Reprints.

The whole Order* howe our Soveraigne Ladye Queen ELIZABETH was receyved into the Citie of BRISTOW [1574]+, and the Speaches spoken before her presens at her Entry; with the residue of Versis and Matter that might not be spoken (for distance of the place), but sent in a Book over the Waetter.‡

Taken from "The Firste Parte of CHURCHYARDES CHIPPES, contayning twelve seueral Labours. Devised and published, only by THOMAS CHURCHYARD Gentilman." 1575.

There are other compositions on similar occasions in Churchyard's book. He appears to have been a popular writer in his day, and was probably engaged by the Corporation of Bristol to produce this pageant.-ED.

+ Strype says, the Queen began her progress in the month of June. "It was thought she would go to Bristow. The Gests were making in order thereto." Annals, vol. ii. p. 337.

+ "Into Wales, whither the Queen went on leaving Bristol," says Mr. Nichols, in his collection of The Progresses and Public Processions of Queen Elizabeth, from which we have reprinted this tract; but his conjecture is certainly erroneous. It will be evident from a perusal of the piece and a local knowledge of the situation to which it refers, that the Queen was a spectator of this pageant from the opposite bank of the Avon; and therefore "for distance of the place" the "speeches could not be sayd in the heeryng of the prince, wherfore they wear put into a book and presented." Vide p. 149. In a subsequent page the writer describes the presentation of the book (probably in manuscript) by a gentleman who swam over the water with it, while the Queen was viewing the spectacle.-ED.
