		Chauncey, who was well acquainted with the Earl, tells us that he was a person of middling stature, with a modest and grave aspect, and that he was very temperate in eating and drinking, but remarkable for his hospitality to his neighbours, charity to the poor, and liberality to strangers.
		The Earl's ambition was the restoration of the Dukedom to his family, and he probably held that with an income of over £70,000 a year and an estate valued at £2,000,000, it should not prove a difficult achievement at a reasonable cost in a corrupt administration.
		The Earl died in October, 1823, and the widow was left the enjoyment of Ashridge for her lifetime, with a competence of £12,000 a year.

	Scenes from Comus (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		John Milton’s Comus, written with the composer Henry Lawes, was commissioned to celebrate the appointment of the Earl of Bridgewater as President of the Council of Wales.
		That last line picks up on the Lady’s opening speech in Comus in which she assumes that the noise of Comus’ rout she hears is the ‘ill-managed merriment’ of ‘the loose unlettered hinds’, that is the local peasantry, or ‘clowns’.
		In the next century his descendant, Francis Egerton, now Duke of Bridgewater, a major investor in the burgeoning industrial revolution, was on the committee that built the Grand Trunk Canal across these same lands.

		Additionally, Comus is dedicated to the Earl of Bridgewater and features his children in the primary roles.
		Debate still rages about whether or not Milton intended the masque to address an unpleasant situation involving the Earl's sister-in-law and niece, where both women were raped repeatedly by members of their household.
		Comus is very much absorbed in the mental and spiritual aspects of chastity and could be viewed as a defense of the victims of sexual assault (who still have their spiritual chastity "intact"), if read with the family history in mind.

		He is in the masque to help guard the three heirs to the Bridgewater estate, because in fact he is their music master.

	Representations
		The commission for a masque almost certainly came his way through the musician Henry Lawes, who composed the music for Comus, and was a friend of Milton’s father.
		Lawes was the house musician to the Earl of Bridgewater, before whom the masque was presented at Ludlow Castle, on the Welsh border, in September, 1634—Milton had several years earlier composed the brief entertainment Arcades, also with music by Lawes, for the same family.
		Comus exists in two quite different early states: the performing text—the script—that Milton initially provided his employers with, and the revised and greatly elaborated version that he subsequently prepared for publication.

	A Grand & Crabby Music - March 3, 2005 - The New York Sun
		It takes a stern Puritan to appreciate the pleasures of the flesh.
		John Milton, the most sensuous of English poets before Keats, illustrates this principle throughout his work but perhaps nowhere more magnificently than in his masque "Comus," first performed in 1634 at Ludlow Castle for the Earl of Bridgewater.
		A masque is a courtly spectacle performed to music; it's hard to imagine, though, how music, even by Henry Lawes, could have added to the supreme melodiousness of this short work.
