Unoquha: typo
'''''[[London's Love to Prince Henry]]''''' (31 May 1610), was a pageant on the [[River Thames]] devised by [[Anthony Munday]] for the city of London for the investiture of [[Henry Frederick, Prince of Wales|Prince Henry]] as [[Prince of Wales]].<ref>Martin Wiggins & Catherine Richardson, ''British Drama 1533-1642: A Catalogue: 1609-1616'', vol. 3 (Oxford, 2015), pp. 72-4.</ref>
This pageant was performed on the [[Thames]] between Chelsea and Whitehall. It was organised by the [[Lord Mayor of London]], and written by [[Anthony Munday]] who subsequently published an account of the festival.
Prince Henry's barge encountered Corinea, Queen of Cornwall ([[King's Men personnel|John Rice]]), riding on a whale. She declared London's love for him. Next at [[Whitehall]], Henry met Amphion, a Genius of Wales, ([[Richard Burbage]], riding a dolphin, who bid the Prince farewell. Musicians were concealed in the whale and the dolphin.<ref>Martin Wiggins & Catherine Richardson, ''British Drama 1533-1642: A Catalogue: 1609-1616'', vol. 3 (Oxford, 2015), pp. 72-4.</ref>
Corinea wore a "watrie habit yet riche riche and costly, with a Coronet of Pearles and Cockle shelles on her head." 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."<ref>Anthony Munday, ''London's love, to the Royal Prince Henrie meeting him on the river of Thames'' (London, 1610), pp. 14, 19.</ref>
[[Frederick Ulrich, Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg]] nephew of [[Anne of Denmark]], was among the audience and passengers on the prince's barge. The following Monday a water-fight and fireworks night was planned, and announced by the appearance of [[Proteus]]. This event was rained off, but on 5 June 1610 the aquatic theme continued with ''[[Tethys' Festival]]''.
