The Inner Temple masque, or, Masque of heroes is a 1619 London masque by Thomas Middleton, printed by William Stansby for the bookseller John Browne and written as an entertainment for ladies by gentlemen of the Inner Temple. The pictures are small printed ornaments: a scrolled headpiece with foliage, a crowned heraldic shield with diamond charges, and a decorative initial T beside verse lines, which a designer could draw on for heraldic emblems and early seventeenth-century type ornament.
