One of the most intriguing musical dramas of 17th century England.
The composition of the music is attributed to Christopher Gibbons (1615-1676) and Matthew Locke (1621 / 3-1677), whose colorful compositions are not without influence on the work of Henry Purcell and his contemporaries.
Shirley's libretto, which is based on Aesop's fables, tells the story of the gods Cupid and Death who, staying in the same inn, have their bows exchanged by Chamberlain, resulting in utter chaos. The world upside down reveals a horrific Nature filled with grotesque events: as young lovers fail, the wise fall head over heels in love and sworn enemies fall into each other's arms. Finally, the god Mercury descends from paradise to restore earthly order. He punishes Cupid and Death and guides Nature to paradise, where the slain lovers now reside in full harmony.
