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 the higher gods to intervene. Mercury descends and brings the chaos to an end.

Compiled by JOHN CARR GREGG from the writings of HIGUCH1 1CHIYO (1872-96), the first woman writer of stature in modern Japan with and Narrator Leonard Fenton
