Amyas promisedwhat else could he do��and the group hurried on�察�but the lad's heart was heavy in the midst of joy�察�with the thought of John Oxenham�察�as he walked through the churchyard�察�and down the short street which led between the ancient school and still more ancient town´house�察�to the head of the long bridge�察�across which the pageant�察�having arranged ;east´the´water�察─�was to defile�察�and then turn to the right along the quay。
However�察�he was bound in all courtesy to turn his attention now to the show which had been prepared in his honor�察�and which was really well enough worth seeing and hearing。 The English were�察�in those days�察�an altogether dramatic people�察�ready and able�察�as in Bideford that day�察�to extemporize a pageant�察�a masque�察�or any effort of the Thespian art short of the regular drama。 For they were�察�in the first place�察�even down to the very poorest�察�a well´fed people�察�with fewer luxuries than we�察�but more abundant necessaries�察�and while beef�察�ale�察�and good woollen clothes could be obtained in plenty�察�without overworking either body or soul�察�men had time to amuse themselves in something more intellectual than mere toping in pot´ houses。 Moreover�察�the half century after the Reformation in England was one not merely of new intellectual freedom�察�but of immense animal good spirits。 After years of dumb confusion and cruel persecution�察�a breathing time had come�此�Mary and the fires of Smithfield had vanished together like a hideous dream�察�and the mighty shout of joy which greeted Elizabeth's entry into London�察�was the key´note of fifty glorious years�察�the expression of a new´ found strength and freedom�察�which vented itself at home in drama and in song�察�abroad in mighty conquests�察�achieved with the laughing recklessness of boys at play。
So first�察�preceded by the waits�察�came along the bridge toward the town´hall a device prepared by the good rector�察�who�察�standing by�察�acted as showman�察�and explained anxiously to the bystanders the import of a certain ;allegory; wherein on a great banner was depicted Queen Elizabeth herself�察�who�察�in ample ruff and farthingale�察�a Bible in one hand and a sword in the other�察�stood triumphant upon the necks of two sufficiently abject personages�察�whose triple tiara and imperial crown proclaimed them the Pope and the King of Spain�察�while a label�察�issuing from her royal mouth�察�informed the world that
;By land and sea a virgin queen I reign�察 �And spurn to dust both Antichrist and Spain。;
Which�察�having been received with due applause�察�a well´bedizened lad�察�having in his cap as a posy ;Loyalty�察─�stepped forward�察�and delivered himself of the following verses��
;Oh�察�great Eliza� �oh�察�world´famous crew� �Which shall I hail more blest�察�your queen or you�拭 �While without other either falls to wrack�察 �And light must eyes�察�or eyes their light must lack。 She without you�察�a diamond sunk in mine�察 �Its worth unprized�察�to self alone must shine�察 �You without her�察�like hands bereft of head�察 �Like Ajax rage�察�by blindfold lust misled。 She light�察�you eyes�察�she head�察�and you the hands�察 �In fair proportion knit by heavenly hands�察 �Servants in queen�察�and queen in servants blest�察 �Your only glory�察�how to serve her best�察 �And hers how best the adventurous might to guide�察 �Which knows no check of foemen�察�wind�察�or tide�察 �So fair Eliza's spotless fame may fly Triumphant round the globe�察�and shake th' astounded sky� �
With which sufficiently bad verses Loyalty passed on�察�while my Lady Bath hinted to Sir Richard�察�not without reason�察�that the poet�察�in trying to exalt both parties�察�had very sufficiently snubbed both�察�and intimated that it was ;hardly safe for country wits to attempt that euphuistic�察�antithetical�察�and delicately conceited vein�察�whose proper fountain was in Whitehall。; However�察�on went Loyalty�察�very well pleased with himself�察�and next�察�amid much cheering�察�two great tinsel fish�察�a salmon and a trout�察�symbolical of the wealth of Torridge�察�waddled along�察�by means of two human legs and a staff apiece�察�which protruded from the fishes' stomachs。 They drew ��or seemed to draw�察�for half the 'prentices in the town were shoving it behind�察�and cheering on the panting monarchs of the flood�� a car wherein sate�察�amid reeds and river´flags�察�three or four pretty girls in robes of gray´blue spangled with gold�察�their heads wreathed one with a crown of the sweet bog´myrtle�察�another with hops and white convolvulus�察�the third with pale heather and golden fern。 They stopped opposite Amyas�察�and she of the myrtle wreath�察�rising and bowing to him and the company�察�began with a pretty blush to say her say��
;Hither from my moorland home�察 �Nymph of Torridge�察�proud I come�察 �Leaving fen and furzy brake�察 �Haunt of eft and spotted snake�察 �Where to fill mine urns I use�察 �Daily with Atlantic dews�察 �While beside the reedy flood Wild duck leads her paddling brood。 For this morn�察�as Phoebus gay Chased through heaven the night mist gray�察 �Close beside me�察�prankt in pride�察 �Sister Tamar rose�察�and cried�察 �'Sluggard�察�up� �'Tis holiday�察 �In the lowlands far away。 Hark� �how jocund Plymouth bells�察 �Wandering up through mazy dells�察 �Call me down�察�with smiles to hail�察 �My daring Drake's returning sail。' 'Thine alone��' I answer'd。 'Nay�察 �Mine as well the joy to´day。 Heroes train'd on Northern wave�察 �To that Argo new I gave�察 �Lent to thee�察�they roam'd the main�察 �Give me�察�nymph�察�my sons again。' 'Go�察�they wait Thee��' Tamar cried�察 �Southward bounding from my side。 Glad I rose�察�and at my call�察 �Came my Naiads�察�one and all。 Nursling of the mountain sky�察 �Leaving Dian's choir on high�察 �Down her cataracts laughing loud�察 �Ockment leapt from crag and cloud�察 �Leading many a nymph�察�who dwells Where wild deer drink in ferny dells�察 �While the Oreads as they past Peep'd from Druid Tors aghast。 By alder copses sliding slow�察 �Knee´deep in flowers came gentler Yeo And paused awhile her locks to twine With musky hops and white woodbine�察 �Then joined the silver´footed band�察 �Which circled down my golden sand�察 �By dappled park�察�and harbor shady�察 �Haunt of love´lorn knight and lady�察 �My thrice´renowned sons to greet�察 �With rustic song and pageant meet。 For joy� �the girdled robe around Eliza's name henceforth shall sound�察 �Whose venturous fleets to conquest start�察 �Where ended once the seaman's chart�察 �While circling Sol his steps shall count Henceforth from Thule's western mount�察 �And lead new rulers round the seas From furthest Cassiterides。 For found is now the golden tree�察 �Solv'd th' Atlantic mystery�察 �Pluck'd the dragon´guarded fruit�察 �While around the charmed root�察 �Wailing loud�察�the Hesperids Watch their warder's drooping lids。 Low he lies with grisly wound�察 �While the sorceress triple´crown'd In her scarlet robe doth shield him�察 �Till her cunning spells have heal'd him。 Ye�察�meanwhile�察�around the earth Bear the prize of manful worth。 Yet a nobler meed than gold Waits for Albion's children bold�察 �Great Eliza's virgin hand Welcomes you to Fairy´land�察 �While your native Naiads bring Native wreaths as offering。 Simple though their show may be�察 �Britain's worship in them see。 'Tis not price�察�nor outward fairness�察 �Gives the victor's palm its rareness�察 �Simplest tokens can impart Noble throb to noble heart�此 �Graecia�察�prize thy parsley crown�察 �Boast thy laurel�察�Caesar's town�察 �Moorland myrtle still shall be Badge of Devon's Chivalry� �
And so ending�察�she took the wreath of fragrant gale from her own head�察�and stooping from the car�察�placed it on the head of Amyas Leigh�察�who made answer
;There is no place like home�察�my fair mistress and no scent to my taste like this old home´scent in all the spice´islands that I ever sailed by� �
;Her song was not so bad�察─�said Sir Richard to Lady Bath;but how came she to hear Plymouth bells at Tamar´head�察�full fifty miles away�拭 �That's too much of a poet's license�察�is it not�拭�
;The river´nymphs�察�as daughters of Oceanus�察�and thus of immortal parentage�察�are bound to possess organs of more than mortal keenness�察�but�察�as you say�察�the song was not so baderudite�察�as well as prettily conceivedand�察�saving for a certain rustical simplicity and monosyllabic baldness�察�smacks rather of the forests of Castaly than those of Torridge。;
So spake my Lady Bath�察�whom Sir Richard wisely answered not�察�for she was a terribly learned member of the college of critics�察�and disputed even with Sidney's sister the chieftaincy of the Euphuists�察�so Sir Richard answered not�察�but answer was made for him。
;Since the whole choir of Muses�察�madam�察�have migrated to the Court of Whitehall�察�no wonder if some dews of Parnassus should fertilize at times even our Devon moors。;
The speaker was a tall and slim young man�察�some five´and´twenty years old�察�of so rare and delicate a beauty�察�that it seemed that some Greek statue�察�or r
