After this antimasque, came other mu-
sicians on horseback, playing upon bag-
pipes and other kinds of Northern music,
to shew that the following projectors were
Scots; and these, like the rest, had many
footmen with torches waiting on them.

First in this antimasque rode a fellow
upon a little horse with a great bit in his
mouth, carrying upon his head a bit with
a headstall and reins; a projector, who
begged a patent, that none in the king-
dom might ride their horses, without such
bits as they should buy of him.

Then came another fellow with a capon
upon his fist, and a bunch of carrots upon
his head, representing a projector, who
begged a patent of monopoly, as the first
inventor of the art of feeding capons fat
with carrots.

Several other projectors were personated
in this antimasque, which pleased the
spectators the more, because an informa-
tion was thus covertly given to the King,
of the unfitness and ridiculousness of these
projects against the law.  The Attorney
Noy, who had most knowledge of them,
had a great hand in this antimasque of the
projectors.

After this and the rest of the anti-
masques, came six of the chief musicians
on horseback upon foot-cloths, and in the
habits of Heathen priest, footmen carry-
ing torches by their sides.  These were
followed by a large open chariot, drawn
by six fine horses with large plumes of
feathers on their heads and cruppers.  In
this chariot were about a dozen persons, in
the habits of Gods and Goddesses, many
footmen walking an all sides with torches.

This chariot was followed by six more
of the musicians on horseback, dressed and
attended with torches like the former,
proceeding before another large open cha-
riot, drawn by six fine horses, with fea-
thers, liveries, and torches, like the other.
Within it were twelve musicians, as vari-
ously dressed as the others, to represent,
like them, Pagan deities.  These chariots
were made for this occasion, and, preced-
ing the grand masquers chariots, played
upon excellent loud music all the way.

After this chariot came six more musi-
cians, dressed and attended like the for-
mer, followed by the first chariot of the
grand masquers, which was not so large
as those that went before, but was curi-
ously carved and painted.  It was in the
form of a Roman triumphal chariot, and
richly painted with crimson and silver
