'THE MASQUES Of -KING EDWARD-
! AND 'THAL QUEEN PHILIPPA.
Salve 'testa dies, meliorque reverters semper.— Ovid.
Thursdaye eve, yf that we may,
At VI of the belle, we gynne our play.
Old Mystery qf the " Ludus Goventrice."
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 eharatters
In the Wardrobe-rolls, then, of Edward III.; there
is an account of the dresses for furnithing 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 n display is
et to be learned ; and the following is one of King
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 cur readers :
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 a hue,
And coloured like the sapphire blue.
Lyndesay's Poem of " M'onarchie," 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'darnask, 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 DRESS (continues
our chronicler); came in with a certain number of
gentlemen, whereof the King appeared the chief, ap-
parellediall in one suit of short garments, little be-
neath the points, of blue velvet and 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. He 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.

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-clay:—
For see, our active King,
Math taken twice the fine.;
Our Queen in love and play,
Doth grace this crowned day;
And all the Court cloth measure,
Her joy in state and pleasure.
QUEEN PHILIPPA'S DRESS.

After these (eontinues the -Chronicler) entered six
ladies, of whom the Queen Philippa, and the Lady
Mary, sister to the King, were chief, and were all
dressed in different fashions.
• THE TWO FIRST LADIES.

Two were apparelled in crimson satin and 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) embroideyed and fretted with
gold after the antique fashion ; and over the slop was
a short garment of eloth of gold, scant to the knee,
fashioned like a tabard all over, with small double
rolls, all of flat-gold, of damask fret and. fringed gold.
On their heads were. scarfs and wrappers of damask
gold, with flat pipes-Lthat (exclaims old Hall),
" strange it was to beholde."
THE OTHER 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 ofgauze or lawn
imported from ,Lombardy), rolled with_ crimson
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 marvelously thin.
44 After the King's Grace, and . the Queen Philippa
and her. ladies, had daynsed a time,
.they departed
every one to his lodging."
'KING EDWARD'S .MASQUE AT GREEN-

• • •WICIL - •
• -• • Stay, -my•sweet singer, _
One touch of thy finger
A little, and linger ;
For these are the sorts
That love the true sports -
Of Mike Tsiblemfeus-
Our bright Coryphams.
In the third year of his -reign, the same monarch
appointed a grand masque at Greenwich, and in the
Hall there was represented a castle called
La For-
tresse Dangereux. 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. coifs 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, apparelled in 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 rigorous 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.

The spirits of courts; and flower of men,
Led by a Prince,' withflam'd intents •
To figure the ten ornaments,
That do the courtly palace grace.
