Welcome (My Lord) the Glory of this day, Thanks which your Merits call for, now we pay; Instructed by your Company, whose love Is the Main Wheel by which these Triumphs move. Here are the Branches of that ancient Tree Which Time can scarce reduce to Memory: An Ancient numerous Loyal Brotherhood Whence Men have sprung who have been great & good And though their Rooms have been debauched, you know Their Company has hated to be so, But has brave Members in all times brought forth, Conspicuous both for Virtue and for Worth; Witness their Schools and Hospitals, which must Remain till Time turns all things into Dust; Such a Congenial Mystery, that one Would think they're made all others to atone; For by their Arts and Industry they are Makers or Sellers of all sorts of Ware. And the Ingenious Motto that they give Teacheth Men how to labour and to live, SERVE and OBEY; By one Men come to know, And by the other they wise Rulers grow. Birth may advance, or may not, but We see Labour and Art raise Men to Dignity. The Root of Honour Prudent men conclude To be Humility and Gratitude: Nor can They choose but noble Actions do, Having this Patron, and this Pattern You. Who being sublimed above all vulgar reach Do both by Precept and Example teach How Men of Fortune Birth and Honour should Lay out Themselves for their dear Countries good. Blessed is that Commonwealth where Goodmen sway, And People not for fear, but love, Obey. The Speech ended, the whole Body move towards Cheapside and in the Rear of this Scene, and between Foster-Lane and Gutter-Lane, is entertained by another Scene made in manner of an Imperial Crown Garnished with Festoones and Flowers; under which (elevated three Ascents) sits a living figure Representing St. Katherine Patroness of the Company, her hair light brown dishelv'd, her Temples circled with a Coronet of Gold adorned with precious Stones, her Robe of Crimson Sarsenet, a loose Skye-coloured Scarf about her Shoulder with Gold and Silver fringe; on one side of her a Broken Wheel and an Axe, on which she lays one hand, and in the other she bears the Banner of St. George. Her Attendants are Patience, Chastity, Constancy, and Fidelity, who fill the Four Angles of the Stage, habited in White Sarsenet, betokening Innocency, with a Crimson Girdle betokening martyrdom, Sky-coloured Scarves about their Shoulders, Wreaths of Flowers of several Colours on their heads, in one hand they hold the Banner of St. George with this Inscription Victoria: In the other a Shield. At her Foot sits Scientia (alluding to St. Katherine her knowledge in Arts) habited in Sky-coloured Sarsenet; on her head a Crown made in manner of a Celestial Globe, in one hand a Book, in the other the Banner of St. George with the former Motto Victoria. This Scene is presented as the Hyroglyphick of Integrity. And is flanked with two Goats, the Supporters of the Companies Arms, backed with two Boys, each holding in one hand a Banner, in the other a Shield with the Cities and Companies Arms. The Angleses are filled with eight persons, representing Shepherds and Shepherdesses, with Hooks, Scrips, etc. and habited answerable. The SPEECH to the KING. PArdon not Praise, great Monarch! we implore, For showing you no better Sights, nor more: The Greek and Roman Wits (we must confess) Showed greater Fancy, but their Themes were less; For we more excellence in You behold Than they in all their Emperors of old. We hope Your Majesty will not suppose You're with your Jonson's and your Inigoes; And though you make a Court, you're in the City, Whose vein is to be humble, though not witty. To help us You are opportunely come I'th' Wedding day of your Emporium. This day You show as well as see, for You Are both our Triumph and Spectator too. Oh what a Glorious sight 'tis to behold Your City in her Loyal Arms enfold! This Spouse whom You to give her have thought fit, And to his Rule (that's Yours) meekly submit. To Your Indulgence we this Blessing owe, Who to your Subject's peace and joy bestow, May we Your Royal favours still improve, First to Obey, and next rejoice, and love. To the QUEEN. MADAM, THe Brotherhood to whom we Owe Th' occasion and Expense of all this Show, Reaps no small favour from her laying claim Unto that Saint who bore your Sacred name; Under whose Umbrage they have greatly thriven, And Testimonies of their Bounty given: And 'tis their happiness that they relate To this great Cities Princely Magistrate; A Branch sprung out of this undying Stem, And is a Glory to himself and Them. This seems to be a Prophecy of you, And of that happiness which will accrue To this Fraternity, if you would bless Them with your Smiles, and be their Patroness; 'Twill be their Glory while the World endures, When 'tis Recorded that you made them yours. To His LORDSHIP. SIR, When the Heathen Persecution struck At all that at Religion seemed to look, Kath'rine to seal it with her Royal blood In Opposition to their Torments stood. Twice with undaunted courage she appeared To Combat death, and her Faith's Standard Reared; When the Wheel would not do, the Axe was brought, And she with eager haste to meet it sought: Then took her flight above their Fury's reach, And left her Converts the dull World to teach. This is the Saint which is related to Your honoured Company, and so to you Whose Patronage knits your Fraternity In such firm Peace and Love it ne'er shall die. Taught by the Example of this pious Guide, Uphold that Faith for which she boldly died, 'Gainst Faction and Profaneness; By the one She is Defaced, by th' other Overthrown. Root out those spreading and pernicious Weeds Which Clemency in stead of Killing breeds: If you defend this, this will you defend, And make your Name live when your life shall end. Saint Katherine was born in Alexandria of the Blood Royal, she was Learned in all the Sciences, and (before her death) by her learned disputations, she confuted many Philosophers; at whose instigation she was Imprisoned and punished; and being visited in Prison by Faustina the Empress, she converted her to the Christian Faith, with Porplurius and 200. of the Emperor's Soldiers: afterwards she was tied to a Wheel, but was miraculously delivered by the breaking thereof; whereupon she was beheaded on the 25. of November, in the year of our Lord. 310. with the Empress Faustina, in the Reign of Maxentius and Maximanus. There is an Hospital that bears her name to this day, which was dedicated to her by Matilda Wife to King Stephen, and confirmed by Maud the Empress, for the maintenance of many poor People, by the name of the Brother and Sisterhood. It had very large Revenues belonging to it, but through corruption of time and the Governors and trusties, it is much decayed. Upon his Lordship's motion, This Scene falls into the Rear of the former, and near the great Conduit his Lordship is entertained with another Scene, the Hyrogliphick of Honour; the form is made in manner of a Circular Building, beautified and adorned with Flowers and Fruit; The upper part whereof is advanced by two Arms, supporting a Laurel, being the Crest of the Companies Arms, under the Bower (three Ascents) is seated a Beautiful person representing Honour. Her Her Hair dishevelled, her head encompassed with a wreath of Stars, in one hand she holds a Sceptre, in t'other a Crown of Gold (to Crown Merit) her Robe purple Satin, a Scarf of Gold about her Shoulders. Her Attendants are Five, Reason, judgement, Resolution, Fortituds, and Munificence. Reason is habited in Flame coloured Robes, on her head a Garland of Flowers, in one hand a Book open, in the other a Banner. judgement is habited like a Senator with sad coloured Robes, in one hand holds a Scroll in manner of a Record; in the other the figure of some Prince, made in manner of a Seal. Resolution holds a Shield, whereon is painted the heart of a Lion, and the Teeth of a Wolf, her Robes are Crimson Sarsenet trimmed with white, on her head a wreath of Laurel. Fortitude hath on her a Helmet plain, Robes of Lead colour in manner of Armour, she holds a Shield in one hand, whereon is painted a Pillar, and in the other a Banner. Munificence habited like a grave Citizen, in his hand a Gold Purse open. His Lordship drawing near, Reason accosts him in these words, SPEECH. HOnour, the aim of all men, but by few Directly sought, much less attained unto; Whose Glories are not purchased with Pelf, But Virtues, such as centre in yourself; Where she finds Merit from vainglory free, A gallant mind mixed with Humility; Whose upright Actions are praise worthy, still Guided by Reason and not swayed by will: Hither she's come, not for a day or two, But to Eternity will wait on You. Such as through Treason seeks her, them she flies, She hates all Factions and close Mutinies, And shines the brightest both in Church and State When Men love Peace, and a just Magistrate: You are the City's Eye, which must not be Shut, lest you shut out her security; But pry into all private Corners where Suspicion points the least Offenders are: For 'tis a Rule, Such easily dispense With greatest sins that have of small no sense. Your honoured Company their wishes send, That you this year may with such Honour end That King and People may applaud your care, Whose Substitute and Steward now you are. And when you quit this world your memory may Have a perfume that time cannot decay. The Speech ended, his Lordship and his Attendants do pass down the Old jury through a Gallery of Guard, made by the Foot Marshal of the Haberdasher's Company, in their several Distinctions, the Pensioners in the Rear of them with their Targets hung on the top of their Javelins; The Banners flying, Trumpets sounding, and Drums beating until his Lordship and his Attendants be entered into Guildhall to Dinner, in order not only for the welcoming his and the Sheriff's Guests, but also for their own refreshment. Which done, the Company do pass to Haberdashers-Hall, but the Pageants are conveyed down the Old jury into Blackwell-Hall. The Afternoons Business. The Foot Marshal orders the whole Body as in the Morning only the Pensioners in stead of Javelins and Targets, each man hath two Torches for enlightening the Streets, through which the whole Body pass, and for conveying the Aldermen and Members of the Company to their Habitations (if thereto required.) The Body moves up St. Lawrence-Lane towards Paul's Church▪ and all the Pageants are placed on the Southside of Cheapside in these several places, viz. The Scene of Artificers or Humility, near Foster-Lane. The Scene representing Honour, near Woodstreet. The Scene representing St. Katherine or Integrity, and the Goats, near Bread-street. And the Scene representing Magnanimity, near Bow-Church. This last Scene is made in manner of a Mountain, on the Top whereof Magnanimity is mounted on a Lion, holding a Banner of St. George in one hand, and a Sword in the other. The Lion turning his head to Magnanimity, and close by him on each side, are feeding Lambs, Goats, Kids, and Beavers; on the side of the Mountain Bears, Wolves, and other Beasts of Prey, in a snarling posture, envying the happiness of the Lambs being under the Protection of the lion. Magnanimity is habited like a Roman General, on his head a Helmet of Gold with a Plume of Feathers, a Buff-Doublet with Sleeves of Cloth of Gold, and Scarlet Breeches richly laced. This Scene is flanked with two Sea horses, two Tritons mounted on their backs, playing on retorted Music (as at Sea) because the Mountain represents an Island surrounded with the Sea, near the foot whereof sits a person seeming to be Shipwreckt and cast on the Shore, habited like a Sea-Commander. The four Angles of the Stage are filled with four persons representing Seamen. His Lordship drawing near, he rouzeth himself, and (as in a Maze) salutes his Lordship thus, SPEECH. COntract thy Mischiefs to a period, Fate, That I may prove the utmost of thy hate; But see She smiles, and safely casts me on The Land of Promise, plenteous Albion; Where by Instinct I am instructed to Congratulate the Honour waits on You. You (Sir) whose innate Virtues did appear ere your Election in this Hemisphere; And were Examples of a public good, Which claim a greater Privilege than Blood: As you are Merchant and to Traffic tend, So are you both to Land and Sea a Friend; A Merchants generous Breeding is allowed Before those empty vanities, are proud Only of Titles; Then (Sir) in a word A virtuous Man sounds better than my Lord: Your Titles have not changed you, for though thus You are Translated, you are the same to us: And where is centred Magnanimity, There (we conclude) dwells true Nobility; Wisdom and Magistracy should be One, An Individual Species, like the Sun. Your Breast (Sir) is a Fortress to protect The Innocent, and Nocent to reject; * alluding to the Pageant. Vultures and Wolves may show their teeth and grin, But cannot reach their Prey, they are kept in; The generous Lion does their Fury awe, Whilst the Lambs feed, & their breaths fearless draw. May Honour glorify your beloved Name, Though not as * alluding to St. Laurence. Martyr, yet with equal Fame. The Speech ended, his Lordship and the whole Body move towards St. Paul's Wharf, and the several Pageants face about and move towards his Lordship's house, and are placed in manner of a half Moon 'cross the Street, from Lymestreet-end to St. Marry Axe; The Speaker in the Triumph alluding to Humility (placing himself in that of Magnanimity) and that alluding to Integrity with that of Honour; and those two in the midst are flanked with the rest; Also forms sufficient for 33 persons of the Assistants, are set in Front of the said Scenes, with a Stage conveniently mounted for His Majesty's 16 Trumpets, drum's, and Kettle drum's; by which time the whole Body are advanced at a convenient distance from his Lordship's house, and then by the Foot-Marshal filed off for a Guard, each man placing himself to the right of his Leader: The Master and Wardens placed on the said Front; the eldest Livery under the Degree of an Assistant terminate at his Lordship's Gate; The Colours, Trumpets, Banners and Files, being placed at a convenient Distance each from other, do all Sound, Play, and Beat Triumphantly, till his Lordship and the Aldermen come close to the Scenes, where suddenly the four Speakers rise together, and entertain his Lordship as follows. EUGLOGUE. Humility. MY Lord— Integrity. My Lord— Magnanimity. My Lord— Honour. My Lord— Humility. Pray stay, 'Tis fit Humility should lead the way, Integrity. Accompanied with pure Integrity, Magnanimity. And the Minds Buckler Magnanimity; Honour. Honour to Crown the end, Merit rewards, Humil. And in that Sense Humility regards. Integ. Integrity is Heaven's delight, Magn. And he, Dares reach at Stars has Magnanimity: Humil. Nor can his Breast lodge Virtue, that disdains Humility, or an Ingenious pains: Labour and Industry enrich the Land, That Wealth will thrives got by a painful hand; A Magistrate should have a careful Eye To see the Poor have Work, not Starve and Die. Integrity. By Patience, Constancy, Fidelity, (Handmaids to Katherine's spotless Loyalty) A Magistrate is Taught to spend his blood 'Gainst Schism and Faction, for the Churches good. Honour. Reason, though plain, takes judgement by the hand, Leads Courage on, giveth Fortitude Command. points to the person sitting. Princely Munificence whose Mind is free, And Purse still open to Necessity; All which relate to You, and You to Them, They are the Splendour, though You are the gem. Magnanim. This shows a Magistrate should never sleep, But from the Ravenous Wolves his poor Lambs keep; Still to be Armed against the worst of Fate, Should Storms arise to shake his settled State. Honour. There is no Virtue (Sir) Exempt in you, Receive then what deservedly's your due. Humility. The City's wishes, Integrity. And your Companies. Honour. May you be ever in your Prince's Eyes, His Favours Crown you. Magnanimity. And your honoured Name In your Successors Breasts brave Deeds inflame. Integrity. Your Goodness with your Honours still increase, Humility. And stifle those that smother would our Peace. Omnes. Miriades of Blessings (Sir) your Life attend, Your Fame and Honour live, when that doth end. Which done, The Foot-Marshal takes care of all the Silkworks. And the Artificer of the Pageants convey them with what speed they can, some to Haberdasher's hall, the rest to the place where they were Built: By which time most men may imagine (by reason of the great March) the Members concerned therein will be willing to rest. SONG. REpine not, my Children, my Lads nor my Lasses, For labour is stinted to time, and so passes; We sweeten it with our Content and our sleep, And th' Wolf from the door of our Masters do keep: Pointing to the Master. Then cast up your Caps, though Thrummed they be, We shall be as finical one day as he. The Snail that you see (of Proportion) not tall In time doth climb up to the top of a wall; And 'tis an old Proverb that few Men but know, That Children must creep before they can go: Then cast up your Caps, though Thrumed they be, We shall be as finical one day as he. For aught we do know there's ne'er a Lad here But may be a Lord Maior or something as near, And his Majoress may take from this Innocent Rout And give her a hood in stead of a Clout: Then cast up your Caps though Thrummed they be, We shall be as finical one day as he. To serve and obey is no such hard matter, When we find a full jack, and no empty Platter: Then think of your work in the midst of your play, And you'll find it your own another day. Then cast up your Caps, though Thrummed they be, We shall be as finical one day as he. Reader, THe Gentleman, Undertaker of this Business, is not ambitious to have his name known, however his merit may deserve your commendations. The singular Artists, the Master Painters, and other the Master Workmen (I humbly conceive) have performed their parts so well, you cannot (in justice) but give them your applause. And so Good night.
