Enter foure _Cupids_ from each side of the Boscage, attired in flame coloured Taffita close to their bodie like naked Boyes, with Bowes, Arrowes, and wings of gold: Chaplets of flowers on their heads, hoodwinckt with Tiffiny scarfs, who joyne with the Nymphes, and the _Hyades_ in another daunce. That ended, _Iris_ speakes. IRIS. Behold the Statuaes which wise _Vulcan_ plac'd Under the Altar of Olympian _Jove_, Shall daunce for joy of these great Nuptialls: And gave to them an Artificiall life, See how they move, drawne by this heavenly joy, Like the wilde trees, which follow'd _Orpheus_ Harpe. The _Statuaes_ enter, supposed to be before descended from _Joves_ Altar, and to have been prepared in the covert with the _Cupids_, attending their call. These _Statuaes_ were attired in cases of gold and silver close to their bodie, faces, hands and feete, nothing seene but gold and silver, as if they had been solid Images of mettall, Tresses of haire as they had been of mettall imbossed, girdles and small aprons of oaken leaves, as if they likewise had been carved or molded out of the mettall: at their comming, the Musicke changed from Violins to Hoboyes, Cornets, &c. And the ayre of the Musicke was utterly turned into a soft time, with drawing notes, excellently expressing their natures, and the Measure likewise was fitted unto the same, and the _Statuaes_ placed in such severall postures, sometimes all together in the Center of the daunce, and sometimes in the foure utmost Angles, as was very gracefull besides the noveltie: and so concluded the first Anti-masque. MERCURIE. And what will _Junoes Iris_ do for her? IRIS. Just match this shew; or my Invention failes, Had it beene worthier, I would have invok'd The blazing Comets, Clouds and falling Starres, And all my kindred Meteors of the Ayre To have excell'd it, but I now must strive To imitate Confusion, therefore thou Delightfull _Flora_, if thou ever felt'st Encrease of sweetnesse in those blooming plants, On which the homes of my faire bow decline; Send hither all the Rurall company, Which decke the May-games with their Countrey sports; _Juno_ will have it so. The second Anti-masque rush in, daunce their Measure, and as rudely depart, consisting of a Pedant.
