No Masque

This was, I believe, penned by a student who majored in formal logic and minored in spelling at Glen Beck "University". Although, who knows, given the location -- a building site on the corner of 4th Avenue and 10th Street -- it could have been done by an NYU student. What I suppose he -- I'm guessing it's a "he" -- doesn't know is that the art of the masque died out after the Puritans closed the London theaters in 1642, and had been in decline since arguably the greatest practitioner in the English-speaking world, Sir Philip Sidney, died in 1586.
