3.00 Cupid and Death
A masque by James Shirley with music by Matthew Locke and Christopher Gibbons.
Cupid and Death are fellow guests at a country inn. The host's chamberlain, thwarted in his plans to inherit a fortune, takes revenge by exchanging their arrows. Mother Nature is appalled to see her laws overturned and calls on higher gods to intervene.
