MY noble Muse assist mee, that I may with credit undergoe my taske, A humor hath possest mee, To write a new ditty, of the triumphant Maske, Which lately was performed in high magnifique sort, To the honor of those Gentry, that live at the Inns of Court. These Noble minded Gallants, to shew their true love, to our Royall King and Queene, Did largely spend their talents, To make a faire shew. that the like was never seene. To let downe all exactly, my skil comes far too short, To the honor of those Gentry, that live at the Inns of Court. The next day after Candlemas, betwixt the houres of seven and nine at night,
This stately company did passe From Hatton-house in Holborne, unto White-hall in sight: Of such a peerelesse object, no age can make report, To the honor of those Gentry, that live at the Inns of Court. A various crew of Anticks all which severall humors in shape did represent, The number of them was not small, Which to the spectators gave wonderful content: Each one in his due posture, did shew exceeding sport, To the honor of those Gentry, that live at the Inns of Court. A hundred sweet yong Gentlemen, that all upon great Horses, were mounted gallantly, Clad in white cloath of Tissue then, And red and white Feathers, most glorious to the eye:
In equipage most sumptuous, they past in solemne sort, These were the brave young Gentry, that live at the Inns of Court, By two and two, and foure and foure, they slowly did ride, on their proud and haughty Steeds, Search al the Lands in Europe ore, No men both in person and face these men exceeds: Their time was long in passing, yet people thought 'twas short, So much they praysd these Gentry, that live at the inns of Court. The Drums and trumpets loudly, did sound before this Heroick company, The Horses danced proudly, As sensible of this so high solemnity: Their footmen did attend them, in brave and solemne sort, To the honour of those Gentry, etc.

BUt that which admiration exacts from all men, that saw or heard of it, Was the Charets, Which is a fashion for mighty Princes and Conquerors most fit, The glory of this action exceedeth all report. To the honour of those Gentry that live at the Innes of Court. Just sixe there were in Number, in those the Maskers themselves did sit in State, Which made the people to wonder, And ravished the Senses of all that there did waite, The oldest man alive cannot of the like report. To the honour of those Gentry that live at the Innes of Court. Two Charets had foure horses each, that went by two and two the rest did goe by foure a breast, In order without any breach: A thing which of all things becomes a triumph best, No one did breake aray, but went on in sober sort. To the honour of those Gentry that live at the Innes of Court. Our gracious King with his deare Queene, did sit to behold this so beautiful a show, It joy'd their hearts when they had seen,
The true and Loyal love, that their subjects to them owe: Unto their long liv'd credit, they shewd their Princely sport. To the honour of those Gentry that live at the Innes of Court. Many thousand pounds of gold tis thought hath not the charge of this matchlesse maske defrayd, Yet let no Critick deeme that naught Which hath on a sudden employ'd so many a trade, Young people may hereafter unto their young report The honour of those Gentry that live at the Innes of Court. No Prince throughout al Christendome can like to our King, of so strange a triumph boast, Those strangers that doe hither come, Wil spread our Ilands glory abroad in many a coast, For al their quaint devises, to this must come farre short. To the honour of those Gentry that live at the Innes of Court.
