The platform on which the Prince of Spain and young Clinton stood, after leaving the boat, was entirely1 deserted2, the vast concourse, recently assembled there, having returned, as already stated, to the town. Here and there a sentinel, in steel cap and breastplate, and armed with a halberd, strode to and fro along the solitary3 quay4. One of these sentinels challenged the Prince and his companion on their landing, but a word from Osbert caused the man to retire.
As Philip first set foot on English ground a thrill of exultation5 ran through his breast, but he allowed no outward manifestation6 of the feeling to escape him; but after a momentary7 halt, signified his desire to Osbert to enter the town.
The night was dark, but clear and perfectly8 calm. Behind, on the smooth sea, which reflected the stars shining brilliantly above, and the lights of the large lanterns hanging at the poops of the vessels9, lay the “Santissima Trinidada,” with her scarcely less colossal10 companions beside her, looming11 like leviathans in the darkness. Here all seemed buried in repose12, for no sound arose from the mighty13 ships, or from the squadron in their rear. But in front there was a strong light proceeding15 from a blazing barrel of pitch set on the top of the Water-gate, the flames of which, rising to 42a great height, illumined the battlements and keep of the castle, as well as the steeples of the churches and the roofs of the loftier buildings, casting a ruddy glare on the moat beneath, and making the adjacent walls and towers look perfectly black. Moreover, a loud hum, with other sounds arising from the interior of the town, showed that its inhabitants were still astir.
Traversing a drawbridge, near which another sentinel was stationed, Osbert and his royal companion speedily reached the Water-gate. Three or four halberdiers were standing16 beneath the archway, and advanced to question them, but satisfied with young Clinton’s explanation, one of them struck his pole against the massive door, whereupon a wicket was opened, and the pair entered the town.
They were now at the foot of English-street, with the principal features of which the reader is familiar. Active preparations of various kinds were here being made for the anticipated ceremonial of the morrow. Men were employed in decorating scaffolds erected17 near the gate, and other artificers were occupied in adorning18 the fronts of the houses. Though the hour was late, owing to the bustle19 of preparation, and the numerous strangers within the town, few of the inhabitants of this quarter had retired20 to rest. Festivities seemed to be going on in most of the houses. Lights streamed from the open casements21, while joyous22 shouts, laughter, and strains of music resounded23 from within.
All was strange to Philip—the quaint24 and picturesque25 architecture of the habitations, the manners, and to some extent the very dresses of the people. But though he was amused by the novelty of the scene, the rudeness, noisy talk, boisterous26 merriment, and quarrels of the common folk, were by no means to his taste. Naturally, his own arrival in the harbour and expected disembarkation on the morrow formed the universal topics of discourse27, and he heard remarks upon himself and his nation, such as he had not hitherto conceived that any one would venture to utter. Little did the heedless talkers imagine that the haughty-looking stranger, with his face closely muffled28 in his mantle29, who passed them in the street, or lingered for a moment beneath a porch to watch their proceedings30, was the Prince of Spain. Well was it, indeed, for Philip that he was not recognised, since there 43were some discontented folk abroad that night who might not have held his royal person sacred.
Philip took no notice of his opprobrious31 discourse to his conductor, who would fain have shut his ears to it, but he said within himself, “I begin to understand these people. They are insolent32, audacious, and rebellious33. Alva was right. They must be ruled with an iron hand.”
As he walked along, the Prince glanced through the open windows into the dining-chambers of some of the larger houses, and seeing the tables covered with flasks34 and flagons, and surrounded by guests, whose condition proclaimed that they had been drinking deeply, he inquired of Osbert whether his countrymen usually committed such excesses?
“They are somewhat prone35 to conviviality36, I must admit,” replied the young man. “But joy at your Highness’s safe arrival has doubtless made them carouse37 longer than their wont38 to-night. Besides, there are many strangers in the town, and the hospitality of the Southampton merchants knows no limit.”
Whether this explanation was entirely satisfactory to the Prince may be doubted, but he made no further remark.
By this time, Philip and his conductor had arrived within a short distance of Holyrood Church. An arch had here been thrown across the street, which some young women were decorating with flowers and ribbons; while a knot of apprentices40, in jerkins of grey or russet serge and flat caps, were superintending their operations, and holding torches for them.
All at once a great shouting was heard in the upper part of the street, whereupon the maidens41 suspended their task, and called out gleefully to the youths that Sir Bevis and Ascapart were coming. At this intimation the apprentices drew back, and with some others of the townsfolk who were assembled there, ranged themselves on either side of the arch.
Presently the clamour increased, showing that the knight43 of Southampton and his gigantic squire44 must be close at hand, and in order to get out of the way of the crowd, the Prince and his companion withdrew into a porch, whence they could see what was going on without molestation45.
Scarcely had they thus ensconced themselves when a 44tumultuous throng46 burst through the arch. These were followed by a troop of Moors—for such they seemed, from their white garments, turbans adorned47 with the crescent, and blackened features. The foremost of these Paynims bore torches, but three of them, who marched in the rear, had golden fetters48 on their wrists, and crowns on their heads. After these captive monarchs49 rode their conqueror50, bestriding his mighty war-horse, Arundel. Sir Bevis, who was of gigantic proportions, was equipped in an enormous steel corslet, with greaves to match, and had on his head a white-plumed52 helm, the visor of which being raised, disclosed a broad, bluff53, bearded visage. Arundel was of extraordinary size and strength, as he had need to be with such a rider, and had a tufted chamfron on his head, with housings of red velvet54.
On the right and left of Sir Bevis strode two personages, whose frames were as gigantic as his own. One of these, clad in a tunic55 of chain armour56, which fully42 developed his prodigious57 amplitude58 of chest, wore a conical helmet surmounted59 by a crown, and having a great nasal in front, which gave peculiar60 effect to his burly features. This was the Anglo-Danish King, Canute. His majesty61 bore on his hip14 a tremendous sword, the scabbard of which was inscribed62 with mystic characters, and carried in his hand a spear that would have suited Goliath. His shield was oval in form, with a spiked63 boss in the centre.
Loftier by half a head than the royal Dane was the giant Ascapart, who marched on the other side of the valorous knight of Southampton. Ascapart’s leathern doublet was studded with knobs of brass64; a gorget of the same metal encircled a throat thick as that of a bull; his brawny65 legs were swathed with bands of various colours; and on his shoulders, which were even broader than those of Canute or of his master Sir Bevis, he carried a ponderous66 club, which it would have puzzled an ordinary man to lift. At his back hung a dragon’s head, no doubt that of the terrific monster slain67 by Sir Bevis. Despite his attire68 and formidable club, there was nothing savage69 in Ascapart’s aspect. On the contrary, his large face had a very good-humoured expression; and the same may be asserted both of Sir Bevis and Canute. It was evident from the strong family likeness70 distinguishing them that the three giants must be brothers.
45As if to contrast with their extraordinary stature71, these Anakim were followed by a dwarf72, whose appearance was hailed with universal merriment by the spectators. A doublet and cloak of silk and velvet of the brightest hues73, with a cap surmounted by a parti-coloured plume51 of ostrich74 feathers, formed the attire of this remarkable75 mannikin. A rapier, appropriate to his size, was girt to his thigh76, and a dagger77, tiny as a bodkin, hung from his girdle. He rode a piebald horse, and behind him on a pillion sat a plump little dame78, representing the Princess Josyan, whose transcendant beauty had bewitched Sir Bevis, and softened79 the adamantine heart of the ferocious80 Ascapart. It can scarcely be affirmed that the Princess’s charms were calculated to produce such effects on men in general, but there was doubtless a sorcery about her, which operated more potently81 on certain subjects than on others. To ordinary eyes she appeared a fat little woman, neither very young nor very tempting82, with a merry black eye and a comical expression of countenance83. Princess Josyan’s gown was of green velvet, and her embroidered84 cap had long lappets covering the ears. In her hand she carried a fan made of peacock’s feathers.
In Sir Bevis and his companions Osbert Clinton at once recognised (as perhaps some of our readers may have done) three well-known gigantic warders of the Tower, yclept Og, Gog, and Magog, who, on account of their prodigious stature, were constantly employed in state pageants85 and ceremonials, while in the consequential86 looking pigmy riding behind them he did not fail to detect the Queen’s favourite dwarf, Xit, who of late, having received the honour of knighthood from her Majesty, had assumed the title of Sir Narcissus le Grand. The plump little occupant of the pillion, Osbert felt sure must be Lady le Grand, formerly87 Jane the Fool, whom the Queen had been graciously pleased to bestow88 in marriage upon Xit. While young Clinton was detailing these circumstances to the Prince, an incident occurred that brought a smile to Philip’s grave countenance.
As Og, the representative of Sir Bevis, was passing through the arch, which his plumed helmet well-nigh touched, he perceived a very comely89 damsel looking down from a ladder on which she was standing, and laughing at 46him. Without more ado, he raised himself in his stirrups, and putting his arm round her neck, gave her a sounding salute90. Indignant at this proceeding, the damsel requited91 him with a buffet92 on the cheek, but in so doing she lost her balance, and would have fallen if the giant had not caught her, and placed her behind him on the broad back of Arundel, which done, he secured his prize by passing his belt round her waist.
Great was the amusement of the bystanders at this occurrence, and several of them clapped their hands and called out, “The Princess Josyan!—the Princess Josyan!” One young gallant93, however, did not share the general mirth, but, shouting to Sir Bevis to set the damsel down, made an effort to release her. But he was thwarted94 in his purpose by Magog, or rather, we should say, by the terrible Ascapart, who, seizing him by the jerkin, notwithstanding his struggles, handed him to Sir Bevis, and by the latter he was instantly transferred to the highest step of the ladder which the damsel had just quitted. Satisfied with what he had done, Sir Bevis rode on, carrying away with him his fair captive, amid the plaudits and laughter of the spectators. Highly incensed95 at the treatment he had experienced, the youth was preparing to descend96, when he perceived Xit beneath him, and stung to fury by the derisive97 laughter and gestures of the dwarf, who was mightily98 entertained by what had taken place, he pulled off his thick flat cap, and threw it with such force, and so true an aim, that hitting Xit on the head, it nearly knocked him off his horse.
Greatly ruffled99 by the indignity100 thus offered him, Xit, as soon as he recovered his equilibrium101, drew his sword, and shrieking102 out to the apprentice39 that he should pay for his insolence103 with his life, bade him come down instantly. But the youth did not care to comply, but joined in the laughter of the spectators, all of whom were prodigiously104 entertained by the enraged105 dwarf’s cries and gesticulations. At last, Xit, who was preparing to scale the ladder and attack his foe106, yielded to the solicitations of Lady le Grand, and rode on, delivering this parting menace: “We shall meet again, thou craven flat-cap, when I shall not fail to avenge107 the insult offered me.”
He then quickened his pace, for the laughter and jests of 47the bystanders displeased108 him, and speedily overtook the cavalcade109. On coming up with it, he found that the damsel, who was universally saluted110 as the Princess Josyan, still maintained her position behind Sir Bevis, and, indeed, seemed perfectly reconciled to it, as she was now chatting in a very amicable111 manner with her captor. Perhaps her vanity was a little excited by the effect she evidently produced upon the lookers-on. This may account for the proffer112 she voluntarily made to Sir Bevis, to enact113 the Princess Josyan on the morrow—a proffer which the courteous114 knight readily accepted, provided the matter could be accommodated with Lady le Grand, who had a prior claim to the part.
Great was the tribulation115 of the luckless apprentice who had thus lost his sweetheart. From his elevated position he watched her progress down the street, and could perceive that she manifested no disposition116 to dismount. But he soon lost sight of her, since, before reaching the bottom of English-street, Sir Bevis and his cortége turned off on the right in the direction of the West-gate.
