The Masque of Augurs

''The Masque of Augurs'' was a Jacobean era masque, written by Ben Jonson and designed by Inigo Jones. It was performed, most likely,〔The "various records, strictly interpreted, give contradictory dates for both the original performance and the revival of this masque...the 6th is probably the correct date..." — G. E. Bentley, ''The Jacobean and Caroline Stage,'' Vol. 4; quoted in Logan and Smith, p. 88.〕 on Twelfth Night, 6 January 1622.
A second performance of the masque, with textual revisions by Jonson, occurred on 5 or 6 May 1622. The music for the masque was composed by Alfonso Ferrabosco and Nicholas Lanier; unfortunately only a single song by Lanier has survived.〔Chan, p. 272.〕
==The show==
The masque opens with an anti-masque, a comic scene involving characters from the "court buttery-hatch," including a Lady Alwife, a brewer's clerk, and a "rare artist" named Vangoose, among others. A bearmaster named Urson introduces two dancing bears; the second anti-masque is "a perplexed dance of straying and deformed pilgrims," which is disrupted by the descent from the clouds of Apollo, the god of prophecy, who introduces the serious portion of the masque. Apollo brings with him a group of other figures from Greek mythology, including Orpheus, Linus, Idmon, and others; a dance of torchbearers and the main dance precede the concluding appearance of Jove.
The dance of the principal masquers was led by Prince Charles, later King Charles I; the masque praised the so-called "Spanish match," the plan of King James I to negotiate a marriage between his heir the Prince of Wales and the Spanish Infanta. The masque, of course, takes the position that the match will come about and be a great success — a prediction that would, over the next few years, prove totally wrong.〔Leapman, p. 206.〕
