St. Katherines ſpeech by Water.
GReat Prætor, and grave Senators, ſhe craves
A free admittance on theſe curied waves,
Who doth from long antiquity profeſſe
Herſelfe to be your gracious Patroneſſe:
Oft have I on a paſſant Lyon ſate,
And through your populous ſtreets beene borne in ſtate:
Oft have I grac’t your Triumphes on the ſhore,
But on the Waters was not ſeene before.
Will you the reaſon know why it doth fall,
That I thus change my Element? you ſhall:
When Triton with his pearly trumpets blew
A ſtreperous blaſt, to ſummon all the crew
Of Marine gods and goddeſſes to appeare,
(As the annuall cuſtome is) and meet you here:
As they were then in councell to debate,
What honour they might adde unto the ſtate
Of this Inauguration; there appear’d
His Caducaus ſilence might command;
Whilſt all attentive were to underſtand
The tenor of his meſſage: who thus ſpake.
The Sire of gods, with what you undertake
Is
Londons Mirrour.
Is highly pleas’d, and greatly doth commend
That faire deſigne and purpoſe you intend;
But he beheld a Machine from an high,
Which at firſt ſight daz’d his immortall eye;
A royall Arke, whoſe bright and glorious beams
Rivall the Sunnes, ready to proove your ſtreames:
A veſſell of ſuch beauty, burthen, ſtate,
That all the high Powers were amaz’d thereat;
So beautified, ſo munified, ſo clad,
As might an eight to the ſeaven wonders adde:
VVhich muſt be now your charge; ’twas Ioves owne mo-(tion,
That all of you attend her to the Ocean.
This not withſtanding, ſuch was their great care,
(To ſhew that o’re you they indulgent are)
That Neptune from his Chariot bad me chuſe
Two of his beſt Sea-horſes, to excuſe
His inforc’t abſence: Thames (whoſe breaſt doth ſwell
Still with that glorious burthen) bad me tell,
That Ioves command ſhall be no ſooner done,
But every Tide he’le on your errands runne
From hence to the Lands end, and thence againe
Backe, to conveigh your trafficke from the Maine:
My meſſage thus delivered, now proceed
To take your oath, there is no further need
Of my aſſiſtance; who on Land will meete you,
And with the ſtate of greater Triumphes greete you.

Thy ſelfe to thouſand figures, ’tis not ſtrange
VVith thee, thou old Sea-prophet, throng the ſeas
With Phorcus Daughters, the Nereides,
And all the blew-hair’d Nymphes, in number more,
Than Barkes that float, or Pibbles on the ſhore:
Take Æolus along to fill her ſailes
With proſperous windes, and keepe within his gailes
Tempeſtuous guſts: which was no ſooner ſaid,
But done: for all the Marine gods obey’d.

Bellonaes Speech upon the Imperiall Fort.
THis Structure (honour’d Sir) doth title beare
Of an Imperiall Fort, apt for that ſpheare
In which you now moove, borrowing all her grace,
As well from your owne perſon, as your place;
For you have paſt through all degrees that tended
Vnto that height which you have now aſcended.
You have beene in this City (’tis knowne well)
A Souldier, Captaine, and a Colonell.
And now in times faire progreſſe, to crowne all,
Of this Metropolis chiefe Generall.
You, of this Embleme, which this day we bring,
To repreſent the Chamber of the King,
Are the prime governour: a Royall Fort,
And ſtrongly ſetted, as not built for ſport,
But for example and defence: a Tower
Supported by no leſſe than Soveraigne power:
The
Londons Mirrour.
The Theologicke vertues, the three Graces,
And Charites have here their ſeverall places.
(By which ſmall mites to Magozines increaſe)
Have reſidence: now oppoſite there are
To theſe, and with them at continuall warre,
Pride, Arrogance, Sloath, Vanity, Preſtigion,
Prophaneſſe, the contempt of true Religion,
With thouſands more, who aſsiduatly waite
This your Imperiall Fort to inſidiate.
You may obſerve i’th muſicke of your Bels
Like ſound in Triumphes, and for funerall knels;
Marriage and death to them appeare all one,
Masking nor mourning cannot change their tone:
With our Fort ’tis not ſo, whoſe faire pretence, is
To comply with the nature of offence,
Errors: ſhe knowes in low termes how to chide
Great faults, with greater noiſe are terrifi’d:
But ſhe can load her Cannons, and ſpeake loud
To encounter with the arrogant and proud:
Whats further in your Prætorſhip aſsign’d,
You, in your Londons Mirrour there may find.
The fifth ſhow, cald Londons Mirrour.
THis beareth the title of the whole Triumphe; of
Glaſſes pertinent to this our purpoſe, there bee
ſeverall forts, as Opticke, Perſpective, Proſpective, Multi
plying, &c. The preſenter is Viſus, or Sight; for what the
minde is to the ſoule, the ſame is the eye to the body, be
ing the moſt precious part thereof. Sight is the moſt
ſoveraigne ſence, the firſt of five, which directeth man to
the ſtuddy & ſearch of knowledge & wiſedome; the eyes
are placed in the head as in a Citadel, to be watch-towers

We reade that one Marcus Varro was ſir-named Stra
bo, for the excellency and quickneſſe of his ſight, who
from Libæum, a Province in Scicilia, could diſtin
guiſh and give an exact account of all ſuch ſhips as came
out of the haven of Carthage, which two places ſome
hold to be more than an hundred Italian leagues diſtant:
indeed no man can better eſtimate the vertue and value
of the ſight, than he that is made blinde and wants it, nei
ther could I deviſe a more apt Speaker to preſent this
Mirrour, than the ſence of the ſight, without which, the
pureſt Chriſtall is of no uſe at all.

The Pageant it ſelfe is decored with glaſſes of all ſorts:

(Now beſt complying with the place and time)
Preſenting Londons Mirrour, and this Glaſſe
Shewes not alone what ſhe is, or once was,
But that the ſpacious Vniverſe might ſee
In her, what their great Cities ought to be;
That every forraigne Magiſtrate from hence
Might learne how to diſpoſe his Opticke ſence.
Aſpice ſaith, Looke toward and upon
Deſartfull men whom this Age frowneth on.
And Deſpice caſt downe thy powerfull eye
On the poore wretch that doth beneath thee lye.
Then
Londons Mirrour.
Then Conſpice take counſell firſt and pauſe
With meditation, ere though iudge a cauſe.
Proſpice bids looke a farre off, and view
(Before conclude) what dangers may inſue.
Perſpice wils, in ſifting doubts, then ſcan
The nature of the matter with the man.
Let every cauſe be ſearcht, and duely ſought,
Saith Inſpice, ere thou determinſt ought.
Circumſpice ſaith, looke about to immure
So great a charge, that all within be ſure.
Conſiderate Reſpice inioynes thee laſt,
To caſt thine eyes backe upon all things paſt.
For Londons ſelfe, if they ſhall firſt begin
To examine her without, and then within,
What Architectures, Palaces, what Bowers,
What Citadels, what turrets, and what towers?
Who in her age grew pregnant, brought a bed
Of a New Towne, and late delivered
Of ſuch a burthen, as in few yeares ſpace,
Can almoſt ſpeake all tongues, (to her more grace.)
Then her Cathedrals, Temples new reparing,
An act of true devotion, no man ſparing
His helping hand, and many, ’tis well knowne,
To further Gods houſe have forgot their owne.
Vnto her outward ſhape I doe not prize her,
But let them come within to anatomize her.
Her Prætor, ſcarlet Senate, Liveries,
The ordering of her brave ſocieties:
Divine Aſtræa here in equall ſcale
Doth ballance Iuſtice, Truth needes not looke pale,
Nor poverty deiected, th’Orphants cauſe,
And Widowes plea finde helpe; no ſubtile clauſe
Can
Londons Mirrour.
Can make demurre in ſentence: a faire bearing,
And upright doome in every Court appearing:
Still to preſerve her ſo, be’t your indeavour,
And ſhe in you, you her ſhall live for ever.
I come now to the Linvoy, or laſt Speech, when his Lordſhip, after
his dayes long and tedious trouble, retireth himſelfe to his reſt at
night, in which Pythagoras the Speaker briefly runs over the paſſages

The Speech at Night.
WE to a Valediction are confin’d,
(Right Honoured) and intreat You beare in minde
What was this Day preſented: Your chiefe Saint
A Martyr once of the Church militant,
But now of the tryumphant, bids You ſpare
Your ſelfe this Night: for to a World of Care
You are ingag’d tomorrow, which muſt laſt
Till the whole progreſſe of Your Yeere be paſt.
The Spheare-like Globe quadrated, lets You know,
What Pro-Rex doth to the four Scepters owe.
Your Military honours (in your Dayes
Of leſſe commend) th’ Imperiall Fort diſplayes,
And Londons Mirrour, that all men may ſee
What Magiſtrates have beene, and ought to be.
Set is the Sunne long ſince, and now the Light
Quite fayling us, Thrice Honourd Sir, good Night.
For the Artiſts, and directors of theſe Pageants and ſhowes, John Chriſt
mas and Mathias, the two Sonnes of Gerard, their now deceaſed Father,
a knowne Maſter in all whoſe Sciences he profeſt. I can ſay no more but
thus, that proportioning their Workes according to the limits of the gates
through which they were to paſſe, being ty’de not to exceede one Inch ei
ther in height, or breadth: My Opinion is that few Workemen about the
Towne can paralell them, much leſſe exceede them. But if any ſhall either
out of Curioſity or malice taxe their ability, in this kind of Art, I referre
them to the Carving of his Majeſties Great Ship lately built at Woolwitch,
which Worke alone is able both to ſatisfie mutation, and qualifie Envie.
