Night and Diana, is 166 MASQUE AT THE MARRIAGE in brief the second three did in all points as the first. Then Night spake again. Night. 7^ last^ and third of nine, touch, magic wand. And gine them boik their forms at Nighfs command. Night touched the third three trees, and the same charm of Night and Diana was sung the third time ; the last three trees were transformed, and the Mas- quers raised, when presently the first Music began his fiill Chorus. Again this song revive and sound it hi...gh : Long live Apollo, BriiaitC s glorious eye! This chorus was in manner of an Echo, seconded by the comets, then by the consort of ten, then by the consort of twelve, and by a double chorus of voices standing on either side, the one against the other, bearing five voices apiece, and sometime every chorus was heard severally, sometime mixed, but in the end all together : which kind of harmony so dis- tinguished by the place, and by the several nature of instruments, and changeable conveyance of the song, and performed by so many excellent masters as were actors in that music, (their number in all amounting to forty two voices and instruments) could not but yield great satisfaction to the hearers.
