Funeral of the High and Mighty Prince Henry
The body of the said Prince being bowelled, embalmed and closed up in lead, there were four chambers hung with blacks, viz., the guard chamber and presence with black cloth, the privy chamber with finest cloth, and that which was his Highness’s bedchamber, with black velvet: in the middest whereof was set up a canopy of black velvet, balanced, and fringed; under which upon tressels the coffin with the body of the Prince was placed, covered with a large pall of black velvet, and adorned with cushions of his Arms. Upon the head of which coffin was laid a cushion of black velvet, and his Highness’s cap and coronet set thereon, as also his robes of estate, sword and rod of gold; and so it remained (being daily and nightly watched) until two or three days before his Highness’s funeral. In which time every day, both morning and evening prayers were said in his presence or privy chamber, by his chaplains, and his gentlemen and chief officers attendant there at.

Henry, eldest son of the King of Great Britain, late of blessed hope, now of happy memory, died on November 6, 1612. He died to the great grief and regret of the whole Kingdom, as being a youth who had neither offended men’s minds nor satiated them. The goodness of his disposition had awakened manifold hopes among numbers of all ranks, nor had he lived long enough to disappoint them. Moreover, as among the people generally he had the reputation of being firm in the cause of religion; so the wider sort were deeply impressed with the feeling that he had been to his father as a guard and shield against the machinations of conspirators, a mischief for which our age has hardly found a remedy; so that the love of the people both for religion and for the King overflowed upon him, and was rightly taken into account in estimating his loss. In body he was strong and erect, of middle height, his limbs gracefully put together, his gait King like, his face long and somewhat lean, his habit rather full, his countenance composed, and the motion of his eyes rather sedate than powerful. His forehead bore marks of severity; his mouth had a touch of pride. And yet when one penetrate beyond those outworks, and soothed him with due attention and seasonable discourse, one found him gentle and easy to deal with; so that he seemed quite another man in conversation than his aspect promised; and altogether he was one who might easily get himself a reputation at variance with his manners.
Of praise and glory he was doubtless covetous; and was stirred with every show of good and every breath of honour: which in a young man goes of virtues. For both arms and military men were in honour with him; nor was he himself without something of a warlike spirit; he was given also to magnificence of works, though otherwise frugal enough of money; he was fond of antiquity and arts: and a favourer of learning, though rather in the honour he paid it than the time he spent upon it. In his morals there was nothing more to be praised than that in every kind of duty he seemed to be well trained and conformable. He was a wonderfully obedient son to the King his father, very attentive also to the Queen, kind to his brother; but his sister he specially loved; whom also he resembled in countenance, as far as a man’s face can be compared with that of a very beautiful girl. The master and tutors of his youth also (which rarely happens) continued in great favour with him, in discourse, as he exacted respect from others, so he observed it himself and finally in his daily way of life, and the assignation of several hours for its several duties, he was constant and regular above the habit of his years. He died in the nineteenth year of his age of a malignant fever, which-springing from the great heats and droughts, greater than islanders are accustomed to, was very general among the people during the summer, though few died of it; but became towards autumn more fatal. Rumours, ever more malignant (as Tacitus says) upon the deaths of Princes, suggested poison. But as no symptoms of such a thing appears, especially in the stomach which is commonly most affected by poison, that report soon died away.
