To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
At the masque, his Majesty sat under his usual large canopy, surrounded by numerous lords. Near him stood the former Archbishop of Spalato, who daily advances in esteem and favour by the publica- tion of books greatly to the King's taste and in other ways. ' On January 30 [O. S. 20], Lando reports that the continued dancing of the Prince on so many masquing occasions brought on illness and "caused a commotion through the whole Court. "^ In his letter on the following day, however, Lando makes m...ention of another masque given by Viscount Doncaster in honour of James and his son — but does not give its date.' It would seem to have occurred before the illness referred to. At any rate, though the nobles humbly prescribed caution, the indisposition of Charles did not hinder the Prince from reproducing his masque at Shrovetide as originally plaimed. The Venetian fears concerning their inability to capture the honours of this last occasion were well founded. The Bohemian Ambassador Dohna and Caron the Ambassador from the States alone received invitation.
