IN
the
border
that
enclosed
the
Sceans
and
made
a
frontispice
to
all
the
worke
,
in
a
square
Neech
on
the
right
hand
stood
two
figures
of
women
,
one
of
them
expressing
much
majesty
in
her
aspect
,
apparelled
in
sky
colour
with
a
crowne
of
gold
on
her
head
,
and
a
bridle
in
her
hand
,
representing
Reason
:
the
other
embracing
her
was
in
changeable
silke
with
wings
at
her
shoulders
,
figured
for
intellectuall
Appetite
,
who
while
she
imbraceth
Reason
,
all
the
actions
of
men
are
rightly
governed
.
Above
these
in
a
second
order
,
were
winged
children
,
one
riding
on
a
furious
Lion
,
which
hee
seemes
to
tame
with
reynes
and
a
bit
:
Another
bearing
an
Antique
ensigne
:
the
third
hovering
above
with
a
branch
of
Palme
in
his
hand
,
expressing
the
victory
over
the
Perturbations
.
In
a
Neech
on
the
other
side
stood
two
figures
joyning
hands
,
one
a
grave
old
man
in
a
robe
of
purple
,
with
a
heart
of
gold
in
a
chayne
about
his
necke
,
figured
for
Counsell
;
the
other
a
woman
,
in
a
garment
of
cloth
of
gold
,
in
her
hand
a
sword
with
a
serpent
winding
about
the
blade
,
representing
Resolution
,
both
these
being
necessary
to
the
good
meanes
of
arriving
to
a
vertuous
end
.
Over
these
and
answering
to
the
other
side
was
a
round
Altar
raysed
high
,
and
on
it
the
bird
of
Pallas
,
figured
for
Prudence
:
on
eyther
side
were
children
with
wings
,
one
in
act
of
Adoration
,
another
holding
a
booke
,
and
a
third
flying
over
their
heads
with
a
lighted
Torch
in
his
hand
,
representing
the
intellectuall
light
accompanied
with
Doctrine
and
Discipline
,
and
alluding
to
the
figures
below
,
as
those
on
the
other
side
.
Above
these
ran
a
large
Freese
,
with
a
Cornicement
:
in
the
midst
wherof
was
a
double
Compartiment
rich
and
full
of
ornament
:
on
the
top
of
this
sate
Fame
with
spreaded
wings
,
in
act
,
sounding
a
Trumpet
of
gold
:
joyning
to
the
Compartiment
in
various
postures
lay
two
Figures
in
their
naturall
colours
as
big
as
the
life
;
one
holding
an
Anchor
representing
safety
;
the
other
expressing
Riches
,
with
a
Cornu-copia
;
and
about
her
stood
Antique
vases
of
gold
.
The
rest
of
this
Freese
was
composed
of
Children
,
with
significant
signes
to
expresse
their
severall
qualities
;
Forgetfulnesse
of
injuries
,
extinguishing
a
flaming
torch
on
an
Armor
;
Commerce
,
with
eares
of
Corne
;
Felicity
,
with
a
basket
of
Lillies
;
Affection
to
the
Countrey
,
holding
a
Grashopper
;
Prosperous
successe
,
with
the
Rudder
of
a
Ship
;
Innocence
,
with
a
branch
of

:
All
these
expressing
the
severall
goods
,
followers
of
peace
and
Concord
,
and
fore-runners
of
humane
felicity
:
so
as
the
worke
of
this
Front
consisting
of
Picture
qualified
with
morall
Philosophy
,
temper'd
delight
with
profit
.
In
the
midst
of
the
aforesaid
Compartiment
in
an
Ovall
Table
was
written
.
SALMACIDA
SPOLIA
.
The
Ancient
Adagies
are
these
.
Salmacida
Spolia
sine
sanguine
sine
sudore
,
potius
quam
.
Cadmia
victoria
,
ubi
ipsos
victores
pernicies
opprimit
.
But
before
I
proceed
in
the
descriptions
of
the
Sceanes
,
it
is
not
amisse
briefly
to
set
downe
the
Histories
from
whence
these
Proverbs
tooke
their
originall
.
For
the
first
Melas
and
Arevanias
of
Argos
,
and
Troezen
conducted
a
common
Colony
to
Habicarnassus
in
Asia
,
and
there
drave
out
the
barbarous
Carie
and
Lelegi
,
who
fled
up
to
the
Mountaines
;
from
whence
they
made
many
incursions
,
robbing
and
cruelly
spoyling
the
Grecian
Inhabitants
,
which
could
by
no
meanes
be
prevented
.
On
the
top
of
the
right
horne
of
the
hill
which
surrounds
Halicarnassus
,
in
forme
of
a
Theater
,
is
a
famous
Fountaine
of
most
cleare
water
,
and
exquisite
taste
called
Salmacis
:
It
happened
that
neere
to
this
Fountaine
one
of
the
Colony
(
to
make
gaine
by
the
goodnesse
of
the
water
)
set
up
a
Taverne
,
and
furnish'd
it
with
all
necessaries
,
to
which
the
Barbarians
resorting
(
entised
by
the
delicious
taste
of
this
water
,
at
first
some
few
,
and
after
many
together
in
troops
,
)
of
fierce
and
cruell
natures
,
were
reduced
of
their
owne
accord
to
the
sweetnesse
of
the
Grecian
customes
.
The
other
Adage
is
thus
derived
.
The
Citie
of
Thebes
,
anciently
called
Cadmia
,
had
warre
with
Adrastus
,
the
Argive
King
,
who
raised
a
great
Army
of
Arcadians
and
Missenians
,
and
fought
a
battaile
with
them
neere
Ismenia
,
where
the
Thebans
were
overthrowne
,
turned
their
backs
,
and
fled
into
their
City
;
the
Peloponnesians
(
not
accustomed
to
skale
walled
Townes
)
assaulting
furiously
,
but
without
order
,
were
repulst
from
the
walls
by
the
defendants
,
and
may
of
the
Argives
slaine
:
at
that
instant
the
besieged
making
a
great
sally
,
and
finding
the
enemy
in
disorder
and
confusion
,
cut
them
all
in
pieces
,
onely
Adrastus
excepted
,
who
was
saved
by
flight
:
but
this
victory
was
gotten
with
great
damage
and
slaughter
of
the
Thebans
,
for
few
of
them
returned
alive
into
their
City
.
The
allusion
is
,
That
his
Majesty
out
of
his
mercy
and
clemency
approoving
the
first
Proverbe
,
seekes
by
all
meanes
to
reduce
tempestuous
and
turbulent
natures
into
a
sweet
calme
of
Civill
concord
.
A
Curtayne
flying
up
,
a
horrid
Sceane
appeared
of
storme
and
tempest
:
no
glimpse
of
the
Sun
was
seene
,
as
if
darkenesse
,
confusion
,
and
deformity
,
had
possest
the
world
,
and
driven
light
to
Heaven
,
the
trees
bending
,
as
forced
by
a
gust
of
winde
,
their
branches
rent
from
their
trunkes
,
and
some
torne
up
by
the
roots
:
a farre
off
was
a
darke
wrought
sea
,
with
rowling
billowes
,
breaking
against
the
rockes
,
with
rayne
,
lightning
and
thunder
:
in
the
midst
was
a
globe
of
the
Earth
,
which
at
an
instant
falling
on
fire
,
was
turned
into
a
Fury
,
her
hayre
upright
,
mixt
with
snakes
,
her
body
leane
wrinkled
and
of
a
swarthy
colour
,
her
breasts
hung
bagging
downe
to
her
waste
,
to
which
with
a
knot
of
serpents
was
girt
red
bases
,
and
under
it
tawny
skirts
downe
to
her
feet
:
in
her
hand
she
brandisht
a
sable
Torch
,
and
looking
aScanse
with
hollow
envious
eyes
came
downe
into
the
Roome
.
FVRIE

BLow

untill
you
raise
the
Seas
so
high
,
That

may
hang

Teares

That

in

Breake

How

Be

Grow

For
thy
long

But

on
Felicitie
:
And
I
to
stir
the
humors
that
increase
In
thy
full
Body
(
over-growne
with

)
Will
call

Ascend

Ascend

sullen

Of

The

make
only
wiser
,
to
suspect
Whom
they
have
wrong'd
by
falshood
,
or
neglect
;
The
Rich
,
make
full
of
avarice
as
pride
,
Like
Graves
,
or
swallowing
Seas
,
unsatisfi'd
;
Busie
to
help
the
State
(
when
needy
growne
)
From
poore
mens

,
never
from
their
owne

The
Poore

,
apt
to
obey
The
False
in
hope
to
rule
whom
they
betray
:
And
make
Religion
to
become

Nam'd

to

ambitious
Avarice

This
Antimasque
being
past
,
the
Sceane
changed
into
a
calme
,
the
skie
serene
,
a farre
off
Zephyrus
appeared
breathing
a
gentle
gale
:
in
the
Landskip
were
Corne
fields
and
pleasant
Trees
,
sustayning
Vines
fraught
with
grapes
,
and
in
some
of
the
furthest
parts
Villages
,
with
all
such
things
as
might
expresse
a
Country
in
peace
,
rich
,
and
fruitfull
.
There
came
breaking
out
of
the
Heavens
a
silver
Chariot
,
in
which
sate
two
persons
,
the
one
a
woman
in
a
watchet
garment
,
her
dressing
of
silver
mixt
with
bulrushes
,
representing
Concord
:
somewhat
below
her
sate
the
good
Genius
of
Great
Britaine
,
a
yong
man
in
a
carnation
garment
,
embroidered
all
with
flowers
,
an
Anticke
sword
hung
in
a
skarfe
,
a
garland
on
his
head
,
and
in
his
hand
a
branch
of
Platan
mixt
with
eares
of
corn
:
these
in
their
dissent
sung

Yet
t
is
his
fate
,
to
rule
in
adverse
times
,
When
wisedome

awhile
give
place
to
crimes
.
Being
arrived
at
the
Earth
,
and
descended
from
the
Chariot
,
they
sing
this
short
Dialogue
,
and
then
departed
severall
wayes
to
incite
the
beloved
people
to
honest
pleasures
and
recreations
which
have
ever
beene
peculiar
to
this
Nation

To

All
which
Antimasques
were
well
set
out
and
excellently
danced
,
and
the
tunes
fitted
to
the
persons
.
The
Antimasques
being
past
,
all
the
Sceane
was
changed
into
craggy
rockes
and
inaccessible
mountaynes
,
in
the
upper
parts
where
any
earth
could
fasten
,
were
some
trees
,
but
of
strange
formes
,
such
as
only
grow
in
remote
parts
of
the
Alpes
,
and
in
desolate
places
;
the
furthest
of
these
was
hollow
in
the
middest
,
and
seemed
to
be
cut
through
by
art
,
as
the
Pausilipo
neer
Naples
,
&
so
high
as
the
top
pierced
the
clouds
,
all
which
represented
the
difficult
way
which
Heroes
are
to
passe
ere
they
come
to
the
Throne
of
Honour
.
The
Chorus
of
the
beloved
people
came
forth
(
led
by
Concord
&
the
good
Genius
of
Great
Britaine
,
)
their
habits
being
various
and
rich
,
they
goe
up
to
the
State
and
sing
.
II.
Song
.
To
the
Queene
Mother
.
1
WHen
with
instructed
eies
,
we
looke
upon
Our
blessings
that
discend
so
fast
,
From
the
faire
Partner
of
our
Monarchs
Throne
,
We
grieve
,
they
are
too
great
to
last
.
2
But
when
those
groweing
comforts
we
survay
,
By
whom
our
hopes
are
longer
liv'd
,
Then
gladly
we
our
vows
,
and
prayses
pay
To
her
,
from
whom
they
are
deriv'd
.
3
And
since
(
great
Queene
)
shee
is
deriv'd
from
you
;
We
heere
beginne
our
offerings
,
For
those
who
sacrific'd
to
Rivers
,
knew
,
Their
first
rights
due
,
unto
their
Springs
.
4
The
Streame
,
from
whence
our
blessings
flow
,
you
bred
;
You
in
whose
bosome
,
e'ven
the
chife
,
and
best
Of
Moderne
Victors
lay'd
his
weary
head
,
when
he
rewarded
Victorys
with
rest
.
Your
Beauty
kept
his
vallor's
flame
alive
;
Your
Tuscane
wisedome
taught
it
how
to
thrive
.
Inviting
the
Kings
appearance
in
the
Throne
of
Honor
.
To
be
printed
,
not
sung
.
WHy
are
our
joyes
detain'd
by
this
delay
?
Vnlesse
(
as
in
a
morning
Overcast
)
We
finde
it
long
,
ere
we
can
finde
out
day
;
So
whilst
our
hopes
increase
,
our
time
doth
waste
.
Or
are
you
slow
'cause
th'
way
to
Honor's
Throne
(
In
which
you
travaile
now
)
is
so
uneven
,
Hilly
,
and
craggy
,
or
as
much
unknowne
,
As
that
uncertaine
path
which
leads
to
Heaven
?
O
that
Philosophers
(
who
through
those
mists
Low
nature
casts
,
doe
upper
knowledge
spie
)
Or
those
that
smile
at
them
(
o're-weening
Priests
)
Could
with
such
sure
such
an
undoubted
eye
,
Reach
distant
Heaven
,
as
you
can
Honors
'
Throne
,
Then
we
should
shift
our
flesh
t'
inhabite
there
,
Where
we
are
taught
,
the
Heroes
are
gone
;
Though
now
content
with
Earth
,
'cause
you
are
heere
.
The
song
ended
they
returne
up
to
the
Stage
,
and
divide
themselves
on
each
side
;
then
the
further
part
of
the
Sceane
disappeard
,
and
the
Kings
Majesty
and
the
rest
of
the
Masquers
were
discovered
,
sitting
in
the
Throne
of
Honour
,
his
Majesty
highest
in
a
seat
of
Gold
,
and
the
rest
of
the
Lords
about
him
:
this
Throne
was
adorned
with
Palme
trees
,
betweene
which
stood
statues
of
the
ancient
Heroes
:
in
the
under
parts
on
each
side
lay
captives
bound
in
severall
postures
,
lying
on
trophees
of
armours
,
shields
,
and
Antique
weapons
,
all
his
Throne
being
fayned
of
Goldsmiths
worke
.
The
habit
of
his
Majesty
and
the
Masquers
was
of
watchet
,
richly
embroydered
with
silver
,
long
stockins
set
up
of
white
:
Their
caps
silver
with
scrowles
of
gold
,
and
plumes
of
white
feathers
.

Song

To
the
King
,
when
he
appeares
,
with
his
Lords
in
the
Throne
of
Honor
.
1
THose
quar'ling
winds
(
that
deafned
unto
death
The
living
,
and
did
wake
men
dead
before
)
Seeme
now
to
pant
small
gusts
,
as
out
of
breath
,
And
flie
,
to
reconcile
themselves
on
shore
.
2
If
it
be
Kingly
patience
to
out
last
Those
stormes
the
peoples
giddy
fury
rayse
,
Till
like
,
fantastick
windes
themselves
they
waste
,
The
wisedome
of
that
patience
is
thy
prayse
.

Murmur
's
a
sicknesse
epidemicall
;
'T
is
catching
,
and
infects
weake
common
eares
;
For
through
those
crooked
,
narrow
Alleys
,
all
Invaded
are
,
and
kil'd
by
Whisperers
.
4
This
you
discern'd
,
and
by
your
mercy
taught
,
Would
not
(
like
Monarchs
that
severe
have
bin
)
Invent
,
Imperiall
Arts
,
to
question
thought
;
Nor
punish
vulgar
sicknesse
as
a
sin
.
5
Nor
would
your
valour
,
(
when
it
might
subdue
)
Be
hinder'd
of
the
pleasure
to
forgive
;
Th'
are
worse
than
overcome
(
your
wisedome
knew
)
That
needed
mercy
to
have
leave
to
live
.
6
Since
strength
of
virtues
,
gain'd
you
Honours
throne
;
Accept
our
wonder
,
and
enjoy
your
praise
!
Hee
's
fit
to
governe
there
,
and
rule
alone
,
Whom
inward
helps
,
not
outward
force
doth
raise
.
Whil'st
the
Chorus
sung
this
Song
,
there
came
softly
from
the
upper
part
of
the
Heavens
,
a
huge
cloud
of
various
colours
,
but
pleasant
to
the
sight
;
which
discending
to
the
midst
of
the
Sceane
open'd
,
and
within
it
was
a
transparent
brightnes
of
thin
exhalations
,
such
as
the
Gods
are
feigned
to
descend
in
:
in
the
most
eminent
place
of
which
,
her
Majesty
sate
,
representing
the
chiefe
Heroin
,
environed
with
her
martiall
Ladies
;
and
from
over
her
head
were
darted
lightsome
Rayes
that
illuminated
her
seat
,
and
all
the
Ladies
about
her
participated
more
or
lesse
of
that
light
,
as
they
sate
neere
or
further
off
:
this
brightnesse
with
many
streakes
of
thin
vapours
about
it
,
such
as
are
seene
in
a
fayre
evening
skie
softly
discended
:
and
as
it
came
neere
to
the
Earth
,
the
seat
of
Honour
by
little
and
little
vanished
,
as
if
it
gave
way
to
these
Heavenly
Graces
.
The
Queenes
Majesty
and
her
Ladies
were
in
Amazonian
habits
of
carnation
,
embroidered
with
silver
,
with
plumed
Helmes
,
Bandrickes
with
Antique
swords
hanging
by
their
sides
,
all
as
rich
as
might
be
,
but
the
strangenes
of
the
Habits
was
most
admired
.
IIII.
Song
.
When
the
Queene
and
her
Ladies
descended
.
1
YOu
that
so
wisely
studious
are
,
To
measure
,
and
to
trace
each
Starr
,
How
swift
they
travaile
,
and
how
farr
,
Now
number
your
celestiall
store
,
Planets
,
or
lesser
lights
,
and
trie
,
If
in
the
face
of
all
the
skie
,
You
count
so
many
as
before
?
2
If
you
would
practise
how
to
know
The
chiefe
for
influence
,
or
show
;
Levell
your
perspectives
below
!
For
in
this
neather
Orb
they
move
!
Each
here
(
when
lost
in
's
doubtfull
Art
)
May
by
his
Eyes
,
advance
his
Heart
,
And
through
his
Opticke
learne
to
love
!
3
But
what
is
she
that
rules
the
night
?
That
kindles
Ladies
with
her
light
,
And
gives
to
Men
the
power
of
sight
?
All
those
who
can
her
virtue
doubt
,
Her
Minde
,
will
in
her
face
advise
,
For
through
the
Casements
of
her
Eyes
,
Her
Soule
is
ever
looking
out
.
4
And
with
its
beames
,
she
doth
survay
Our
growth
in
Virtue
or
decay
;
Still
lighting
us
in
Honours
way
!
All
that
are
good
,
she
did
inspire
!
Lovers
are
chaste
,
because
they
know
It
is
her
will
,
they
should
be
so
;
The
valiant
take
from
her
their
Fire
!
When
this
heavenly
seat
touched
the
Earth
,
the
Kings
Majesty
tooke
out
the
Queene
,
and
the
Lords
the
Ladies
,
and
came
downe
into
the
Roome
,
and
danc't
their
entry
,
betwixt
which
and
the
second
dance
was
this
song
.
V.
Song
.
After
the
First
Dance
.
1
WHy
stand
you
still
,
and
at
these
Beauties
gaze
,
As
if
you
were
afraid
,
Or
they
were
made
,
Much
more
for
wonder
than
delight
?
Sure
those
whom
first
their
virtue
did
amaze
,
Their
feature
must
at
last
invite
.
2
Time
never
knew
,
the
mischiefs
of
his
haste
!
Nor
can
you
force
him
stay
To
keepe
off
day
:
Make
then
fit
use
of
Tiumphs
heere
;
It
were
a
crime
'gainst
pleasant
youth
,
to
waste
This
night
,
in
overcivill
feare
.
3
Move
then
like
Time
,
for
Love
(
as
well
as
he
)
Hath
got
a
Kalender
,
Where
must
appeare
,
How
evenly
you
these
measures
tred
;
And
when
they
end
,
we
far
more
griev'd
shall
be
,
Than
for
his
Howers
when
they
are
fled
.
The
second
Dance
ended
,
and
their
Majesties
being
seated
under
the
State
,
the
Sceane
was
changed
into
magnificent
buildings
composed
of
severall
selected
peeces
of
Architecture
:
in
the
furthest
part
was
a
Bridge
over
a
River
,
where
many
people
,
coaches
,
horses
,
and
such
like
were
seene
to
passe
to
and
fro
:
beyond
this
on
the
shore
were
buildings
in
Prospective
,
which
shooting
far
from
the
eye
shewed
as
the
suburbs
of
a
great
City
.
From
the
highest
part
of
the
Heavens
came
forth
a
cloud
far
in
the
Sceane
,
in
which
were
eight
persons
richly
attired
representing
the
spheares
;
this
joyning
with
two
other
clouds
which
appeard
at
that
instant
full
of
Musicke
covered
all
the
upper
part
of
the
Sceane
,
and
at
that
instant
beyond
all
these
,
a
Heaven
opened
full
of
Deities
,
which
celestiall
Prospect
with
the
Chorus
below
filled
all
the
whole
Sceane
with
apparitions
and
harmony
.
VI
Song
.
To
the
King
and
Queene
,
by
a
Chorus
of
all
.
SO
musicall
as
to
all
Eares
,
Doth
seeme
the
musick
of
the
Sphears
,
Are
you
,
unto
each
other
still
;
Tuning
your
thoughts
to
eithers
will
.
All
that
are
harsh
,
all
that
are
rude
,
Are
by
your
harmony
subdu'd
;
Yet
so
,
into
obedience
wrought
,
As
if
not
forc'd
to
it
,
but
taught
.
Live
still
,
the
pleasure
of
our
sight
;
Both
our
examples
and
delight
.
So
long
,
untill
you
finde
,
the
good
successe
Of
all
your
virtues
,
in
one
happinesse
.
Till
we
so
kinde
,
so
wise
,
and
carefull
be
,
In
the
behalfe
of
our
Posteritie
,
That
we
may
wish
your
Scepters
ruling
heere
,
(
Lov'd
even
by
those
,
who
should
your
justice
feare
)
When
we
are
gone
,
when
to
our
last
remove
We
are
dispatch'd
,
to
sing
your
prayse
above
.
After
this
song
the
Spheares
past
through
the
Ayre
,
and
all
the
Deities
ascended
,
and
so
concluded
this
Masque
:
which
was
generally
approoved
of
,
especially
by
all
Strangers
that
were
present
,
to
be
the
noblest
and
most
ingenuous
that
hath
been
done
heere
in
that
kinde
.
The
Invention
,
Ornament
,
Sceans
and
Apparitions

with
their
Descriptions
