h deadly teeth of yuory, passing on
theyr way and drawing together, making a pleasant braying or noyse.
Their furniture & traces of pure blewe silke, twisted with threds of
golde and siluer: the fastnings in the furniture, all made vp with
square or true loue knots, lyke square eares of corne of the Mountaine
Garganus. Their Poyterelles of golde, set with Pearle and stone
different in collours; the beautie of the one striuing to excell the
beautie of the other. And thus was all their furniture or armings to the
traces, of silke as aforesayde.

Vppon them also, did ride (as before) sixe younge and tender Nymphes, in
like sort, but theyr Instruments different from the former, but agreeing
in consort: and what soeuer the first did, the same did these.

The first two were apparelled in Crymosen: the middle most two in fine
hayre collour: and the foremost in vyolet. The Caparisons of the
Eliphants were of cloth of golde, edged with great Pearles and precious
stones: And about their neckes were ornaments of great round iewelles,
and vpon their faces, great balles of Pearles, tasled with silke and
golde, vnstable and turning.

Ouer this stately Chariot tryumphant, I behelde a most white Swanne, in
the amorous imbracing of a noble Nymph, the daughter of _Theseus_, of an
incredible beautie: and vpon her lappe, sitting the same Swanne, ouer
her white thighes. She sate vppon two cushines of cloth of golde, finely
and softely wouen, with all the ornaments necessary for them.

Her selfe apparelled in a Nimphish sort, in cloth of siluer, heere and
there powdered with golde, ouer one and vnder three, without defect or
want of any thing, requisite to the adorning of so honorable a
representation, which to the beholder, may occasion a pleasurable
delight. In euery sort performed with as great applause as the first.

_The third Tryumph._

Then followed the thyrd Tryumph, with foure wheles of [Ae]thyopian
Chrysolite, sparkling out golde: that which hath beene helde in the
same, in olde time hath beene thought good to dryue away malignant
spirits. The wheeles vpwardly couered, as aforesaide, and the naues and
spokes of the same fashion, of greene Helitropia of Cyprus: whose vertue
is, to keepe secret in the day light, to diuine giftes, full of drops of
blood.
