THe
Kings
Majesties
Masque
being
performed
,
the
Queene
commanded
Inigo
Iones
Surveyor
of
her
Majesties
works
,
to
make
a
new
subject
of
a
Masque
for
her selfe
,
that
with
high
and
hearty
invention
,
might
give
occasion
for
variety
of
Scenes
,
strange
aparitions
,
Songs
,
Musick
and
dancing
of
severall
kinds
;
from
whence
doth
result
the
true
pleasure
peculiar
to
our
English
Masques
,
which
by
strangers
and
travellers
of
judgement
,
are
held
to
be
as
noble
and
ingenious
,
as
those
of
any
other
nations
:
This
being
suddainly
done
and
shewed
her
Majestie
,
and
shee
approving
it
,
the
worke
was
set
in
hand
,
and
with
all
celerity
performed
in
shorter
time
,
than
any
thing
here
hath
beene
done
in
this
kind
.
The
invention
consisting
of
darknesse
and
light
,
the
night
presents
the
first
Antimasques
and
sleepe
with
his
three
principall
children
,
the
Antimasques
of
dreams
:
The
subject
of
the
maine
Masque
of
light
,
was
thus
introduc'd
.
The
Muses
being
long
since
drawne
out
of
Greece
by
the
fierce
Thratians
,
their
groves
withered
and
all
their
springs
dryed
up
,
and
out
of
Italy
by
the
barbarous
Goths
and
vandals
,
they
wandred
here
and
there
indecently
without
their
ornaments
and
instruments
:
The
Arch-Flamines
and
Flamines
their
Prophetick
Priests
being
constrained
either
to
live
in
disguises
,
or
hide
their
heads
in
caves
,
and
in
some
places
,
whensoever
they
began
to
appeare
,
they
were
together
with
peace
driven
out
by
warre
,
and
in
the
more
civiliz'd
parts
,
where
they
hop'd
to
have
taken
some
rest
,
envy
and
avarice
by
clipping
the
wings
of
Fame
drave
them
into
a
perpetuall
storme
,
till
by
the
divine
mindes
of
these
incomparable
Paire
,
the
Muses
and
they
were
received
into
protection
,
and
establisht
in
this
monarchy
,
to
the
incouragement
and
security
of
those
well-borne
wits
represented
by
the
Prophetick
Priests
of
the
Britanides
.
The
Scene
where
this
goddesse
of
brightnesse
was
discovered
,
was
stiled
the
garden
of
the
Britanides
,
or
Muses
of
great
Brittaine
,
not
inferiour
in
beautie
to
that
of
the
Hesperides
,
or
that
of
Alcinous
,
celebrated
by
Homer
.
The
conclusion
of
all
was
an
applause
and
confirmation
of
those
Deities
or
second
causes
by
whose
influence
at
this
prefixed
time
,
the
Britanides
and
their
Prophetick
Priests
were
to
be
establisht
in
this
garden
,
by
the
unanimous
and
magnificent
vertues
of
the
King
and
Queenes
Majesties
making
this
happy
Island
a
patterne
to
all
Nations
,
as
Greece
was
amongst
the
Ancients
.
The
ornament
which
serv'd
as
a
Bordure
to
enclose
the
Scene
,
was
raised
on
two
round
Basements
,
on
which
were
Satyres
bigger
than
the
life
,
bearing
baskets
of
fruits
,
and
knots
of
young
Satyres
clinging
about
their
leggs
in
extravagant
postures
:
above
these
ran
cornicements
,
which
made
the
ground
of
a
second
order
,
wherein
were
termes
of
women
fained
of
silver
,
and
children
in
their
naturall
colours
standing
on
arches
,
some
wantonising
about
those
termes
,
and
others
holding
great
vizards
before
their
faces
:
On
the
heads
of
the
Termes
were
cushions
which
served
for
capitals
,
that
bore
the
finishing
of
composed
frontispices
of
great
scrowles
with
frutages
,
from
whence
hung
lighted
Lamps
.
In
the
Freeze
above
was
other
young
Satyres
,
which
seem'd
oppress'd
with
the
burthen
of
great
festons
,
the
husks
of
which
were
tied
up
in
knots
to
a
double
compartiment
composed
of
scrowles
,
quadratures
,
and
Masque
heads
,
in
the
midst
hung
a
drapery
fained
,
of
cloth
of
silver
,
and
in
it
was
written
LVMINALIA
:
under
all
this
ranne
a
large
valens
of
gold
embroidered
with
flowers
and
great
Tassels
.
The
Kings
Majestie
being
seated
under
the
State
,
the
curtaine
in
an
instant
disappear'd
discovering
a
Scene
all
of
darknesse
,
the
neerer
part
woody
,
and
farther
off
more
open
with
a
calme
River
,
that
tooke
the
shadowes
of
the
Trees
by
the
light
of
the
Moone
,
that
appear'd
shining
in
the
River
;
there
being
no
more
light
to
lighten
the
whole
Scene
than
served
to
distinguish
the
severall
grounds
,
that
seemed
to
run
farre
in
from
the
eye
,
with
this
Scene
of
darknesse
was
heard
the
voyces
of
Birds
of
Night
.
This
strange
Scene
having
a
while
entertained
the
sight
of
the
spectators
,
there
arose
out
of
the
hollow
caverns
of
the
earth
a
duskie
cloud
,
and
on
it
a
Chariot
enricht
and
drawne
by
two
great
owles
,
on
this
sate
a
matron
in
a
purple
robe
,
with
starres
of
gold
and
large
black
wings
displaied
,
her
browne
haire
loose
,
and
on
her
head
a
vaile
of
russet
cipresse
,
with
a
picked
crowne
and
a
golden
Scepter
in
her
hand
;
Representing
night
:
she
tels
she
came
to
give
repose
to
the
labours
of
mortals
:
but
seing
all
things
here
tending
to
feasts
and
revels
,
shee
with
her
attendants
will
give
her
assistance
,
though
it
serve
but
as
a
foile
to
set
off
more
nobler
representations
.

In
wet
and
cloudy

,
I
sloowly
rise
,
As
with
mine
owne
dull
weight
opprest
.
To
close
with
sleep
the
jealous
lovers
eyes
,
And
give
forsaken
Virgins
rest

Th'

(
Whom
stormes

Beginne
to
trust
the
windes
when
I
appeare
,
And
lose
their
dangers
in
their
sleep
.
(

)
The
studious
that
consume
their
brains
and
sight
,
In
search
where
doubtfull
knowledge
lies
,
Grow
wearie
of
their
fruitlesse
use
of
light
,
And
wish
my
shades
to
ease
their
eyes
.
(

Th'
ambitious
toyling
Statesman
that
prepares
Great
mischiefes
ere
the
day
begins
,
Not
measures
day
by
houres
,
but
by
his
cares
;
And
night
must
intermit
his
sinnes
.
(

)
Then
why
,
when
my
slow
Chariot
us'd
to
clime
,
Did
old
mistaking
Sages
weepe
?
As
if
my
Empire
did
usurpe
their
time
,
And
houres
were
lost
when
spent
in
sleep
.
(

)
I
come
to
ease
their
labours
and
prevent
That
wearinesse
which
would
destroy
:
The
profit
of
their
toyles
are
still
miss-spent
Till
rest
enables
to
enjoy
.
There
came
out
from
the
sides
of
the
Scene
six
persons
,
Oblivion
,
Silence
,
and
the
foure
nocturnall
houres
or
vigils
,
all
attendants
on
the
night
.
Oblivion
a
young
man
naked
,
and
a
greene
mantle
tucked
about
his
shoulders
,
and
upon
his
head
a
cuckoe
.
Silence
an
old
man
in
a
skin
coat
close
to
his
body
set
full
of
eyes
,
his
mantle
tawny
,
and
a
girland
of
Peach-tree
about
his
head
.
The
first
vigill
in
a
robe
of
blue
,
with
a
red
mantle
,
her
haire
hanging
downe
in
locks
,
and
a
bat
setting
before
.
The
second
habited
as
the
former
,
but
the
colours
somwhat
darker
,
on
her
head
a
scritch-owle
.
The
third
in
purple
,
and
black
,
on
her
head
a
dormouse
.
The
fourth
in
watchet
and
carnation
,
her
haire
mixt
with
silver
like
dew
,
and
a
little
Swan
on
her
head
,
all
these
colours
were
appropriated
to
the
severall
nocturnall
houres
.
The
Chariot
of
Night
being
arrived
to
the
middle
of
the
aire
,
staid
,
and
after
some
dialogue
with
her
attendants
,
shee
ascends
singing
,
and
is
hidden
in
the
clouds

Nights

Silence

Why
dreadfull
Queen
dost
thou
appeare

So
early
in

1
Vigill
.
Where
all
to
triumphs
are
addrest
,
As
they
did
need
as
little
rest
As
wandring
Planets
have
above
;
Who
ne're
are
tir'd
,
yet
ever
move
.
Oblivion
.
As
little
wearie
as
are
they
;
As
free
from
suffrings
and
decay
,
Or
feare
of
fleeting
times
expence
;
Not
tir'd
,
with
weight
,
or
vex'd
with
sense
.
1
Vigill
.
Why
would
Oblivion
mix
with
these
that
strive
,
To
raise
new
joyes
,
and
keep
the
old
alive
?
Vigill

What
is
the
use
of
silence
here
?
Thou
see'st
(
great
Empresse

ev'ry
eie

Doth
watch
for

,
ev'ry
eare
Doth
hearken

Chorus
of
all
.
Why
are
we
come
to
give
their
labours
ease
?
That
reckon
sleepe
a
death
,
rest
a
disease
:
And
all
this
Isle
their
triumphs
now
expresse
,
Not
to
beget
,
but
shew
their
happinesse
:
A
precious
signe
,
they
know
their
owne
estate
,
And
that
makes
Nations
chiefly
fortunate
:
For
it
alike
should
often
valued
be
,
To
know
,
as
to
deserve
felicitie
.
The
third
song
.
(

You
just
,
and
carefull
Registers
of
houres
,
And
you
whose
sev'rall
ever
usefull
powers
,
Dispose
and
make
me
pleasing
whilst
I
sway
,
Produce
fantasticke
creatures
of
the
night
,
Though
not
t'
advance
,
yet
vary
their
delight
;
Perhaps
these
triumphs
may
defer
the
day
.
(

)
All
that
our
striving
mistery
presents
Will
be
but
foiles
to
nobler
ornaments
,
Yet
I
so
trust
the
causes
of
their
joy
,
And
am
so
envious
of
those
glistring
showes
The
Sunne
in
pride
,
not
favour
doth
disclose
,
That
I
would
lengthen
what
I
can't
destroy
.

as

dost
thou
hide
thy
head
(
Dull
sleepe
!
)
in
gloomy
shades
with
Poppy

If

Thou
dost

lay
them
by
for

releefe

And
art
at

a
profitable
theefe
;
Pay'st
Nature
double

thou
steal'st
from

Invoke

To

My

With

each

To

Ideas

Those

of

That

on
a
bright
Cloud
,
in
forme
of
a
beautifull
youth
naked
,
with
a
mantle
of
watchet
Cipresse
,
on
his
head
a
Star
.
On
the
other
side
of
the
Heaven
came
forth
Aurora
in
a
Chariot
touch'd
with
gold
,
borne
up
by
a
rosie
coloured
cloud
,
her
garment
white
trim'd
with
gold
,
loosely
tuck'd
about
her
,
and
cut
downe
on
the
sides
;
her
armes
bare
with
bracelets
of
gold
,
with
a
vaile
of
Carnation
flying
,
as
blowne
up
by
the
winde
,
her
wings
white
spotted
with
gold
,
her
faire
haire
disheveled
,
and
on
her
head
a
Girland
of
Roses
.
Hesperus
askes
Aurora
,
why
the
Sunne
is
so
long
in
comming
,
and
whether
being
weary
of
his
last
journey
,
he
is
gone
to
take
his
rest
.
Aurora
answers
,
that
her
brother
the
Sunne
hath
for
this
time
given
up
his
charge
of
lightning
this
Hemisphere
to
a
terrestriall
Beautie
,
in
whom
intellectuall
and
corporeall
brightnesse
are
joyn'd
,
and
therefore
bids
him
descend
and
summon
the
Arch-Flamines
and
Flamines
to
celebrate
with
divine
hymnes
:
this
Goddesse
of
brightnesse
with
those
faire
Nymphs
dependants
on
her
splendor
.
The
fifth
Song
.
Hesperus
,
Aurora
.
Hesperus
The
bright
perpetuall
Traveller
Doth
now
too
long
the
day
defer
,
Can
he
grow
old
,
Or
,
in
his
fierie
chariot
cold
,
Or
weary
cause
he
still
one
course
doth
runne
?
Aurora
Bold
Hesperus
thou
dost
mistake
the
Sunne
:
Though
's
journeyes
never
can
be
past
,
But
must
for
ever
last
,
Though
't
is
not
limited
how
far
,
Because
it
still
is
circular
,
Yet
sure
he
cannot
tire
,
Nor
mortally
wax
old
,
Nor
's
universall
beames
grow
cold
,
Since
fed
with
immateriall
fire
.
Hesperus
What
is
the
cause
he
then
so
long
doth
stay
?
Aurora
He
hath
resign'd
the
pow'r
of
making
day
Throughout
this
Hemispheare
,
To
a
terrestr'all
beautie
here
.
Hesperus
Now
I
perceive
why
Poets
call
him
wise
He
knowes
the
way
how
to
preserve
his
eyes
,
This
earthly
Star
(
long
since
the
boast
of
Fame
)
Is
both
become
his
envy
and
his
shame
.
Aurora
'T
is
true
,
should
he
appeare
,
he
were
undone
,
And
eclipsed
though
in
his
pride
of
noone
.
Hesperus
Yet
in
her
lookes
he
'le
least
of
danger
finde
,
She
darkens
those
with
beauties
of
her
minde
.
Aurora
If
thou
wilt
ever
shine
above
,
And
in
thy
Spheare
still
safely
move
,
Descend
,
and
summon
strait
Apollo's
Priests
that
wait
I'
th
garden
o'
th
Britanides
.
Hesperus
Enough
,
I
le
rowse
them
from
their
ease
,
That
they
with
Hymnes
may
celebrate
Her
vertues
ever
bless'd
estate
.
Both
Her
Nymphs
(
whose
beauties
can't
expire
,
)
'Cause
dayly
kindled
by
her
fire
,
Must
needs
be
ravish'd
with
those
layes
,
Since
as
their
owne
they
love
her
praise
.
The
Song
ended
,
the
morning
Starre
descends
singing
,
and
Aurora
passeth
through
the
Aire
:
As
he
descended
the
Chorus
of
Arch-Flamines
and
Flamines
of
the
Britainides
come
forth
,
they
were
habited
in
rich
habits
of
severall
colours
,
as
they
are
described
by
the
Ancients
.
Hesperus
leads
them
downe
into
the
roome
neere
to
the
State
.
The
sixth
Song
.
To
the
King
,
by
Hesperus
and
Chorus
of
Apolloes
Flamines
.
Wisely
did
Arts
great
Lord
That
rul'd
Mythologie
,
No
vest
for
Truth
afford
,
But
to
each
eye
Ordain'd
her
body
naked
still
,
to
show
Some
kind
of
truths
men
bashfully
should
know
;
Thy
praises
being
truths
are
silenc'd
so
.
(
2
)
Yet
mightie
spirits
raise
Their
actions
up
to
Fame
,
When
lifted
high
with
praise
:
Then
who
will
blame
Great
vertue
for
ambition
when
it
strives
To
feed
on
praise
(
the
food
by
which
it
thrives
?
)
Who
earn'st
,
yet
hat'st
,
himself
of
truth
deprives
.
Saraband
as
they
move
back
.
(

)
We
know
it
is
more
lawfull
farre
Than
possible
to
sing
your
praise
,
Who
shewes
how
gentle
,
wise
,
and
just
you
are
,
Must
trace
wide
measures
,
not
in
common
wayes
.
(

)
As
some
in
warre
neere
a
defeat
,
Confesse
betimes
th'
are
overcome
,
To
save
their
desp'rate
honors
by
retreat
;
so
wee
retire
,
lest
wonder
strike
us
dumb
.
After
this
song
they
returne
backe
in
a
measure
,
and
mount
the
degrees
,
and
stand
on
each
side
of
the
Sceane
.
The
seventh
Song
.
When
the
Queene
and
Masquers
appeare
.
1
How
dull
and
uneffectuall
is
that
rage
,
Which
swels
our
Poets
when
their
numbers
flow
?
Resembling
sillily
,
in
ev'ry
ago
,
Things
excellent
,
to
what
they
least
doe
know
.
2
How
poorely
have
they
done
,
when
they
compare
A
beauty
that
can
rule
severest
eyes
,
Vnto
some
pretty
twinckling
senslesse
Starre
?
Yet
thinke
they
mend
her
by
such
similies
.
3
If
it
be
safe
to
gaze
on
beauty
in
extremes
,
Look
there
,
correct
your
judgements
by
your
sight
!
Those
beauties
neare
her
,
are
made
up
of
beames
,
They
gather'd
from
her
uselesse
scatter'd
light
.
4
Now
judge
(
if
fairest
Starres
no
more
containe
Than
what
is
certaine
to
th'
Astrologer
)
Whether
compar'd
to
Starres
she
so
much
gaine
,
As
Starres
have
gotten
when
compar'd
to
her
?
Here
the
further
part
of
the
Garden
opened
,
and
the
Masquers
are
seene
,
the
Queenes
Majestie
being
seated
high
,
and
the
Ladies
somewhat
lower
on
two
degrees
,
the
figure
of
the
seat
was
halfe
an
Ovall
,
about
which
were
Termes
,
the
upper
parts
like
Cupids
,
and
the
under
part
enricht
with
leaves
.
At
the
two
ends
of
this
seat
were
figures
of
women
like
Syrens
converted
into
Foliage
and
Scrowles
,
all
which
seemed
to
be
enchased
of
Gold-smiths
worke
;
behinde
all
was
a
bright
skie
,
and
in
the
midst
about
the
Queenes
Majesties
seat
was
a
Glory
with
Rayes
,
expressing
her
to
be
the
Queene
of
Brightnesse
.
The
habit
of
the
Masquers
was
close
bodies
,
open
before
the
breasts
,
of
Aurora
colour
,
richly
embroidered
with
silver
,
about
the
waste
ran
a
short
Basis
,
cut
in
starre-like
beames
of
white
,
and
under
these
were
lower
labels
,
large
at
the
bottome
,
and
cut
in
a
Trefoile
,
tacked
together
with
small
twists
of
gold
,
the
ornament
at
the
shoulders
comming
down
to
the
bowing
of
the
arme
,
was
of
the
same
colour
and
forme
as
the
Basis
,
their
arming-sleeves
and
skirts
of
their
gownes
as
that
of
the
bodies
;
they
wore
well-proportioned
ruffes
,
and
on
their
haire
stood
a
small
bend
or
diadem
of
jewels
and
startes
betweene
,
which
in
the
hinder
part
had
a
scrowle
,
large
at
the
bottome
and
narrow
toward
the
top
,
to
which
their
fals
of
white
feathers
were
fastned
.
The
song
being
ended
,
the
Masquers
came
downe
from
their
seat
into
the
roome
and
made
their
entry
,
betwixt
this
and
the
second
dance
was
this
song
.
The
eighth
Song
.
After
the
first
Dance
.
1
Was
there
no
other
way
Our
wonder
to
allay
But
thus
to
falsifie
reliefe
?
For
seeing
quickly
tir'd
,
What
moving
we
admir'd
,
You
turne
our
wonder
into
griefe
.
2
Renew
your
measures
now
Though
but
awhile
,
to
show
This
respite
was
not
wearinesse
;
But
you
by
thee
did
please
To
give
our
pleasures
ease
,
Which
if
continu'd
,
had
growne
lesse
,
The
Masquers
dance
their
second
dance
,
which
ended
,
and
her
Majestie
seated
under
the
state
by
the
King
,
in
the
further
part
of
the
Scene
appeared
a
heaven
full
of
Deities
or
second
causes
,
with
instruments
and
voices
,
which
together
with
the
Muses
of
Great
Britaine
and
Chorus
of
Arch-Flamines
and
Flamines
sing
this
last
song
.
The
nineth
Song
.
To
the
King
and
Queene
.
1
You
that
are
chiefe
in
soules
,
as
in
your
bloud
,
And
nothing
better'd
by
your
high
descent
,
Ev'n
in
your
passions
as
in
reason
good
,
To
whom
vast
power
can
adde
no
ornament
.
2
Though
Men
the
blest
estate
of
Angels
praise
,
'Cause
not
perplex'd
with
what
we
sexes
call
;
Yet
you
by
such
a
humane
diff'rence
raise
Your
vertue
more
,
because
't
is
conjugall
.
3
Be
long
expected
in
your
Thrones
above
!
And
stay
on
earth
untill
our
judgements
know
The
noble
use
of
that
we
so
much
love
;
Thus
heaven
still
lends
what
we
would
ever
owe
.
After
this
song
,
the
upper
part
of
the
heaven
opened
,
and
a
bright
and
transparent
cloud
came
forth
farre
into
the
Scene
,
upon
which
were
many
Zephyri
and
gentle
breasts
with
rich
,
but
light
garments
tuck'd
about
their
wasts
,
and
falling
downe
about
their
knees
,
and
on
their
heads
girlands
of
flowers
:
These
to
the
Violins
began
a
sprightly
dance
,
first
with
single
passages
,
and
then
joyning
hands
in
rounds
severall
wayes
.
Which
Apparition
for
the
newnesse
of
the
Invention
,
greatnesse
of
the
Machine
,
and
difficulty
of
Engining
,
was
much
admir'd
,
being
a
thing
not
before
tempted
in
the
Aire
.
The
Masquers
dance
the
Revels
with
the
Lords
.
