On the far left of the woodcut stands a religious figure, presumably a bishop, standing at an ornate lectern, reading from a large book, presumably the Bible. In front of him sits a king enthroned who wears a crown and holds a scepter in his left hand. His cape or cloak drapes behind the throne. The throne is placed on a pedestal and sits under an awning with curtains draping. To the right of the king stands a file of people wearing long robes; they appear to be waiting to talk to the king. On the wall behind the scene is a window, through which can be seen a large bonfire.: 43 x 43 Woodblock 2: below title, above two columns and cast fleuron, between cast fleurons, arranged as composite with first woodcut: In the middle of the scene is an ornate carved column or pillar. To the right of the pillar sits a king on a throne who wears a robe with a thick fur collar and wears a crown. His seat is elaborately carved. Kneeling in front of the king to the right and left kneel women wearing dresses and raising their hands to him in supplication. On the floor directly in front of the king lies a naked baby. The king possibly is Solomon. Standing behind him looking on are crowds of men wearing capes and robes. On the wall behind the throne drapes a heavy curtain with tassels. To the left of the pillar is draped and gathered another curtain. A man kneels in front, wears a cape or cloak, and in front of his chest drapes a necklace, chain, or other ornament. To the right of the man is a donkey, horse, mule that wears a cloth or saddle-type ornament and bit. Behind him stands a man who has his right arm wrapped around the neck of the animal and in his left hand holds a trumpet through which he blows. A crowd of onlookers all wearing robes stand behind the horse and kneeling man. Behind them in the lefthand corner of the room stands a group of people wearing robes all facing into the room. Three of the men standing furthest right in the crowd are playing trumpets or horns. Standing frontmost in the crowd appears to be a bishop and another member of the clergy.: 43 x 88 Woodblock 3: below title and cast fleuron, between cast fleurons, above two columns, arranged as composite with fourth woodcut: On the lefthand side of the woodcut is a villa or other stately house. It appears to be Neo-Classical in style. The house is at least three stories and has a plain, flat front with many rows of windows. The front door is arched and on either side are two small windows. In the front of the house, over the front door and windows is a large porch or portico that extends out far. The awning or overhang is supported by several pillars or columns. Under the portico or porch walk two small figures. Behind the house are visible treetops. In front of the portico or porch appears to be a stream. On the banks of the stream appears to be an animal, possibly a dog. In the left foreground stands a figure wearing a hat and a robe or cloak. On the right half of the woodcut sits a king on his throne under an awning or curtain. The king wears a wide fur collar, a crown, and holds a staff or cane in his right hand. Several small stairs lead up to his throne and at the bottom of the stairs kneels a woman wearing a gown looking up at the king. Behind her in an archway kneels another woman. In front of the stairs sit several dogs facing forward looking all to their right. Out the archway behind the kneeling women stand a line of other people. Behind the stairs is a carved panel, and behind the carved panel stand a group of religious figures who wear caps and hats and have beards. In the arch behind the throne is visible an outdoor scene. : 44 x 90 Woodblock 4: below title and cast fleuron, between cast fleurons, above two columns, arranged as composite with third woodcut: This is an indoor scene of one woman and two men working with urns, jugs, and barrels. On the top of the back wall is framed a caption: '4ELIA4.' The wall appears to be made of brick, and has two windows and a wooden door. Through the keyhole window are visible rooftops. Several ceramic urns with curved handles are grouped in clusters on the ground. On the right side of the room are four wooden barrels lying on their sides. A woman stands in profile facing to her right and pouring wine out of an urn into a large bowl with handles. A man kneels in the foreground, his left hand holding onto the bowl and his right hand extended behind his back, holding an urn. On the left of the scene walks a man towards the center of the room carrying two urns under his arms.: 42 x 44 Pepys Library The Pepys ballads : facsimile volume Editor W.G. Day D.S.

LOndon, live thou famous long, thou bearst a gallant minde: Plenty, peace, and pleasures store, in thee we dayly finde. The Merchants of Virginia now, hath nobly tooke in hand, The bravest golden Lottery, that ere was in this Land. A gallant House well furnisht foorth, with Gold and Silver Plate, There standes prepard with Prizes now, set foorth in greatest state. To London , worthy Gentlemen, goe venture there your ch[a]unce: Good lucke standes now in readinesse, your fortunes to advance. It is to plant a Kingdome sure, where savadge people dwell: God will favour Christians still, and like the purpose well. Take courage then with willingnesse, let hands and hearts agree: A braver enterprize then this, I thinke can never bee. Our most royall King and Queene, in princely forwardnesse, Hath granted grace and favours both, as thousands can expresse. Sweete natures Jem, Prince Henry he, in love is not behinde: The Nobles of the Land likewise, we all doe forward finde. Well may this famous Lottery, have good successe and speede, When as the States of England thus, doe such good liking breed. Come Gallants, come; come noble mindes come venture now for Gold, For smiling hope, heere bids you all, take currage, and be bold. Come Knights, and gallant Gentlemen, put in your ventures all: Let nothing daunt your willing mindes, good fortune may befall:
Mee thinkes I see great numbers flocke, and bring in fast their Coyne: And Tradesmen how in loving sort, their Monyes all doe joyne: Heere Pryzes are of great account, not simple, plaine, and poore; But unto Thousands doe surmount, whereof there be some store: And happely some men there be, in gayning of the same, May spend their dayes like Gentlemen, in credite and good name. As lately heere in London was, some unto Riches brought; Where many mended their estates, when they full litle thought: Yet heere are greater Pryzes farre, as easly to be gaind, And valued to more thousand poundes, then hath the first containd. You London Merchants sending foorth your fortunes to the Sea, Heere may you purchase Golden worth, and Countries love this way. It pleaseth God, contentes the King, in venturing thus your store: To plant that Land in government, which never was before. Full many a man that lives full bare, and knowes no joyes of Gold, For one small Crowne may get a share, of twice two Thousand told: Then what is hee that feares to try his fortune in this kind, When lucke & chaunce may make a man, and thus great Riches find. You Maydes that have but portions small to gaine your Mariage friend, Cast in your Lottes with willing hand, God may good fortune send. You Widowes, and you wedded Wives, one litle substaunce try: You may advance both you and yours, with wealth that comes thereby.

Y Ou Farmers and you Country men, whom God hath blest with store, To this good worke set helping hand, and God will send you more: What comes in love, will prosper well, and be redoubled backe: And they that thus for Countrie doth, can never live in lacke. The King, the Queene, & noble Prince, gives courage to perswade: The Peeres and Barrons of the Land, hath not their loves denayde: Court and Citie doth the like, where willingly each man, To builde up fast Virginias state, performes the best he can. The Merchants of the Easterne partes, heere shewes both love and care; And ventures Gold with joyfull heartes, and thereof makes no spare. Our gallant London Companies, and Halles of high renowne, Into Virginias Lottery, sendes freely many a Crowne. For good intent all this is done, and no man wrongd therein: Then happy fortune be his dole, the greatest Prize can win: And happy fortune be their guides, that nobly thus maintaines The planting of this New-found Land, with cares, with cost, and paines. Let no man thinke that he shall loose, though he no Prize poseesse: His substaunce to Virginia goes, which God, no doubt will blesse: And in short time send from that land, much rich commoditie; So shall we thinke all well bestowd, upon this Latterie. Heere profite doth with pleasure joyne, and bids each chearefull heart, To this high praysed enterprise, performe a Christian part:
Good Countrymen be forward then, and with your Tallents small, Adventure heere for good luckes sake, and graunt your loves withall. We ought not live heere, for our selves, but for our Countries good: And Countries good, it is well knowne, long hath this purpose stood: For first, when Queene Elizabeth heere livd, so much renownd, This Land now call'd Viginia , by English-men was found. Sir Gilbert, Drake , and others more, gave us thereof first sight; But followed now by noble mindes, with carefull course aright: Desiring nothing for their paines, but Countries love and favour: Then reason calles our liberall aydes, to this renowned labour. Who knowes not England once was like a Wildernesse and savage place, Till government and use of men, that wildnesse did deface: And so Virginia may in time, be made like England now; Where long-lovd peace and plenty both, sits smiling on her brow. Our King, the Lord full long preserve, the cause of all this pleasure: The Queene, the Prince, and all his seed, with dayes of longest measure: And that Virginia well may proove a Land of rich increase: And Englands government thereof, good God let never cease.
