The Celestiall and Terrestriall Maps, sha∣dowed Both together in one compendious Scheme; being an Epitomy of the following Masque.
PHEBUS, pleasing to blesse the Southern World with his Chiefest Residence, deputes MERCURY to the Northern THULE * 1.1; but SATURN (having pre-posses∣sion) drives MERCURY back, from THULE. This Quarrell is shadowed in the Antimasque of Night-work, inscribed ΣKOTOS. pag. 3.
* 1.2MERCURY imploreth PHEBUS; Who, in much Goodnesse, condescendeth to take a Northerne Pro∣gresse toward THULE, to reconcile these Two; yet, lest They should prove Contumacious, He advanceth in Warre-like manner; attended with JUPITER, MARS, and all their Satellites. pag. 9.
* 1.3But PHEBE'S Royall Goodnesse vouchsafeth to Me∣diate Peace; which PHEBUS granteth to his Dearest PHEBE: and so, SATURN and MERCURY are againe setled by PHEBUS in their proper Places.
Onely MARS, is Enemy to This Peace, and by divers assayes, Labours to break it. But, PHEBE still opposeth Him; and so prevaileth, that MARS Fals downe as Thunder-struck; yeelding himself Prisoner to PHEBUS.
* 1.4PHEBUS returneth again (leading MARS a Captive-Prisoner) to His wonted Southern Residence; to the con∣tent and Joy of All. pag. 12.13.
