London's Love to Prince Henry

[3] Prince Henry's barge coming from Richmond Palace encountered Corinea, Queen of Cornwall (John Rice), at Chelsea riding on a whale.

Next at Whitehall, Henry met Amphion, a Genius of Wales, (Richard Burbage), riding a dolphin, who bid the Prince farewell.

Amphion was "a grave and judicious Prophet-like personage, attyred in his apt habits, every way answerable to his state and profession, with a wreathe of Sea-shelles on his head, and his harpe haging in fayre twine before him.

Noyes thought that Compton's disguise as a shepherd might refer to the wealth of his father-in-law Sir John Spencer, founded on woollen cloth.

He was impressed by a description of the rockets on 6 June, powerful enough "to fly up into the air twice so high as St Paul's tower and when it was highest it would stream down again as long as bellropes, and the fires did seem to fight and skirmish one with another in the skies; which was very pleasant to behold in the dark evening".
