enclosing Within the Guard of Archers the Burgundian Nobilitie having procured admiration and loue not with feare or tyrannie but with sweet and affable government which in mens hearts purchaseth loue and good will They light on foot and having forsaken their Stooles and Chayres the Queene our Ladie and the Ladie Infanta remain'd in the Scaffold on the right hand the Infant Charles and the Prince being divided by one partition and the King and the Infant Ferdinando by the other and in that which remayned ensuing the Conde de Oliuares the English Embassadors the Counsells of Estate the Chamber of Spaine and England the other Knights and Gentlemen of this Nation on Scaffolds erected vp into the ayre in a corner of the street of the Amargura and they made entrie for these Lords Fiftie Laqueyes in high Dutch habite of thynne cloth of Silver white and tawney with tawney-doubletts caps of wrought Silver and Swords Silvered in every part accompanied the Duke of Cea who entred in mounted on a large dapple Gray with blacke habite edged round about with silver of Goldsmiths-worke with as great gallantry as wisedome and as much wisedome as reason to winne mens hearts after him two valiant Combatants at the Bull with Cassockes and Hose of tawney cloth layd along with Silver lace and great tawney Plumes mingled Turquye and White He had scarcely gone his round about the place presented himselfe to their Maiesties and beene received of the Prince with the honor of discovering himselfe to him when there entred into the place being clearly voyded so as their entries were more easie and apparent an hundred Lacqueyes clothed in darke coloured Serge garded all over with Lace with Belts shining like Silver Doubletts and Hose Lynings and Caps of Tawney colour like furniture to their Swords and white Garters And after them came in Don Iuan de Ozeta Don Ieronimo de Medinilla Don Euan de Menesses Don Antonio Guino Don Iasepe de Samano Don Iuan Ieldre the Conde de Cantillana Don Diego de Zarate Don Antonio de Moscoso Don Pedro de Motezuma the Conde de Tendilla accompanyed with the Duke of Maqueda whose entrie both in respect of his qualitie as also for the Valour and aspect of his person might well haue stirr'd vp envie in the Romaine Triumphes for the Duke lookt like one of the Caesars or rather in deed he might more properly haue beene their patterne and example They went along their Round and the Prince himselfe did him honour when by different gates these herevnder specified made their entire The Marquesse of Vela in whom valour dexteritie and gallantrie contended for superioritie accompanyed with foure and twentie Lacqueyes in white cloth all laced downe with blacke Caps Plumes and other furniture for their Swords of white He drew vpon himselfe the eyes of the whole multitude for indeed he drew generally vnto him all their affections the Prince did him honour as he likewise did the other two Lords Grandes When he had seene their Maiesties he went to offer himselfe vnto the Ladies from thence to the Counsell Royall and so in his going about to all the rest of the Company and all of them desired and affected him Presently entred fiftie Lacqueyes in white Printed Sattin guarded with a brancht Stuffe of Azur'd Silke and Gold and Breeches of the same set out with tuffes of gold and silver lace with furniture and Plumes of white that accompanied the Conde de Villamor mounted on a darke Chestnut-colourd Horse with his mayne and tayle drawne out with silver twist disgracing those Horses of Phoebus Chariot which seem'd to come out of them as the some or sweat of their bodies eiecting that which was not naturall in them retayning naturally the valour of their Master communicated to them and when I saw so many Feathers in the place and such a flittering and waving of them I tooke them to be a moovible garden or an Armie of Indians as also the Conde his generous Grandfather who also manifested amongst them the valour and lustre incident to his race and blood And because the report is festivall it is but like to that which was to be seene with the eye You would haue said as much if you had but seene them fight with those furious Beasts shewing themselues the more valiant in that they were vndaunted and resolved Spanyards There entred presently Don Cristoual de Gauiria and Don Gasper Bonifaz whom they tearme kill Bulls I know not which of them may envie the other seeing they are the best Combatants knowne in all Spaine for this place and fight and both of them so well beloued that their attempts being high and great yet they are alwayes wished to be greater and we thinke them worthy of greater and higher Fortunes Bonifaz clad six Lacqueyes in excellent cloth in grane exceeding that of Tyre garded with other furniture and white Feathers what they were might be seene all the place over and Gauiria had eyght and two little Lacqueyes in darke greene Sutes cutt embroydered with Snailes of silver and lyned

Lacqueyes by Proclamation leauing their Lords they resembled Harvest in Iune crowned with blew and redd flowers which Zephirus waues and flitters vp and downe The first encounter belong'd to the Conde de Villamor as the envie of all the rest which they revenged with such a number of Darts as the poore Bulles remayn'd like Quivers or like the Thorne-bushes in the woods of Helvetia To speake more properly seeing to the poore Beasts wonderfull paine they tooke them out with as great velocitie as perill and danger De
