Excerpt from The Masque of the Muses Come, tuneful Nine from old Olympus come Abide with us, and make our house your home. Hark epic strains - heroic minstrelsy A song of valor's deeds, and victory All welcome, silver-toned Calliope. Terpsichore trips, smiling, graceful, fair, Bounding away from load of cast-off care, And flinging blooms of beauty in the air.

Excerpt from Tales of the Masque But not all the crows have a cinder for a heart: here and there one has a heart indeed. And one day such an one loved a man, and loved him faithfully. But the man was so steeped in sins that his soul, when it went to judgment, was as black as the feathers of its one sole friend: and no other portion could be granted to it but hell.

The English court masque was one of the most extravagant and spectacular forms of entertainment ever produced, the most important period being between 1600 and 1640 when the writers included some of the best-known poets and dramatists of the age. This volume, first published in 1967, was the first selection of masques to be published in England in the twentieth century. It consists of fourteen masques, each specially edited with an introduction and commentary by a different scholar, including Ben Jonson, James Shirley, Samuel Daniel, Thomas Campion, Francis Beaumont, William Browne, Thomas Middleton, Thomas Nabbes and William Davenant. Professor Gerald Eades Bentley examines the masque as Jonson conceived it and the clash that took place between Jonson and his collaborator as designer, Inigo Jones. There is also a final essay on the influence of the masque on the drama of the period. A group of 48 plates has been prepared many of them reproducing designs by Inigo Jones.
Excerpt from The Garden of Many Waters: A MasqueStage: Lower stage - some two feet high, three or four feet deep, and twenty feet or more wide. Upper stage - one or two steps higher, and about four teen feet deep. Of this depth, about three feet are screened of along the whole width of stage by curtains which draw to either side by in visible cords over pulleys, leaving a central gap of some six or seven feet, to discover the closing picture. These curtains are also so hung as to divide in two other places, and to allow entrance from the back on to the upper stage - about three feet of the end on either side.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
