[Footnote 606: For the spectacle as dream, cf. _Henry VIII_, iv. 2; _Cymbeline_, v. 4, which, like the epiphany in _A. Y. L._ v. 4, perhaps illustrates the point all the better in that it is probably an interpolation; for the spectacle as magic show, Marlowe, _Dr. Faustus_, 515, 721, 1263; _Macbeth_, iv. 1; _Tempest_, iii. 3, and the mock magic of _Merry Wives_, v. 5. The mask of _Tempest_, iv. 1, is of course both mask and magic.]

[Footnote 608: In _Spanish Tragedy_, i. 5, Hieronimo brings in a 'pompous jest' in which three knights hang up their scutcheons and capture three kings. This is called a 'mask' (l. 23), but there is no dance, only a dumb-show interpreted by Hieronimo. Similarly the 'Maske of Cupid' in Spenser, _F. Q._ III. xii, is merely an allegorical procession, without a dance. Later, Dekker and Ford's play of _The Sun's Darling_ (1656) is described on the title-page as 'a moral masque'.]
[Footnote 610: _L. L. L._ v. 2; _R. J._ i. 4, 5. Similarly the mask in _Hen. VIII_, i. 4, is suggested by the historic source. In _M. V._ ii. 5, 28, Shylock warns Jessica against masks in the street, with their drum and 'wry-necked fife', but none is shown.]
