A brief description of the triumphant show made by the Right Honourable Aulgernon Percy, Earl of Northumberland, At his Installation and Initiation into the Princely Fraternity of the Garter, upon the 13. of May, 1635.  
To the tune of Quell the pride, etc.  
 

YOu noble Buds of Britain,  
that spring from Honour's Tree,  
Who love to hear of high designs,  
attend a while to me,  
And I'll (in brief) discover what  
Fame bids me take in hand,  
to blaze  
the praise  
Of great Northumberland.   

The Order of the Garter,  
ere since third Edward's Reigned,  
Unto the Realm of England hath  
a matchless Honour gained:  
The World hath no Society  
like to this Princely band,  
to raise  
the praise  
Of great Northumberland.   

The honour of his Pedigree  
doth claim a high regard,  
And many of his Ancestors,  
for Fame thought nothing hard,  
And he through noble qualities,  
which are exactly scanned,  
doth raise  
the praise  
Of Great Northumberland.   

Against the day appointed,  
his Lordship did prevare,  
To publish his Magnificence,  
no charges he did spare,  
 
The like within man's memory,  
was never tune in hand,  
to raise  
the praise  
Of great Northumberland.   

Upon that day it seemed,  
all Brittany did strive,  
And did their best to honour him,  
with all they could coutrive,  
For all our high Nobility  
joined in a mutual hand,  
to blaze,  
they praise,  
Of great Northumberland.   

The Common eyes were dazzled,  
With wonder to behold,  
The lustre of apparel rich,  
all Silver Pearl and Gold  
Which on brave Coursers mounted,  
did glister through the Strand.  
to blaze  
though praise,  
Of great Northumberland.   

But are that I proceeded,  
this progress to report  
I should have mentioned the feast,  
made at Salisbury Court,  
Almost siue hundred dishes,  
did on a table stand,  
to raise  
the praise,  
Of great Northumberland.   

The second part to the same tune.  
 

THe mightiest Prince or Monarch,  
that in the world doth reign,  
At such a sumptuous banquet might,  
have dined without disdain.  
Where Sack like Conduit water  
was free even at command.  
to blaze  
the praise  
Of great Northumberland.   

The famous Fleetstreet Conduit,  
renowned so long ago.  
Did not neglect to express what love,  
she to my Lord did owe  
For like an old proud woman  
she painted fair both stand.  
to blaze,  
the praise,  
Of great Northumberland.   

A number of brave Gallants,  
some Knights and some Esquires,  
Attended at this triumph great,  
clad in complete attires.  
The Silver half moon gloriousse,  
upon their sléeves did stand,  
to blaze  
the praise,  
Of great Northumberland.   

All these on stately, Horses,  
that till endured the bit,  
Wear mounted in magniffique sort,  
as to the time was fit,  
Their feathers white and red dit show,  
like to a martial band,  
to blaze  
the praise,  
Of great Northumberland.   

The noble Earls and Vizco●tz,  
and Barons road in state,  
This great and high solemnity,  
all did Congratulats,  
To honour brave Earl Percy,  
each put a helping hand,  
to blaze  
the praise,  
Of great Northumberland.   

King Charles our Royal sovereign  
and his renowned Mary,  
With (Britain's hope) their progeny.  
all lovingly did tarry.  
At noble Vizcount Wimbletons',  
●ith fairest part o'th' Strand,  
to blaze, etc.   

To famous Winsor-Castle,  
with all his gallant train,  
Earl Percy went that afternoon,  
his honour to obtain.  
And there he was installed,  
One of Saint George's band,  
to blaze, etc.   

Long may he live in honour,  
in plenty and in peace,  
For him and all his noble friends,  
to pray I'll never cease,  
This ditty (which I now will end)  
was only fane in hand.  
to blaze  
the praise,  
Of great Northumberland.   
FINIS.
