Where six women (my Lady Castlemayne and Duchesse of Monmouth being two of them) and six men (the Duke of Monmouth and Lord Arran and Monsieur Blanfort, being three of them) in vizards, but most rich and antique dresses, did dance admirably and most gloriously. God give us cause to continue the mirthe!

01 October 1667 @ Whitehall or St. James's

Event Comment: Pepys, Diary: To White Hall, and there in the Boarded-gallery did hear the musick with which the King is presented this night by Monsieur Grebus [Grabut], the master of his musick; both instrumentall--I think twenty-four violins--and vocall; an English song upon Peace.

The manner of setting of words and repeating them out of order, and that with a number of voices, makes me sick, the whole design of vocall musick being lost by it. Here was a great press of people; but I did not see many pleased with it, only the instrumental musick he had brought by pratice to play very just
