white feather before Their Dance ended the mist and Clouds at an instant disappeare and the Sceane is all changed into a Sea somewhat calme where the billowes moving sometimes whole and sometimes breaking beat gently on the land which represented a new and strange prospect the nearest part was broken grounds and Rockes with a mountainous Countrey but of a pleasant Aspect in which were trees of strange forme and Colour and here and there were placed in the bottome severall Arbors like Cottages and strange beasts and birds farre unlike the Countrey of these parts expressing an Indian Landschape In the Sea were severall I Indamora Queene of Narsinga sate enthron'd in the highest part of this Chariot in a rich seat the backe of which was a great Skallop Shell The habit of the Masquers was of Isabella Colour and Watchet with Bases in large paines cut through all over richly embroyder'd with silver and the dressing of their heads was of silver with small falls of white feathers tipp'd with Watchet This sight thus moving on the water was accompanied with the musicke and voyces of the Chorus 1.
