“Comus” is a Masque drama by John Milton, who is an English poet, polemicist, man of letters, and civil servant for the Commonwealth of England under its Council of State and later under Oliver Cromwell. Known colloquially as Comus, the mask's actual full title is A Mask presented at Ludlow Castle 1634. Comus was printed anonymously in 1637, Milton included the work in his Poems of 1645 and 1673. As a Masque drama, the play as all characters on stage and when their turn comes to present a part in the action they speak while everyone else remains. Comus is a scheming magician of Satanic proportions who runs across a Lady in the forest. He invites her to be entertained with liquor with which he expects to awaken her lust and pride, both great sins. He is adept with compliments and is a master of rhetorical combinations and slick at debate. She allows herself to be the victim of his meandering words as he leads her to his cave. Later she extricates herself from Comus' lair and his flattering discourse. This drama is a scintillating account of the temptations which waylay everyone and the strategies needed to avoid them.
