And lastlie a deuise of a tiger looking in a mirror, and a man sitting
on horssebacke all armed, holding in his armes a tigers whelpe with
this poesie; Per force sans resounie ay prise ceste best: and with his
owne hand making a countenance of throwing of mirrors at the great
tiger, which held this poesie; Gile che mirrour ma feste distour.
Thus with all honour was finished the solemne coronation, after which
the quéene soiourned in the palace of Westminster till Palmesundaie
following; and on the morow she tooke hir iournie towards Windsor;
where the king and she held their Easter.
[Sidenote: Iustice ministered by king Henrie in progresse.]
After the solemne feast of the coronation was ended, the king as well
to visit certeine places for deuotion by waie of pilgrimage, as also
to sée in what state and order diuerse parts of his realme stood,
departed from the quéene, appointing daie and place where she should
méet him, and so iournied foorth from place to place, thorough sundrie
countries, as well of Wales as England, and in euerie quarter where he
came, he heard with diligent eare the complaints of sutors, and tooke
order for the administration of iustice both to high and low, causing
manie misdemeanours to be reformed. At length he came to the towne
of Leicester, where he found the quéene according to the appointment
before taken. Here at Leicester, he held the feast of Easter.

¶ How then standeth this with the report of Fabian, who saith, that the
king and quéene kept their Easter at Windsor; and that when the said
festiuall time was expired, the king made prouision for his warres in
France, during the tearme of Richard Whitinghams meraltie of London,
which was in the eight yeare of this king Henries reigne: Suerlie
there must néeds be an errour, either in mistaking the yeare or the
place: vnlesse we will grant the king and quéene (with their court of
attendants) to haue béene Hîc ibi simul, which priuilege is granted to
none but Ubiquitaries.
