mayoral shows. For our treatment of early modern dates, see our encoding instructions at Encode Dates. Other than toponyms, names, and dates, we have undertaken no interpretative encoding.

Our editorial and encoding practices are documented in detail in the Praxis section of our website.

Author A person or organization chiefly responsible for the intellectual or artistic content of a work, usually printed text. This term may also be used when more than one person or body bears such responsibility. MoEML uses the term author to designate a contributor who is wholly or partly responsible for the original content of either a born-digital document, such as an encyclopedia entry, or a primary source document, such as a MoEML Library text. Editor A person or organization who prepares for publication a work not primarily their own, such as by elucidating text, adding introductory or other critical matter, or technically directing an editorial staff. MoEML uses the term editor to designate a person who creates a modern edition of a work based on one of our encoded diplomatic transcriptions of a primary source. We use the term commentator to designate a person who adds editorial or explanatory notes to one of our diplomatic transcriptions. Markup editor A person or organization performing the coding of SGML, HTML, or XML markup of metadata, text, etc. MoEML uses the code mrk both for the primary encoder(s) and for the person who edits the encoding. MoEML’s normal workflow includes a step whereby encoders check each other’s work. We use the term encoder to designate the principal encoder, and markup editor to designate the person who checks the encoding. Project director A person or organization with primary responsibility for all essential aspects of a project, or that manages a very large project that demands senior level responsibility, or that has overall responsibility for managing projects, or provides overall direction to a project manager. MoEML’s Project Director directs the intellectual and scholarly aspects of the project, consults with the Advisory and Editorial Boards, and ensures the ongoing funding of the project. Proofreader A person who corrects printed matter. MoEML uses the term proofreader to designate a contributor who checks a transcription against an original document, or a person who corrects formatting and typographical errors in a born-digital article. Note that we use the term markup editor to designate a person who proofreads and corrects encoding. Programmer A person or organization responsible for the creation and/or maintenance of computer program design documents, source code, and machine-executable digital files and supporting documentation. MoEML uses the term programmer to designate a person or organization responsible for the creation and/or maintenance of computer program design documents, source code, and machine-executable digital files and supporting documentation. Printer A person or organization who prints texts, whether from type or plates. MoEML uses the term printer to designate the person named as the printer on the title page of a primary source text, or the person identified by scholars as the printer (e.g., in the English Short Title Catalogue database). In early modern printing practice, the roles of printer, bookseller, and publisher might coincide in one person, or be performed by different people. Transcriber A person who prepares a handwritten or typewritten copy from original material, including from dictated or orally recorded material. MoEML uses the term transcriber to designate the person or organization that transcribes a primary source. In the case of EEBO-TCP transcribers, we do not know the names of the transcribers. Acceptable names for this role are transcriber, first transcriber (often the EEBO-TCP transcriber), or MoEML transcriber.

Chruſo-thriambos.The Triumphs of Golde.

THE ancient Romaines, who were the firſt Creators of Conſuls and Senators for publike rule and honorable gouernment, 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 eeſtaulmentenſtaulment of Sir Iames Pemberton, Knight and Alderman, in the high and eminent Office of Londons Maioraltie. For the better effecting wherof, 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.

other Companies towards Weſtminſter; ſuppoſition muſt needes giue ſome gracefull help to inuention; and be 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, Chioriſon the Golden King, with Tumanama his peereleſſe Queene, are (at their owne entreaty) 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 are 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 Gold and Siluer, 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 triumphall 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 Chruſo-thriambos.

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 Bayliffes, 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 KingRichards 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.

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 illuſtrate 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, accor

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 all Gold, Siluer, Minerall, and other Mettals) and ſeate her in the cheefeſt Soueraignety.In a rhetorical sleight of hand, Munday equates the distinct literary characters of Chthoon, Justice, Terra and Vesta. We have chosen to encode these as distinct characters, but in this pageant, they are all embodied by the same actor and conflated into a single character. On her right hand ſits Chruſos, Gold, her eldeſt Daughter, and Argurion, Siluer; the youngeſt, richly ſuted, according to their ſeuerall Natures and qualities. After a ſuppoſed long and tedious iourney, which all 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 ſufficed 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, faſtened in

On them alſo doe attend two beautifull Ladies, Philoponia and Mnemæ, Antiquity and Memory, who make diſcouery of Empeiria, or graue Experience in the Golde-Smiths auncient profeſſion, by the imagined Carracter of learned Dunstane, who beeing Biſhop of Worceſter, London, and Arch-Biſhoppe of Canterbury, had no little delight in the Art of Gold-Smithery, and ſhewes himſelfe now (as then) acting that profeſſion.

The Emblemes going before this Orferie, a Mare-man, and Mare-Maide (each quartered with a golden Vnicorne) doe 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.

IF it ſeeme ſtrange vnto you (Honourable and worthy Lorde) that in this manner I preſume to ſalute yee; the Iustice of the preſent cauſe, and the Suffrages due to ſuch daies of Triumph, ſhall inſtantly yeild 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 regard that thoſe daies 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, Prouoſts, and Bayliffes, were Londons firſt Magiſtrates, and (of Prouoſts) I the firſt, beeing named Leofſtane, and a Golde-Smith by my profeſſion, as the powerfull commaund that raiſed mee 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 ſollemne 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 Enemies or rude diſturbers, but peacefull to all her friendly louers. Then Honorable Lord, and Brother Gold-Smith, ſeeing Time priuately tels me, that hee hath further imployment for me in this your day of Triumphe, as beſt occaſion ſhall giue way thereto: heere endes my first ſalutations to your ſelfe, and theſe graue Senators your worthy Bretheren, who (in my time) were ſtyled by the Name of Domeſ-men, Elder-men, or Iudges of the Kinges Courts, and were then aſſiſtant to me, in care, councell, and fatherly prouidence, for this Citties good, as theſe reuerend men haue bin to others, and now wil be the like to you. And ſo I leaue ye to your further progreſſion.

B2 The Chruſo-thriambos. Leofstane, I charge thee ſtay. What art thou, that dar’ſt bar me of my way? 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; tis he, that dares compell thy ſtay. 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 grau’d Ghoſts dare thus contend with (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 Chruſo-thriambos. 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 mawmerry 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 Portgraues, 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, Henrie Fitz-Alwine, Fitz-Leofſtane,Although Munday here says that the first lord mayor of London was Henry Fitz-Alwine, Fitz-Leofstane, a Goldsmith, in his later pageant Himatia-Poleos (1614), he claims that Stow misled him and that the first lord mayor was Henry Fitz-Alwine, a Draper. However Munday is inconsistent within Himatia-Poleos and the guild identification of London’s first lord mayor is thus the source of much confusion. 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 B3 Of Chruſo-thriambos. 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 re-(ſpect. Fiue yeares (each after other) till 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 yeares & three, the L.Lord Maiors ſway Hath held in London, vnder their commaund: Who ſtill aſſignde that office to their hand. How many Gold-Smiths haue enioyed the place, Were needleſſe to recount. Yet here ſleepes one, Whom in this vrging, 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 well omit, Becauſe I thinke him for this Triumph fit. Theſe gates he built, this ward of him took name, And three and fifty yeares he did ſuruiue After his firſt being Maior. What plenty 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. AStoniſhment and frightfull wonder, Shakes and ſplits my Soule in ſunder. Can- Chruſo-thriambos. Cannot Graues containe their dead, Where long they haue lien buried; But to Triumphs, ſports, and ſhowes They muſt be raiſde? Alacke, God knowes, They count their quiet ſlumber bleſt, Free from diſturbance, and vnreſt. I know it well good man. Yet looke about, And recollect thy ſpirits, free from feare, Note what thou ſeeſt. How? Whence, or where May I ſuppoſe my ſelfe? Well I wot, (If Faringdon miſtake it not) That ancient famous Cathedrall, Hight the Church of bleſſed Paule. And that this Warde witneſſe can, Once thereof I was Alderman, And gaue it mine owne proper name. I build theſe Gates, the very ſame. But when I note this goodly traine, (Yclad in Scarlet) it ſhould ſayen (And ſoothlie too) that theſe are they: Who watch for London night and day, Graue Magiſtrates; Of which faire band, (When ſecond Edward ſwayed this Land;) Foure ſeuerall times the chiefe was I, And Lord of Londons Maioraltie. As by the bearing of that Sword, It ſeemes that you are Londons Lord: To whom becomes me louteI.e., bow. full low, Old duty yet (me thinkes) I know. Turne Chruſo-thriambos. Turne now thy Glaſſe to inſtant day, And let old Faringdon thee pray: Good Time, reſolue him, what is he, Grac’d with this day of Dignitie? A Brother of the Gold-Smiths Company, Whoſe vertues, worth, and ſpeciall loue of all, Hath raiſd vnto this high authority. Moreouer, note, how fit his lot doth fall, That time ſhould likewiſe at this inſtant call, A Sheriffe of the ſame Society: To beare a part in this Solemnity. See how the Bretheren of that worthy band, Abound in loue and liberality; To grace this Iouiall day; On tip-toe ſtand Their iocond Spirits: Ioying mutually, In Maior and Sheriffe of their Company. How can thy Ghoſt then, but reioyce to ſee: This honour of thine owne Society? Ioy and gladſome iouiſſance, Doth old Faringdon in-trance, To heare the tale that Time hath told, Since thoſe reuerend daies of old, Vnto this great Solemnity, For Brethren of my Company. Glad and golden be your daies, Liue in Prince and peoples praiſe: Honour London with your care, Study ſtill for her welfare: And as Gold-Smiths both you are, Such good and golden deeds prepare, That Chruſo-thriambos. That may renowne our Myſtery, To times of vtmoſt memory. My minute cals, and Ghoſts muſt go. Yet loath I am to leaue ye ſo. For I could well ſpend out this day, And doe what ſeruice elſe I may; Were Time but pleaſde that I might ſtay. Time, that in this daies honour raiſde vs both, Meanes not (I truſt) ſo ſoone to ſunder vs: To ſee that ſeparation, I am loath, Be then to both ſo kind and gracious; That we may waite vpon this worthy man: And do him yet what ſeruice elſe we can. You haue your owne deſires. Goe Faringdon, There in that Chariot is thy place preparde: Heere, I (as Coach man) meane to guide yee on, So long as well our reſpit may be ſparde. On then, away, for we haue held ye long: And done (I doubt) your worthy Gueſts great (wrong.

HEere, my Lord, my charge was limited, to deſcribe this rich and beautious Monument vnto yee, with all relations thereto appertaining. But Time hath told me, that Gueſts of great State and Honour are come to feaſt with you, and the leaſt delay now, may be both offenſiue, and troubleſom; therefore it is referred to more apt conueniency, when wee (with much better leyſure) may attend yee.

C Leof- Chruſo-thriambos.

THis Orferie, ſo ſtyled by the auncient Epithite of your Companies profeſſion, or Gold-Smithery, doth ſpeake it ſelfe vnto your honor in this manner. Heere doe the Miners and Pioners delue into the Earths entrailes, to gaine the Oare, both of Gold and Siluer, and hauing attained thereunto in plentifull meaſure, the ingenious Fyner purgeth him from his firſt Nature, and ſhapes him into Ingots of variable forme, according as his Art beſt guids and enſtructs him. From him, theſe precious Mettals deſcend to diuers other dexterious Artezans; as the Mint-Maiſter, his Coyners, and diuers others, who make them to ſerue in publike paſſage for generall benefit, both in Coyne, Plate, and Iewels, as occaſion beſt diſcouereth the iuſt neceſſitie. Beeing brought into theſe variant ſubſtances, to preſerue thoſe pure refined bodies from baſe adulterating, the Eſsay-Maiſter or abſolute Tryer of eythers vertue, makes proofe of them in his Furnaces, and of their true worth or value. So are they commended to Soueraigne Iustice, attended by her gracious Daughters, Golde and Siluer, who bountifully hurle abroad their Mothers treaſures, after ſhe hath (yet once againe) tried them, by the Touch of vndeceiueable perfection. The reſt, that do ſufficiently ſpeake themſelues in their diſtinguiſhed places, as the Ieweller, Lapidarie, Pearle-Driller, Golde-Smith, and ſuch like, your

eye Chruſo-thriambos.

eye of heedefull obſeruation may ſpare their further relating. Onely I may not omit theſe two vertuous Ladies, Antiquity and Memory, who, preſent (in apt place) Graue Iudgement or Experience in the Golde-Smiths ancient facultie, by the ſuppoſed ſhape of venerable Dunſtane, a man, ſometime very practique, & ſo well skild in Gold-Smithery, as (notwithſtanding his more Diuine profeſſion) being Biſhop of Worceſter, London, and laſtly Arch-Biſhop of Canterbury, delighted therein to his vtmoſt date of life.

So much for that; There Leofſtane make a pauſe, Till Time haue certified this honoured Lord Concerning theſe faire Emblemes, And the cauſe Of their combining in this kind accord. The Argument doth inſtantly affoord, The ancient loue and cordiall amity Between the Fiſhmongers & Gold-Smiths Com- (pany. At Feaſts and ſolemne meetings, on each ſide, A Fiſh-Monger and Gold-Smith, hand in hand Haue long time gone, and nothing could deuide The rare continuance of that louing band: Which (doubtleſſe) to the end of time will ſtand. And therefore, theſe Impreſes are thus borne: The ones Fiſh, with the others Vnicorne. Yet let no cenſure ſtray ſo far at large, To thinke the reaſon of that vnity Makes Fiſh-Mongers ſupport the Gold-Smithes(charge, And their expences ſhared equally: No, ti’s the Gold-Smiths ſole Society. C2 That Chruſo-thriambos. That in this Triumph beares the Purſſe for all: As theirs the like, when like their lot doth fall. Their loues (herein) may not be thought the leſſe, But rather virtuall, and much ſtronger knit, That each to other may the ſame expreſſe, When honour (in each Science) makes men fit On ſuch a Seat of Dignity to ſit. Then Peters Keies, with Dauids Cup of Golde May freely march together, vncontroulde. Now, as cuſtome wils it ſo, On to Paules Church muſt ye goe, To bleſſe God for this bounteous day. Till you returne, heere will we ſtay, And vſher then a gladſome guilding, Home to the place of your abiding. For ſuch is your kind Bretherens will: And Time hath tyed vs therevntill.

THus (honoured Lord) haue wee dutiouſly attended ye, till Time appointeth our departing, who hath tutourd Leofſtanes tongue how to take his leaue, with ſome remarkeable obſeruations, not altogether vnfitting your attention. Firſt, the day of your Election, falling out in ſuch ſtrange manner as it did, exceeded the memory of Man to ſpeake the like. And yet, notwithſtanding, ſo great a Snow, Sleete, and rough winde; at the very inſtant of your choyce, the Sunne did as readily

thruſt Chruſo-thriambos.

thruſt foorth his Golden beames, to guilde the inſtant of your Inauguration, as harts and hands did cheerefully applaud it with free and full confirmation. Next, three Names, all of equall ſillables and ſound, to happen in the immediate choice; is a matter deſeruing regard, and (from the Maioralties firſt beginning) neuer was the like. Pemberton, Swynnerton, and Middleton, Names of three moſt worthy Gentlemen, but of much greater worth in ſence and ſignificancie, as your own (my Lord, for breuitie) may yeilde an inſtance. Pemberton deriues it ſelfe from the auncient Brittiſh, Saxon, and eldeſt Engliſh, each Sillable ſuted with his apt meaning. Pem, implyeth the Head, cheefe or moſt eminent part of any thing; Bert, beareth the Charracter of bright ſhining and radiant ſplendour; and Tun, hath continued the long known Word for any Towne or Citty, as moſt Shires in England (to this day) dooth deliuer the expreſſion of their Townes; As London, ſometime tearmed Ludstun, or Luds-Towne, may ſervue as an example. A bright head of this famous Citty, interpreting it ſelfe in the Name of Pemberton, and he being enſtaulled in the gouernment, to bee her bright-ſhining Head vnder his Soueraigne, Leofſtanes desire is;

Since Pemberton doth beare ſo bright a Name, And that from gold & Goldſmiths grew his fame, His deedes may prooue to be like burniſht Golde: By no dim darkneſſe any way controulde. C3 Time. Chruſo-thriambos. Well haſt thou wiſht, therein Time ioynes with (thee, And tels this Lord, that ſuch a goodly name, Requires bright actions, from pollution free, In word and deede to be alike, the ſame, For then life ſtandeth on her faireſt frame. And when the Head in ſplendour ſeems deuine, The people learne (by his cleare light) to ſhine. Contrariwiſe, obſcure and miſty deedes, Do giue a harſh and hatefull preſident: And of faire flowers begetteth ſtinking Weedes. For ill example, harmes the innocent; And makes him (in bad life) as violent. Be to this Citty then, ſo bright an Head, That all may ſay, it nere more flouriſhed. Conſider likewiſe, Iames thy gracious King, Sets Iames (his Subiect) heere his Deputy. When Maieſte doth meaner perſons bring To repreſent himſelfe in Soueraignty, I’ſt not an high and great authority? Let it be ſaid, for this high fauour done: King Iames hath found, a iuſt Iames Pemberton. Let me not now thy Bretherens loue omit, So worthily (this day) to thee declarde, If with like loue thou kindly welcome it, Their hope is to the higheſt pitch preferde, For thus they wiſh, as Time himſelfe hath heard: That Pemberton, and Smithes, may both be, An endleſſe honour to their Company. Faringdon. Chruſo-thriambos. So wiſh I too, with all my hart, And ſeeing now we needs muſt part, From Faringdon one farewell take, Who giues it for the Gold-Smiths ſake. You are Lieutenant to your King, And tis a very worthy thing, To minde Gods bleſsing, and his grace, That brought yee to ſo high a place. Oh ſoyle it not with any blame, That, may impeach it, or your name. For they haue told ye well before, That whereof I need ſpeake no more: You are a Gold-Smith, Golden be Your daily deedes of Charitie. Golden your hearing poore mens caſes, Free from partiall bribes embraces. And let no rich or mighty man Iniure the poore, if helpe you can. The World well wots, your former care Forbids ye now to pinch or ſpare, But to be liberall, francke, and free, And keepe good Hoſpitality, Such as beſeemes a Maioraltie, Yet far from prodigality. To be too lauiſh, is like crime As being too frugall in this time. I ſay no more, but God defend ye, Many daies of comfort ſend ye, To whom (with all theſe) I commend ye. FINIS.
