This being one of the greatest entertainments recorded in history, an account of it cannot be unacceptable to the reader: but as there were three poulterers concerned in providing the poultry, and only one of their accounts which we are able to communicate, it will be very deficient; however, as this great entertainment was given but about two hundred and thirty years ago, the subjoined account will shew the vast disparity between the prices of provisions then and now, and consequently the great disproportion between the scarcity of money at that time, and its plenty at present. Twenty-four large oxen, at 1l. 6s. 8d. each. The carcase of a large ox from the market, 1l. 4s. One hundred sheep, at 2s. 10d. each. Fifty-one calves, at 4s. 8d. each. Thirty-four hogs, at 3s. 8d. each. Ninety-one pigs, at 6d. each. Fourteen dozen of swans, no price set down. Capons of Greece, ten dozen, each at 1s. 8d. Kentish capons, nine dozen and a half, at 1s. each. Nineteen dozen of common capons, at 6d. each. Seven dozen and nine heathcocks, at 8d. each. Fourteen dozen and eight common cocks, at 3d. each. The best pullets (no number mentioned) at 2½d. each. Common ditto, 2d. each. Thirty-seven dozen of pigeons, at 10d. a dozen. Three hundred and forty dozen of larks, at 5d. a dozen. In the year 1532, a general muster of the citizens was held at Mile-End, when the names of all capable of bearing arms were taken down, from the age of sixteen to that of sixty; as were also an account of the weapons, armour, and other military accoutrements belonging to the city. Upon this occasion the principal citizens were dressed in white, with caps and feathers of the same colour; the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, Recorder, and Sheriffs, wore white armour, and coats of black velvet, embroidered with the city arms; they had velvet caps on their heads, and rode on fine horses adorned with magnificent trappings, with gold chains about their necks, and battle-axes in their hands. Each of the Aldermen and the Recorder, was attended with four halberdiers in white silk or buff coats, with gilt halberts; and the Lord Mayor, by sixteen men in white sattin jackets, with gold chains, caps and feathers, and long gilt halberts; he had also four footmen in white sattin, and two pages in crimson velvet, with gold brocade waistcoats; these pages were mounted on fine horses, adorned with rich furniture, one of them carrying the Lord Mayor’s helmet, and the other his pole-ax, both richly gilt, Most of the citizens of distinction were, on this occasion, dressed in white silk, and wore gold chains with a variety of rich jewels.
