HAuing in our laſt yeeres diſcourſe of
Himatia Poleos, ſufficiently approued
the true antiquitie, and primary Ho-
nour of Englands Draperie, heere
in the Citie of London, firſt granted
by King Richard the firſt, and ſe-

mous noble Gentleman, Sir Henry Fitz-Alwine
Knight, in the firſt dignity of L. Maior of London,
wherein he continued (by yeerely election) the ſpace
of twenty foure yeeres and an halfe, and longer had
done, if hee had longer liued: Seeing likewiſe, that
Drapery triumpheth now two yeers together, by ſuc-
ceſſion of two Lord Maiors in one and the ſame So-

This text is the corrected text. The original is uermore (SM)euermore affecteth nouelty, in a new forme of this ſe-
cond yeeres triumph, prepared for that honourable
and worthy brother of Drapery, Sir Iohn Iolles, Knight
and Alderman, on the day of his entrance into ſo
high a dignitie.
On Monday, being the 30. of October, 1615. ac-
cording to auncient and moſt honourable cuſtome,
the L. Maior being to paſſe by water to Weſtmin-
ſter
, in company of his worthy Brethren, and atten-
ded by all other Companies in their ſeuerall Bardges
made fit for triumph, after ſuch manner as formerly
hath been obſerued:
The firſt deuice that welcom-
meth him to the water, is an inuention proper to that
nature, and thought apt to conduct him in his paſ-
ſage. He being both a Draper and Stapler, and theſe
two profeſſions (in former times) appertaining to the
Brethren of Londons Drapery, trading only in wools
and woollen cloth, the then chiefe riches of the king-
dome: both theſe myſteries meeting together ſo con-
ueniently in one man, I did account it as a ſinne in me
to ſunder them
, and therefore made vſe of that Creaſt
or Cognizaunce of the Golden Fliece, giuen by aun-
cient Heraldrie to them both, and remaining ſtill in
firme force with the Draper, as their Eſcutchion of
Armes maketh manifeſt.
In a goodly Argoe, ſhaped ſo neere as Art could
yeeld it, to that of ſuch auncient and honourable
fame, as conuaied Iaſon and his valiant Argonautes of
Greece, to fetch away the Golden fleece from Cholchos;
we make vſe of that memorable hiſtorie, as fit both for
the time and occaſion. Therein aloft ſitteth Medea,
whoſe loue to Iaſon, was his beſt meanes for obtaining
the

Metropolis Coronata.
the Golden fleece: And therefore, as ſtill witneſ-
ſing the fiery zeale of her affection towards him, ſhe
ſitteth playing with his loue-lockes, and wantoning
with him in all pleaſing daliance, to compaſſe the
more ſettled aſſurance of his conſtancy: His noble
Companions, as Hercules, Telamon, Orpheus, Caſtor,
Pollux, Calais and Zethes the Sonnes of Boreas, are
ſeated about him in their ſeuerall degrees, attired in
faire guilt Armours, bearing triumphall Launces,
wreathed about with Lawrell, Shields honoured with
the Impreſſe of the Golden fleece, and their heads
circled with Lawrell, according to the manner of all
famous Conquerors. This Argoe is rowed by diuers
comely Eunuches, which continually attended on
Medea, and ſhe fauouring them but to paſſe vnder the
fleece of Golde, had all their garments immediatly
ſprinkled ouer with golde, euen as if it had ſhowred
downe in droppes vpon them, and ſo they rowe on in
Iaſons triumph.
Hauing thus borrowed the helpe of this well
knowne ſtorie, to honour the day of our London Ia-
ſon: we doe Poetically inferre, that Neptune hauing
declared himſelfe kinde in their comming hither, and
Thameſis ſhewen her ſelfe as gracious, in paſſing ouer
her watry boſome, To make his triumph more maie-
call, they lend the aſſiſtance of their Sea Chariot,
wherein they vſe to ſport themſelues on their watry
regiment, it being ſhaped like to a Whale, or the
huge Leuiathan of the Sea. Therein is placed the
ſhadow of Sir Henry Fitz-Alwine, to grace this dayes
honour, both by water and land, and by him are ſea-
ted eight royall Vertues, bearing the Enſignes of
Armes

Metropolis Coronata.
Armes of eight honourable Drapers and Staplers,
with beautiful ſhields, that declare each mans name,
vz. Poultney, Cromer, Aeyre, Wotton, Sidney, Bulloin,
Capell, Champion. Many more we could haue brought
to accompanieaccõpanie them, but neither place nor time might
afford it: only theſe are remembred for their high de-
ſeruings, as our Chronicles (at large) doe more am-
ply declare, Fame triumphing in the top, and Time
guiding the way before. No ſooner is my Lord and
his Brethren ſeated in their Bardge, and ſuch ſilence
obtained as the ſeaſon can beſt permit: but Fitz-Al-
wine
ſaluteth him in this manner.

The ſtory of the Golden Fleece,
Fetcht by the Argonautes of Greece
From Cholcos in reſemblance here,
Where Iaſon and thoſe Greekes appeare,
Which in that trauaile did partake,
Both for his loue and honours ſake.
Medeas powerfull charmes preuailde,
And all thoſe dreadfull Monſters quailde,
That kept the Fleece in their protection,
Which then was wonne by her direction.
By way of Morall application,
Your Honour may make ſome relation
Vnto your ſelfe out of this ſtorie,
You are our Iaſon, Londons glorie,
Now going to fetch that fleece of Fame,
That euer muſt renowne your name.
An Oath of Faith and Fealtie
Vnto his ſacred Maieſtie,
That makes you his Great Deputie
Or Image of Authoritie.
No Monſters dare confront your way.
Imagine then, as well you may,
That all this faire and goodly Fleete,
Do in meere loue (on purpose) meete,
Like to thoſe Argonautes of Greece,
That then fetcht home their Golden Fleece,
To tend the Argoe where you ride,
Behind, before, on euery ſide
With all applauding melodie,
That beſt this day may dignifie.

To honour ſuch a day as this,
Haue

Haue ſent out of their watry ſtore
Their owne Sea Chariot, which before
They nere would part with. But as now,
Their sacred Deities allow
Our vſe thereof, which we employ,
To make more full this day of ioy.
Eight Royall Vertues take the paine
Eight honoured Enſignes to ſuſtaine
Of eight Lord Maiors, as you may ſee
Deſcribed by their Heraldrie,
Drapers, and Staplers Brethren kinde,
Leauing rare monuments behinde
Of their affection to this Citie,
For the poores good whom they did pittie.
Time checks me, that I may not tell
Their ſeuerall deedes. Nor fits it well
In ſerious buſineſſe to delay:
On then a Gods name, lets away.


The Speech being ended, the Companies witneſ-
ſing their ioy for his taking water, and the ſame fur-
ther confirmed by a gallant peale of Ordenance: wee
waite on my Lord ſo farre as conueniently we may,
euermore hauing care of our further employment in
the land ſeruice, the time being ſo ſhort, and our pre-
paration requiring ſuch decencie in order: yet much
abuſed by neglect in marſhalling, and hurried away
with too impudent haſtineſſe, albeit ſo aduiſedly ſet

The Argoe ſucceedeth this Fleece or Ramme, accor-

And you to your owne houſe are come,
With all delight that we can make yee:
Me thinks we ſhould not yet forſake yee,
But that ſtrict Time will haue it ſo,
And parts vs, whether we will or no.

Is, that your Honour would well weigh
Your worthie-minded Brethrens loue,
Who haue in firme affection ſtroue;
How beſt they might renowne this day:

That neuer men did more deſire
To ſtretch their loue and bounty higher
Then they haue done, and could afford
For ſuch a worthy minded Lord,
Which they by me humbly commend
Still at your ſeruice: So I end.

Afterward, as occaſion beſt preſenteth it ſelfe,
when the heate of all other employments are calmly
ouerpaſt: Earle Robin Hood, with Fryer Tuck, and his
other braue Hunteſ-men, attending (now at laſt) to
diſcharge their duty to my Lord, which the buſie
