TO THE RIGHT HONOURABLE Sir THOMAS DAVIES K t, LORD MAYOR of the City of LONDON.  
MY LORD,  
SInce Prudence, Truth, and Loyalty relate  
To the Just Function of a Magistrate,  
Joined with Succession, and Election too,  
The City's pleased, finding all these in You:  
'Tis these, may't please Your Lordship, in a word,  
That have advanced You to the City-Sword,  
And Seat of Magistrates; where, next to th' KING,  
You have a complete Power of Governing:  
And may You prosper in it this whole Year,  
And to the general Citizens appear,  
Rather the Object of their Love than Fear  
(The best Obedience.) Terror may control  
The Body, but 'tis Love that rules the Soul:  
And may that Love so efficacious be,  
You may allure Men to Civility.  
Such are the Wishes and the Prayers of Your  
True Servant, and most humble Orator,  
MY LORD, The most Faithful and Fervent of Your Honourers, Tho. Jordan.   

To the WORSHIPFUL COMPANY OF DRAPERS.  
Gentlemen,  
WIth as much Splendour, Magnitude, Variety, and Aptitude, as the brevity of my Limitations would allow for Designation, Direction, Composition, Correction, and Transcription, I have accomplished Your Commands in the punctual Performances of this Days Triumphs; wherein, although I have squared all my Inventions (according to my ability) by the Rules of Art, I confess I have been more sedulous to indulge and oblige the Worthy Society and Ancient Company of DRAPERS (my Worshipful Patrons, by whom I am employed and gratified) than to humour the querulous dispositions of any private Observator whatsoever. This Show being Calculated for the Meridian of Cheapside, whose numerous Applause in the Public will prove more prevalent to me than the nicer Investigations and peevish Censures of the most curiously currish Critics. If any Person shall make Objection, that my Lines are homespun, let him qualify the qualms of his tender Judgement with a Consideration that my subject matter is Wool, Cloth, the Wealthy and Worthy English Drapers: In the Interim, I submit my Labours to your Judgements, and my Fortunes to Your Friendship, contented with the Honour of having permission to subscribe  
Octob. 29. 1676. Gentlemen, Your faithfully Humble Servant, Tho. Jordan.   

In proper Habits orderly Arrayed, The Movements of the Morning are displayed.  

SElect Citizens i' th' Morning all  
At seven a Clock, do meet at. Drapers-Hall.  
The Masters, Wardens, and Assistants, Joyns  
For the first Rank, in their Gowns faced with Foins.  
The second Order do, in merry moods,  
March in Gowns faced with Budge and Livery Hoods.  
In Gowns and Scarlet Hoods Thirdly appears  
A youthful number of Foins Bachelors.  
Forty Budge Bachelors the Triumph Crowns,  
Gravely attired in Scarlet Hoods and Gowns.  
Gentlemen. Ushers which white Staves do hold  
Sixty; in Velvet Coats and Chains of Gold.  
Next, Thirty more in Plush and Buss there are  
That several Colours Wave, and Banners bear.  
The Sergeant Trumpet Thirty six more brings,  
Twenty the Duke of York's, Sixteen the Kings,  
The Sergeant wears Two Scarfs, whose Colours be  
One the Lord Mayor, the other's the Company.  
The King's Drum-Major followed by Four more  
Of the King's Drums and Fifes, make London roar.  
Seven Drums and Two Fifes more in Vests of Buff  
March with Waste-scarves, and Breeches of Black Stuff.  
Two City Marshals mounted and attended,  
Are by the Company with Scarfs befriended.  
And (next to th' Drums) do Troop it in the Rear.  
But the Foot Marshal doth the next appear;  
Who puts them all in Rank and File, and wears  
A Shoulder Scarf as broad and rich as theirs.  
Attended by Six persons that dare do  
What e'er their Marshal may Command them to,  
Next the Fence-Master troops, and (to defend him)  
Divers with drawn broad bright Swords do attend him.  
Many poor Pensioners that march i'th' Rear,  
With Gowns and Caps, Standards and Banners bear;  
A numerous Troop of Persons that are poor,  
In Azure Gowns and Caps, one hundred more,  
With Javelins and with Targets are all Actors,  
And bear the Arms of their good Benefactors.   

Being thus prepared:  
By the Foot Marshal's Judgement they are guided,  
And into six Divisions are divided.  
Ranked out by two and two: The first that stirs  
Are the poor Company of Pensioners;  
But in the front of them orderly be  
Placed the Ensigns of the Company.  
Ith' Rear of them four Drums and one Fife more,  
Then Pensioners in Coats described before.  
Persons of worth who do in Martial manner,  
Bear each of them a Standard, or a Banner.  
Four Trumpets more to them, and in their Rear  
Two of the Draper's Ensigns march, which bear  
(As by the Herald Painter is expressed)  
The Draught of their Supporters, and their Crest:  
Six Gentleman-ushers in order trudge,  
And after them the Bachelors in budge:  
Marching in measured distance, and endued  
With Order, This Division doth conclude.  
I'th' Rear of them six Trumpets do appear,  
And after them two Gentlemen, that bear  
Two Coats of Arms, which appertaining be  
To th' City and the Draper's Company.  
Then do march up Eight Gentlemen that wears  
The Golden Chains, than the Foins Bachelors,  
In amicable measure, move like Friends  
Filled with one Joy: So this Division ends.  
Two Gentlemen in Velvet Coats arrayed,  
March after them with two Banners displayed;  
Then succeed them Ten Gentlemen-Ushers more,  
In Coats and Chains of Gold described before;  
And gradually after them you'll see  
A very worthy large Society;  
With each of them a Gown and Livery Hood,  
And all Lord Mayors in the Potential Mood.  
I'th' Rear of these (with silver sounds to fit ye)  
Do fall in divers Trumpets of the City;  
And after them two Gentlemen accord,  
To bear the Arms o'th' City and my Lord:  
And then the Gentlemen with equal distance  
That usher in the grave Court of Assistants.  
I'th' Rear of them, four drum's, six Trumpets, be  
Ordered to bring up the Catastrophe.  
Three Gallants gradually follow them,  
Bearing the Banners of the Diadem.  
Kings, Queens, and Cities Ensigns, which engages  
Six Gentlemen to wait on them as Pages;  
The Masters and the Wardens bring up all.  
And thus equipped, they march from Drapers-Hall  
To my Lord's House, where th' Aldermen and He  
Take Horse, and rank according to Degree:  
Which being done, the whole Body in State  
Doth move towards Guild-Hall, but at the Gate  
The new Lord with the old Lord Mayor unites,  
Guarded by Gentlemen, Esquires, and Knights.  
Then thus attired, with Gown, Fur, Hood, and Scarf,  
March all through Kings-street down to Three-Crane-Wharf;  
Where the Lord Mayor and th' Aldermen discharge  
A few Gentlemen Waiters, and take Barge  
At the West end o'th' Wharf; and at the East  
The Court Assistant, Livery, and the best  
Gentlemen-Ushers: Such as stay on shore  
Are Ushers, Foins, and the Budge Bachelor:  
Who for a time, repose themselves and Men,  
Until his Lordship shall return again:  
Who now with several Companies make haste  
To Westminster, but in the way is placed  
A Pleasure-Boat that hath great Guns aboard,  
And with Two Broadsides doth salute my Lord.  
They Row in Triumph all along by th' Strand,  
But when my Lord and Companies do Land  
At the New Palace-Stairs orderly all  
Do make a Lane to pass him to the Hall;  
Where having took an Oath that He will be  
Loyal and faithful to His Majesty,  
His Government, His Crown and Dignity,  
With other Ceremonials said and done,  
In Order to his Confirmation;  
Sealing of Writs in Courts, and such like things,  
As show his power abstracted from the King's,  
He takes his leave o'th' Lords and Barons, then  
With his Retinue he re-treats again  
To th' Waterside and (having given at large  
To th' Poor of Westminster) doth Re-imbarge,  
And scud along the River till he comes  
To Blackfriars Stairs, where Guns and thundering Drums  
Proclaim his Landing; when he's set ashore,  
He is saluted by three Volleys more   
By (the Military Glory of this Nation) the Company of Artillery-men, under the Conduct of the most accomplished for Arms and Arts, the Right Worshipful Sir Thomas Player, Knight, they being all in their Martial Ornaments of Gallantry; some in Buff with Headpieces, many of Massy Silver. There is also the old Warlike Honour of this Nation, bravely revived, and is at this time a most Heroic Rarity; which is, that divers Gentlemen Archers, completely Armed, with long Bows and Swords, with War Arrows, and Pallisades, with Hats turned up on one side, on which are tied large Knots of green Ribon, formed into a Regiment, march under the Command of the Right Honourable Sir Robort Peyton Knight, and Colonel of the said Regiment.  
From Black Friars Stairs they march through a Gallery of the aforesaid Bachelors and Gentlemen-Ushers, who did not go to Westminster; and likewise the Pensioners and Banners being set in Order, ready to march, the Foot-Marshal leads the way, and in the Rear of the Companies up Blackfriars Stairs by the Channel up to Fleet-Bridge, and sothrough Ludgate-Street and S. Paul's Churchyard, into Cheapside, where his Lordship is entertained by the first Scene or Pageant, as followeth.   

The First Pageant described.  
A Temple erected according to the Composite Order in Architecture, on whose extremity, eminently elevated, standeth the Figure of Atlas bearing a Monde. The whole Structure is artfully beautified with proper, various, and rich Gilding and Painting; in the Medium of the Frontispiece of this Temple in a Throne-like Seat, majestically sitteth MINERVA the Goddess of Arts and Arms, and round about her are properly and distinctly placed the Seven Liberal Sciences, viz. Grammar, Logic, Rhetoric, Arithmetic, Music, Astronomy, and Geometry, all of them attired in apt significant Habits as Ladies, according to their several Functions, as followeth.  
1. Grammar, In a Cloth of Silver Robe, a green Mantle, dark brown Hair; on her Head a Wreath of Bays, the leaves tipped with Gold; Scarlet-coloured Silk Stockings; white Buskins laced with green Silk and Silver Ribon; in her hand the King's Banner.  
2. Logic, In a Purple Robe semined with Stars of Gold; a carnation Mantle, fringed with Gold; a light brown Hair; on her Head a Wreath of Myrtle; Pearl-coloured Silk Hose; red Buskins laced and surfled with Gold Ribon; holding in her right Hand the City's Banner.  
3. Rhetoric; In a florid Robe of divers coloured Sarsnet, on it a Gold Mantle; a fair Hair, and on her Head a Chaplet of Flowers elegantly interweaved; Rose-coloured Silk Hose; yellow Buskins, laced with Sky-coloured Ribon; and in her Hand a Banner of my Lord Mayors.  
4. Arithmetic; Enrobed with Cloth of Gold; a white Sarsnet Vail, maculated with divers Figures; a bright Hair; a Coronet of Gold, on which are many Characters in black; watchet-coloured Silk Hose; purple Buskins, laced and surfled with Aurora-coloured Ribon, bearing the Companies Banner.  
5. Music; In a Rose-coloured Robe; a Shoulder-Scarf embroidered with Flowers, fringed with Gold and Silver; a bright flaxen Hair, entrameled with various-coloured Ribon, on which is a Garland of Roses, Lilies, Carnations, Tulips, Pansies, with all variety of Blossoms; bearing a Banner of the Kings.

7. Geometry; In a grass-green Robe; a Scarlet Mantle fringed with Silver; black-brown Hair; on her Head a Coronet of Battlements and Towers like a Fortification in Silver, and Gold, viz. the Battlements Gold, and the Tower's Silver; purple Silk Stockings; Gold Buskins laced with Scarlet Ribon; bearing the Banner of Sir Henry Fitz-Alwyn, a Member of this Company, and the first Lord Mayor of London, who continued in that Dignity 24 Years without intermission.  
Lastly, in front, at the Foot of Minerva, sitteth a very grave Person representing GOVERNMENT, in a long purple Robe lined and faced with Ermine; a short Border of grey Hair, on which is a close Cap embroidered with Gold; and upon that a purple Velvet four-cornered Cap; in his Hand a Book well bound and strung, a pair of Cordivant Gloves with rich large tops embroidered with Gold, personating the old Roman Orator CICERO.  

The SPEECH.  
BY great Minerva's Charms, from Shades below  
I'm raised from rest, to Celebrate this Show;  
My Name is Marcus Tullius Cicero;  
A Roman, One, whom Providence did please  
T'illuminate with all the Sciences,  
(Which here are circumsedent) I am sent  
To personate a Civil Government,  
And here to meet (as I do understand)  
A Praefect armed with a Praetorian Band;  
I mean, his Censors and grave Senators.  
The Praetorship, my Lord, this Year, is yours;  
I wish you good success, Sir, in th'Event,  
For there's no living without Government.  
Let Justice guide your Heart; you'll have to do  
With many Men, and many Natures too:  
Let nothing bias you, Friendship nor Pelf;  
Give good Example; live upright your Self:  
The Ruin of a Nation then begins,  
When Purple Robes do cover Scarlet Sins;  
Old Rome experienced it, her fatal Story  
Can say, it made her sink in all her Glory.  
Let all your Passions and Affections be  
Confined within the bounds of Equity.  
Correct those Knaves, who by false force and might,  
Would Hector modest men out of their Right.  
Let not your Pleaders, at what rate they please,  
Daunt, and discourage honest Witnesses;  
Cut off Offenders; let that gaudy Witch  
The silken Miss, be lashed out of her Itch:  
Purge this fair City from such foul Pollution,  
The Laws are good, put them in Execution.  
If Malefactors be not kept in awe,  
Lust, Theft, and Murder will become a Law.  
Veil not your Virtues; I have understood  
By Fame, that your Abilities are good  
In points of Learning, therefore I bring these,  
Minerva, and the Seven Sciences,  
To gratulate your Dignity, and be  
A happy Omen to your Mayoralty.  
Distribute Right to all, be it friend or foe:  
These were the Maxims of old Cicero.  
The Speech ended, the Scene sails through the Ocean of the turbulent Spectators, who like Billows dash themselves against one another, with as much noise and no less danger: And his Lordship, with his Right Worshipful Retinue, advanceth through Cheapside, where against Milk-street End his passage is obstructed, and his Patience invited to behold a second Pageant, the particulars of which are manifested in these succeeding Explanations.    

The Second Pageant  
IS a Chariot of Triumph (according to the Scythian mode of Building) lostily erected, and curiously embellished, in accurate decoration, with variety of rich work in Gilding and Painting, with divers Landscapes and Martial Trophies, upon whose eminent Seat is mounted in mighty Majesty a proper Person, every way adapted to represent Victorious TAMBURLAINE, who at the first was no more than a common Shepherd, with his gray Coat, Scrip, Sheephook, Bottle, Bag, Dog, and Tar-box, and kept Sheep on the Mountains of Scythia; but in process of time, as Fortune would have it, he rose to the height of a great General, who with 900000 Soldiers overcame Bajazet the Great Turk who had 500000 Soldiers, and after the Victory put him in an Iron Cage, which was carried about to be his Footstool when he got on his Horse (as Bajazet told him he would have done to him if the Victory had been his). This Battle was fought Anno Christi 1398.  

Tamburlaine 's Habit, Person, Nature, and Shape described.  
A Person of middle Dimensions, of terrible Aspect, morose Disposition, yet seldom passionate, cool and attentive in Counsels, patient in Designs, wise in Direction, bold in Execution, just in Government, austere in Commands, severe in Punishments, and liberal in Rewards; in a Vest of silver, with a purple silk Shash about his waste, a Scimitar by his side, a large Cloth of gold Tunick down to the ground, white Buskins with gold Ribon, a bare white Neck, a pendent Jewel in his left Ear, a very small black Beard, no Hair on his Head, a silver Turbat, with a rich Jewel, a Sprig, and three Falls, blue, white, and aurange-colour; a Coronet of Gold round about the top of his Turbat; in his Hand a Banner of the King's: Attended with all those Warlike Representators which properly wait on so great a Conqueror, who sit beneath him in his Chariot, viz. Discipline, Conduct, Courage, and Victory, thus properly arrayed.  
1. Discipline; A Man, in a scarlet-coloured silk Robe; a silver Mantle fringed with gold; black curled Hair, with a Coronet of Trophies; a Scimitar by his side; silver Buskins laced with watchet Ribon on yellow Stockings; bearing the King's Banner.  
2. Conduct; In a Robe of French green, a Scarf of gold, bright brown Hair, on his Head a Wreath of Oak, a Scimitar by his side, purple Hose, red Buskins laced and surfled with silver Ribon; with a Banner of the Lord Mayor's.  
3. Courage; A Person of Heroic Visage, with short brown Hair, on it a golden Coronet, a flame-coloured short Robe, a sky-coloured Scarf fringed with Silver, blush-colour Hose, blue Buskins with carnation Ribon; in his Hand a Banner of the Cities.  
4. Victory; In a Purple Robe, a Scarf of Gold; bright Hair, on it a Wreath of Laurel tipped with Gold; yellow Buskins surfled with purple Ribon; a Scimitar drawn, and on it several Gold Crowns and Laurel Wreaths; bearing a Banner of the Draper's Company.  
This Chariot is drawn by the Supporters of the Companies Arms, which are two golden Lions pellited; on which are mounted two Negro Princes in Robes of Gold, girt about with carnation Scarfs, crowned with Coronets of diverse-coloured Feathers, which are Tamberlain's Postilions, and advance, one the King's, the other the Lord Mayor's Banners; these Lions are led by two Asian captived Princes, in Royal Robes and Crowns of Gold.  
Tamburlaine rising up, makes this Address to his Lordship.   

The SPEECH.  
THough I in this Victorious Garb appear,  
Armed with a Gauntlet and my Scimitar,  
I was a Shepherd, that with watchful pains  
Kept divers Flocks of Sheep on Scythian Plains:  
And hearing that the worthiest of all Trade's  
Triumph today, I come from silent Shades  
Of Rest, to add some lustre to the Day,  
And without ostentation display  
The Grandeur of a Shepherd: My Great Name  
(Long since recorded in the Book of Fame)  
Is TAMBURLAINE, who marched with no lessthen  
An Army of Nine hundred thousand Men,  
Took BAJAZET Prisoner, with all his Power,  
Their Great and August Turkish Emperor,  
Caged him, and dragged him, ordered him as he  
Freely confessed he would have ordered me,  
Had he been Victor.  
Thus with my Shepherd's Life I did begin,  
I governed Flocks of Sheep and Fields of Men.  
But here's a Person, by whose reverend hue  
I can discover is a Shepherd too.  
That Title, Sir, cannot impair Your Fame,  
Kings, Princes, Priests, and Prophets own that Name.  
You have a Flock that may, for aught I know,  
Try both Your Conduct and Your Courage too:  
In this Great Fold many fierce Spirits lurk,  
As hard to be reduced as the Great Turk.  
There is a Wolf doth neither bark nor grin,  
Which eats the Sheep, and puts himself i'th' Skin.  
When such as these break in, You may, my Lord,  
Like me, lay down Your Hook, take up Your Sword.  
But if Love will reduce such as do stray,  
I must confess it is the happiest way.  
These Lions which in Triumph now draw me  
(Rid on, and led by Captive Princes) be  
Supporters to the DRAPER'S COMPANY;  
Who do with liberal Expense display  
Their Love in Triumphs for Your Lordship's Day;  
To whom You now are an united Brother:  
Long may You live to honour one another.  
This Oration concluded, my Lord gave evident demonstrations of Acceptation, and with the Right Worshipful His Praetorian Retinue, the Scarlet Senators, they troop it through the throng; but by the way my Lord is civilly intercepted with    

The Third Pageant,  
BEing FORTUNE'S BOWER, which is an elegant beautiful Square Edifice, erected in the Centre of a Spring-Garden, decorate and adorned with the delectable Embroidery of Festoons and Cornucopia's, containing all varieties of Flowers and Fruits which every Season of the Year produceth. In the most eminent and conspicuous position of this Structure, sitteth the benevolent and generally adored Goddess BONA FORTUNA, in a Robe of Gold interweaved with Purple, a Carnation Mantle richly adorned and embroidered with variety of precious Jewels, a long curled bright lovely brown Hair, a triple Crown upon her Head clouded and beamed, (in the form of that Charge which is upon the Worshipful Draper's Corporation Coat) Carnation silk Hose, purple Buskins laced and surfled with Sky-colour and Gold Ribon; in her right hand a green silk Banner charged with Crowns, Sceptres, Globes, Mitres, and Crosiers, Or. and in distinct vicinities about her sit her Triumphant Favourites, viz. Prosperity, Gladness, Peace, Plenty, Honour, and Riches.  
1. Prosperity, In a Scarlet coloured silk Robe, a Mantle of Silver, flaxen Hair long and curled, a Wreath of Laurel pointed with Silver, Pearl Hose, Purple Shoes with Aurenge-coloured strings, holding a a Banner of the Virgin, the Draper's Patroness.  
2. Gladness, A Lady of smiling Countenance, in a green Robe, a Mantle of divers Colours, embroidered with Flowers, a bright brown Hair, curled, with all coloured Ribon, a Garland of Myrtle, yellow Silk Hose, Sky-coloured Buskins laced with Carnation Ribon, bearing a Banner of the Kings.  
3. Peace, In a white Robe semined with gold Stars, a Carnation Mantle fringed with Gold, a dark brown Hair, a Crown of Olive, Gold-coloured Hose, silver Buskins laced with Carnation Ribon, with the City's Banner.  
4. Plenty, In a Vest of Gold and Silver upon Roman Bases of Carnation, richly adorned with silver and gold Lace, a green silk and silver Mantle, purple Buskins laced up with gold, a blackish curled Hair, a Wreath of Fruits, Leaves, and Flowers, in one hand a Cornucopia, in the other the Golden Fleece.  
5. Honour, In a purple Robe powdered with Stars of gold, a scarlet Mantle sringed with gold, black Hair, on it a Diadem, watchet silk Hose, white Buskins laced with gold Ribon; bearing a Banner of my Lords.  
6. Riches, In a Robe of Silver embroidered with Gold and Jewels, a watchet Mantle fringed with Gold, fair Hair, a Duke's Crown, Carnation silk Hose, gold Buskins laced with silver and gold Ribon, bearing the Companies Banner.  
In the Front of this Stage, before the Bower, is planted the Ram, being the Golden Fleece, which is the Companies Crest, on which rideth a beautiful Boy with flaxen Hair, crowned with Roses, in a Robe of white Sarsenet, and a Carnation Mantle fringed with Gold, white Shoes and Stockings, bearing the Banner of the Virgin.  
His Lordship coming to a convenient Stand, Fortune maketh an Address to him in this Speech:  

The SPEECH of FORTUNE.  
THough I appear now in Great Plenty's Bower,  
I ne'er was here presentially before,  
Yet am that Goddess the whole World adore.  
I fill the Seaman's Sail, and guide his Keel,  
When in the Raging Ocean he doth reel:  
Before my Shrine the Greatest Princes kneel.  
When Jason with his Argo fetched the Fleece,  
Assisted with his Demigods of Greece,  
By my Great Power 'twas gained, and there it is.  
My Name's Bona Fortuna: It is I  
That wait on every good Society,  
And am the Genius of this COMPANY,  
The Ancient Famous DRAPERS, Men of Treasure,  
That are beatified with Peace and Pleasure;  
Who Govern by Right Rule, and Live by Measure;  
That temperately Trade upon the Growth  
Of their own Nation, hating Pride and Sloth,  
Cutting their Coat according to their Cloth.  
Their Manufacture doth in England grow:  
And in the Winter, when Boreas doth blow,  
And all the City wears a Veil of Snow,  
For Cloth and Books Men will have more to do  
In Paul's Churchyard than Pater-Noster-Row:  
Fortune has said it, and it shall be so.  
'Tis for Your sake, My Lord, that I appear:  
When You launched forth, 'twas I was at the Steer  
To guide You hither, and I'll guard You here.  
When CAESAR'S Seaman a strong Storm sailed through,  
He calmed His Pilots Fears, letting him know,  
He carried CAESAR, and His Fortune too.  
I am the Emblem of a POWER Immense,  
Fortune by Name, but (in the Sacred Sense)  
I Typify ETERNAL PROVIDENCE.  
My Honoured Lord, the KING Embarks You now  
For a Year's Voyage; doubt not, though Storms blow,  
The Power that brought You on, will bring You through.  
And as Your Power doth from CAESAR spring,  
Assume His Courage too in every thing:  
He's blessed, that doth obey GOD and the KING.  
His Lordship moving further, showing manifest Symptoms of his Acceptation in the Pageant and Speech, meeteth another Scene of Drolls near St. Laurence-lane end.    

The Fourth Pageant.  
WHich is a kind of Chase, artfully contrived with Trees, Grass, Bushes, Birds, Flowers, Shepherds, Shepherdesses and Sheep on one part of the Stage; and on the other side Persons at Work, as, an Old Woman Spinning of Yarn for woollen Cloth, another as busy Carding of Wool, a third is Picking of it; and in the middle of them are a crew of mad frolic Shepherds, piping, dancing, tumbling, curvetting, with many ridiculous gestures, which the worse it is done, the better it pleases, being intended for a description of Disorder, and an elaborate expression of Confusion; where since no Song can be heard, I have omitted it, because it would be rendered as ineffectual as the sound of a Lute in a Whirlwind.  
This Droll being past, the Foot-Marshal having placed the Assistants, Livery, and the Companies on both sides of King's-Street, and their Pensioners with their Targets hung on the tops of their Javelins; in the rear of them the Ensign-bearers, Drums and Fifes in the front; and hasten the Foins and Budg-Batchelors together with all the Gentlemen-Ushers to Guild-Hall; where his Lordship is again saluted by the Artillery-men with three Volleys more, which conclude their duty: His Land Attendants pass through the Gallery or Lane so made, into Guild-Hall; after which the Companies repair to the Hall to Dinner; and their several Silkworks and Triumphs are likewise conveyed into Blackwell-Hall; and the Officers aforesaid, and the Children that sit in the Pageant, there refresh themselves, until his Lordship hath dined at Guild-Hall; where, to make the Feast more famous, his Lordship is illustrate with the splendour and presence of Their most Excellent Majesties, The Duke of York, Prince Rupert, the Duke of Monmouth, the Archbishop of Canterbury, and all the other Bishops, (at this time in London.) all the Resident Ambassadors and Envoys, all the Lords of the Privy Council, all the principal  
Officers of State, all the Judges, Sergeants at Law and their Ladies.  
His Lordship and the Guests being all seated, the Music of the City are in readiness to express their skill, and finger their Violins and Lutes with good skill and excellent humour, and aster a new Lesson or two being played, a Person of a good Fancy with a Musical mouth, begins a new Song in Commendation of the Founders of New Bethlehem.  

SONG.  
I.  
THis is a Structure fair,  
Royally raised;  
The pious Founders are  
Much to be praised,  
That in such times of need,  
When Madness doth exceed,  
To build this House of Bread,  
Noble New Bedlam.   

II.  
'Tis beautiful and large  
In Constitution,  
Deserves a Liberal Charge  
Of Contribution.  
If I may reach so high,  
To sing a Prophecy,  
Their Names shall never die  
That built New Bedlam.   

III.  
Methinks the Lawyers may  
Consult together,  
And Contribute, for they  
Send most Men thither;  
They put'em to much pain,  
With Words that cramp the Brain,  
Till Bedlam's filled with Plaintiff and Defendant.   

IV.  
Quacking Physicians should  
Give Money freely,  
They maculate men's Blood,  
And make them feely;  
With Hydrargyrum Pills,  
Their Reasons and their Wills  
They ruin, and this fills  
Most part of Bedlam.   

V.  
So good a Work as this,  
Cannot want Actors;  
But I'll no more insist  
On Benefactors,  
But hint, such as I see  
Hypochondriack be,  
And are in some degree  
Fit for New Bedlam.   

VI  
That Amorous Soul that is  
In Love a Quaker,  
And doth adore a Miss  
More than his Maker,  
Decks her in Silk and Furr,  
Then turns Idolater,  
Kneels down and Worships her,  
He's fit for Bedlam.   

VII.  
The young Man that has got  
A golden Talon,  
And hath a brainsick Plot  
To seem a Gallant;  
That richly is arrayed,  
Spends Land, and Shop, and Trade,  
To be a Hector made;  
Is fit for Bedlam.   

VIII.  
The City-Lad that sings,  
Rhimes, drolls, and dances,  
And all his business flings  
Away for Fancies;  
He that lets his Angels fly,  
'Til he's not worth one Peny,  
To study Poetry,  
Is fit for Bedlam.   

IX.  
Whilst some with Brandy burn  
Their Guts with drinking,  
Philosophers do turn  
Their Heads with thinking;  
He who is such a one,  
As studies for the Stone,  
Til's Brains and his Money's gone,  
Prepares for Bedlam.   

X.  
That Churl who Gold hath won,  
And dares not use it;  
But hath a squandring Son  
Doth game and lose it:  
His Brains do greatly err,  
He that with Water clear  
Would fill a Colander,  
Must do't in Bedlam.   

XI.  
He that with an Estate  
Weds a poor Beauty,  
Who to Disdain and Hate,  
Turns Love and Duty;  
It doth his Reason daunt,  
He has a Bargain on't,  
Worse than the Elephant,  
And's fit for Bedlam.   

XII.  
I could tell many more,  
(I have enroled 'em)  
Should I declare my store,  
As I have told 'em;  
With Mortar, Brick and Stone,  
Could they their Building run  
From thence to Islington,  
'Twould never hold 'em.   
Dinner being ended, and Night approaching, his Lordship being attended by a private Retinue of his own Company, takes Coach, and is conducted to his Mansion House in Lumbard-street (where Sir Robert Vyner and Sir joseph Sheldon kept their Mayoralty) without that troublesome Night Ceremony which hath been formerly, when St. Paul's Church was standing.  
When his Lordship is housed, those that attend on him depart with order and convenience; and the Triumphs and Silkworks are by the care of the Master's Artificers lodged for that Night in Blackwel-Hall, till the next Day following, and then they are to be conveyed to Drapers-Hall. To close up all, the Artists and Artificers (each of them deserving ample Commendation) bid you Good Night.  
FINIS.
