Cupid and Death
Cupid and Death accidentally exchange arrows. Cupid’s shots kill prospective lovers, while Death’s arrows make the elderly ardent and stop duelists from fighting. Mercury eventually restores order, Cupid is banished from princes’ courts to ordinary cottages, and the slain lovers rejoice in Elysium. A comic anti-masque adds a tavern host, a chamberlain, and dancing satyrs and apes.
