The Severall Scenes Antimasques and Entries in This Device of HEAVEN THE GENERALL SCENE is the LITTLE WORLD or Isle of BRITAIN centred within the Sphears of Heaven page 1. The GREAT QUEENE being seated under a Royall State a Cloud rising brings up the First Scene A Scene of Darknesse Nightwork Thunder Lightning with all Attendants of Storme and Tempest NIGHT enters in a hideous shape holding a Landskip of Horror inscribed in a strange Dialect to cause more Admiration ΣKOTOS * * Signifying Darknesse But soaring up too neere the State is amaz'd at such a Majestie and as dazled with that unexpected Brightnesse is forced to retire in most confused haste in which She lost two of Her Attendants SILENCE and OBLIVION Which were still retained behinde Her as Foyles to grace the following Scene of glorious Brightnesse rising up like a cleere Day dawning out of blackest Clouds p. 3 4. In this Scene Two Celestiall HEROINS * * Astronomia Astrologia descend from the Sphears Presenting the Plot of the Masque to the GREAT QUEENE with a Petition inviting Her to vouchsafe Her presence to the HERO'S of Heaven now ready to attend Her whose Beauty might supply the want of PHEBUS Rayes who was already Masked within the Sphe•• expecting Her presence page 4. These two re-ascending in a glorious Rain-bow Sing the first Song to the GREAT QUEENE who rising up in a Rosie coloured Cloud was presently seene Entring among the Masquers personating PHEBE and at the end of the Masque was againe seene with Her Royall PHEBUS under the State while a Celestiall Cho•us enters singing and concludes the Masque page 19. The Plot of the Masque presented by ASTRONOMIA and ASTROLOGIA consists of two Parts or Maps The one Celestiall the other Terrestriall The Celestiall Map * * This Map is fully represented in the Masque Vnmaskt is a most true and exact draught o• the Site and Motions of the SUN MOONE VENUS SATURN MERCURY JUPITER and MARS with other Heavenly Bodies through the yeeres 1639 1640 c. The Terrestriall Map is truly to represent How all Those Motions were shadowed upon Earth for all That time But this last Map or History is not yet fully perfected because the exact proportion 'twixt Heaven and Earth is not yet concluded on by the best ASTRONOMERS The Celestiall and Terrestriall Maps shadowed Both together in one compendious Scheme being an Epitomy of the following Masque PHEBUS pleasing to blesse the Southern World with his Chiefest Residence deputes MERCURY to the Northern THULE * * Of this THVLE as of Saturn and M•rc•ries Right to it and quar•ell for it• a•e large Note• both in the Margents of the Masque and after the Masque but SATURN having pre-possession drives MERCURY back from THULE This Quarrell is shadowed in the Antimasque of Night-work inscribed ΣKOTOS pag. 3.

JUNE But PHEBE'S Royall Goodnesse vouchsafeth to Mediate Peace which PHEBUS granteth to his Dearest PHEBE and so SATURN and MERCURY are againe setled by PHEBUS in their proper Places Onely MARS is Enemy to This Peace and by divers assayes Labours to break it But PHEBE still opposeth Him and so prevaileth that MARS Fals downe as Thunder-struck yeelding himself Prisoner to PHEBUS JULY PHEBUS returneth again leading MARS a Captive-Prisoner to His wonted Southern Residence to the content and Joy of All pag. 12.13 At His Return VENUS petitioneth for Her old Friend MARS and begg•th His Liberty which at length AUGUST PHEBUS granteth in much Royall Goodnesse which to all ingenuous Noble Spirits is a Bond much more Strong then any Chaine then any Fetter MARS released being more inraged at His Imprisonment Plots to incense SATURN and MERCURY againe Through the •est of 1639 and great Pa•t o• 1640. and after divers assayes at length prevailes so farre that SATURN begins againe to frown on MERCURY which MARS so foments that ere long MERCURY is again driven out of THULE and forced to re-implore PHEBUS PHEBUS condescendeth to take a Second Progresse toward THULE 1640. yet resolving rather to prevaile with gentle Rayes of wonted Goodnesse then by Thunderbolts But PHEBE again vouchsafeth to interpose Her selfe prevailing with PHEBUS SEPTEMBER to summon His Grand Councell of all the Seeming Deities pag. 14.

None asked more for more could not be said more could not be Thought Yet one thing more there was at which both Art and Nature stood amaz'd each thinking That the others Skill Which it selfe durst not presume to owne This was a most Naturall Likenesse Propo•tion Feature yea Identity it selfe between This Faire and Glorious PHEBE now over the State 1 1 In the bright Clouds of Heaven and That as Faire Great and Glorious a QUEEN seene before under it Most of the Spectators •ot having eyes to see One Sunne much lesse Two at once thought Both Those but One yet with severall names in severall Places So over the State They called Her PHEBE but under it The GREAT QUEENE as of old to the Poets The same Deity was but in severall Places PHEBE DIANA and PROS••PINA Yet some few that saw with Thoughts as well as eyes Thought the One only Reall The other Representative as Reflected on some choisest Chrystall fixt or moved sooner then Thought yet still after the Motions of the GREAT QUEENE But some Sublimate Rosie-Crucians that were present with their Spectacles not yet content would needs dive to the Bottome of their Deepest Chrysiple to search out This artificiall Mysterie of Nature In discussing of which They had almost made another Antimasque or peece of Night-worke by profound Mysticall Disputations whether Art or Nature Sense or Reason could best separate abstract a• least prescind a Sprightly Genius from its Body which they called the Carcer Animae the Night of Light the Terrean Hecceity of an Etheriall Quiddity so that the same Suppositum might exist in Two distinct Individuums For such they thought the Existence of these Masquers both in Heaven and Earth at the same instant And these suttle Losophers which was best of all thought this Tactulum of theirs a fine Grace to this Masque of Heaven Hoping their Bandore might happly doe as much for the Bass at the next Confort as the Gras-hopper once did for the broken Treble 2 2 Rhodigin Var• Lect• In the meane time not pauzing for this Harmonicall Discord below the Musick suddenly brake forth above most melodiously continued with a sweet though saddest Ditty whose Ayre was thought to be the same with That composed at the Sad parting of the Grecian Princes from their Ladies towards Troy While the Musick began to pauze with a most patheticall melting Note PHEBUS Riseth and with a most Emphaticall aspect parteth from His Dearest PHEBE * * March 25. 1639. the Sunne parted from the Moone the King of Heaven from His Q•eene and went Northward in the Ecli•tick Being then in ARIES the first of all the Nort••rn Signes How t•is a• a•l the rest was sha•owed o• e••th a•o•t t•at t•me ••lon•s to History to •ecord as in a true Terrestriall Map parallell to this Celestiall whose Eyes onely and they fainted too were left able to breath out a Sighing Vale The occasion of This Saddest Parting was some Important Businesse of HEAVEN at which PHEBUS himselfe pleased to advance Northward there to make Two Enemies One Friend Condescending thus to interpose Himselfe though below Himselfe rather then by a Thunder-bolt to deale with Both at greater distance THE MATTER WAS THIS PHEBUS pleasing to blesse the Southern World with his chiefest Res•dence Deputed MERCURY to the utmost Northern THULE 1 1 Of this THVLE also of Saturn and Mercuries•ight to it and Quarrell for it are la•ge no•es annext to the end of the Masque But MERCURY is shrewdly there Oppos'd by SATURN upon an old Grudge ere-since MERCURY so sorely foyled CUPID SATURNS grandchild Manet altâ mente repostum Yet at p•esent SATURN pretends another quarrell pleading Those cold North Climats subject unto Him in PHEBUS absence and to assert his cause besides present Possession almost the best Point in Law He produceth an Old Charter Patent under PHEBUS Broad Seale on which Nature had stampt the Armes 2 2 The Signe of the Lion in Heaven •s by all Astrologers made the proper Palace of t•e S•n and so the Device of PHEBVS of HEAVEN MERCURY offers Dispute and doubts not to make his Cause good by force of Argument But Saturn could handle his Sithe much better then a Syllogism yet had Logick enough to hold His owne Conclusion and deny MERCURIES Assumption of ought belonging to Him yea confessing He could not Dispute He thought best to Moderate and Himselfe will Determine MERCURIES Thesi• And in Conclusion Be it Right or Wrong Hee Forceth MERCURY to goe back as he came and which was more wilily directs That Back-motion into a FALL 3 3 Divers times since 1637 was M•rcury the Planet driven out of AQVARIVS SATVRNS house shado•ed here under the n•me of THVLE and Forced int•PISCES which S•gne all Astrologers call Mercuries Fall MERCURY Falling Protests against SATURNS Injurious Act and to Right Himselfe Appeales to PHEBUS 4 4 MERCVRY Fa•ling into PISCES in March 1639 seemes to appeale to the Su• who was then in PISCES a So•t•ern Signe while SATURN Reprotests and Antiprotests Trusting to the Goodnesse of his Cause not knowing that a New Patent might suspend an Old Charter that was never made or meant to be Eternall To Compose this quarrell PHEBUS Himselfe condescended to take a North progresse towards THULE 1 1 As soone as MERCVRY had thus f•llen and appea•ed the Sunne presently left the Sout•e•n Signes and advanced Nor••wa•d in the Ecliptick y•t in •arrelike manne• for ARIES the first of the North•rn signes into which the Sun then entred is by all Astrologers called the House of MARS and so of Warre and left SATURN should prove contumacious which some feared He advanceth in Warlike manner Sending also MARS before Him to attend MERCURY who without PHEBU'S speciall Favour was like to prove by much too weake for SATURN MARS goeth before toward MERCURY Yet by the Way lingreth a while in VENUS House on old acquaintance But to his Great losse and detriment for PHEBUS will anon revenge it 2 2 MARS then also became Northern both in Latitude and Longitude and went before the Sun toward GEMINI MERCVRIES House Yet by the way lingred awhile in TAVRVS VENVS House but to his hurt for TAVRVS is also called MARS Detriment This is also Poeticall alluding to t•e old Fab•e of MARS with VENVS taken •y t•e Sun JUPITER followes PHEBUS with His Thunderbolts but at distance and not without some seeming great Reluctancy going Backward oft as he seemed to step forward For loth he was to hurt his Old Fa•her yet much more loth to be disloyall to his Soveraigne PHEBUS 3 3 IVPITER with the Poets SATVRNS sonne the• followed the Sun in SAGITARIVS so at distance but with seeming Reluctancy being Retrog•ade Both at length are well prevented by PHEBE'S Wisdome Whose Royall Goodnesse vouchsafeth to mediate PEACE which PHEBUS Granteth to His Dearest PHEBE And so being Reconciled casts His wonted Gracious Aspect upon SATURN Who was thus againe setled
