In and vpon the middest of the rocke sate a faire ladie, richlie apparelled with a dolphin in hir lap. In this rocke were ladies and gentlemen apparelled in crimsin sattin, couered ouer with floures of purple sattin, embrodered vpon with wrethes of gold, knit togither with golden laces, and on euerie floure a hart of gold moouing. The ladies apparell was after the fashion of Iude, with kerchifes of pleasance, hat|ched with fine gold, and set with letters of Gréeke in gold of bullion; and the edges of their kerchifes were garnished with hanging perle. These gentlemen and ladies sat on the nether part of the rocke, and out of a caue in the said rocke came ten knights, armed at all points, and fought togither a faire tournie. And when they were seuered and departed, the disguisors descended from the rocke, and dansed a great space: and suddenlie the rocke mooued and receiued the dis|guisors, and immediatlie closed againe.

Then entered a person called Report, apparelled in crimsin sattin full of toongs, sitting on a flieng horsse with wings and féet of gold called Pegasus. This person in French declared the mening of the rocke, the trées,A statelie or [...]all banket [...] two hun|dred and sixtie [...]. and the tournie. After this pastime en|ded, the king and the ambassadours were serued at a banket with two hundred and sixtie dishes, and after that a voidee of spices with sixtie spice plates of sil|uer and gilt, as great as men with ease might beare. This night the cupboord in the hall was of twelue stages all of plate of gold, and no gilt plate. When that euerie man had béene plentiouslie serued, the tables were taken vp, and the king with the quéene and all the strangers departed to their lodgings.

After diuerse iusts & feasts made for the said am|bassadours by the king and lords: sir Thomas Ex|mew maior of London made to them a costlie din|ner at Goldsmiths hall, which dinner they highlie praised, it was so well ordered. And when the time came, they tooke their leaue of the king, the quéene, and the kings councell, and deliuered into the kings possession their foure hostages (as you haue heard be|fore.) At which departing the king gaue to the adme|rall of France a garnish of gilt vessell, a paire of co|uerd basens gilt,The king of Englands [...]nific [...]nce and bounti|fulnesse to the French am|bassadours & [...]entlemen. twelue great gilt boles, foure paire of great gilt pots, a standing cup of gold, garnished with great pearles: and to some other also, he gaue plate, to some chains of gold, to some rich apparell, and to some great horsses with rich bards, so that euerie gentleman was well rewarded; which liberalitie the strangers much praised: and after that all their trus|ses were readie they departed towards the sea, and tooke ship and landed at Bullogne.]
