In Francis Beaumont's "The Masque of the Inner Temple and Gray's Inn" (1613), the second anti-masque features this cast of rural characters: pedant, May Lord and Lady, servingman and chambermaid, tavern host and hostess, shepherd and his wench, and two "bavians" (male and female baboon). The same cast slightly simplified (minus wench and one "bavian") enacts the Morris dance in "Kinsmen," A successful "special effect" in Beaumont's masque, designed for a single performance, appears to have been adopted and adapted into "Kinsmen", indicating that the play followed soon after the masque.
