Flesher] for F. Coules [c.1630]. Woodblock 2: below title, above first column on the left side of the page: A man wearing a fur-trimmed cape and a hat leans against an ornate column. In his right hand he appears to be holding a stick-like object, possibly a cane or a large key. He appears to be dressed wealthily. He appears to have an object in his left hand. Above his head dangles a cord and tassle, that appear to belong to some sort of curtain above or behind him.: 69 x 38 Woodblock 3: below title, centered above text and between woodcuts 2 and 4: Attached to a large house with two stories and a chimney is another one-story building with a window. The main house has one wooden door with hinges and keyhole. The door is centered between the two upper-story windows. Each window lies below a gable. The roof appears to be tiled or shingled. Atop the chimney is a cone-shaped structure that appears to be cut away. From the cone protudes a small figure who wears a pointed cap and blows a horn from which drapes a flag or piece of fabric. The figure is possibly a weathervane. : 59 x 44 Woodblock 1: below cast fleuron and title, flanked by two cast fleurons, centered above first two columns: A city stands above a river. A curved bridge crosses the river to the city gate, which is an arch. The city is crowded with buildings, many low to the ground and several that have high bell towers. At least one of the steeples is topped by a cross. In the upper right-hand corner are birds flying over the rooftops. In the upper left-hand corner is the sun, apparently appearing from behind the clouds that had covered the sky. Below the sun are three angels. Behind the city appears to be a mountainous landscape.: 57 x 68 Woodblock 4: below title, above second column on the right side of the page: An ornate column stands to the right side of a well-dressed man (presumably king) who wears a crown and carries a scepter in his left hand. He wears a heavy cape, has fabric or part of the cape draped across his chest, and wears a short tunic under what appears to be a breastplate. He wears ornate boots and above his head dangle a cord and tassle. : 69 x 39 Pepys Library The Pepys ballads : facsimile volume Editor W.G. Day D.S.

SEe the guilding Of Cheapsides famous building the glorious Crosse, Trimd up most fairly, With gold most rarely, refin'd from drosse: A pleasing prospect to all beholders, that shall but view it, and lately knew it Defac'd of beauty, but now a sumptuous thing: Whose praise and wonder Fame abroad doth ring. Tricked most neatly With cost compleatly adorn'd most rare, Whose shining beauty, Showes the Cities duty and tender care: To preserve their rich & sumptuous buildings, in stately manner, such cost upon her they bestow with honour, Such is the love they beare which now is seene By Cheapside glistering faire. The Crosse there placed, Is now much graced, that it may be knowne, How well the Citie, With care and pitie, respects her owne: Brave Citizens of worthy London, such love they owe it, and now they show it, freely bestow it Upon their City faire, with Cheapside Crosse There's none can make compare.
Search England over, From hence to Dover, and so about, The like to Cheapside, Faire Londons chiefe pride, you'l not find out: Newly beautifi'd most neat and fairly, all may admire, and still desire, to gaze up higher, To see the glorious state of this rare building, Rais'd up very late. O sight most blessed, To see Cheapside dressed, in stately manner: May you persever In love for ever, tis for your honor, To see your Crosse excell in shining all Crosses elsewhere, to this comes not neere, now trimmed most rare: And glorious to behold, whose shining bravery Glistereth all of gold. This golden splendor Makes all men wonder, to see Cheapside: In sumptuous manner, For Londons honor, and state beside: Put downe faire Oxfordshires chiefe beauty Abingtons faire Crosse was never grac't thus, as is bright Cheaps Crosse, Now shining faire and bright, whose excellent splendor Gives the city light.

KInd friends pray turne ye, With griefe now mourne ye, to behold and see An ancient building Now downwards yeelding, ah woe is me: The proverb here is verified truly, old things are worth nought, but that's a bad thought, for to forget ought Once esteemed deare, But yet alasse Too true appeares. In lamentation, I make my supplication to great and small, That erst have view'd me, And now perus'd me, then judge withal, That ancient things in these dayes are more is the pity that such a city, so wise and witty, Should not regard their fame, censure aright, Then tell me where's the blame. I long have stood here, Many bad and good yeare, pining away, Expecting ever, But I feare never to see the day Wherein my state againe shall be advanced, and all things made good, of stone or else wood, where I have long stood, Expecting every day I should be once againe Made neat and gay.
Thou wert a deare one, Old noble Chyron, that plac't me here, My first supporter Of stone and morter, was seated rare: But now you see my top is downward bending my state is reeling, none hath a feeling to my appealing, That now in sad distresse to court and city My sad woes doe expresse. Some honest Courtier Be my Supporter, I now intreate, Some Lord or Barrone, Pitty old Chyrone, ere it be too late, For now now my state you see is down declining my ancient building, is downward yeelding, In wofull manner I waile my wretched state, Oh pity soone, for feare it be too late, In time I crave it, And faine would have it, for mercies sake, Take thou some pitie, Faire London Citie, my foundation make, Aged Pauls and I may waile together and pray in heaven all may be eaven, and gifts be given By charitable men, to beautifie Our buildings faire agen.
FINIS.
