The quarto is as follows:
THE | MASQUE | OF THE INNER | TEMPLE AND GRAYES | INNE: | GRAYES INNE
AND THE IN-|NER TEMPLE, PRESENTED BEFORE | his Majestie, the Queenes
Majestie, the Prince, Count | _Palatine and the Lady Elizabeth their
Highnesses, in_ | the Banquetting house at White-hall on Sa-|turday

THE MASKE OF | THE INNER TEMPLE AND | GRAYES INNE, GRAYES INNE | and
the Inner Temple, presented before his | _Majestie, the Queenes, &c._
This Maske was appointed to have beene presented the Shrove-tuesday
before, at which time the Maskers with their attendants and divers
others gallant young Gentlemen of both houses, as their convoy, set
forth from Winchester house which was the _Rende vous_ towards the
Court, about seven of the clocke at night.
This voyage by water was performed in great Triumph. The gentlemen
Maskers being placed by themselves in the Kings royall barge with the
rich furniture of state, and adorned with a great number of lights
placed in such order as might make best shew.
They were attended with a multitude of barges and gallies, with all
variety of lowde Musicke, and severall peales of Ordnance. And led by
two Admiralls.
Of this shew his Majesty was gratiously pleased to take view, with
the Prince, the Count _Palatine_, and the Lady _Elizabeth:_ their
highnesses at the windowes of his privy gallerie upon the water, till
their landing, which was at the privy staires: where they were most
honorablie received by the Lord Chamberlaine, and so conducted to the
Vestry.
The Hall was by that time filled with company of very good fashion, but
yet so as a very great number of principall Ladies, and other noble
persons were not yet come in, wherby it was foreseen that the roome
would be so scanted as might have been inconvenient. And there upon his
Majesty was most gratiously pleased with the consent of the gentlemen
Maskers, to put off the night until Saturday following with this
special favour and priviledge, that there should bee no let, as to the
outward ceremony of magnificence untill that time.
