We are of the race of the bear; and the bear does not yield, so long as there is a drop of blood in his body. Let us all be bears. We will go together with an army to ruin the country of the French. Therefore, send in all haste to New England. Mayor, Aldermen, and Commonality of ye. Citty of Albany, ye. 25 day of february, 1690, in Doc. Hist.
The park was at this time stored with numerous flocks of severall sorts of ordinary and extraordinary wild fowle breeding about the decoy, which, looking neere so greate a citty, and among such a concourse of souldiers and people, is a singular and diverting thing.
The people who now walk'd about ye ruines appear'd like men in some dismal desert, or rather in some greate citty laid waste by a cruel enemy; to which was added that stench that came from some poore creatures' bodies, beds, and other combustible goods."
Yes, th'are ships; I know 'em by their foule linen; now I see them plainely; they come, they come, they come! Hen. How far off? Ten. Speake, sirra. Buz. If you would peace I might heare what they say; the wind serves to bring every word they speake: they make towards, yes, towards this Citty.
This embraced some eight or nine acres and did involve "howses" as well. On April 23, 1623, there was reference to "all the plantations right over against James Citty." They were described as pleasant and fruitful seats. The area in question here extended from Hog Island up to the projection of land now called Swan's Point.
Fer. One Swallow makes not Summer: because once Our City was their prize, is't of necessity It must be so againe? Bust. Or were the Navy Greater, as fame gives out it is the fayrest That ever danced upon these Seas, why yet Should we suspect for this Citty? Fer. Because we dreame soe. Ten. If you did dreame it may be as neare truth: I wish the contrary, but know them daring Enemyes. Fer.
We must, therefore, be beer as strangers and pilgrims, that we may plainly declare that we seek a citty above, and wait all the dayes of our appointed time till our chang shall come.
Teniente, Don John, Henrico. Ten. I ever feard some ill fate pointed at This Citty. Jo. Makes the fleete this way? Hen. Buzzano! Ten. I did dreame every night of't, and the Ravens With their unlucky throates never leave croaking Some danger to us all. Hen. Where's Buzzano? Villaine! Jo. Be not discomforted. Ten.
Captain Smalley, in the absence of James Davis, was in command and the minister was William Wickham. Wickham "in his life and doctrine gives good examples, and godlie instructions to the people." Even though the "citty" continued its decline, the Incorporation, of which it was the center, carried on its name.
Culpeper seems to have recognized the uselessness of the attempt, for he wrote, "I have given all encouragement possible for the rebuilding of James Citty, ... as to the proposall of building houses by those of the Counsell and the cheefe inhabitants, it hath once been attempted in vaine, nothing but profitt and advantage can doe it, and then there will be noe need of anything else."
