xii ページ - SOCIETY desire it to be understood that they are not answerable for any opinions or observations that may appear in the Society's publications; the Editors of the several Works being alone responsible for the same.
1 ページ - The Characters of two Royall Masques. The one of Blacknesse, the other of Beautie, personated by the most magnificent of Queenes, Anne, Queene of great Britaine, &c.
13 ページ - The masquers were placed in a great concave shell like mother of pearl, curiously made to move on those waters and rise with the billow; the top thereof was stuck with a chevron of lights which, indented to the proportion of the shell, struck a glorious beam upon them as they were seated one above another; so that they were all seen, but in an extravagant order.
13 ページ - These thus presented, the scene behind seemed a vast sea, and united with this that flowed forth, from the termination or horizon of which (being the level of the State, which was placed in the upper end of the Hall) was drawn by the lines of prospective, the whole work shooting downwards from the eye; which decorum made it more conspicuous, and caught the eye afar off with a wandering beauty: to which was added an obscure and cloudy Night-piece, that made the whole set off".

70 ページ - Her house is all of echo made, Where never dies the sound: And as her brows the clouds invade, Her feet do strike the ground.
38 ページ - Of the green cock we have no other ground (to confess ingenuously) than a vulgar fable of a witch that with a cock of that colour and a bottom of blue thread, would transport herself through the air; and so escaped (at the time of her being brought to execution) from the hand of justice. It was a tale when I went to school; and somewhat there is like it in Mart.
38 ページ - Credulity, &c., the opposites to good Fame, should fill that part, not as a masque, but a spectacle of strangeness, producing multiplicity of gesture, and not unaptly sorting with the current and whole fall of the device.
23 ページ - Jones will be come hither. I tell him I hope he will, but I cannot promise, because I spake not with him of it when I came out of towne. I meane (by God his grace) to be at Arundell on Tuesday or Wednesday, come seavennight, wch is the eighth or ninthe of Auguste : if Mr. Jones come hither, I will bringe him wth me ; if not, you must wth you.
