WIthin the yeare of Christ our Lord a thousand and five hundreth full: And eightie eight by just record the which no man may disanull. And in the thirtieth yeare remaining, of good Queene Elizabeths raigning. A mightie power there was prepared By Philip then the king of Spaine: Against the maiden Queene of England, which in peace before did raigne. Her Ryall ships to sea she sent, to garde the coast on everie side: And seeing how her foes were bent, her realme full well she did provide. With many thousands so prepared: as like was never erst declared. Of horsemen and of footemen plentie, whose good harts full well is seene: In the safegarde of their countrie, and the service of our Queene. In Essex faire that fertill soile, upon the hill of Tilsbury: To give our Spanish foes the foile. in gallant campe they now do lye. Where good orders is ordained, and true justice eke maintained. For the punishment of persons, that are leude or badly bent. To see a sight so straunge in England, t'was our gracious Queenes intent. And on the eight of August she, from faire Saint James tooke her way: With many Lords of high degree, in princely robes and rich aray. And to bardge upon the water, being King Henryes royall daughter. She did goe with trumpets sounding, and with dubbing drums apace: Along the Thames that famous riner, for to view the campe a space. When she as farre as Gravesend came, right over against that prettie towne: Her royall grace with all her traine, was landed there with great renowne. The Lords and Captaines of her forces, mounted on their gallant horses. Readie stood to entertaine her, like martiall men of courage bold: Welcome to the campe dread soveraigne, thus they said both yong and old.
The Bulworkes strong that stood thereby, well garded with sufficient men: Their flags were spred couragiously, their cannons were discharged then. Ech Gunner did declare his cunning, for joy conceived of her coming. All the way her Grace was riding, on each side stood armed men: With Muskets, Pikes, and good Caleevers, for her Graces safegarde then. The Lord generall of the field, had there his bloudie auncient borne: The Lord marshals coulors eke, was carried there all rent and torne. The which with bullets was so burned, when in Flaunders he sojourned. Thus in warlike wise they martched even as soft as foote could fall: Because her Grace was fully minded, perfectly to view them all. Her faithfull souldiers great and small, as each one stood within his place: Upon their kneees began to fall, desiring God to save her Grace. For joy whereof her eyes was filled, that the water downe distilled. Lord blesse you all my friendes, she said, but doe not kneele so much to me: Then sent she warning to the rest, they should not let such reverence be. Then casting up her Princely eyes, unto the hill with perfect sight: The ground all covered she espyes, with feet of armed souldiers bright. Whereat her royall hart so leaped, on her feet upright she stepped. Tossing up her plume of feathers, to them all as they did stand: Chearefully her body bending, waving of her royall hand. Thus through the campe she passed quite, in manner as I have declared: At maister Riches for that night, her graces lodging was preparde. The morrow after her abiding, on a princely paulfrey riding. To the camp she cam to dinner, with her Lordes and Ladies all: The Lord generall went to meete her, with his Guarde of yeomen tall. The Sargeant trumpet with his mace, and nyne with trumpets after him: Bare headed went before her grace, in coates of scarlet colour trim. The king of Heralds tall and comely, was the next in order duely. With the famous Armes of England, wrought with rich imbroidered gold: On finest velvet blew and crimson, that for silver can be sold. With Maces of cleane beaten gold, the Queenes two Sargeants then did ride Most comely men for to behold, in velvet coates and chaines beside. The Lord generall then came riding, and Lord marshall hard beside him. Richly were they both atired, in princelie garments of great price: Bearing still their hats and fethers, in their handes in comely wise
Then came the Queene on pranceing steede atired like an Angell bright: And eight brave footemen at her feete, whose Jerkins were most rich in sight. Her Ladies likewise of great honor, most sumpteously did waite upon her. With pearles and diamonds brave adorned, and in costly cales of gold: Her Guarde in scarlet then rid after, with bowes and arrowes stoute and bold. The valiant Captaines of the field, meane space them selves in order set: And each of them with speare and sheelde, to joyne in battaile did not let. With such a warlike skull extended, as the same was much commended. Such a battaile pitcht in England, many a day hath not beene seene: Thus they stood in order waiting, for the presence of our Queene. At length her grace most royally, received was and brought againe: Where she might see most loyally, this noble hoast and warlike traine. How they cam martching all together, like a wood in winters weather. With the strokes of drummers sounding, and with trampling horses than: The earth and aire did sound like thunder, to the eares of everie man. The warlike Armie then stood still, and drummers left their dubbing sound: Because it was our Princes will, to ride about the Armie round. Her Ladies she did leave behind her, and her Guarde which still did minde her. The Lord generall and Lord marshall, did conduct her to each place: The pikes, the colours, and the lances, at her approch fell downe apace. And then bespake our noble Queene, my loving friends and countriemen: I hope this day the worst is seene, that in our wars ye shall sustaine. But if our enimies doe assaile you, never let your stomackes faile you. For in the midst of all your troupe, we ourselves will be in place: To be your joy, your guide and comfort, even before our enimies face. This done the souldiers all at once, a mightie shoute or crye did give: Which forced from the Assure skyes, an Ecco loud from thence to drive. Which fild her grace with joy and pleasure, and riding then from them by leasure. With trumpets sound most loyally, a long the Court of guarde she went: Who did conduct her Majestie, unto the Lord chiefe generals tent. Where she was feasted royally, with dainties of most costly price: And when that night aproched nye, her Majestie with sage advice, In gracious manner then returned, from the Campe where she sojourned And when that she was safely set, within her Barge, and past away: Her farewell then the trumpets sounded, and the cannons fast did play,
