'Tis well: The Citizens I am sure have shown at full their Royal minds, As let 'em have their rights, they are ever forward In Celebration of this day with Shows, Pageants, and Sights of Honor. Never greater, Not i'll assure you better taken Sir. May I be bold to ask what that contains, That Paper in your hand. Yes, 'tis the List Of those that claim their Offices this day, By custom of the Coronation. The Duke of Suffolk is the first, and claims To be high Steward; Next the Duke of Norfolk, He to be Earl Marshal: you may read the rest. I thank you Sir: Had I not known those customs, I should have been beholding to your Paper: But I beseech you, what's become of Katherine The Princess Dowager? How goes her business? That I can tell you too. The Archbishop Of Canterbury, accompanied with other Learned, and Reverend Fathers of his Order, Held a late Court at Dunstable; six miles off From Ampthill, where the Princess lay, to which She was often cited by them, but appeared not: And to be short, for not Appearance, and The King's late Scruple, by the main assent Of all these Learned men, she was divorced, And the late Marriage made of none effect: Since which, she was removed to Kymmalton, Where she remains now sick. Alas good Lady. The Trumpets sound: Stand close, The Queen is coming. A lively Flourish of Trumpets. Then, two judges. Lord Chancellor, with Purse and Mace before him. Quirristers singing. Mayor of London, bearing the Mace. Then Garter, in his Coat of Arms, and on his head he wore a Gilt Copper Crown. marquis Dorset, bearing a Sceptre of Gold, on his head, a Demy coronal of Gold. With him, the Earl of Surrey, bearing the Rod of Silver with the Dove, Crowned with an Earl's Coronet. Collars of Esses. Duke of Suffolk, in his Robe of Estate, his Coronet on his head, bearing a long white Wand, as High Steward. With him, the Duke of Norfolk, with the Rod of Marshalship, a Coronet on his head. Collars of Esses. A Canopy, borne by four of the Cinque-Ports, under it the Queen in her Robe, in her hair, richly adorned with Pearl, Crowned. On each side her, the Bishops of London, and Winchester. The Old Duchess of Norfolk, in a coronal of Gold, wrought with Flowers bearing the Queen's Train. Certain Ladies or Countesses, with plain Circlets of Gold, without Flowers. A Royal Train believe me: These I know: Who's that that bears the Sceptre? marquis Dorset, And that the Earl of Surrey, with the Rod. A bold brave Gentleman. That should be The Duke of Suffolk. 'Tis the same: high Steward. And that my Lord of Norfolk? Yes. Heaven bless thee, Thou hast the sweetest face I ever looked on. Sir, as I have a Soul, she is an Angel; Our King has all the Indies in his Arms, And more, and richer, when he strains that Lady, I cannot blame his Conscience.
