BAPTISME OF THE PRINCE OF SCOTLAND.
193
[WALDEGRAVE
Her Marriners were in number six, apparelled al in change¬
able Spanish Taffataes, and her Pilote in cloth of gold, he alone
stood at the helme, who only mooned and gouerned the whole
frame, both the Ship and her burden, very artificially.
The Musitions within the same, were 14. all apparelled in
Taffataes of his Maiesties colors, besides Arion with his Harp.
Being thus prepared, at the sound of Trumpets, she ap¬
proached, and at the next sound of Tritons wilk Trumpet,
together with the Masters whistle, she made sayle till shee
came to the Table, discharging the ordinance in her Steme 10
by the way: But because this deuise caried some morall
meaning with it, it shal not be impertinent to this purpose,
to discover what is meant and propyned thereby. /
[P. 24.] The Kings Maiestie, hauing vndertaken in such a desperate
time, to sayle to Norway, and like a newe lason, to bring his
Queene our gracious Lady to this Kingdome, being detained
and stopped by the conspiracies of Witches, and such deuillish
Dragons, thought it very meet, to followe foorth this his
owne invention, that as Neptunus (speaking poetically, and
by such fictions, as the like Interludes and actions are accus- 20
tomed to be decored withall) ioyned the King to the Queene.
So after this Coniunction, hee brought their Maiesties as
happely hither : and now at this her blessed deliuery, did
bring such things as the Sea affoords, to decore this festiual
time withal: which immediatly were deliuered to the Sewers,
forth of the Galleries of this Ship, out of Christalline glasse,
very curiously painted with Gold and Azure, all sortes of
Fishes: as Hearinges, Whytings, Flookes, Oysters, Buckies,
Lampets, Partans, Lapstars, Crabs, Spout-fish, Clammes:
with other infinit things made of Suger, and most viuely repre- 30
sented in their owne shape. And whiles the Ship was vnload-
ing : Arion sitting vpon the Galey-nose which resembled the
forme of a Dolphine fish, played vpon his Harp : Then began
her Musike in greene holyne Howboyes in fiue partes. After
that, followed Uiolls with voices in plaine counterpointe, to
the nature of these Hexameter Verses. 36
