This Edition is limited to 75 Large Paper copies, and 275 Small Paper copies, issued only to Subscribers.
The two extremely rare tracts here given have been reprinted by Prof. Arber in his “English Garner,” if we can call reprinting the issuing of a pamphlet not only with the spelling entirely modernised, but also with words and phrases inserted or inverted to suit the Editor’s taste. In the “Tryumphe at Caleys” Mr Arber has issued the Second Edition, giving us no particulars whatever as to the First. In the list of the noblemen of France, Mr Arber modernises the names and yet gives us a Cardinal Gramond, being evidently unaware of the existence of the noble family of [Pg vi]de Grammont, and he equally fails to recognise in the Comte de Tonnore, the celebrated Armand, Comte de Tonnerre. Anne de Montmerancy remains for him an unknown actor on the brilliant stage, and yet, surely, the name of the Montmorency must have reached his ears.
I have here given an absolute reprint of the first edition and have noted at the foot of each page any variations in the readings which occur in the second. Both Editions were printed by Wynkyn de Worde, probably about November, 1532. The collation according to the copies in the British Museum (c. 21, b. 20) is as follows. It is a black letter, unpaged tract of four leaves. Page 1 contains the title, with a woodcut of Henry VIII. [Pg vii]on horseback, with two attendants.[1] Page 2 is blank in the First Edition but contains a list of the noblemen of France in the second. Then come five pages of text in the First Edition, followed by page 8 blank, whilst the Second Edition has six pages of text. The second tract, “The Cornacyon of Quene Anne,” was printed by Wynkyn de Worde in 1533. I trust the few notes I have added, either for the purpose of explaining obsolete words or to give a slight clue to the identity of the more important persons mentioned, may prove of use to the student.

I[4] will certyfye you of our newes in the partyes of Caleys. Fyrst the xj. day of[Pg 4, 5, 6] October whiche was Fryday in the mornyng at. v. of the clocke the kynges grace toke his Shyppe called the Swallowe and so came to Caleys by. x. of the clocke.

And the sayd greate mayster with dyuerse other straungers dyned that daye with ye Kynge.[Pg 8] And after dyner my lorde of Norffolke brought them forth on theyr way a myle or two and so departed for that tyme.

And so they taryed in Bulleyn mondaye tuysdaye Wednesday and thursday all daye.[11] And[Pg 11] for the greate chere that was there no man can expresse it. For the kynges grace was there enterteyned all at the frensshe kynges costes and charges. And euery daye noble men of Fraunce desyred our nobles and gentylmen home to theyr lodgynges where as they founde theyr houses rychely hanged greate cupbordes of plate sumptuous fare with syngyng and playenge of all kyndes of musyke. And also there was sent vnto our lodgynges great fare with all maner of wynes for our seruantes and our horsmeet payd for and al at theyr charges.

And after that the kynge toke of theyr visers and than they daunced with gentylmen of Fraunce an houre after. And than they departed to theyr lodgynges. And as for ye apparayle of ye frensshe lordes my tongue can not expresse it and in especyal the frensshe kyng his apparayle[Pg 15] passed[19] my penne to wryte for he had a dublet ouer set all with stones and ryche diamondes whiche was valued by discrete men at a hondred thousand pounde they passed ferre our lordes and knyghtes in apparayle and rychesse. They had greate chere in Caleys and louynge also and all at our kynges costes and charges. Also the same daye that the kynges came from Bulleyn the frensshe kynge made the duke of Norffolke and the duke of Suffolke of the ordre of saynt Mighill.[20] And vpon monday whiche was the. xxix. day of October at Caleys our kyng made the great mayster of Fraunce and the admyrall of Fraunce knyghtes of the garter.

And he purposeth (god wyllynge) to be at Caunterbury the. viij. daye of Nouember and so home whome god of his goodnes euer preserue and sende good passage and safe agayne into Englande. Amen.

Than folowed four ryche charyottes with ladyes of honour after than folowed xxx. ladyes and gentylwomen[Pg 27] r(ich)ly[31] garnysshed and so ye seruyng men after them. And a(s)[32] she was departed from ye towne a meruaylous great shot of gonnes was there fyred and shot. So this moste noble company passed till her grace came to fanchurch where was a pagent fayre and semly wh certayne chyldren which saluted her grace with great honour and prayse after a goodly fassyon: and so passed forthe to Grase churche where was a ryght costly pagent of Apollo with the nyne muses amonge ye mountaynes syttyng on ye mount of Pernasus and euery of them hauynge theyr instruments and apparayle acordyng to the descryption of poets and namely of Uirgyll with many goodly verses to her great prayse and honour. And so she passed forth through gracyous[33] strete unto leaden hall where was buylded a sumptuous[Pg 28] and a costly pagent in maner of a castell wherein was fasshyoned an heuenly roufe and under it vpon a grene was a roote or a stocke whereout spronge a multytude of whyte roses and reed curyously wrought so from the heuenly roufe descended a whyte faucon and lighted upon ye said stocke and roote and incontynent descended an angell wh goodly armony hauynge a close crowne bytwene his handes and set it on the faucons heed: and on the said flour sate saynt Anne in ye hyest place on that one syde her progeny wh scripture that is to wete the thre Marys wh theyr issue yt is to vnderstande: Mary the mother of Christ Mary Solome ye mother[34] of Zebedee with the two chyldren of them also Mary Cleophe with her husbande Alphee with their four chyldren on ye other syde with other poetycall verses sayd and songe wh a balade in englisshe to her great prayse (and)[35] honour and to al her progeny also. And[Pg 29] so she passed (for)th[36] from thence through cornehill and at ye condyt was a sumptuous pagent of the thre graces: and at the comynge of the quenes grace a poete declared the nature of all those thre ladyes and gave hye prayses vnto the quene. And after his preamble fynysshed every lady partyculer spake great honour and hye prayse of the quenes grace: And so she passed forth with all her nobles tyll she came in chepe and at the great condyt was made a costly fountayne whereout ranne whyte wyne claret and reed great plenty all that after noone: and ther was great melody wh speches. And so passed forthe through chepe to the standarde whiche was costly and sumptuously garnisshed with gold and asure with armes and stories wher was great armony and melody: and so passed she forth by the crosse in chepe whiche was newe garnisshed and so through chepe towarde the lesser condyt. And in the mydwaye bytwene the recorder of London[Pg 30] receyved her afore the Aldermen with great reuerence and honour salutynge her grace with a louyng and humble preposycion presentynge her grace with a ryche and costly purse of golde and in it a thousande marke in golde coyne gyuen vnto her as a free gyfte of honour: to whom she gaue great thankes bothe with herte and mynde.

And two aungels hauyng a close crowne of golde bytwene their handes. And the lady on ye ryght hande had a table of syluer wherein was writte. Domine dirige gressos meos. Lorde god dyrecte my wayes. The other on the lyfte hande had in another table of syluer written thus. Confide in domino. Trust in god. And vnder theyr fete was a longe rol wherin was written this. Regina Anna nouum regis de sanguine natum cum paries populis aurea secla tuis. Quene Anne whan yu shalte beare a newe sone of ye kynges bloode there shalbe a golden worlde vnto thy people. And so ye ladyes caste ouer her heede a multytude of wafers with rose leaues and about[Pg 32] ye wafers were written with letters of gold this posay.[37] And so her grace passed forth into Poules chyrchyarde and at the eest ende of ye chyrch agaynst ye schole was a great scaffolde whereon stode ye nombre of two hundred chyldren well befene who receyued wh poetes verses to her noble honour whan they had fynisshed she sayd Amen wh ioyful smylyng countenaunce and so passed forth thrugh the longe chyrchyarde and so to Ludgate whiche was costly and sumptuously garnysshed with golde colours and asure with swete armony of ballades to her greate prayse and honour wh dyuerse swete instrumentes. And thus her grace came thorowe the cyte with great honour and royaltye and passed thorowe Flete strete tyll she came to ye Standarde and condyth where was made a fayre toure with foure tourrettes with fanes there within great plenty of swete instrumentes wh chyldren syngyng the[Pg 33] standarde of mason warke costly made with ymages and aungels costly gylted with golde and asure with other colours and dyuerse fortes of armes costly set out shall there contynue and remayne and within the standarde a vyce with a chyme. Also there ranne out of certayne small pypes great plenty of wyne all that after-noone. And so her grace passed through the cyte to temple barre and so to Charyng crosse and so thorowe Westmynster into Westmynster hall where that was well and rychly hanged with cloth of Arras with a meruaylous ryche cupborde of plate and there was a voyde[38] of spyce plates and wyne. And yt done the quenes grace withdrewe her in to ye whyte hall for that nyght and so to Yorke place by water. The sondaye in ye mornynge at viij. of the clocke ye quenes grace wh noble ladyes in theyr robes of estate wh al ye nobles aparayled in parlyament robes as dukes erles archbysshops and bysshops wh barons[Pg 34] and the barons of ye fyue portes[39] with the mayre of ye cite the aldermen in theyr robes as mantels of scarlet. The barons of ye fyve portes bare a ryche canopy of cloth of golde with stanes of golde and four belles of syluer and gylt. The abbot of Westmynster in his rygals[40] came in to ye hall in pontificalibus wh his monkes in theyr best copes the Kynges chapell in theyr best copes with ye bysshops rychely aourned[41] in pontificalibus and the ray cloth blewe spredde from the hygh desses of ye kynges benche unto the hygh aulter of Westmynster. And so every man procedynge to the mynster in ye best order euery man after theyr degree apoynted to theyr order and office as aperteyneth came vnto ye place apoynted where her grace receyued her crowne wh al ye serymonyes therof as ther vnto belongeth. And so al[Pg 35] ye serimonyes done wh ye solempne masse they departed home in their best orders euery man to the hal of Westmynster where ye quenes grace withdrew her for a tyme in to her chambre apoynted and so after a certayne space her grace came in to ye hall. Than ye shulde haue sene euery noble man doyng their seruyce to them apoynted in ye best maner yt hath ben sene in any suche serimony. The quenes grace wasshed ye archbisshop of Canterbury sayd grace. Than ye nobles were set to the table therwh came ye quenes seruice wh ye seruyce of tharch bysshop a certayne space thre men with the quenes grace seruyce. Before ye said seruyce came ye duke of Suffolke high constable yt day and stewarde of ye feest on horsbacke and meruaylously trapped in aparell wh rychesse. Than wh hym came ye lorde Wyllyam Hawarde as depute to ye duke of Norfolke in ye rome of ye marshal of Englande on horsbacke. The erle of essex caruer. Therle of Sussex sewer. Therle of Darby[Pg 36] cupberer. Therle of Arundell butteller. The visconte lysle panter. The lorde Bray awmoner. These noble men dyd theyr seruyce in suche humble sorte and fassyon that it was wonder to se the payne and dylygence of them beynge suche noble personages. The seruyce borne by Knyghtes whiche were to me to longe to tell in order the goodly seruyce of kyndes of meate with their deuyses from the hyest vnto the lowest there haue not ben sene more goodlyer nor honorablyer done in no mannes dayes. There was foure tables in ye great hall alonge the sayde hall. The noble women one table syttyng al on ye one syde. The noble men an other table. The mayre of London an other table wh his bretherne. The barons of the portes with ye mayster of the chauncery the fourth table. And thus all thynges nobly and tryumphantly done at her coronacyon her grace retourned to Whyte hall with great ioy and solempnyte and the morowe was great iustes at ye tylte[Pg 37] done by xviij. lordes and knyghtes where was broken many speares valyauntly: but some of their horses wolde nat come at their pleasure nere unto the tylte whiche was displeasure to some that there dyd ronne.
