[…] one Roscius Gallus the most excellent player among the Romaines brought up these vizards, which we see at this day used, partly to supply the want of players, when there were moe parts than there were persons, or that it was not thought meet to trouble and pester princes chambers with too many folkes.

意味（3）

(archaic, figuratively) Outward appearance; pretense.

Oh, that deceit should steal such gentle shapes, And with a virtuous vizard hide foul guile!
