A wedding court masque for James Hay and Honora Denny, built around a sylvan setting with Diana's grove, Flora's bower and the House of Night. Nine knights of Apollo emerge from moving golden trees, accompanied by torchbearers representing the Hours of night.
A woodland scene frames a dialogue between Orpheus and Mania, followed by dances from Mania and her companions. Prometheus reveals star-dressed masquers descending on clouds; statues of women come to life, then dance with the masquers and the newly married couple. A final vision and Sibyl's prophecy celebrate Elizabeth's imperial future and the union of British and German peoples.
At a royal wedding masque, Error, Rumour, Curiosity, and Credulity enchant twelve knights and throw the world into discord. Eternity, the Three Destinies, and Harmony enlist Queen Anne to free them with a branch from a golden tree; the released lords dance before the audience and the performance closes with Thames bargemen singing.
