They have moſt bountifull expreſt at large,
And London in theſe Triumphs is renownd
Above all cities in the worlds wide Round:
For no Kings Deputy, or Magiſtrate
Is with ſuch pompous ſtate inaugurate,
As Londons Mayor is, which moſt plainly ſhowes
The Kings illuſtrious greatneſſe whence it flowes;
To whom then ſhould my dedication run,
But unto you, for whom theſe things were done?
Your power is Londons watch-towre to eſpie,
Dangers far off, and perills that are nigh:
Your foreſight muſt ſee much, and it is plaine,
Millions of eyes will looke on you againe,
For envy and detraction pries and ſtares
T’aſſault true honour, and t’intrap in ſnares
All that is good, for it is manifeſt
That envie alwaies feeds upon the beſt.
This citie (the Kings Chamber) muſt be kept
Cleane for his uſe, from foule pollution ſwept,
And ſure, that power that hath you thus advanc’d,
To be thus honour’d, lov’d and countenanc’d,
Will ever be your portion, and content,
And governe you in this your government.
That you (at helme) a ſteddy courſe may ſteare

Then Muſes, Graces, Arts, the praiſe ſhall ſing

Know worthy Troop, that I great Thetis am,
Who (hearing of theſe Triumphs) hither came
From th’Azure court of my moſt deepe Abyſſe
To grace my faireſt daughter Thamiſis,
I every twelve houres, by this Child of mine,
Do ſend your ſilks and velvets, oyle, and wine,
Gold, ſilver, Jewels, fiſh, ſalt, ſundry ſpices,
Fine and courſe linnen, druggs of divers prices:
What every Realme or climate can produce,
I ſee it ſafe tranſported for your uſe.
Thus from the boſome of the Deepe my floods
(By Thames) doe every Tyde ſend up your goods,
For which this matchleſſe well deſerving River,
Your Cloth doth backe againe to me deliver,
With other riches, which I o’re the Sea
Unto my other daughters doe convay;
For your commodities I’le ever flow
Unto Danubis, Iſter, Rhine, and Poe,
To Maze, Seine, Volga, Ems, Elve, and Tanales,
To Tygris, Nilus, Ganges, Euphrates,
To Tyber, Jordan, Xanthus, Jndus, Tagus,
Paſt Aſphaltites, or Blacke Mortus Lacuus

As far as Oceanus ſends his ſtreames,
So far will I your ſervant ever be,
In any thing you’l deigne to put on me:
And humble thanks faire Thames and I doe render
To you, who of her well-fare are ſo tender,
Who with great coſt and care doe lend your hands,
To cleare your ſervant Thames from ſhelves and ſands:
Go on and cleanſe her, as you have begun,
And ſhe ſhall doe for you as ſhe hath done.
We are aſſur’d that Heaven will ever bleſſe
Your ſtores, who doe her injuries redreſſe,
To you, as long as they doe ebb and flow.
This with our humble dutious bending downe,
Long may this Citie flouriſh with renowne.
Then the Rowers (conſiſting of foure in number, being

Almoſt 500 daies, beheld have I
The Triumphs of Great Londons Mayoralty,
And ſure old Time, with Joy doth truely ſay,
He n’re was better pleaſ’d that at this day;
Not that I thinke a temporizing Lord,
Or Pleaſer of the Time ſhall weild the ſword,
But as your Honourable Predeceſſors
Have mended Time, by puniſhing Trangreſſors;
So Time hopes that th’addition of your yeare,
Will make him more Illuſtrate, pure and cleare.
For of all fading things ’tis manifeſt,
As Time is uſ’d, hee’s either worſt or beſt.
All thoſe that rightly have their Honours won:
Have uſ’d Time well, (as you my Lord have done.)
This Honour was ordaind you, from your youth
You ever lov’d my lovelieſt daughter Trvth,
And ſhe hath rais’d you; and ſhe did prefer
You
The Triumphs of Fame and Honour.
You to this dignity to Maintaine her.
I doe command her, ſtill with you t’abide,
Doe you defend her, ſhe ſhall be your guide:
For truth-ſake Time ſhall be your ſervant ſtill;
And in your juſt commands, obey your will.
Time ſhall tranſport your Marchandiſe and wares,
Time ſhall aſſiſt you in your great’ſt affaires:
Time ſhall be alwaies yours Auſpitiouſly,
And Time will bring you to Eternity.
Her’s Hermes, from his Spheares circumferance
Hath brought the Poet wit, and Eloquence;
And quick Invention, likewiſe he Inflam’d
Into the Artiſts that theſe pageants fram’d,
That for your future Honour, this may be
A day of well Compoſ’d Variety
Or Speach and ſhew, theſe Triumphs we preſent,
We hope (as they are meant ſhall give content)
We humbly wiſh, that you this yeare may finde,
Full of true worth as is your worthy mind.
Next and neere to this Pageant of Time and Mercury,
is the forme of a Citie repreſenting London, with walls,
Battlements, Gates, Churches, Towers, Steeples and lofty
Buildings, and ſome Antique ſhapes here and there on the
tops of the higheſt Edifices: Alſo with ſhops and men at
worke upon cloth, as Cloth-workers, fullers, ſhermen, and
others, the walls of the Citie being adorned round, with
Armes and ſcoutcheons of the Cittie and company as

By me faire London in obedience ſhewes
The ſervice, love, and duty that ſhe owes
To this daies Triumph, but my aime is higher,
My thankfulneſſe doth up to heaven aſpire,
Which unto me hath ſo propitious beene,
That I doe ſee this day, and now am ſeene
The Queene of Cities, Empreſſe of content,
And Princeſſe of unmatched government;
Weigh well my ſtate, and think on other ſtates,
Thebes is ruin’d with her hundred Gates;
Numantia, Carthage, great Jeruſalem,
And Babylon, what are become of them?
Conſtantinople doth in ſorrow lye,
And groane beneath the Turkiſh tyranny:
Rome, and all Cities that hold Rome ſupreme,
Their glorie’s are eclips’d or but a dreame;
Whilſt fire and ſword doth Germany moleſt,
London’s ſecure, with peace and plenty bleſt,
Turke, Pope, and war, beare here no rule or ſway,
For I one God, one King, one Law obey;
Ther’s
The Triumphs of Fame and Honour.
Ther’s my ſecurity, and my ſtate doth ſtand
Supported by the unſupported hand,
Theſe are the meanes and inſtruments whereby
We riſe to Honour, painfull Induſtry.
An Idle Citizen is like a Moth,
One ſpoyles b’example t’oher ſpoyles the Cloth,
True Citizens are the true Cities ſonnes,
The others are but baſtards, mad that runnes,
Like Runnagates, or curſed Imps of Caine,
And never ſhall to Honours ſeat Attaine:
Worke on my Lads, and you in time may be,
Good members of this Honour’d Company,
And though good Freeman (of this Corporation)
Deceaſ’d before his halfe yeares expiration,
Yet Heaven hath ſoone provided for our good
Another worthy of this Brother-hood.
And now my Lord, I give my ſelfe and mine,
To your command and charge, and I divine
That as great is the Honour of your ſeat,
Your Government ſhall be more good than great.
The next is a Pageant in the forme of a Tower, which
doth import a Tower of Honour, on the top of which
Tower ſits one in royall robes, with a majeſtique Impale

other: under him (in the next deſcent) ſit in equall

and a warlike Captaine or Generall. On the right hand of
the Lord Mayor is placed the figure or emblem of Ho

on the right hand of the Judge, a figure repreſenting
power is ſeated, and by the Generall or Captaine ſtands
victory. In the deſcent below the Lord Mayor is an appren

ſcholler, and by him is placed patience, under the Judge a
clark, and by him diligence; & under the Lord Generall is
a Common Souldiour, and by him is placed vertue, which
ſhewes that by vertuous actions and true induſtry meane
men have aſcended and may be raiſed to Honourable
places, which is an encouragement and paterne for others

The Speech of Honour.
Low ſteps begin to mount the higheſt hills,
Great Rivers have their heads from little Rills:
From ſervitude growes freedome, and from thence
(Through Induſtry) ſprings Worth and Eminence.
All ſuch as will true Honours ſeat aſcend,
Muſt doe (as theſe have) firſt obey and bend:
For though Humility to man ſeemes low,
The fruit of it as high as Heaven doth grow:
Tis diligence doth the puny-clarke prefer,
To be a Reverend Judge, or Counceller;
Paines and much perill oft obtaines the grace,
A common Souldiour gaines a Generals place:
The pooreſt Schollers ſtudy (by degrees)
Aſcends the height of ſpirituall dignities,
And from th’apprentice ſeven yeares ſervitude
Proceeds the grave gowne, and the Livery-Hood,
Till (in the end) by merit, paines and care,
They win the Grace to ſit in Honours chaire;
Thus Humble ſervice is advanc’d and rear’d
To Honours ſeat, obey’d, belov’d and fear’d.
Authoritie’s the touch-ſtone of the minde,
And ſhewes which way the bearer is inclin’d:
For having power joyned to his will,
It makes him much more good, or much more ill:
It makes him to foreſee, with Judgements eye,

Breeds ſcorne, contempt, makes power to leeſe her force.
When you in ſcales of Equity doe lay
The ſword of Juſtice, who dares but obey.
Your faith and Honour are in marriage joynd
By oath this day, which no man can unbinde,
Therefore my Lord (whoſe ſervice and true merit
Hath made this Honour your’s which you inherit)
Tis treble Joy that you doe wiſely know
To mix thoſe vertues well, and to beſtow
Them juſtly, as occaſion ſhall incite:
To gard the good, and make wrong render right,
In which expectance all our hopes abounding,
Joy crowne this day with Drums and Trumpets ſounding.

The Speech of Endimion.
My Honour’d Lord, let me, (a rurall Swaine,
And humble ſhepherd from the lowly plaine)
As plainly bid thee welcome to this ſtate
Of
The Triumphs of Fame and Honour.
Of Englands greateſt civill Magiſtrate.
A ſhepherd joyes to ſee this day, and I
Will fleece my flock’s t’nrich thy company:
I am Endimion, that of yore did keepe
Upon th’Arcadian hils my harmeles ſheepe:
Whereas by ſtudy, and by obſervations
I found the Moones change and her variations,
And for my ſake the Swaines doe ſtill prefer
The booke ycleap’d the ſhepherds Kallender.
And Tamberlaine (whom Mighty Kings obey’d)
Was once a ſhepherd, and the Time was when
That ſhepherds were the nobleſt, ableſt men.
This golden creſted Ram, on which I ride
To welcome you, and ſee you dignifide,
Is the Celeſtiall ſigne, (Aries by name)
Come from the Zodiack to adorne your fame.
And from the Ram, and his increaſing breed
Neere halfe mankinde have meanes to Cloath and feed.
By picking wooll, thouſands releife doe gaine,
As many carding, ſpinning doth maintaine:
Wooll-men, a great and wealthy trade doe drive,
Weavers, in great abundance worke and live,
The Clothiers, Fullers, Tuckers, Shermen, Dyers,
From the ſheepes fleece have feeding and attires.
But all theſe Trades, which I doe here infer,
Have all relation to the Cloth-worker,
For were it not for him the reſt were nothing,
B2
He

He onely makes it Cloth, and fit for Clothing.
Without the Cloth-worker, the Drapers Trade
And Merchants Traffick would decay and fade,
Theſe from the fleece get Clothes and nutriment,
For (under heaven) the Ram’s the Inſtrument.
And when bright Phœbus ſhall in March begin
To take the Ram for his celeſtiall Inne
Such golden tincture on his fleece hee’le ſet,
Which many golden peeces ſhall beget,
And whereas men (to make their worths appeare)
Doe give their ſervants Liveries once a yeare,
The Ram (in bounty) paſſeth man I note,
And gives his Maſter every yeare a coate
Thus poore Endimion, with the beaſt he rides,
Doth wiſh you proſperous windes, and happy tides,
That by commerce, and good Negotiation,
Wooll turn’d to Cloth, and Cloth by transformation,
Be turn’d to gold, that you may ſay with joy,
That Iaſons fleece (to yours) was but a toy.

The Triumphs of Fame and Honour.
Builds and throwes downe, and ruins and erects:
But fortune, death or fame, or Time cannot
Make vertuous men, or vertue be forgot.
For Immortallity is pleaſd to make
Fame with his Trumpe the drowſie world to wake,
Who from demolliſhed delapidations
Proclaimes the memorable nominations
Of worthies of this worthy company,
Who Honourd liv’d, and did with Honour die.
Sir William Hewet was, as you my Lord,
To poyz the ballance and to weild the ſword:
Sir Rowland Hayward next, next Sir Iames Hawes,
Did rule this Citie juſtly by the lawes;
Next was Sir Edward Oſboorne Londons Mayor;
Then Sir Iohn Spencer gaind the honourd Chaire,
Sir Thomas Schinner after had the place;
Next did Sir Nicholas Moſley gaine the Grace;
Then Sir Iohn Watts his yeare with Honour paſt,
And Noble Freeman who deceaſed laſt.
King Iames the wiſeſt, and the learnedſt King,
Whoſe fame throughout the ſpacious world doth ring,
He knew your merits, worth and dignity,
And therefore choſe your worthy company
To be his Brother-hood; he did underſtand,
You were moſt fit for his fraternall band.
And you my Lord, whom Time hath brought to be
The nobleſt Branch of this fraternity,
Time here ſalutes you, wiſhing you may move
More
The Triumphs of Fame and Honour.
More high in Honour, as you doe in love.
Tis truly ſaid, that man that rules his paſſions,
Doth conquer more, than he that conquers Nations.
As you have rul’d your ſelfe, let it appeare
In ruling London this enſuing yeare,
So you, with Time ſhall be together bleſt,
And Time ſhall bring you to Eternall Reſt.

her due) It were ſhamefull impudence in mee to aſſume
the invention of theſe Structures and Architectures to my

acquainted with all, there being little of my directions in

London is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Paul’s Wharf
According to Schofield, Paul’s Wharf is one of the oldest wharfs on the Thames (Schofield 181). Located in both Castle Baynard Ward and Queenhithe Ward, Paul’s Wharf was situated near St. Paul’s Cathedral and St. Benet. Since Paul’s Wharf was only blocks away from St. Paul’s Cathedral, the clergy used the wharf as a point of travel.Paul’s Wharf is mentioned in the following documents:
-
The Thames
Perhaps more than any other geophysical feature, the Thames river has directly affected London’s growth and rise to prominence; historically, the city’s economic, political, and military importance was dependent on its riverine location. As a tidal river, connected to the North Sea, the Thames allowed for transportation to and from the outside world; and, as the longest river in England, bordering on nine counties, it linked London to the country’s interior. Indeed, without the Thames, London would not exist as one of Europe’s most influential cities. The Thames, however, is notable for its dichotomous nature: it is both a natural phenomenon and a cultural construct; it lives in geological time but has been the measure of human history; and the city was built around the river, but the river has been reshaped by the city and its inhabitants.The Thames is mentioned in the following documents:
-
St. Paul’s Churchyard
Surrounding St. Paul’s Cathedral, St. Paul’s Churchyard has had a multi-faceted history in use and function, being the location of burial, crime, public gathering, and celebration. Before its destruction during the civil war, St. Paul’s Cross was located in the middle of the churchyard, providing a place for preaching and the delivery of Papal edicts (Thornbury).St. Paul’s Churchyard is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Cheapside Market
In the middle ages, Westcheap was the main market west of Walbrook, so called to distinguish it from Eastcheap, the market in the east. By Stow’s time, the term Westcheap had fallen out of use in place of Cheapside Market. Stow himself, however, continued to use the term to distinguish the western end of Cheapside Street.Cheapside Market is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Little Conduit (Cheapside)
The Little Conduit (Cheapside), also known as the Pissing Conduit, stood at the western end of Cheapside Street outside the north corner of Paul’s Churchyard. On the Agas map, one can see two water cans on the ground just to the right of the conduit.Little Conduit (Cheapside) is mentioned in the following documents:
-
St. Laurence Lane (Guildhall)
In early modern London, there were two Laurence Lanes: St. Lawrence Poultney Lane, which served as the boundary between Downgate Ward and Candlewick Ward, and St. Laurence Lane, Guildhall which was in Cheap ward (Harben). The latter Laurence Lane, to which this page refers, held great importance in the procession of mayoral pageants. It ran north-south, connecting Cheapside at the south and Cateaton Street (labelled on the Agas map asKetton St.
) in the north. It ran parallel between Milk Street to the west and Ironmonger Lane to the east. It is drawn correctly on the Agas map and is labelled asS. Laurence lane.
St. Laurence Lane (Guildhall) is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Cheap Ward
Cheap Ward is west of Bassinghall Ward and Coleman Street Ward. Both the ward and its main street, Cheapside, are named after West Cheap (the market).Cheap Ward is mentioned in the following documents:
-
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.St. Paul’s Cathedral is mentioned in the following documents:
