th the quenes grace seruyce. Before y{e} said seruyce came y{e} duke of Suffolke high constable y{t} day and stewarde of y{e} feest on horsbacke and meruaylously trapped in aparell w{h} rychesse. Than w{h} hym came y{e} lorde Wyllyam Hawarde as depute to y{e} duke of Norfolke in y{e} rome of y{e} marshal of Englande on horsbacke. The erle of essex caruer. Therle of Sussex sewer. Therle of Darby cupberer. Therle of Arundell butteller. The visconte lysle panter. The lorde Bray awmoner. These noble men dyd theyr seruyce in suche humble sorte and fassyon that it was wonder to se the payne and dylygence of them beynge suche noble personages. The seruyce borne by Knyghtes whiche were to me to longe to tell in order the goodly seruyce of kyndes of meate with their deuyses from the hyest vnto the lowest there haue not ben sene more goodlyer nor honorablyer done in no mannes dayes. There was foure tables in y{e} great hall alonge the sayde hall. The noble women one table syttyng al on y{e} one syde. The noble men an other table. The mayre of London an other table w{h} his bretherne. The barons of the portes with y{e} mayster of the chauncery the fourth table.

Thus endeth this tryumphe: Imprinted at London in Flete-strete by Wynkyn de Worde for Johan Goughe, _Cum Priuilegio._ Footnotes: [1] I believe the woodcut represents Henry VIII. although the horsecloth has a _fleur de lys_ on it, and not the Tudor rose; probably Henry wore the _fleur de lys_ in compliment to Francis. [2] The title of the Second Edition is as follows:-- The Maner of the Tryumphe at Caleys and Bulleyn. The second pryntyge with more addicions as it was done in dede. Cum Priuilegio Regali. [3] In the Museum copy are two MS. Latin lines: "Congressus lector fuma et foedera Regum Et quas vix credas pretiosas perlege pompas." [4] In the Second Edition, the text begins with: "The names of the noble men of Fraunce. Fyrst the frensshe Kynge.[A] The kynge of Nauerne.[B
