THE RELATION OF His Majesty's ENTERTAINMENT Passing through the City of LONDON, To His CORONATION: WITH A DESCRIPTION OF THE Triumphal Arches, AND SOLEMNITY; By JOHN OGILBY. LONDON, Printed by Tho. Roycroft, for Rich. Marriott, in St Dunstan's Churchyard in Fleetstreet, 1661. TO THE RIGHT HONOURABLE THE LORD MAYOR, COURT of aldermans, COMMITTEE for the CORONATION, And the rest of the Worthy Members of this Honourable CITY. THE RELATION of this Solemnity, and of what, in pursuit of their Commands, He undertook, and hath completed, is Humbly Dedicated, by Their Most Obedient Servant, JOHN OGILBY. HIS MAJESTIE'S ENTERTAINMENT Passing through the City of LONDON TO HIS CORONATION; WITH A DESCRIPTION OF THE TRIUMPHAL ARCHES and CEREMONIES. THE City of LONDON, participating the greatest share of that inexpressable Happiness, which these Kingdoms have received by the glorious Restauration of our Sovereign to his Throne, and of us His Subjects to our Religion, Laws, and Liberties, after a dismal Night of Usurpation, and Oppression, and proportionably exceeding in their Loyalty, have taken the occasion of His MAJESTIE'S Coronation, to express their Joy with the greatest Magnificence immaginable: imitating therein the ancient Romans, who at the Return of their Emperors, erected Arches of Marble, which though They, by reason of the Shortness of Time could not equal in Materials, yet do theirs far exceed the others in Number and stupendious Proportions. They have not herein spared any Cost to manifest their affectionate Duty to the KING, considering, that, if ever excessive Profusions of this nature might be justified, the present should be allowed, the occasion thereof being the most Miraculous, and Joyful of any, that ever happened. And to the intent, that the Ingenuous may be instructed, the Malevolent silenced, and Misinformations prevented, it is thought fit to publish a perfect Description of the Solemnity. MONDAY, April the two and twentieth, His MAJESTY goes from the Tower, through the City, to Whitehall. In his passage through Crouched Friars, He is entertained with Music, a Band of eight Waits placed on a Stage. Near Algate, another Band of six Waits entertain Him in like manner with Music, from a Balcony, built to that Purpose. In Leaden Hall-street, near Lime-street End, is erected the First Friumphal Arch, after the Doric Order. On the North-side, on a Pedestal before the Arch, is a Woman personating REBELLION, mounted on a Hydra, in a Crimson Robe, torn, Snakes crawling on her Habit, and begirt with Serpents, her Hair Snaky, a Crown of Fire on her Head, a bloody Sword in one Hand, a charming Rod in the other. Her Attendant CONFUSION, in a deformed Shape, a Garment of several ill-matched Colours, and put on the wrong way; on her Head, Ruins of Castles, torn Crowns, and broken Sceptres in each Hand. On the South Pedestal is a Representation of BRITTAIN'S MONARCHY, supported by LOYALTY, both Women; Monarchy, in a large Purple Robe, adorned with Diadems, and Sceptres, over which a lose Mantle, edged with blue and silver Fringe, resembling Water, the Map of Great Britain drawn on it, on her Head London, in her right Hand, Edinburgh; in her left, Dublin: Loyalty all in White, three Sceptres in her right Hand, three Crowns in her left. The first Painting on the Southside is a Prospect of His majesty's Landing at Dover-Castle, Ships at Sea, great Guns going off, one kneeling and kissing the King's Hand, Soldiers, Horse, and Foot, and many People gazing: Above, ADVENTUS AUG. The whole Tablet representing His majesty's blessed Arrival. Beneath the Painting this Motto, IN SOLIDO RURSUS FOR TUNA LOCAVIT. Alluding to that of Virgil, Multa dies variusque labour, mutabilis aevi Rettulit in melius, multos alterna revisens Lusit, & in solido rursus Fortuna locavit. Thus rendered, " The various Works of Time, and many Days, " Often Affairs from worse to better raise, " Fortune reviewing those She tumbled down, " Sporting restores again unto the Crown. The Painting on the North-side, opposite to this, is a Trophy with decollated Heads, having over it, ULTOR A TERGO DEUS. Taken out of Horace, — sequitur Rebels Ultor a tergo Deus— " Gods Vengeance Rebels at the heels pursues. This Tablet representing in a Trophy the late Example of God's Justice upon the Rebels, who committed that most horrid Murder upon his Majesty's Royal Father of blessed Memory. To which Rebels the Motto beneath also referreth. AUSI IMMANE NEFAS AUSOQUE POTITI. Said by Virgil of those, who were, for the like Crimes, condemned to the Pains of Erebus, as he closes the Description of it in the Sixth of his Aeneis, Ausi omnes immane nefas, ausoque potiti; " All dared bold Crimes, and thrived in what they dared. The Painting over the Middle Arch represents the King, mounted in calm Motion, USURPATION flying before him, a Figure with many ill-favoured Heads, some bigger, some lesser, and one particularly shooting out of his Shoulder, like CROMWELL'S; Another Head upon his Rump, or tail; Two Harpies with a Crown chased by an Angel; Hell's Jaws opening. Under the said Representation of the King pursuing Usurpation, is this Motto, VOLVENDA DIES EN ATTULIT ULTRO. Taken out of the Aeneis, lib. 9 TURN, Quod optanti Divum promittere Nemo Auderet, volvenda dies, en! attulit ultro. " What none of all the Gods durst grant, implored, " Successive Time does of its own accord. Above the Arch on two Pedestals, southward, and North-wards, stand the Statues of King JAMES, and King CHARLES I. In the Middle somewhat higher, just over the Arch, the Statue of His Sacred Majesty. Under that of King James; DIVO JACOBO. Under that of King Charles I. DIVO CAROLO. Under that of His Majesty this following Inscription; D. N. CAROLO II. D. G. BRITANNIARUM IMP. OPT. MAX. UBIQUE VENERANDO, SEMPER AUG. BEATISSIMO AC PIISSIMO, BONO REIP. NATO, DE AVITA BRITANNIA, DE OMNIUM HOMINUM GENERE MERITISSIMO, P. P. EXTINCTORI TYRANNIDIS, RESTITUTORI LIBERTATIS, FUNDATORI QUIETIS, OB FELICEM REDITUM, EX VOTO L. M. P. S. P. Q. L. Behind the said Figure of Charles II. in a large Table is deciphered the ROYAL OAK bearing Crowns, and Sceptres, instead of Acorns; amongst the Leaves, in a Label, MIRATURQUE NOVAS FRONDES ET NON SUA POMA. —" Leaves unknown " Admiring, and strange Apples not her Own. As designing its Reward for the Shelter afforded His Majesty after the Fight at Worcester: an expression of Virgil's, speaking of the Advancement of Fruits by the Art of Graffing. The upper Paintings on the East-side are Ruinous, representing the Disorder the Kingdom was in, during His majesty's Absence; with this Motto, EN QUO DISCORDIA CIVESI But on the Westside they are finished, to represent the Restauration of our Happiness by His majesty's Arrival; the Motto, FELIX TEMPORUM REPARATIO On the Royal Oak, in a Label, ROBUR BRITANICUM. Over the Great Table, REDEUNT SATURNIA REGNA. Under King Charles II. RESTITUTOR URBIS. The Painting on the South-West-side represents the Lord Mayor delivering to the King the Keys of the City. In the Niches are four Figures. The first on the Southside, a Woman in pleasant Colours; the Emblem on her Shield, a terrestrial Globe, the Sun rising, Bats, and Owls flying to the Shadow; the Word, EXCOECAT CANDOUR. The Second hath on her Escutcheon a Swarm of Bees, whetting their Stings, the Word, PRO REGE EXACUUNT. The Third, on the North-side, hath on Her Shield a Mountain burning, Cities, and Vine-yards destroyed, and ruined; the Word, IMPIA FOEDERA. The Fourth hath on Her Escutcheon an Arm, as it were out of the Clouds; in the Hand a naked Sword: The Motto, DISCITE JUSTITIAM MONITI. Eight Mutes above, on Pedestals; four in White, four in Crimson. The Music of this Fabric is ten Drummers, flanking Rebellion; twelve Trumpets flanking Monarchy. Aloft under the two Devastations, twelve Trumpets, four Drums. Within the Arch, on two Balconies, six Trumpets, four Drums. While the Train passeth along, the Drums beat the Marches of several Countries, and the Trumpets sound several Levets. At which time, His Majesty drawing near, the Drums turn their March to a Battle, the Trumpets sound a Charge, and on a sudden Rebellion rouseth up herself, at which, Drums, and Trumpets ceasing, Rebellion addresses to his Majesty the following Speech. Stand! Stand! whoever You are! this Stage is Ours. The Names of Princes are inscribed on Flowers, And Whither them! Stand! You must Me know, To Kings, and Monarchy a deadly Foe; Me, who dare bid You midst Your Triumphs Stand, In the Great City of Your Native Land: I am Hell's Daughter, Satan's Eldest Child, When I first cried, the Powers of Darkness smiled, And my Glad Father, Thundering at my Birth, Unhinged the Poles, and shook the fixed Earth. My dear Rebellion (that shall be thy Name, Said He) Thou Emperors, and Kings shalt tame, No Right so good, Succession none so long, But thou shalt Vanquish by thy Popular Throng: Those Legions, which ●enlarge our Power we send Throughout the World, shall Thee (my Dear) attend. Our mighty Champions, the seven Deadly Sins, By Malice, Profit, Pleasure, all their Gins, Bring to Our Kingdom some few spotted Souls; Thou shalt by Treason hurry them in Shoals. Would You now know what Interest I have here? Hydra I ride: great Cities are my Sphere: I Sorc'ry use, and hag Men in their Beds, With Commonwealths, and Rotas fill their Heads, Making the Vulgar in Fanatique Swarms Court Civil War, and dote on Horrid Arms; 'Twas I, who, in the late unnatural Broils, Engaged three Kingdoms, and two Wealthy Isles: I hope, at last, to march with Flags unfurled, And tread down Monarchy through all the World. At which Words, Monarchy, and Loyalty, unveiling themselves, Rebellion starts as affrighted, but recollecting herself, concludes her Speech thus. Ah! Britain, Ah! standest thou Triumphant there, Monarchick Isle? I shake with horrid Fear. Are thy Wounds whole? Upon thy Cheek fresh Smiles? Is Joy restored to these late mournful Isles? Ah! must He enter, and a King be Crowned? Then, as He riseth, sink we under Ground. Rebellion having ended her Speech, Monarchy entertains His Majesty with the following. To Hell, foul Fiend, shrink from this glorious Light, And hid thy Head in Everlasting Night. Enter in Safety, Royal Sir, this Arch, And through Your joyful Streets in Triumph march; Enter our Sun, our Comfort, and our Life; No more these Walls shall breed Intestine Srife. Henceforth Your People only shall contend In Loyalty each other to transcend, May Your Great Actions, and immortal Name, Be the whole Business and Delight of Fame. May You, and Yours, in a Perpetual Calm Be Crowned with Laurel, and Triumphant Palm, And All Confess, whilst they in You are Blest, I, MONARCHY, of Governments am Best, Monarchy having ended her Speech, the Trumpets sound pleasant Levets, and the Drums beat a lofty English March, whilst His Majesty, the Nobility, and the Rearguard pass on, Upon His majesty's Advance to the East-India House in Leaden-Hall-Street, the East-India Company take occasion to express their dutiful Affections to His Majesty in manner following. * This Entertainment was designed, and the Speeches made by a Person of Quality. First, a Youth in Indian Habit, attended by two Black-Moors, is sent out to bespeak the King's Expectation, kneeling before His Horse in these Words; Stay, Royal Sir, here comes an Indian, Who brings along a full fraught Caravan Of perfect Loyalty, and Thanks, to pay, As Your due Tribute, on this glorious Day. In the mean while another Youth, in an Indian Vest, mounted upon a Camel, led out by two Black-Moors, & other Attendants, the Camel having two Panniers filled with Jewels, Spices, and Silks, to be scattered among the Spectators, addresseth himself to His Majesty, as followeth. Avaunt, you Glorious Trifles of the East, Pearls, Diamonds, Rubies, Saphires, and the Best Of Aromaticks, and your Silken Toys, We're Rich enough in our Completed Joys. Your Sacred Person, Royal Sir, hath brought Home all the Wealth, that can be found, or thought The Riches of both Indies are but Poor, Compared with our renewed Carolean Store. we'll blame that Fire no more, that scorched our Nest Of Spicy Trade, since we see You, the Best Of Kings, Rise from the Ashes of that Flame, That burned our First Right Phoenix of Your Name. For You have outdone Solomon, and made Provision for a more than Ophir Trade; Among Your first of unexpected Cares Enlarged our Charter, and dispelled our Fears Of the encroaching Holland's Rival Force. Nor can we doubt, but by the bounteous Source Of Your Successful Right, not only We, But all the Merchants of Your Realm shall see This Empory the Magazine of All That's Rich, from Phoebus' Rising to his Fall; And Your Imperial Title be the same In Deed, which Spain's proud Crown vaunts but in Name. Which Heavens grant! And that we never see The Sun set on Your Crown, or Dignity. Long live King CHARLES the Second. The two Youths, who speak to His Majesty, as above, are John, and Samuel Ford, sons of Sir Richard Ford, one of the Committees of the East-India Company. The next Entertainment is a Band of ●ix Waits placed on a Balcony, erected in the Middle of the North-West Angle of Leaden-Hall. The next Entertainment is at Corn-hill-Conduit, on the top of which stand eight Nymphs clad in White, each having an Escutcheon in one Hand, and a Pendent, or Banner in the other. On the Tower of the said Conduit, a Noise of seven Trumpets. NEAR the Exchange, in Cornhill, is erected the second Arch, which is Naval. On the East-side are two Stages erected; on each side of the street, one. In that on the Southside is a person representing the River Thames; his Garment Lose and Flowing, Colour Blue and White, waved like Water, a Mantle over, like a Sail; his Head Crowned with London-Bridg, Flags, and Ozier, like long Hair, falling o'er his Shoulders, his Beard long, Sea-green, and White, curled; an Oar in his right Hand, the Model of a Ship in his left, an Urn beside him, out of which issues Water; four Attendants in White, representing the four fresh Streams, which fall into the River Thames, viz. Charwell, Lea, Colne, and Medway. In the other Stage on the North-side, which is made like the upper Deck of a Ship, are three Seamen, whereof one habited like a Boatswain. A Shield, or Table, in the front of the Arch, bears this Inscription, NEPTUNO BRITANNICO, CAROLO TWO, CUJUS ARBITRIO MARE VEL LIBERUM, VEL CLAUSUM. The first Painting, on the North-side over the City-Arms, represents NEPTUNE, with his Trident advanced; the Inscription, NEPTUNO REDUCI. On the Southside, opposite, MARS, with his Spear inverted, his Shield charged with a Gorgon; by his Knees the Motto, MARTI PACIFERO. Over the Arch, the Marriage of Thame, and Isis. The Painting on the North-side, over Neptune, represents the EXCHANGE; the Motto, GENERIS LAPSI SARCIRE RUINAS. An Expression of Virgil's, Georg. 4. speaking of the Industry of Bees, never discouraged by their Losses; his Description of it running thus, Quo magis exhaustae fuerint, hoc acrius omnes Incumbent generis lapsi sarcire Ruinas, Complebuntque Foros, & Floribus Horrea texent. How much by Fortune they exhausted are, So much they strive the Ruins to repair Of their fallen Nation, and they fill th' Exchange, Adorning with the choicest Flowers their Grange. The Painting on the Southside, over Mars, shows the Tower of London; the Inscription, CLAUDUNTUR BELLI PORTAE. The Pedestals, in the Upper Story are Adorned with eight living Figures, representing EUROPE, ASIA, afric, and AMERICA, with Escutcheons, and Pendents, bearing the Arms of the Companies, Trading into those Parts. The uppermost great Table in the fore-ground represents King Charles the First, with the Prince, now Charles the second, in His Hand, viewing the Sovereign of the Sea, the Prince leaning on a Cannon; the Inscription, O NIMIUM DILECTE DEO, CUI MILITAT AEQUOR, ET CONJURATI VENIUNT AD CLASSICA VENTI. For thee, O Jove's Delight, the Seas engage, And Mustered Winds, drawn up in Battle, Rage.

Navigation, a Woman in Sea-green Habit, in her Escutcheon an Archer, with a Cable about it; the Inscription, TUTUM TE LITTORE SISTAM. While the Nobility pass the Triumphal Arch, the three Seamen Entertain them with this Song from the Stage on the North-side of the Archippus From Neptune's VVat'ry Kingdonies, where Storms, & Tempests rise so often, As would the World in Pinces' tear, Should Providence their Rage not soften; In that fluctuating Sphere, Where stout Ships, and smaller Barks Are tossed like Balls, or feathered Corks, When Briny Waves to Mountains swell, Which dimming oft heavens glittering Sparks, Then deseending low as Hell; Through this Crowd, In a Cloud, By a strange and unknown Spell, We newly Landing, Got this Standing, All Merry Boys, and Loyal, Our Pockets full of Pay This Triumphal Day, To make of our skill a Trial, Of our little little skill. Let none then take it ill, We must have no Denial. II. We, who have raised, and laid the Poles, Ploughed Frozen Seas, and fealding Billows, Now stiff with Cold, than scorched on Coals, Ships our Cradles, Decks our Pillows; 'Mongst threatening Rocks, and treacherous Shoals, Through Gibraltar's contracted Mouth, And Realms condemned to Heat and Drowth, Or Baltic Waves bound up in Ice, Or Magellan as Cold, though South, Our good Fortune, in a trice, Through this Crowd, In a Cloud, Brings us where in Paradise We newly Landing Got this Standing, All Merry Boys, and Loyal, Our Pockets full of Pay This Triumphal Day, To make of our skill a Trial, Of our little little skill: Let none then take it ill, We must have no Denial. III. We, who so often banged the Turk, Our Broadsides speaking Thunder, Made Belgium strike, and proud Dunkirk, Who lived by Prize, and Plunder, And routed the Sebastian Shirk; We paid their Poops, and painted Beaks, Cleansed before and eft their Decks, Till their Scuppers ran with Gore, Whilst in as fast salt-Water breaks; But we are Friends of this no more: Through this Crowd In a Cloud, We have found an happy Shore, And newly landing Got this standing; All Merry Boys, and Loyal, Our Pockets full of Pay This Triumphal Day, To make of our Skill a Trial Of our little little Skill, Let none then take it ill, We must have no denial. Besides the three beforenamed, who sing the precedent Song, there are in like manner habited, like Seamen, six other Persons, who make a Wind-Musick. The Music in the Stage consists of three Drums, and six Trumpets. On the East-side, Winde-Musick, consisting of six Persons. On two Balconies, within the Arch, Winde-Musick, consisting of twelve Persons. On the West-Gallery are placed six Trumpets. These, and all the other Music, belonging to this Triumph, perform their Duty without Intermission, till such time as His Majesty fronts the Figure, which represents Thames, and then cease; upon which, Thames maketh the ensuing Speech. TEn Moons, Great Sir, their silver Crescents filled, Since, mounted on a Billow, I beheld You on the Bridge; but Louder Joys there were, That barred my Welcomes from Your Sacred Ear: Now I above my highest bound have reared My Head, to say what could not, then, be heard. Hail, Mighty Monarch! whose Imperial Hand Quiets the Ocean, and secures the Land; This City, whom I serve with Neighbouring Floods, Exporting Yours, importing Foreign Goods, With anxious Grief, did long Your Absence mourn; Now with full Joy she Welcomes Your Return; Your blessed Return! by which she is Restored To all the Wealth Remotest Lands afford. At your Approach, I hastened to the Downs, To see your Moving Forts, Your Floating Towns, Your Sovereigns, Big with Thunder, Blow the Main, And swimming Armies in their Womb contain. You are our Neptune, every Port and Bay Your Chambers, the whole Sea is Your Highway. Though several Nations Boast their Strength on Land, Yet You Alone the wat'ry World command. Pardon, great Sir, fair Cynthia checks my stay; But to Your Royal Palace, twice a day, I will Repair; there my proud Waves shall wait, To bear our Caesar, and His conquering Fate. The River Thames having ended his Speech, the three Seamen, who entertained the Nobility with the former Song, address the following to His Majesty. I. King CHARLES, King CHARLES, great Neptune of the Main! Thy Royal Navy rig, And we'll not care a fig For France, for France, the Netherlands, nor Spain; The Turk, who looks so big, We'll whip him like a Gig About the Mediterrane His Galleys all sunk, or ta'en. we'll seize on their Goods, and their moneys, Those Algiers Sharks That Plunder Ships, & Barks, Algiers, Sally, and Tunis, We'll give them such Toasts To the Barbary-Coasts, Shall drive them to Harbour, like Coneys. Tan tara run tan tan Tan tara run tan tara, Not all the world we fear-a; The great Fishpond Shall be thine-a Both here, and beyond, From Strand to Strand, And underneath the Line-a. II. A Sail, a Sail, I to the Offin see, She seems alusty Ship; Hoist all your Sails a-trip: We'll weather, weather her, what e'er she be: Your Helm then steady keep, And Thunder up the Deep, A Man of War, no Merchants She; We'll set her on her Crupper; Give Fire, Bounce, Bounce, Pickeering Villains trounce Till Blood run in Streams at the Scupper; Such a Breakfast them we shall Give with Powder, and Ball, They shall need neither Dinner, nor Supper Tan tara run tan tan Tan tara run tan tara, Pickeering Rogues ne'er spare-a; With Bullets pink Their Quarters; Until they stink, They sink, they sink, Farewell the Devil's Martyrs. III. They yield, they yield; shall we the poor Rogues spare? Their illgotten Goods, Preserved from the Floods, That King CHARLES, and we may share? With Wine then cheer our Bloods, And, putting off our Hoods, Drink to His MAJESTY bare, The King of all Compassion: On our Knees next fall TO our Royal Admiral, A Health for his Preservation, Dear JAMES the Duke of YORK, Till our Heels grow light as Cork, The second Glory of our Nation. Tan tara run tan tan Tan tara run tan tara To the Royal Paira, Let every man Full of Wine-a Take off his Can, Though wan, though wan, To make his red Nose shine-a. The Seamen having ended their Song, the several sorts of Music perform their Duty, whilst His MAJESTY passeth on towards Cheapside. At the Stocks, the Entertainment is a Body of Military Music, placed on a Balcony consisting of six Trumpets, and three Drums, the Fountain there being after the Tuscan Order, venting Wine, and Water. In like manner, on the Top of the great Conduit, at the Entrance of Cheapside, there is another Fountain, out of which issue both Wine, and Water, as in a representation of Temperance; and on the several Towers of that Conduit are eight Figures, habited like Nymphs, with Escutcheons in one Hand, and Pendents, or Banners in the other: And between each of them, Wind-Musick; the number, eight. On the Standard also in Cheapside there is a Band of Waits placed, consisting of six Persons. THE third Triumphal Arch stands near Wood-street end, not far from the Place, where the Cross sometimes stood. It represents an Artificial Building of two Stories, one after the Corinthian way of Architecture, the other after the Composite, representing the Temple of Concord; with this Inscription on a Shield, AEDEM CONCORDIAE IN HONOREM OPTIMI PRINCIPIS, CUJUS ADVENTU BRITANNIA TERRA MARIQ.

On the top of the Cupula CONCORD, a Woman in her right-Hand holding her Mantle; in her lefthand a Caduceus; under her Feet, a Serpent struggling, which she seems to tread down. On the Westside, the third great Figure, a Woman, standing at the Prow of a Ship; in her left Hand, a Cornucopia; the Word, FOR TUNAE REDUCI.

Within the TEMPLE are twelve living Figures, three placed above the Rest. The First the Goddess of the TEMPLE in rich Habit, with a Caduceus in her Hand, and a Serpent at her Feet.

The Fourth, like a Spread-Eagle with two Heads, one of an Eagle, the other of an Ostrich; in the Mouth of the Ostrich a Horse-shoe, in the Foot of the Eagle a Thunderbolt; the Word, PRAESIDIA MAJESTATIS. The Fifth, a Bundle of Javelins; the Word, UNITAS. The Sixth, two Hands joined athwart the Escutcheon, as from the Clouds, holding a Caduceus with a Crown; the Word, FID● ET CONSILIO.

The Bases, and Capitals within this Triumph, are Brass, and the Pillars Steel. The Triumph thus adorned, and the several Music playing, all pass through, till such time as His Majesty comes to the middle of the Temple, at which time the three principal living Figures, viz. CONCORD, LOVE, and TRUTH, who till then had not been seen; are by the drawing of a Curtain discovered, and entertain His Majesty with the following Song. I. Comes not here the King of Peace, Who the Stars so long foretold, From all Woes should us release Converting Iron-times to Gold? II. Behold, Behold! Our Prince confirmed by Heavenly signs Brings heating Balm, Brings healing Balm, and anodynes, To close our Wounds, and Pain assuage. He comes with conquering Bays, and Palm Where sweling Billows used to rage, Gsiding on a suver Calm; Proud Interests now no more ●ngage. Chorus. Let these arched Roofs resound, Joining Instruments, and Voice, Fright pale Spirits under Ground; But let Heaven and Earth rejoice, We our Happiness have found. He, thus marching to be Crowned, Attended with this glorious Train, From civil Broils Shall free these Isles, Whilst He, and His Posterity shall reign. I. Who follow Trade, or study Arts, Improving Pasture, or the Blow, Or furrow Waves to foreign Parts, Use your whole Endeavours now. II. His Brow, his Brow Bids you Hearts, as well as Hands, Together join, Together joining bless these Lands; Peace, and Concord, never poor, Will make with Wealth this City shine, Ships fraught with Spice, and Golden Ore, Your Fields with Hovey, Milk, and Wine, To supply our Neighbour's Store. The First Song ended, Concord addresses herself to His Majesty, in these Words, Welcome, great Sir, to CONCORD's Fan ', Which Your Return built up again; You have her Fabric reared so high, That the proud Turrets kiss the Sky. Tumult by You, and Civil War In Janus Gates imprisoned are, By You the King of Truth, and Peace; O, may Divisions ever cease! Your sacred Brow the blushing Rose, And Virgin Lilly twined enclose! The Caledonian Thistle-Down Combine with these t'adorn Your Crown. No Discord in th' Hibernian Harp! Nought in our Duty flat, or sharp; But all conspire, that You, as best, May 'bove all other Kings be Blest. The Speech ended, His Majesty, at his going off, is entertained with the following Song: With all our Wishes, Sir, go on, Our Charles three Nations Glory; That Worlds of Eyes may look upon, Behind, Sir, and before Ye; Go, great Exemplar of our British Story; Paternal Crowns assume, That then Your Royal Name May, registered by Fame, Swell like a sweet Perfume, Not writ in Marble, Brass, nor Gold, Nor sparkling Gems, Such as shine in Diadems, Where all Nations may behold With brighter Characters enroled, On th' Azure Vellum of configured Stars, Who fixed with gentle Smiles Two fluctuating Isles, And built well-grounded Peace on Civil Wars. On the little Conduit, at the lower End of Cheapside are placed four Figures, or Nymphs, each of them having an Escutcheon in the one Hand, and a Pendent in the other. In a Balcony, erected at the Entrance of Pater-noster-Row, are placed His majesty's Drums and Fife; the number of Persons, eight. Between that and Ludgate there are two other Balconies erected: In one, is placed a Band of six Waits; In the other, six Drums. On the Top of Ludgate six Trumpets. At Fleet-Bridge a Band of six Waits. On Fleet-Conduit are six Figures, or Nymphs, clad in White, each with an Escutcheon in one Hand, and a Pendent in the other; as also a Band of six Waits. And on the Lantern of the Conduit is the Figure of Temperance, mixing Water and Wine. IN Fleetstreet, near White Friars, stands the fourth Irsumphal Arch representing the Garden of PLENTY; it is of two Stories, one of the Doric Order, the other of the jonick. The Capitals have not their just Measure, but incline to the Modern Architecture. Upon the great Shield over the Arch, in large Capitals, this Inscription, UBERITATI AUG. EXTINCTO BELLI CIVILIS INCENDIO CLUSOQ. JANI TEMPLO ARAM CELSISS. CONSTRUXIT S. P. Q. L. Over the Postern, on the Southside of the Entrance is BACCHUS, in a Chariot, drawn by Leopards, his Mantle a Panther's Skin; his Crown, of Grapes, a Thyrsus with Ivy in his left Hand; a Cup in his right: underneath, LIBER PATER. The Painting over this represents SILENUS on his Ass, Satyrs dancing round about, in Drunken and Antic Postures; the Prospect, a Vine-yard. On the North-side opposite, Ceres, drawn in a Chariot by winged Dragons, and crowned with Ears of Corn, in her left Hand, Poppy; in her right, a blazing Torch. The Painting over her is a Description of Harvest; with CERES AUG. On the Westside of the Arch, over the South-Postern, the Goddess FLORA, in a various Coloured Habit; in one Hand, Red and White Roses; in the other, Lilies; on her Head, a Garland of several other Flowers. The Painting over this, a Garden, with Walks, Statues, Fountains, Flowers, and Figures of Men and Women walking. Opposite to this, on the North-side, the Goddess POMONA, crowned with a Garland of several Fruits; in her right Hand, the Sun; in her left Hand, a Wand; At her Feet, all Sorts of Graffing, and Gardening Tools. The Painting above, an Orchard. On the Corners, four living Figures; above, the four Seasons of the Year. In the Niches stand four Figures, representing the four Winds. EURUS, a Black-Moor with Black wings! his Emblem, the Sun rising, and a fair plain Country; his Motto, AD AURORAM NABATHAEAQ. REGNA. BOREAS, instead of Feet, two Serpents Tails, his Wings covered with Snow; his Emblem, a rocky Mountainous Country, and the Pleyades rising over it; his Motto, SCYTHIAM SEPTEMQ. TRIONES HORRIFER INVADIT— AUSTER, in a dark-coloured Habit, with Wings like Clouds; his Emblem a Cloudy Sky and Showers; his Motto, NUBIBUS ASSIDUIS PLUVIAQ. MADESCIT. ZEPHYRUS, like an Adonis with Wings; the Emblem, a Flowery Plain; the Word, — TEPENTIBUS AURIS DEMULCET— The great Figure on the top of all represents PLENTY, crowned, a Branch of Palm in her right Hand, a Cornucopia in her left. The Music aloft on both sides, and on the two Balconies within, are twelve Waits, six Trumpets, and three Drums. At a convenient distance before this structure, are two Stages erected, divided, planted, and adorned like Gardens, each of them eight Yards in length, five in breadth. Upon that on the North-side sits a Woman representing PLENTY, crowned with a Garland of divers Flowers, clad in a Green Vestment embroidered with Gold, holding a Cornucopia: Her Attendants, two Virgins. At His majesty's approach to the Arch, this Person representing PLENTY riseth up, and maketh address to Him in these Words; Great Sir, the Star, which, at Your Happy Birth, Joyed with his Beams, at Noon, the wondering Earth Did with auspictous lustre, then presage The glittering Plenty of this golden Age; The Clouds blownore, which long our joys or'ecast, And the sad Winter of Your absence past; See! the three smiling Seasons of the Year Agree at once to bid You Welcome here; Her Homage Duteous Flora comes to pay; With Her Enamelled Treasure strews Your Way: Ceres, and Pales, with a bounteous Hand, Diffuse their Plenty over all Your Land; And Bacchus is so Lavish of his Store, That Wine flows now where Water ran before, Thus Seasons, Men, and Gods their Joy express; To see Your Triumph, and our Happiness. His Majesty, having passed the four Triumphal Arches is, at Temple Bar, entertained with the View of a delightful Boscage, full of several Beasts, both Tame, and Savage, as also several living Figures, and Music of eight Waits. But this being the Limit of the city's Liberty, must be so likewise of our Description. THE Parts of which this Entertainment consists, were carried on by several Persons, who performed all to Admiration, and, considering the Shortness of the Warning, much beyond what could have been imagined. The Architectural Part by Mr. Peter Mills, Surveyor of the City, and another Person, who desires to have his Name concealed. The Carpentry, by Mr. John Scot, Mr. William Pope, Mr. Thomas Wratton, and Mr. Roger Jerman. The Painting, by Mr. William Lightfoot, and Mr. Andrew Dacres. The joiner's Work, by Mr. Thomas Whiteing.

By reason of some fictitious Printed Papers of the Manner of His majesty's intended Proceeding through London, on Monday the two and twentieth of this instant April, lately spread abroad; it is thought fit, for better Satisfaction, to Publish this Copy of that, which is by Authority appointed.

These Worthy Members of this Honourable City, in Order to this Solemnity, have raised Considerable Sums of Money, which by the several Companies were freely Contributed, in expression of their Loyalty. They have Ordered, that Signs be taken down, the Streets Railed on both sides, the Houses, and Windows adorned with rich Carpers, and Tapestry. The Aldermen have thought fit to place themselves in Cheapside, on the Front, or East side of the Triumphal Arch. At his Majesty's coming thither, the Recorder of London, Sir William wild, salutes him with a Congratulatory Oration, which done, He makes. Him an humble Present from the CITY, in Testimony of their dutyful Affection. Along the Streets on the North-side, stand the Companies with their several Trophies, and other Ornaments: disposed nearer or farther from the Triumphal Arches, according to their particular Dignities; opposite to whom (on the Southside) are placed the Trained Bands. In St. Paul's Churchyard upon a Scaffold, erected for that purpose, stand the Children of Christ's Hospital in blue Coats, to which belong bleven hundred, a numerous Testimony of the Charity of this Honourable City; as soon as His Majesty is come within View, they begin to sing a Hymn, and at His approach, one of them maketh a Speech in Prose; which ended, and His Majesty passing on, they sing another Hymn.
