Note 667 — VI THE MASK (continued)
Reading edition
On 2 Feb. 1604, the Earl of Worcester wrote to the Earl of Shrewsbury of The Twelve Goddeses (Lodge, iii. 87), 'I have been at sixpence charge with you to send you the book'. He adds that the books of another ballet were 'all called in'. After the Mask of Beauty Lord Lisle wrote to Shrewsbury (Lodge, App. 102) that he could not get the verses, because Jonson was busy writing more for the Haddington wedding.
