THE Title of the Show is Scaturigo, i.
the Fountaine and Well-ſpring of
all the Liberall Arts, and Sciences,

Braine; How many grammer Schooles haue beene by
her and her indulgent Children erected (through all, or
most of all) the Shieres and Counties of England, to the
propagation and aduancement of Learning, to the fur
niſhing of the Accademics with Students, and from them,
the foure flouriſhing Kingdomes (now vnder the Sword
and Scepter of his moſt Sacred Maieſty) with proufound
Theologiſts, expert Phiſitians, learned Philoſophers,

So much for the Studies of the Braine.
Now for all other Sciences, Myſteries, Trades, and
Manufacturers, (including aſwell Merchants as Mechan -
nicks) What City in Europe yeeldeth more plenty?
more variety? In ſo much that by reſon of Bartering,
Bargening, Trade and Commerce, (beſides the Busse or
Exchange, dayly thronged with Merchants of all Coun -
tries.) The populous Streets rather appeare an open
Mart, then an ordinary Market; ſhee not fauouring and
foſtering her owne Natives Onely, but Strangers, and of
all forraigne Nations whatſoeuer. Here they ſucke the
Milke of her breſts, here they are fed, here cheriſhed by
this excellent City, and therefore neither impertinently,
nor vnproperly may ſhee be ſtiled: Artium & Scientia -

riding vpon the backe of a Dolphin, behinde him for or -

Arrion was borne in Methimnus, whom Pyranthus,
(or as Gelius and Herodatus pleaſe to name him) Perian -
der, for his excellent skill vpon the Harpe, greatly de
lighted in: Dycearchus deſcribeth him for a noble Dithir -
ambrick Poet. He hauing got great ſtore of Treaſure, was
deſirous to croſſe from Corinth into Sicilia and Italy, to Lib. de Dionis. Certaminib.
whom Apollo appeares (the night before his imbarking)
in a Dreame, and willed him to attire himſelfe in his Robe
and Lawrell, and to be ready in any danger to ſing vnto
his Harpe, and not to feare any thing. The next day
(being farre from ſhoare) the Marriners hauing notice
whate Treaſure hee had aboord, conſpired amoungſt them -
ſelues to caſt him into the Sea, which hee perceiuing,
begged of them ſo much reſpite, that habited as hee was,
hee might ſing one funerall farewell to his Harpe, which
granted, ſo ſweete was his Harmony, that the Dolphins
came ſporting about the ſhippe, as much delighted with
his Muſicke: amoungſt whom hee caſt himſelfe, and they
ſupported him, and bore him backe vnto Corinth; where
hauing told this wonderment, the King graciouſly enter -
tayned him; ſoone after the ſame Barke being by a tempeſt
drouen into the ſame Harbour, notice thereof beeing gi -
uen vnto the King, hee ſtrictly queſtioned them con -
cerning Arion, they affirm’d him to bee dead at Sea, to
which when they had ſworne, hee cauſed Arion ſudden -
ly to appeare before them, who confounded with ſhame,
were commanded to death: Apollo After Tranſlated Arion
for his Muſicke, and the Dolphin for his Pitty amongſt the

Faire Thameſis, upon whose ſilver breſt
Arion with his Dolphin now dot reſt
How I admire thy Glory, State, and Pride,
Vpon this Solemne day thus beautified?
Ganges renowned in all forraigne Lands,
Nor Tagus boaſting of her golden Sands
Can

Londons Scaturigo
Can Paralell thy Riches; Not Caiſter
Famous for Swannes, nor Po her cleere ſtreamſd ſiſter:
Winding Meander, nor yet Simois Flood,
Which Fame faith, at the Troian Seige ran blood.
Swift Rubicon, whoſe memory ſhall laſt,
Becauſe it,Caeſar with his Army poſt.
Choaspes, that almoſt guirts Perſia round:
Nor Iſſa, by Darrius death renown’d
The Amazonian Thermedon, the Nyle
That Breeds in it the weeping Crocadile.
The Euphrates, the Colga, and the Ryne,
Nay Iordan too, that waters Paleſtine:
What Paris Some, or Romes swifts Tyber bee
The one a Brooke, the other a Ditch to thee
And my Crownd Dolphin Doth proclaime the thus,
Th’art the choyſe darling of Oceanus.
And if thou haſt a Genius, (as ’tis gueſt
All Rivers have?) know wherein th’art moſt bleſt.
Not that thy Bankes are ſo defenc’t and ſtable,
Nor within Land th’art ſo far nauigable,
Not for thy Flux and Refluxe, (Ebbs and Tydes)
Or the rich Meddowes bordering round thy ſides
Not that being pleasſd, th’art ſmooth, being angry, curl’d
Nor thy rare Bridge not equald through the World
Not for tho’e goodly Buildings reard ſo hye,
To make thee live to perpetuity.
Not for thy ſpacious Limits and Extents,
(And yet all thoſe vnriuald Ornaments.)
But if I truely ſhall to thee commend,
That Bliſſe wherein thou others dost tranſcend,
Behold this Day the Honour and the State
Of this thy Great and God like Magistrate.
Not waited on by Boats made of the Trunks
Of

Of Canes, or hollowed trees, or petty Iunks,
Or Wanton Gondelaes: but Barges, ſtrong,
And richly deckt, who as they plowe along
Thy breſt, with their smooth keels to make their way,
See how the Wind doth with their ſtreamers play,
How beautiful thy Waves, how thronged thy shores,
And what a Muſick’s when they ſtrike their Oares
To ſee them with Grave Magiſtrates ſo Man’d,
Powerfull by Sea, and potent too by Land.
So many Sciences, and Miſteries

In ſundry bottomes: and each Art and Trade

St. Katherines Speech.
Doth any wonder, why St. Katherine, ſhee
The Patroneſſe of this faire Companie
Is mounted on a Lyon? Let such know,
That (being a Queen) this kingly beaſt doth owe
Mee duty by instinct: Beſides I come
Both with Virginity and Martyrdome,
Sainted moreouer, and (of theſe) the leaſt
Able to tame the moſt inſulting Beaſt
But this is hee the billowes doth deuide,
And therefore iuſtly on his backe I ride:
All theſe belonging to this Worthy Trade,
The Lyon, sea-waues and thePrincely Mayde.
That for the Armes: note next what I diſplay
In this my Banner here, Serue and obey:
Rare Morall in this Motto, (if well ſcand)
For Kings are Gods, Viz-gerents, and command
By Sword and Scepter: and by their good Grace
Can preferre others both to power and place.
As you this Day behold this Carlet worne,
And
Londons Scaturigo
And Sword of Iuſtice thus in publike borne;
The Cap of Maintenance, Coller of Eſses,
(Which Trauellers in all their large progreſſes
Can in no City parallell, thatſs ſcite
In th’earths deuiſion, knowne quadrupepertite:)
So, who’oeuer ſhall himselfe oppose
Agaiſt this Magiſtrate, (as one of thoſe)
The king deputes as Chiefe) himſelfe hee brings
To bee a rebell to the King of Kings:
Far be it an arch-traytor in that kind
’Mong’t all the’e goodly Companies, (combind
In mutuall loue and league:) ’hould dare to appeare
In the faire Progreſſe of this Praetors yeare.
Behold, and view who my attendants bee,
Conſtancy, Zeale, Truth, and Humility.
Be conſtant then vnto this Graue Lord Maior,
And the two Shrieuves that his aſſiſtants are;
Choſe by the publicke Voyce and Senats Doome,
As Cenſors, and the Tribunes were in Rome;
Doe it in Zeale, in Truth, and all ſubmiſſion,
That their be found no croſse interpoſition
Betwixt Power and Obedience, ſo ſhall all
Arts, Myſteries, and Trades Mechannicall,
Thriue=, proſper, and increaſe, ſo long as they
Honour the King, the Magiſtrate obey.

Cha’tity, and Innocence, which Diuine ayde
Is ready to aſſiſt ſtill from aboue,
By one or other of the Sonnets of Ioue.
Of which denomination, none, more Grace
Can claime than you, who are in power and place,
And hold this Day in chiefe; then Perſeus like,
Keepe that your Sword still drawne, ready to ſtrike;
Making ſuch Monſters of your Iuſtice taſt,
Who inſidiate the Innocuous and the Chaste.
Obſerue (Graue Sir) the Armesw and Shield I beare,
Such as your ſelfe, and others ought to weare,
Both for Defence and Offence: and in me
Embleam’d, all thoſe prime Vertues that ſhould be
In Perſons of your Power, my Sword reſembles
Vnpartiall.

Vnpartiall Iustice, at which guilt still trembles;
My Winged=horſe, Celerity and Speed:
In doing it, that no illegal deed
May paſſe unſcourged, and there be tooke no reſt,
Vntil reliefe be given to the opprest.
This Shield that beares the Gorgons head imblaz’d,
Vpon whose Snaky locks who euer gaz’d,
Were turn’d to ſtatues of cold ſenſeleſſe ſtone,
Is that (Graue Magistrate) you now put on.
Whilſt on your Arme you weare this conſtant Targe,
Bearing your ſelfe vprightly in your Charge.
All ſuch as ſhal in Malice or in pride
Your Purple State detract from, or deride,
Diſcouer this before them, it hath power
To freeze them into Marble the ſame houre.
Strive you to imitate what I haue done,
Since you this day, are Perseus and Ioues ſonne.

NO beaſt of all the Wilderneſſe can vant
Like Strength or Wiſedome with the Elephant.
And therefore, (if conſiderd wel) none may
Better become the Triumphs of this Day.
What Hieroglificke can a man invent,
Embleame or Symbole, for a Gouernment
In this high nature, apter or more fit
Deuisſd before, or to be thought of yet.
He beares a caſtle (as this day wee ſee,)
But of what ſtrength and puissance must you bee
Supporting this Great Citty? who must lay
Your ſhoulders to a burden; such as may
Make Atlas shrinke beneath it; Temples, Towers
Rialtoes, ſpacious Manſions, Suburbe bowers.
A weight to make th’Heſperian Giant droope

What Iudgement, Knowledge, Wiſedome and Retnetion?
Of what Fore-fight? what Body and what Brain?
What an Antomedan to guide the raine
Of Steedes unmannag’d? what a Palinure
To ſteare this Helme? and ſuch a Barke aſſure
In a Sea troubled, where can be no truſt
In an vnconſtant Surge or angry Guſt?
Yet ſuch an Elephant we hope to finde
Of you, both in th’ability of Minde
And ſtrength of Arme, by that incouragement
The former paſſage of your life hath lent:
Showed in your Iudgement and Experience,
Your Grauity, and vnchang’d Temperance;
All generall Vertues that become ’uch State,
Behouefull in ſo Great a Magiſtrate:
So after Times unto your Fame ſhall ſtory
How you haue borne up in her pristine Glory
This flouriſhing City, not once ſhrinking under
So great a burden, (to ſucceſsiue wonder)
Since no skild Pilot better could command
By Sea, or expert Charicter by Land.

The Speech vpon the Fountaine.
TWelve houres twice told, diſtinuiſh night and Day,
Twelve Caeſars of the Iulian Line did ſway
Romes Empire, and in euery caſe of ſtriffe
Where Action’s tryde or if concerning life,
Twelue makes the Iury full: the Zodaiacke Lines
Are likewiſe fild by twelue Celeſtiall Signes,
Amongſt which one in your Emblazons borne
Is numbred by the name of Capricorne.
Twelue Sibills we account and they fore-told
Things happned ſince, although they ſpake of old
By twelue: the bleſt Word in the Church inſtated
Was at the firſt divuldg’d and propagated.
Twelue Companies you are in Chiefe, 12. heere
Pre’ent that number with tho’e Armes they beare.
And hence the Inundant Scaturigo growes,
Which through our Kingdomes large Dominions flowes,
By founded Scholes, by Colledges, by Trade,
By Trafficke, by Commerce, by Proiect layd.
For thrifty Bargaine and all competent Gayne,
Aswell ariſing from the Hand as Brayne.

And you of all her Sonnes now elde’t Child;
(Heire to her good Workes) incourage ſtill
Thoſe pious Acts, and by Example fill
Voide places with the like, and in this State
You beare, as being now chiefe Magiſtrate:
So order this your numerous Charge, that they

A word or two concerning the ſupporters of the Armes
of this Worſhipfull Company. Parmeniſius a Greeke Au -

two Daughters, to whom Jupiter in his Infancy was ſent
to be nurſed, to preſerue him from the fury of his Father
Saturne: but they being at that time dry-breſted, cauſed
him to ſucke of a Goate called Amalkthea, by whoſe Milke
