[The masquerade remained a part of <i>Queen Mab</i> and was also attached to <i>Fortunatus</i>. It evoked the following verse in <i>Lloyd's Evening Post</i>, Nov. 21-23]: One night last week a merry blade,@Who'd seen the Royal Masquerade,@And paid ten guineas for admission,@Began to damn the imposition;@His friend reply'd, "You may complain,@For I last Night at Drury Lane,@Saw full as much for eighteen pence,@As you got at such vast expence."-- $G.S.
