That after the Queen's Highness had passed through the City; and had seen so sumptuous, rich, and noble spectacles of the citizens, which declared their most hearty receiving and most joyous welcoming of Her Grace into the same: this one Spectacle yet rested and remained; which was the everlasting Spectacle of Mercy unto the poor members of Almighty GOD, furthered by that famous and most noble Prince, King HENRY VIII., Her Grace's Father; erected by the City of London; and advanced by the most godly, virtuous, and gracious Prince, King EDWARD VI., Her Grace's dear and loving brother. Doubting nothing of the mercy of the Queen's most gracious clemency: by the which they may not only be relieved and helped, but also stayed and defended; and therefore incessantly, they would pray and cry unto Almighty GOD for the long life and reign of Her Highness, with most prosperous victory against her enemies. The child, after he had ended his Oration, kissed the paper wherein the same was written, and reached it to the Queen's Majesty; who received it graciously both with words and countenance, declaring her gracious mind towards their relief. * * * * * From thence, Her Grace came to Temple Bar, which was dressed finely, with the two images of GOTMAGOT the Albion, and CORINEUS the Briton; two giants big in stature, furnished accordingly: which held in their hands, even above the gate, a table, wherein was written, in Latin verses, the effect of all the pageants which the City before had erected. Which Verses are these: _Ecce sub aspectu jam contemplaberis uno_ _O Princeps populi sola columna tui!_ _Quicquid in immensa passim perspexeris urbe_ _Quæ cepere omnes unus hic arcus habet._ _Primus, te solio regni donavit aviti,_ _Hæres quippe tui vera parentis eras._ _Suppressis vitiis, domina virtute, Secundus,_ _Firmavit sedem regia virgo tuam._ _Tertius, ex omni posuit teparte beatam_ _Si, qua coepisti pergere velle, velis._ _Quarto, quid verum, Respublica Lapsa quid esset,_ _Quæ Florens staret te docuere tui._ _Quinto, magna loco monuit te DEBORA, missam_ _Cælitus in regni gaudia longa tui._ _Perge ergo Regina! tuæ spes unica gentis!_ _Hæc Postrema urbis suscipe Vota tuæ._ _"Vive diu! regnaque diu! virtutibus orna_ _Rem patriam, et populi spem tueare tui!_ _Sic, O sic petitur coelum! Sic itur in astra!_ _Hoc virtutis opus, cætera mortis erunt!"_ Which Verses were also written in English metre, in a lesse[r] table, as hereafter followeth. Behold here, in one view, thou mayst see all that plain; O Princess, to this thy people, the only stay! What eachwhere thou hast seen in this wide town; again, This one Arch, whatsoever the rest contained, doth say.
