Then was there a deuise or a pageant vpon whéels brought in, out of the which pageant issued out a gentleman richlie apparelled, that shewed how in a garden of pleasure there was an arbor of gold,A pageant de|uised to run vpon whéeles. wher|in were lords and ladies, much desirous to shew pas|time to the quéene & ladies, if they might be licenced so to doo: who was answered by the quéene, how she & all other there were verie desirous to sée them and their pastime. Then a great cloth of arras that did hang before the same pageant was taken away, and the pageant brought more néere. It was curiouslie made and plesant to behold, it was solemne and rich; for euerie post or piller thereof was couered with frised gold, therin were trees of hathorne, eglantine, rosiers, vines, and other pleasant floures of diuerse colours, with gillofers, and other hearbs all made of sattin, damaske, siluer and gold, accordinglie as the naturall trees, hearbs, or floures ought to be.

In this arbor were six ladies, all apparelled in white satin and greene, set and embrodered full of H. and K. of gold, knit togither with laces of gold of damaske, and all their garments were replenished with glittering spangels gilt ouer, on their heads were bonets all opened at the foure quarters, ouer|frised with flat gold of damaske, the orrellets were of rolles, wrethed on lampas doucke holow, so that the gold shewed through the lampas doucke; the fassis of their head set full of new deuised fashions. In his garden also was the king and fiue with him apparel|led in garments of purple sattin, all of cuts with H. and K. euerie edge garnished with frised gold,A goodlie she [...] of the king & fiue other with him. and e|uerie garment full of posies, made of letters of fine gold in bullion as thicke as they might be, and euerie person had his name in like letters of massie gold. The first Cure loial, the second Bon voloire, the third Bon espoir, the fourth Valiant desire, the fift Bon foy, the sixt Amour loial, their hosen, caps, and coats were full of posies, with H. & K. of fine gold in bullion, so that the ground could scarse appeere & yet was in euerie void place spangles of gold. When time was come, the said pageant was brought foorth into presence, and then descended a lord and a ladie by couples, and then the minstrels which were disguised also dansed, and the lords and ladies dansed, that it was a pleasure to behold.

In the meane season the pageant was conueied to the end of the palace, there to tarie till the danses were finished, & so to haue receiued the lords & ladies againe; but suddenlie the rude people ran to the pa|geant, and rent, tare, and spoiled the pageant,The rudene [...] of the people assembled to sée the shewe [...] so that the lord steward nor the head officers could not cause them to absteine, except they should haue foughten and drawen bloud, and so was this page|ant broken. Then the king with the queene and the la|dies returned to his chamber, where they had a great banket, and so this triumph ended with mirth & glad|nes. At this solemnitie a shipman of London caught certeine letters, which he sold to a goldsmith for three pounds fourtéene shillings & eight pence; by reason wherof it appéered that the garments were of a great value. After this great ioy came a sorowfull chance,The depar|ture of the kings yoong sonne out of this life. for the yoong prince which was borne vpon New-yeares day last past, vpon the two and twentith daie of Februarie, being then the euen of saint Matthie, departed this world at Richmond, and from thence was caried to Westminster and buried. The king like a wise prince tooke this dolorous chance wonde|rous wiselie; and the more to comfort the quéene he dissembled the matter, and made no great mourning outwardlie: but the queene, like a naturall woman, made much lamentation; how beit, by the kings good persuasion and behauiour, hir sorow was mitiga|ted, but not shortlie.
