THE MASQUES of KING EDWARD
AND THE. QUEEN PHILIPPA.

Salve festa dies, meliorque revertere scalper.— Ovid.
Thursdaye eve, yf that we may,
At VI of the belle, we gynne our play.
Old ilfystery of the " Ludus Coventrice."

The forthcoming Royal Masque, which this
evening will throw the Palace into sumptuous splen-
dour, has caused us to ransack the old chronicles of
the time of Edward the Third, and his charming
consort the Queen Philippa, to supply for the edifica-
tion of our readers an account of the Court Masques
which that Monarch and his Queen were fond of
holding in the bygone fourteenth century, and so to
furnish them with the means of drawing a contrast
with the noble Prince and Queen who now, in the
nineteenth, revive in their own persons, long-faded
remembrances of past history and its characters.
In the Wardrobe-rolls, then, of Edward 111., there
is an account of the dresses for furnishing the
masques of the King, which he held on Shrove
Sunday, and in which the Monarch himself-was the
chief actor. Whether Prince Albert, with his re-
tainers, will make as showy and merry a display is
yet to be learned ; and the folllowing is one of Icing
Edward's grand masques, " given in the Parliament
Chamber at Westminster," for " all the ambassadors
which were here out of diverse realms and countries,"
and which we present in modernized English for the
sake of our readers :

MACKINTOSHES SUPERSEDED.
TERDOE'S VENTILATING WATER-
PROOF FROCK.—This well-known and much-ap-
proved garment is the only substitute for the Mackintosh,
which effectually excludes the rain, without confining perspi-
ration. It is made of a woollen material, is light, gentlemanly,
and durable, and recommended, by those who have adopted it,
as the most convenient and valuable protection from the
weather ever invented. The best preof of this is the number
made during the four years it has been in use through such
recommendation. A great variety is kept ready made.

WALTER BERDOE, TAILOR, &c., 69, CORNHILL

KING EDWARD'S MASQUE AT WESTMINSTER.
In that Palace I saw appear,
A royal Prince who drew me near ;
Tall and straight, with tresses long,
That sunnily over his shoulders hung;
Pure his skin as the snow is white,
Him to behold I held delight,
His habit all angelic of hue,
And coloured like the sapphire blue.
Lyndesay's Poem of .‘ Monarchic," 1556.
At night (says Hall), after the banquet was
ended, a masque was presented to the ,guests, in the
following order. There came in a drum and a fife,
apparelled in white damask, having green bonnets and
hose of the same suit ; then certain gentlemen fol-
lowed, with torches, apparelled in blue damask, pur-
led with ames grey, fashioned like an alb, or white
ecclesiastical surplice, and on their heads hoods : with
robes, and long tippets to the same, of blue damask,
and in masques. And the KING'S DnEss (continues
our chronicler), came in with x certain number of
gentlemen, whereof the King appeared. the chief, ap-
parelled all in one suit of short garments, little be-
neath the points, of blue velvet arid crimson, with
long sleeves, all cut and lined with cloth of gold. And
the upper part of his garments were powdered with
castles and shafts of arrows of fine ducat gold ; the
upper parts also of his hose were of .like suit and
fashion ; the nether parts were of scarlet powdered
with timbrels of fine gold. lie had also on his head
a bonnet of damask silver flat, woven in the stole,
and thereupon wrought with gold and rich feathers in
them.

doctors of the refectory art have, we understand,
been at hard employ for preparation and banquet for
the last two months. The guests on this occasion may
be curious to know -what were the delicacies and what
the prices of the good things and acceptable which,
on occasion of the royal masques in King Edward's
time, were produced to satisfy the sweet lips of the
ladies, or the more capacious appetites of stalwart
lords and their stout retainers. A scarce MS. in the
Cotton Library, presents the very identical bill of fare.
The following are its contents, translated from the
old French :

" In the reign of King Edward the Third, the
poulterers were ordered to sell to the royal household
at these prices :—One of the best swans, 4s. ; the best
porcelle for Bd. ; the best ewe for Gd ; the best capon
for 6d. ; the best hen for 4d. ; the best pullet for 211. ;
the best poucyn for 2d ; the best corsynge (perhaps
coney) or a peel for 4d. ; the best teal 2d. ; the best
river mallard sd. ; the best mallard of the fyns, 3d.;
the best snype ld. ; four allowes Id.; the best wood-
cock 3d. ; the best partridge sd. ; the best plover 3d.;
thz., best pheasant ls. 4d. ; the best curbi 10d. ; 13 of
the best thrushes 6d ;112 eggs ld.; 12 small birds, Id."
Quails, rabbits, gallons of cream, gallons of curd,
hundreds of dishes of butter and biscuits, with saffron,
spice-bread, and a host of other dainties are elsewhere
priced and enumerated.

PHILIPPA AND HER LADIES,
Up, public joy, be gay
Some brave uncommon way;
Ring out with bell and steeple„;
With all the towns and people,
In mirth and holy-day:—
For see, our active King,
Hath taken twice the ring;
Our Queen in love and play,
Doth grace this crowned day;
And all the Court (loth measure,
Her joy in state and pleasure.
QUEEN PHILIPPA'S DRESS.
After these (continues the Chronicler) entered six
ladies, of whom the Queen Philippa, and the Lady
Mary, sister to the King, were chief, avd were all
dressed in different fashions.
TILE TWO FIRST LADIES.
Two were apparelled in crimson satin aid purple,
embroidered with gold, and by vignettes (sprigs or
branches), ran fleur-de-lys of gold, with marvellous
rich and strange tiers upon their heads.
TWO OTHER LADIES.
Other two ladies appeared in crimson and purple
made like long slops (a cassock for ladies and gen-
tlemen not open befOre) embroidered and fretted with
gold after the antique fashion ' • and over the slop was
a short garment of cloth of gold, scant to the knee,
fashioned like a tabard all over, with smt:ll double
rolls, all of flat gold, of damask fret and. fringed gold.
On their heads were scarfs and wraplers of damask
gold, with flat pipes—that (exclaims old Hall),
" strange it was to beholde."
TILE OTIIER Two.—The other two ladies were
in kirtles of crimson and purple satin, embroidered
with a vignette of pomegranates of gold ; all the gar-
ments cut compass-wise, having demi-sleeves, and
naked down from the elbows. Over their garments
were vochettes of pleasance (a species of gauze or lawn
imported from Lombardy), rolled with c:imson
velvet, and set with letters of gold, like characters ;
their heads were rolled in pleasants and tippets, like
the Egyptians, embroidered with gold; their faces,
necks, arms, and hands, covered in fine pleasance
black, some call it Lumberdines (lawn from Lom-
bardy), which is marvellously- thin.
" After the King's Grace, and the Queen Philippa
and her ladies, had daunsed a time, they departed
every one to his lodging."
KING EDWARD'S MASQUE AT GREEN-
WICH.
Stay, my sweet singer,
One touch of thy finger
A little, and linger ;
For these are the sorts
That love the true sports
Of Prince Ptolemreus
Our bright Coryphams.
In the third year of his reign, the same monerch
appointed a grand masque at Greenwich, and in the
Hall there was represented a castle called La For-
tresse Dant/ereux. It was acted after this manner :--
Six ladies looked out of the windows, clothed in
richest russet satin, laid all over with leaves of gold,
and every ownde (this ownde was work waving up
and down) Was, knit with laces of blue silk and gold.
Upon their heads they had coif's and caps all of gold.
After this pageant. had been drawn about the Hall,
that the Queen Philippa and all the nobility might
survey. it, King Edward. entered, accompanied by
five knights, apparelledin coats, the one half being of:
russet satin, spangled,with spangles of fine gold., the
other half of rich cloth of gold ; they had caps upon
their heads, also of russet satin, embroidered with
works of fine gold bullion. The Castle upon this was
stormed, and after a vigorous resistance, carried by
the reiterated efforts of these intrepid warriors, who,
having obtained access to the ladies, brought them
all with the Queen down into the Hall, where they
danced together a considerable time, and then departed.
See, here are ten
The spirits of courts, and flower of men,
Led by a Prince, with flam'd intents
To figure the ten ornaments,
That do the courtly palace grace.
Ben Jonson's " Vision of Delight."
OTHER DRESSES OF KING EDWARD'S
MASQUES, OR LUDI.
The following is a bill preserved, or an order for
dresses, "ad faciendum Judos domini regis, ad festum
natalis domini, celebratos apud Guldeford"—for fur-
nishing the masques or mummings of the King, held
at the castle of Guildford, at the feast of Christmas. In
these ludi, says the record, were expended 80 tunics of
buckram of various colours, 42 visors of various simi-
litudes ; that is, 14 of the faces of women, 14 of the
faces of men with beards, 14 of the heads of angels,
made with silver ; 28 crests ; 14 mantles embroidered
with heads of dragons ; 14 white tunics wrought with
heads and wings of peacocks ; 14 of swans with
wings ; 14 tunics painted with eyes of peacocks ; 14
tunics of English linen painted ; and as many tunics
embroidered with stars of gold and silver.
ANOTHER COSTUME OF KING EDWARD.

SAIET IC S.—Too much caution cannot be
used by Ladies in the adoption of these aids to beauty,
many of them bein.; very injurious in their ultimate effects.
To point out an innocent and efficacious one, is therefore to
render an acceptable service to the fair sex. GODFREY'S
EXTRACT OF ELDER FLOWERS has acquired great
celebrity, as well for its efficacy as for pleasure in its applica-
tion. It communicates a refreshing coolness and softness to
the skin, and completely removes Tan, Pimples, and Cutaneous
Eruptions, giving to the Complexion a clear and healthful
appearance not to be otherwise obtained.

INKSTANDS.—Great improvement has recently been made in
the manufacture of the DJUBLE PATENT PERRYI AN FILTER
INKSTAND. The Patentees can with confidence recommend it as
complete for general use, combined with elegance, and simplicity in
its action. J P. and Co. take this opportunity to announce. that
they will repair any of their Inkstands, without charge, or, if pre-
ferred, will apply the present improved principle to any of their pre-
ceding sorts, at Is. fid. each.

TESTIMONIALS:
It preserves the ink in great perfection—it prevents evaporation—
excludes all kind of dust or dirt and at any moment gives the writer
a supply of clear filtered ink.—Courier.
It possesses the advantage, from being air.tight, of preserving ink
for almost any period of time.—Times.
One of the most useful inventions of the present day that has come
under our observation —Morning Herald.
We have tested the Perryian Inkstand, and have every reason to
be perfectly satisfied with the trial —Atlas.
It is really most ingenious, and not in the slightest degree liable to
get out of order. —John Bull.
Very ingeniously constructed to keep the surface of the ink at a
uniform level, where it is preiented to the dip of the pen. Mornicg
Post.
The Inventors of the Perryian Inkstand have completely remedie
the annoying defect of common inkstands.—Chambet S'6 Journal.
An invention truly mechznic4l and ingenious, purifying the ink
through a filter, in qu ,ntities sufficient to serve for immediate and
continued use.—Standard.
This inkstand we Inn safely affirm to be the best that ever came
under our notice ; it has accomplished the desideratum of preserving
the fluidity of the ink, preserving the evaporation, and keeping it
free from dust —Morning Advertiser.

MIRACULOUS CURE from the use of
PARR'S LIFE PILLS.
Copy of letter just received by the Proprietors, from Mr. William
Moat, :1:3, Edward.strect, Oldham-road, Manchester :
oentlemen,-1 have the utmost pleasure in forwarding you this
my own case of cure, effected solely by the persevering use of your
Parr's Life Pills. Before having recourse to them, I had been for
upwards of five years afflicted with a most distressing malady, which
the diffe ent eminent medical men who attended me all pronounced
to be a serious case of hydrocele (or dropsy of the scrotum), and de-
clared there wits no other chance of either relief or cure than under.
going a surgical operation. I was thus driven almost to despair ; and
consulted the treatise written by Sir Astley Cooper, wherein he states
that that the operation is gcnerelly attended with considerable danger.
I therefore determined not to Fisk so painful and uncertain an exi e-
riment, but rather chose to leave the result to nature and l'rovi-
dence. Fortunately, I heard of the great fame of P rr's Pills, and
resolved to give them a fair trial. I consequently took them for some
time without perceiving any benefit, but still kept persevering ; and
~
I have now taken twelve boxes, aria to my great joy I am perfectly
wed, the dropsy is entirely removed, together with a scorbutic affet,
ties, which I had been much troubled with since my return from
India in 11827; and now there is not a vestige of *lisease left in my
whole system, as 1 am now in better health and spirits than I have
been for fourteen years. 1 feel certain you would have accounts of
far more cures, if people would persevere in the use of the pills a pro.
per length of time, as 1 have done I give you my heartfelt thanks,
and authority to publish this letter, and will gladly answer any ap-
pile itions, either personally, or by letter, and will remain your grate-
ful and obliged servant, (Signed) WM. MOAT.

Scarlet Fever. —Thomas Ward's two children (the father is
a joiner, residing in Castle-street, Exeter), one aged ten, the
other eight years, have both had the scarlet fever, during which
time and after, no medicine was administered to them hut Mo-
rison's Pills, and they did well.
Abdominal Dropsy.—James Aunger's child, aged six years,
)the father is a tailor residing in Exeter), cured of abdominal
dropsy. accompanied with cedematus swelling to a frightful de-
gree, which extended all over the child ; and the head and face
were so much swollen that for many days it could not see the
light. It came on after scarlet fever, during which the child
took no medicine but Morison's Pills, and it got well. As soon
as the dropsy came on the pills were persevered with night and
morning, for the space of three weeks, at the exoiration of which
time a perfect cure was effected. The neighbours seeing the
weeks'
and three months, cured of
child in such a frightful state, said the parents were killing it,
s three children, of Duns-
but they found out their mistake on the child's recovery.

nothing whatever was administered but Morison's Pills, and

Hip Complaint—Mr. Quick's son, aged nineteen years, of
Summerland-street, Exeter, cured of a hip complaint, after
having been under the treatment of Mr. Kingdon, surgeon, of
Exeter, besides various other medical men of that city, who all
did their best to cure him, but failed. A few months' perse-
verance with Morison's Pills perfectly set him to rights, and
he has had no return of it since, two years having now elapsed.

In the first part of the historical play of King
Edward, by T. Heywood, Hobbs, the tanner, inquires
" Who is he in the long beard, and the red petticoat ?
I misdoubt Ned, that it is the King : I know it by
Lord What-ye-call's players." The King replies,
" How by them, tanner ?" Hobbs answers, " Ever
when they play a masque or an enterloute at Tate
worth, the King is alwaies in a long beard and a red
gowne like him." The King returns answer, " No,
tanner ; this is not the King ; this man is the Lord
Mayor of London."
Edward the Third is noted by the old chroniclers
as being the first of our English Monarchs (Rymer's
Fcedera, torn. v.) who encouraged the clothiers, and
enacted new sumptuary laws. So early as the fifth
year of his reign, John Kempe, a Flemish woollen
manufacturer of great repute, came into this country
with his workmen and apprentices, and the reception
he met with from the 'King was so favourable, that in
the same year, no fewer than seventy families of the
Walloons followed his example, and were followed by
crowds of others. The magnificent cloth of ray was
brought to perfection in his time.
