^{page 381 note a} The full title of this scarce tract is as follows: “A Relation of the late Royall Entertainment given by the Right Honorable the Lord Knowles, at Cawsome-House neere Redding, to our most Gracious Queene, Queene Anne, in her Progresse toward the Bathe, vpon the seuen and eight and twentie dayes of Aprill 1613. Whereunto is annexed the Description, Speeches, and Songs of the Lords Maske, presented in the Banquetting-house, on the Marriage night of the High and Mightie Count Palatine, and the Royally descended, the Ladie Elizabeth. Written by Thomas Campion. London. Printed for John Budge, 1613.” It is reprinted in Nichols's Progresses of James I. vol. ii. pp. 554–565, 630–639. In the “Biographia Dramatica,” under Campion, notice is taken of the Entertainment, but all mention of the Masque omitted, nor is it entered (where one would expect to find it) under Masque. It is, however, mentioned under Entertainment, where nobody would think of seeking it.

^{page 381 note b} Mr. Collier says, p. 393, n., that Inigo Jones left England for Italy in 1612, and did not return till 1615. The former date can surely never be right, as proved by the share taken by him in the management of Campion's Masque, and in the Masque of the Middle Temple and Lincoln's Inn, Feb. 1612–1613. Cf. the “Progresses,” vol. ii. p. 558 n.and p. 566.

For some notices respecting him, see Nares's Glossary, voce Archy, and the authorities cited. In the Add. MS. 5750. f. 30, is the original Warrant for the Coat worn by him on the occasion of the Princess's marriage, a copy of which is subjoined.
