Abstract

Sabrina, the heroine of John Milton's play 'A Maske Presented at Ludlow Castle,' is considered to have been played by a hired actor, but the role was intended for Lady Mary Edgerton Herbert. Before her marriage, Lady Mary was an accomplished singer, and scholars have commented on the similarities between her and Sabrina.
