"The Masque", also known as "The Mask" and "Hey to the Camp", "The Praties are Dug and the Frost is all Over", "What Would I do if the Kettle Boiled Over" or "What Would You do if You Married a Soldier?" is an English "Old Hornpipe" in C Major. The parts are played AABB. The melody was printed in the second supplement to the 7th edition of Playford's Dancing Master (1688) and again in the 9th edition (1698). A more elaborate version in D major was printed in the 17th edition of the Dancing Master (1721). It was also titled "Hey to the Camp" and was printed under both titles in editions 11 to 16. The title refers to the masque, a form of festive courtly entertainment the heyday of which was in the 16th and early 17th centuries in England and elsewhere in Europe. It consisted of dancing, singing and acting within an elaborate stage or set design and typically were occasions for reveling at festive events, such as weddings and Christmas celebrations. Professional actors and singers would often be hired for the masque, but supplemented by costumed guests and courtiers. In some sense, the masques were the gentrified outgrowth of the medieval pageants and courtly shows of the late middle ages and were the counterpart to the lower classes pace-egging plays (the Easter versions of the medieval mystery plays) and morris dances. However, by Playford's time the masque was going out of fashion in England, to be replaced the semi-opera of Dryden and Purcell. It was printed in Barlow's The Complete Country Dance Tunes from Playford's Dancing Master (1985).
