the
bravery
of
the
rest
of

,
and
being
streigthned
in
point
of
time
,
I
shall
omit
it

The

Fictions
never
dreamt
Of
such
a
Blisse

's
meant
:
Nor
did
th'
Romantick

ever
tell
An
Amorous

so

.
If

So

Such

your

¶
Not
to
inform
the
knowing
person
,
but
to
help
such
as
are
unacquainted
with
Poetical
Authors
and
Historie
,
I
set
down
the
Explanations
following
.
EXPLANATION
.
a
Leander
was
a
famous
Youth
that
dwelt
in
Abydus
,
a
place
situate
upon
the
opposite
shore
of
Sestos
,
the
place
where
Hero
lived
,
a
Beautiful
Maid
;
To
her
Leander
swimming
by
night
over
Hellespont
(
a
part
of
the
Sea
in
Asia
)
a
storm
arose
and
drowned
him
.
By
Leander
we
may
see
the
violent
passion
and
servency
of
Love
,
that
neither
water
could
quench
,
nor
the
roaring
of
the
waves
terrifie
:
As
Virgil
(
the
best
of
Poets
)
in
his
Georgicks
l.
3.
takes
occasion
to
mention
.
The
b
Swans
are
said
to
sing
a
little
before
they
die
,
which
is
called
an
Epecedean
,
or
Funerall
Song
.
By
c
Vertumnus
is
meant
the
Year
,
returning
into
it self
from
the
middle
or
end
of
September
,
to
September
again
;
Every
moneth
he
assumes
a
new
shape
,
wherefore
he
is
by
some
thought
to
be
Proteus
,
by
reason
of
his
often
changes
,
which
is
said
he
did
to
Court
Pomona
the
Goddesse
of
Fruits
:
In
the
Spring
he
appears
more
Lovely
then
in
any
other
season
of
the
Year
,
and
therefore
he
had
usually
offered
(
and
is
still
attributed
)
to
him
the
first
Flowers
of
the
Gardens
;
He
is
the
aptest
for
his
beloved
Pomona
in
September
and
October
,
the
return
of
his
course
,
for
then
she
likes
him
best
.
d
Hyems
is
the
Father
of
Frosts
,
and
nipping
cold
,
the
sharpest
part
of
Winter
,
it
alludes
to
decreppid
Age
,
and
is
painted
like
an
Old
man
with
Crutches
.
Isis
having
ended
her
Speech
,
their
MAjESTIES
Train
pass
by
another
view
or
Pageant
,
in
the
nature
of
a
Droll
of
Watermen
,
placed
not
far
distance
from
that
of
Isis
;
in
their
passage
the
Watermen
,
who
are
continually
in
action
,
consort
into
this
Song
,
being
set
for
three
parts
.

And
stand

The
Song
ended
,
and
upon
theit
MAjESTIES
drawing
near
,
one
of
the
Watermen
boldly
steps
forward
,
and
expresseth
himself
to
their

drawn
with

on
whose

.
In

Thetis
,
Her
hair
long
and
grey
,
disshevel'd
;
On
her

placed
a

EXPLANATION
Why
Thetis
drawn
in
a
Sea
Chariot
,
accompanied
with
Tritons
,
and
Sea
Nymphs
.
By
the
Chariot
,
is
meant
the
swift
motion
of
the
Sea
,
and
by
the
diversity
of
her
Attendance
,
are
understood
the
various
sorts
of
Fishes
,
which
are
said
to
wait
upon
the
Sea
Gods
and
Goddesses
,
because
they
have
their
being
and
habitation
in
the
Sea
;
But
Tritons
are
commonly
taken
for
Neptunes
Trumpeters
,
and
sometimes
for
Sea
Monsters
.
Thetis
was
also
married
to
Peleus
an
excellent
Navigator
,
and
therefore
is
presented
with
gray
hairs
,
which
is
partly
to
intimate
the
Antiquity
of
Navigation
,
and
partly
to
shew
the
cares
and
fears
of
Seamen
,
who
are
observed
to
become
sooner
Gray
hair'd
then
others
.
Why
her
Mantle
of
severall
Colours
?
B�cause
the
Sea-water
will
look
Red
in
a
Storm
,
sometimes
Blew
,
sometimes
Green
,
sometimes
White
and
Green
,
in
which
Colours
her
Nymphs
are
cloathed
;
for
it
were
very
improper
to
inferre
or
allude
any
thing
in
this
Nature
contrary
to
her
Element
,
and
therefore
their
habits
are
apted
accordingly
.
So
much
for
their
shapes
,
now
to
the
Speech
.
a
The
famous
City
of
Lisbon
in
Portugall
,
by
her
Daughters
are
meant
Rivers
belonging
to
that
Kingdom
;
This
City
is
scituated
upon
five
Hills
,
it
is
encircled
with
strong
Castles
,
upon
which
there
are
76.
Turrets
;
this
City
is
seven
Miles
in
Compasse
,
and
hath
20.
Gates
towards
the
Sea
Coast.
b
The
principal
River
in
Lisbon
so
much
spoken
of
and
commended
in
antient
and
modern
Poetry
,
there
are
150.
great
and
small
Rivers
belonging
to
Portugall
.
c
Lisbon
,
so
called
of
Ulysses
who
passed
that
way
,
her
antient
name
was
Olysippo
from
thence
.
d
The
Dukes
of
that
name
were
of
antient
Renown
,
and
of
such
Valour
and
successe
,
that
Prosperity
and
Plenty
were
never
wanting
among
the
Portugues
.
The
Discent
thus
.
Don
Edward
(
whom
they
call
Duarte
)
was
the
6
th
.
Son
to
King
Emanuell
,
he
had
issue
Katharine
,
Married
to
Iohn
Duke
of
Braganza
,
which
Katharin
(
after
the
Death
of
King
Henry
her
Unkle
)
was
right
Heir
to
the
Crown
of
Portugall
,
from
whom
descended
.
Iohn
Duke
of
Braganza
restored
to
his
Right
,
and
Crowned
King
of
Portugall
by
the
name
of
King
Iohn

who
had
issue
by
Donna
Lucia
,
Daughter
to
the
Duke
of
Medina
Sidonia
in
Spain
,
Alfonso
the
6
th
.
King
of
Portugall
,
and
Donna
Catharina
now
Queen
of
England
.
I
hope
Reader
this
Relation
hath
not
been
too
tedious
to
thee
,
it
falling
in
my
way
I
could
not
omit
it
.
After
their
Maj�sties
and
the
Nobility
are
Landed
,
the
Companies
Barges
that
were
in
the
Front
,
fall
into
the
Rear
,
and
so
hasten
to
their
severall
homes
.
The
Songs
were
set

His
