What is the meaning of the word pageantry in the context of these lines from John Milton's "L'Allegro"?
To win her Grace, whom all commend.
There let Hymen oft appear
In Saffron robe, with Taper clear,
And pomp, and feast, and revelry,
With mask and antique Pageantry;
Amanner of talking
Belaborate ceremony
Cdisplay of anger
Da large group of servants
To win her Grace, whom all commend.
There let Hymen oft appear
In Saffron robe, with Taper clear,
And pomp, and feast, and revelry,
With mask and antique Pageantry;
Amanner of talking
Belaborate ceremony
Cdisplay of anger
Da large group of servants
