Farmer (1912, _T.F.T._), and W. -W. Greg (1913, _M.S.R._). - -The play has been ascribed to Shakespeare by Collier, to Shakespeare -and Marston by Simpson, and to Lodge by Fleay, _Shakespeare_, 291, -but no serious case has been made out for any of these claims. Bullen, -_Marlowe_, 1, lxxiv, says that Collier had a copy with doggerel -rhymes on the t.p. including the line, - - Our famous Marloe had in this a hand, - -which Bullen calls ‘a very ridiculous piece of forgery’. - - - _Albion Knight > 1566_ - -_S.

A fragment on -Temperance and Humility, conjecturally assigned by Collier, i. 284, to -the same play, is of earlier printing by thirty years or so (_M.S.C._ -i. 243).] - -_Editions_ by J. P. Collier (1844, _Sh. Soc. Papers_, i. 55) and W. -W. Greg (1910, _M. S. C._ i. 229).--_Dissertations_: M. H. Dodds, -_The Date of A. K._ (1913, 3 _Library_, iv. 157); G. A. Jones, _The -Political Significance of A. K._ (1918, _J. G. P._ xvii. 267). - -Collier suggests that this was the play disliked at court on 31 Dec. -1559, but, as Fleay, 66, points out, that would hardly have been -licensed for printing. Dodds thinks it motived by the Pilgrimage of -Grace (1536–7) and written shortly after. - - - _Alice and Alexis_ - -A fragment (to iii. 1) of a play on the loves of Alice and Alexis, -thwarted by Tanto, with an argument of the whole, is in _Douce MS._ -171 (_Bodl._ 21745), f. 48^v. The date ‘1604’ is scribbled amongst the -pages. The manuscript also contains sixteenth-century accounts. There -seems nothing to connect this with Massinger’s _Alexius, or the Chaste -Lover_, licensed by Herbert on 25 Sept. 1639 and apparently included in -Warburton’s list of burnt plays (3 _Library_, ii. 232, 249). - - - _Alphonsus, Emperor of Germany > 1636_ - -_S. R._ 1653, Sept. 9. ‘A play called Alphonso, Emperor of Germany, by -John Poole.’ _H. Moseley_ (Eyre, i. 428). - -1654. The Tragedy of Alphonsus Emperour of Germany. As it hath -been very often Acted (with great applause) at the Privat house in -Black-Friers by his late Maiesties Servants. By George Chapman Gent. -_For Humphrey Moseley._ [Epistle to the Reader. The B.M. copy of the -play is dated ‘Novemb. 29, 1653’.] - -_Editions_ by K. Elze (1867) and H. F. Schwarz (1913), and in -collections of Chapman (q.v.). - -_Alphonsus_ may reasonably be identified with the _Alfonso_ given -before the Queen and the Elector Palatine at the Blackfriars on 5 May -1636 (Cunningham, xxiv). The ascription on the title-page to Chapman -is repeated therefrom by Langbaine who rejects that of Kirkman in 1661 -and 1671 (Greg, _Masques_, xlviii) to Peele, but the intimate knowledge -of German shown in the dialogue has led Elze and Ward, ii. 428, to -give Chapman a German collaborator, conceivably one Rudolf Weckerlin -of Würtemberg, who after a preliminary visit before 1614 settled -permanently in England about 1624 and obtained political employment, -which he varied with literary exercises. Later critics are inclined to -reject Chapman’s authorship altogether, and the case against it has -been effectively put by E. Koeppel, _Quellen-Studien zu den Dramen -Chapman’s_, 78, and Parrott. The ascription to Peele has been revived -by Robertson, _T. A._ 123, and though Parrott does not accept the full -argument, he agrees in regarding the play as originally of Peele’s -date, possibly by him, with or without a collaborator, and drastically -revised at a later period, perhaps by Weckerlin in 1636. Fleay, ii. -156, 311, also accepts Peele and identifies the play with _Harry of -Cornwall_, revived by Strange’s for Henslowe on 25 Feb. 1592, but, as -Greg (_Henslowe_, ii. 151) points out, the character in _Alphonsus_ is -not Henry, but Richard of Cornwall. It must be observed that no critic -has noticed the _S. R._ ascription to John Poole, which may quite well -be the origin of Kirkman’s ‘Peele’. Who John Poole was, I do not know. - - - _Apius and Virginia > 1567–8_ - -_S. R._ 1567–8. ‘A Tragedy of Apius and Virgine.’ _Richard Jones_ -(Arber, i. 357). - -1575. A new Tragicall Comedie of Apius and Virginia, Wherein is liuely -expressed a rare example of the vertue of Chastitie, by Virginias -constancy, in wishing rather to be slaine at her owne Fathers handes, -then to be deflowred of the wicked Iudge Apius. By R. B. _William How -for Richard Jones._ [Prologue and Epilogue.] - -_Editions_ in Dodsley^{3, 4} (1825–76), and by J. S. Farmer (1908, -_T. F. T._) and R. B. McKerrow (1911, _M. S. R._). - -‘Haphazard, the Vice’ is a character. The stage-directions name ‘the -stage’, ‘the scaffold’. A prologue addresses ‘lordings’; an epilogue -has a prayer for the queen, nobles, and commons. The play is not -controversial, but the tone is Protestant. Fleay, 61, thinks it a -Westminster play of 1563–4; but no Westminster play of 1563–4 is on -record. If Fleay means 1564–5, the Westminster play of that Christmas -was _Miles Gloriosus_. There is nothing but the initials to -identify the author with Richard Bower of the Chapel (q.v.), but -the suggestion is more plausible than that of Wallace, i. 108, who -gives the play to Richard Edwardes (q.v.), finding that the ‘R. E.’ -subscribed to some of his manuscript poems is capable of being misread -‘R. B.’. - - - _Arden of Feversham > 1592_ - -_S. R._ 1592, April 3 (Bishop of London). ‘The tragedie of Arden of -Feuersham and Blackwall.’ _Edward White_ (Arber, ii. 607). [See s.v. -Kyd, _Spanish Tragedy_, for the record of a piracy of the play in 1592 -by Abel Jeffes.] - -1592. The Lamentable and True Tragedie of M. Arden of Feuersham in -Kent. Who was most wickedlye murdered, by the meanes of his disloyall -and wanton wyfe, who for the love she bare to one Mosbie, hyred two -desperat ruffins Blackwill and Shakbag, to kill him.

Crawford, _The Authorship of A. of F._ (1903, -_Jahrbuch_, xxxix. 74; _Collectanea_, i. 101); W. Miksch, _Die -Verfasserschaft des A. of F._ (1907, Breslau diss.); K. Wiehl, _Thomas -Kyd und die Autorschaft von ... A. of F._ (1912, _E. S._ xliv. 356); H. -D. Sykes, _Sidelights upon Shakespeare_, 48 (1919); L. Cust, _A. of F._ -(1920, _Arch. Cant._ xxxiv. 101). - -Jacob first claimed the authorship for Shakespeare. In spite of the -advocacy of Swinburne (_Study of Sh._, 129) modern criticism remains -wholly unconvinced. The play has tragic merit, but it is not of a -Shakespearian character, and it is impossible to fit its manner, before -1592, into any coherent theory of Shakespeare’s development. More -plausible is the case for Kyd, suggested by Fleay, ii. 28, who puts -the date as far back as 1585 on quite unreliable grounds of improbable -guess-work, and supported by Robertson, _T. A._ 151, and elaborately -argued by Crawford and Sykes. But Boas, _Kyd_, lxxxix, thinks that the -author was more likely an imitator of Kyd, and opinion remains divided. -Oliphant (_M. P._ viii. 420) suggests Kyd and Marlowe, possibly with -a third. The theme may also have been that of the _Murderous Michael_ -played at court by Sussex’s in 1579. - - - _The Birth of Hercules. 1597 <_ - -[_MS._] _B.M. Add.

Bond (1911, _M. S. R._). - -This is pretty clearly a University play, and any connexion with the -_Hercules_ of the Admiral’s men in 1595 is highly improbable. As -George Peele died in 1596, it seems difficult to identify him with -the Peleus of the MS.

Mühlfeld (1911, -1912, _Jahrbuch_, xlvii. 132; xlviii. 37), and J. S. Farmer (_S. F. -T._).--_Dissertations_: T. M. Parrott, _The Academic Tragedy of C. and -P._ (1910, _M. L. R._ v. 435); H. M.

Q._ -ii. 305). - -There is no traceable connexion between this and any other of the -several plays on Caesar, extant and lost, which are upon record. C. -Crawford (_M. S. C._ i. 290) indicates some parallels which suggest a -date of authorship between 1592 and 1596. - - - _Charlemagne or The Distracted Emperor c. 1600_ - -[_MS._] _Egerton MS._ 1994.

Schoell, _Un Drame Élisabéthain Anonyme -C_ (1912, _Revue Germanique_, viii. 155). - -Bullen suggests that the author was Chapman, and also thinks Tourneur -or Marston conceivable. He quotes Fleay’s opinion in favour of Field. -Fleay, ii. 319, withdraws Field and substitutes Dekker. He identifies -the play with the ‘King Charlemagne’ of Peele’s _Farewell_ of 1589 (cf. -s.v. Peele, _Battle of Alcazar_). Schoell makes an elaborate case for -Chapman, and thinks that the play might be _The Fatall Love, a French -Tragedy_, entered as his in _S. R._ on 29 June 1660, and included, -without author’s name, in Warburton’s list of burnt plays (3 _Library_, -ii. 231). A date later than 1584 is indicated by the use of Du Bartas’s -_Seconde Semaine_ of that year. It may be added that the style points -to _c._ 1600 rather than _c._ 1590. - - - _Claudius Tiberius Nero > 1607_ - -_S. R._ 1607, April 10 (Buck). ‘A booke called the tragicall Life and -Death of Claudius Tiberius Nero.’ _Francis Burton_ (Arber, iii. 346). - -1607. The Tragedie of Claudius Tiberius Nero, Rome’s greatest Tyrant. -Truly represented out of the purest Records of those Times. _For -Francis Burton._ [Epistle to Sir Arthur Mannering, son of Sir George of -Eithfield, Shropshire; Verses _Ad Lectores_.] - -1607. The Statelie Tragedie of Claudius Tiberius Nero.... _For Francis -Burton_. [Another issue.] - -_Edition_ by J. S. Farmer (_S. F. T._). - -The play, which is on Tiberius, not Nero, is to be distinguished from -_Nero_ (1624). The epistle, not apparently by the author, says that the -play’s ‘Father was an Academician’. - - - _Club Law. 1599–1600_ - -[_MS._] St. John’s College, Cambridge, MS. S. 62. [Without t.p. and -imperfect; probably identical with a MS. of the play owned by Richard -Farmer.] - -_Edition_ by G. C. Moore Smith (1907). [Epilogue.]--_Dissertation_: G. -C. Moore Smith, _The Date of C. L._ (1909, _M. L. R._ iv. 268). - -The play is described by Fuller, _Hist. of Cambridge_ (1655), 156, as -given at Clare Hall in 1597–8. But J. S. Hawkins, in his edition of -Ruggle’s _Ignoramus_ (1787), xvi, gives the alternative date 1599, -and this has now been confirmed by the discovery of manuscript annals -of Cambridge, probably by Fuller himself, with the entry, under the -academic year 1599–1600, ‘Aula Clarensis. Club Law fabula festivissima -data multum ridentibus Academicis, frustra Oppidanis dolentibus’. The -play is a satire on the townsmen, and especially the anti-gown mayor of -1599–1600, John Yaxley. Fuller says that the townsmen were invited to -the performance and made to sit it through, and that they complained -to the Privy Council, who first ‘sent some slight and private check to -the principall Actors therein’, and then, when pressed, said that they -would come to Cambridge, and see the comedy acted over again in the -presence of the townsmen. The fact that there is no record of these -letters in the extant register of the Council hardly disproves the -substance of Fuller’s story. Hawkins ascribed the play to Ruggle (q.v.) -on the authority of an eighteenth-century memorandum. - - - _Sir Clyomon and Clamydes c. 1570_ - -1599. The Historie of the two valiant Knights, Syr Clyomon knight of -the Golden Sheeld, sonne to the King of Denmarke: And Clamydes the -White Knight, sonne to the King of Suauia. As it hath been sundry times -Acted by her Maiesties Players. _Thomas Creede._ [Prologue.] - -_Editions_ by W. W. Greg (1913, _M. S. R._) and J. S. Farmer (_S. F. -T._), and in collections of Peele. - -Subtle Shift ‘the vice’, Providence, and Rumour are among the -characters. - -Dyce ascribed the play to George Peele on the strength of a manuscript -note ‘in a very old hand’ on a copy of the 1599 edition. Bullen thinks -it of earlier date than Peele. Greg agrees, regarding it as about -contemporary with _Common Conditions_. L. Kellner, in _Englische -Studien_, xiii. 187, compares the language and style at great length -with Peele’s and concludes against his authorship, unless indeed he -wrote it in a spirit of parody. His arguments are challenged by R. -Fischer in _Englische Studien_, xiv. 344. Fleay, 70, assigned it, with -_Common Conditions_, to R. Wilson. Later (ii. 295), he substituted -R[ichard] B[ower]. He noted a parallel to Thomas Preston’s _Cambyses_, -and suggested as a date 1570 or 1578, the years, according to him, -of the original production and of a revival of _Cambyses_. G. L. -Kittredge, in _Journal of Germanic Philology_, ii. 8, suggests that -Preston himself was the author of _Sir Clyomon and Clamydes_. If the -‘her Maiesties Players’ of the title-page means the later company of -that name, the play, if not written, must have been revived 1583–94. -Fleay, ii. 296, further identifies it with _The Four Kings_ licensed -for Henslowe (i. 103) in March 1599; but an old Queen’s play would not -have needed a licence. An Anglo-German repertory of 1626 includes a -‘Tragikomödie vom König in Dänemark und König in Schweden’ (Herz, 66, -72). - - - _Common Conditions > 1576_ - -_S.

P._ x. 90). - -The authorship was first ascribed to Shakespeare (with that of _Edw. -IV_ and _Edw. II_!) in Rogers and Ley’s play-list of 1656 (Greg, -_Masques_, lxiv). The theory was advocated by Capell, and has received -much support, largely owing to the assent of Tennyson, against whose -authority, however, may be set that of Swinburne. In its latest and not -altogether unplausible form, Shakespeare is regarded as the author, not -of the whole play, but of i. 2 and ii, which deal with the episode of -the wooing of Lady Salisbury by the king, and are possibly, although -by no means certainly, due to another hand than that of the chronicle -narrative, to which they are only slightly linked. The style of these -scenes is not demonstrably un-Shakespearian, and they, and in less -degree the play as a whole, contain many parallels with _Hen. V_ and -other works of the ‘nineties, of which the repetition in II. i. 451 and -in Sonnet XCIV of the line - - Lilies that fester smell far worse than weeds - -is the most striking. The controversy cannot be dealt with in detail -here. Shakespeare’s contribution, if any, may with most probability -be assigned to the winter of 1594–5; but it does not follow that -the original play may not have been of earlier date. No importance -is to be attached to the argument of Fleay (ii. 62; _Shakespeare_, -282) that the use of the phrase ‘Ave, Caesar’ in I. i. 164 caused -its use in Greene’s _Francesco’s Fortunes_ of 1590 (cf. App. C, no. -xliii), but it is noteworthy that a play on the subject was produced, -apparently under Anglo-German influence, at Danzig in 1591 (Herz, 5). -Of non-Shakespearian authors, for the whole or a part of the play as -extant, Marlowe is preferred by Fleay, Greene by Liebau and Robertson, -and Kyd by Sarrazin. - - - _Edward the Fourth > 1599_ - -_S.

Heywood’s Historien von König Edward iv und ihre Quellen_ (1907, -Jena diss.). - -Sander and others date the play 1594, by an identification with the -anonymous _Siege of London_ revived by the Admiral’s on 26 Dec. 1594. -Greg (Henslowe, ii. 173) more cautiously says that the play of 1594 -‘may underlie’ certain scenes of _1 Edward iv_. He regards _Edward -iv_, ‘on internal evidence, as unquestionably Heywood’s’. This is the -usual view, but Fleay, ii. 288, had doubted it. There is no external -evidence for Heywood’s authorship, or for any connexion between him and -Derby’s men. Moreover, in May 1603, he authorized Henslowe, on behalf -of Worcester’s, to pay Chettle and Day for ‘the Booke of Shoare, now -newly to be written’, also described as ‘a playe wherein Shores wiffe -is writen’. If this was a revision of his own play, he would hardly -have left it to others. It is fair to add that in the previous January -he had himself received payment with Chettle for an unnamed play, -which might be the same (Henslowe, ii. 234). The ‘three-mans song’ on -Agincourt in iii. 2 of Part I closely resembles Drayton’s _Ballad of -Agincourt_ (ed. Brett, 81), and must, I think, be his. _Jane Shore_ is -mentioned as a play visited by citizens in _The Knight of the Burning -Pestle_ (1607), ind. 57, and ‘the well-frequented play of Shore’ in -_Pimlyco or Runne Redcap_ (1609). A play, apparently on the same -subject, was performed by English actors at Graz on 19 Nov. 1607 (Herz, -98). - - - _Every Woman in Her Humour. 1607–8?_ - -1609. Everie Woman in her Humor. _E.

But this is not conclusive, and Adams -points to the use of a song (p. 335) from Bateson’s _Madrigals_ (1604). -He thinks that Lewis Machin was the author, as the style resembles -that of the comic part of _The Dumb Knight_ (vide s. Markham), and two -passages are substantially reproduced in the latter. If so, this also -may be a King’s Revels play. Allusions on p. 270 to the ‘babones’ (cf. -s.v. _Sir Giles Goosecap_) and on p. 316 to the Family of Love (cf. -s.v.

One theme is the contest of William the -Conqueror and the Marquess Lubeck for the loves of Princess Blanch of -Denmark and of Mariana, a Swedish captive; the other is the contest -of Manvile, Mountney and Valingford for Em, daughter of the Miller of -Manchester. A ‘ballad intituled The Miller’s daughter of Manchester’ -was entered on the Stationers’ Register by Henry Carr on 2 March 1581 -(Arber, ii. 390). _Fair Em_ has been included in the Shakespeare -_Apocrypha_ on the strength of a volume formerly in the collection -of Charles II, and then in that of Garrick, in which it was bound -up with _Mucedorus_ and _The Merry Devil of Edmonton_ and lettered -‘Shakespeare, vol. i’. On the other hand, Edward Phillips, in his -_Theatrum Poetarum_ (1675), assigned it to Greene. Clearly Greene is -not the author, although there are certain resemblances of situation -between the play and _Friar Bacon_; for he satirizes it in the preface -to _Farewell to Folly_ (_Works_, ix. 232), quoting one or two of its -expressions and blaming them as borrowed out of Scripture. Of the -author he says, ‘He that cannot write true English without the help -of clerks of parish churches will needs make himself the father of -interludes’, and, ‘The sexton of St. Giles without Cripplegate would -have been ashamed of such blasphemous rhetoric’. _Farewell to Folly_ -seems to have appeared in 1591 (cf. s.v. Greene), and _Fair Em_ may -perhaps therefore be dated between this pamphlet and _Friar Bacon_ -(_c._ 1589). Simpson adopts the theory, which hardly deserves serious -discussion, of Shakespeare’s authorship. He finds numerous (but -impossible) attacks by Greene upon Shakespeare from the _Planetomachia_ -(1585) onwards, and thinks that Shakespeare retorted in _Fair Em_, -satirizing Greene as Manvile and Marlowe as Mountney, and depicting -himself as Valingford. ‘Fair Em’ herself is the Manchester stage. -In the story of William the Conqueror he finds an allusion to the -travels of William Kempe and other actors in Denmark and Saxony. Fleay, -_Shakespeare Manual_ (1878), 281, adopts much of this fantasy, but -turns ‘Fair Em’ into the Queen’s company and Valingford into Peele. -In 1891 (ii. 282) he makes ‘Fair Em’ Strange’s company. His minor -identifications, whether of 1878 or of 1891, may be disregarded. More -plausible is his suggestion that the author of the play may be Robert -Wilson (q.v.), which would explain the attack upon Greene (q.v.) for -his _Farewell to Folly_ in R. W.’s _Martin Mar-sixtus_ (1591). The -suggestion that the play was the _Sir John Mandeville_ revived by -Strange’s for Henslowe in 1592 rests on a confusion between Mandeville -and Manvile, but it may have been the _William the Conqueror_ similarly -revived by Sussex’s on 4 Jan. 1594 (Greg, _Henslowe_, ii. 151, 158). - - - _The Fair Maid of Bristow > 1604_ - -_S.

This praise of the ‘conueiance’ (which -I take to mean either ‘style’ or possibly ‘translation’) does not -suggest that M. A. (or A. M.) was the translator. It is true that ll. -224–41 appear in _England’s Helicon_ (1600) signed ‘Shep. Tonie’, and -that this signature is often taken to indicate Munday. On the other -hand, two lines of this passage also appear in _England’s Parnassus_ -(1600, ed. Crawford, 306) over the initials S. G., which suggest -Gosson. Another passage in _E. P._ (231) combines ll. 661–2 and 655–6 -of the play over the signature G. Chapman. This has led Crawford (_E. -S._ xliii. 203), with some support from Greg, to suggest Chapman’s -authorship. I do not think the suggestion very convincing, in view -of the inconsistency and general unreliability of _E. P._ and the -fact that Chapman’s first clear appearance as a writer is ten years -later, in 1594. The evidence is quite indecisive, but of Munday, -Chapman, Gosson, I incline to think Gosson the most likely candidate. -On the other hand, if M. R. is Matthew Roydon, he was the dedicatee -of poems by Chapman in 1594 and 1595. For M. A. I hardly dare guess -Matthew Arundel.

Parrott (1914, _Chapman_, ii).--_Dissertations_: G. L. -Kittredge, _Notes on Elizabethan Plays_ (1898, _J. G. P._ ii. 10); T. -M. Parrott, _The Authorship of S. G. G._ (1906, _M. P._ iv. 25). - -Bullen thought the author, who is stated in Perry’s epistle to be dead -in 1636, might be some imitator of Chapman. Fleay, ii. 322, suggests -Chapman himself. This view receives elaborate support from Parrott, -and appears very plausible. As ‘your greatest gallants, for men, in -France were here lately’ (III. i. 47) the date is after the visit of -Biron in Sept. 1601 and possibly after that of Nevers in April 1602. It -cannot be later than the beginning of 1603, as ‘She is the best scholar -of any woman, but one, in Europe’ (I. i. 140) points to Elizabeth’s -lifetime. Moreover, Dekker, in his _Wonderful Year_ of 1603 (Grosart, -i. 116), has ‘Galen could do no more good, than Sir Giles Goosecap’, -and though ‘goosecap’ is a known term for a booby, e.g. in Nashe’s -_Four Letters Confuted_ of 1592 (_Works_, i. 281), the play seems to -be responsible for the ‘Sir Giles’. The phrase ‘comparisons odorous’ -in IV. ii. 64 echoes _Much Ado_, III. v. 18. The later part of the -period 1601–3 would perhaps best fit the allusions to the Family of -Love (II. i. 263), as to which cf. s.v. Middleton’s play of that name, -and to the baboons (I. i. 11), the memory of which is still alive in -_Volpone_ (1606) and _Ram Alley_ (1607–8). Probably these had already -amused London before 1605, as on Oct. 5 of that year the Norwich -records (Murray, ii. 338) note that ‘This day John Watson ironmonger -brought the Kyngs maiesties warrant graunted to Roger Lawrence & the -deputacion to the seid Watson to shewe two beasts called Babonnes’. So, -too, Kelly, 247, has a Leicester payment of 1606 ‘to the M^r of the -Babons, lycensed to travell by the Kings warrant’. There is a story -of a country fellow who wanted to go to a market town ‘to haue seene -the Baboones’ as late as J. Taylor’s _Wit and Mirth_ in 1629 (Hazlitt, -_Jest Books_, iii. 43). Fleay’s identifications of Chapman himself with -Clarence and Drayton with Goosecap hardly deserve consideration. - - - _Grim the Collier of Croydon. 1600_ - -[Alleged prints of 1599 (Chetwood), 1600 (Ward, i. 263), and 1606 -(Jacob) probably rest on no authority.] - -1662.

Greg (_Henslowe_, ii. 213) regards the play -as clearly of the sixteenth century on internal evidence, and points -out that Henslowe, on behalf of the Admiral’s, paid Haughton 5s. on 6 -May 1600, ‘in earneste of a boocke which he wold calle the devell & his -dame’. The entry was subsequently cancelled, and presumably Haughton -transferred the play to another company. Sykes calls attention to -analogies with _Englishmen for my Money_, which confirm the probability -of Haughton’s authorship. It is only the ascription of 1662 to I. T. -which causes hesitation. Farmer (_Hand List_, 19) suggests that this -was John Tatham. Grim and the Devil both appear in the _Like Will to -Like_ of Ulpian Fulwell (q.v.), but I do not understand what kind of -indirect connexion Greg thinks may have existed between Haughton’s play -and a possible revival of Fulwell’s by Pembroke’s men in Oct. 1600. - - - _The Famous Victories of Henry the Fifth > 1588_ - -_S.

Halliwell for _Sh. Soc._ 24) is a story of -Knell acting Henry V and Tarlton doubling the parts of the judge and -the clown, which clearly refers to this play. The performance took -place ‘at the Bull in Bishopsgate’. Tarlton died in 1588. Fleay, -67; ii. 259, suggests that Tarlton was the author. Nashe in _Pierce -Penilesse_ (1592, _Works_, i. 213) speaks of ‘_Henrie_ the fifth -represented on the stage’. This is obviously too early to be the new -play of ‘harey the V’, given thirteen times for Henslowe between 28 -Nov. 1595 and 15 July 1596 by the Admiral’s, in whose inventories -of March 1598 Harry the Fifth’s doublet and gown appear. An earlier -Henslowe entry on 14 May 1592, sometimes quoted as ‘harey the v^{th}’ -by Collier, is really ‘harey the 6’ (Greg, _Henslowe_, ii. 152, 177; -_Henslowe Papers_, 121).

Hoppe, _Histriomastix-Studien_ -(1906, Breslau diss.). - -Fleay, ii. 69, gives the whole play to Marston, but the sounder view -of Simpson that Marston, whose style in places is unmistakable, was -only the reviser of an earlier play, is revived in the elaborate and -mainly satisfactory study of Small, 67. The passages assigned by Small -to Marston are ii. 63–9, 128–9, 247–79; iii. 179–v. 191; v. 234; vi. -259–95. I should be inclined to add v. 244–67, but to omit ii. 128–9; -iii. 218–64; iv. 159–201; v. 61–102; v. 147–180; vi. 259–95, which may -just as well belong to the original play. No doubt vi. 259–95 is an -addition, constituting an alternative ending for a court performance -before Elizabeth; but this may just as well have been a contemporary -as a Marstonian addition, and in fact there is no court performance at -the end of the century available for it, while the attempt to find one -led Fleay to the impossible theory that it was given by Derby’s men. -As its whole substance is a satire on professional players, it must -have been both produced and revived by amateurs or boys; and the same -conclusion is pointed to by the enormous number of characters. The -original matter is so full of the technical learning of the schools -as to suggest an academic audience; I think it was a University or -possibly an Inns of Court, not a choirboy, play. The theme is the -cyclical progression of a state through the stages Peace, Plenty, -Pride, Envy, War, Poverty, and Peace again. It is illustrated by the -fortunes of a company of players, who wax insolent in prosperity, and -when war comes, are pressed for soldiers. Their poet Posthaste is -clearly Munday and not, as Simpson and others have vainly imagined, -Shakespeare. With him is contrasted the scholar-poet, Chrisoganus, a -philosopher with whom the players will have nothing to do. He seems to -belong to the order of ideas connected with the scientific school of -Thomas Harriott. Small thinks that the date was 1596, when there was -scarcity of food, a persecution of players, and a pressing of men for -service against Spain; and that the author might be Chapman. Certainly -Chapman was an early admirer of Harriott. But I disagree as to the -date. The style seems to me to be that of Peele or some imitator, -the attitude to the players an academic reflection of the attacks of -Greene, and the political atmosphere that of the years following the -Armada, when the relief of peace was certainly not unbroken by fears of -renewed Spanish attempts. Impressment was not a device of 1596 alone. -The only notice of it known to me in which players are known to have -especially suffered is in an undated letter of Philip Gawdy, assigned -by his editor to 1602 (Gawdy, 121), ‘All the playe howses wer besett -in one daye and very many pressed from thence, so that in all ther -ar pressed ffowre thowsand besydes fyve hundred voluntaryes, and all -for flaunders’. This is too late for the _proto-Histriomastix_, and -probably also for the revival, but men were being pressed for foreign -service as early as 1585, and again in 1588 and possibly in 1589 and -1591 (Cheyney, i. 158, 197, 219, 255; _Procl._ 805, 809). As to the -revival, Small puts it definitely in August 1599, when a scare of a -Spanish invasion, which had lasted for a month, came to a crisis in -London on Aug. 7 (Stowe, _Annales_, 788; Chamberlain, 59; _Sydney -Papers_, ii. 113; _Hist. MSS._ xv, app. v, 66), and he thinks that the -words ‘The Spaniards are come!’ (v. 234) are an insertion of this date. -They are not ‘extra-metrical’, as Fleay says, for the passage is not -in metre. There had, however, been earlier scares, e.g. in Oct. 1595 -(_Sydney Papers_, i. 355; cf. Arber, iii. 55, 56) and in Oct. 1597 -(_Edmondes Papers_, 303). The date of 1599 would agree well enough with -the career of Marston, and with that of the Paul’s boys, to whom the -revival was probably due, although I do not agree with Small that it -was their court play of 1 Jan. 1601, because I see no evidence that the -court ending belongs to the revision. I take it that _Histriomastix_ -was one of the ‘musty fopperies of antiquity’ with which we learn -from _Jack Drum’s Entertainment_, v. 112, that the Paul’s boys began. -The revision leaves Posthaste untouched, save for the characteristic -Marstonian sneer of ‘goosequillian’ (iii. 187). Munday of course was -still good sport in 1599. But Chrisoganus is turned from a scientific -into a ‘translating’ scholar (ii. 63). I agree with Small that -Marston has given him Jonsonian traits, and that he intended to be -complimentary rather than the reverse. I do not know that it is -necessary to suppose that Jonson misunderstood this and took offence, -for the real offence was given by _Jack Drum’s Entertainment_ in the -next year. But certainly some of the ‘fustian’ words put in the mouth -of Clove in _Every Man Out of His Humour_, III. i. 177 sqq., later in -1599 come from _Histriomastix_, and their origin is pointed by the -phrase ‘as you may read in Plato’s Histriomastix’. One of the fragments -of plays recited by the players contains the lines (ii. 269): - - Come Cressida, my Cresset light, - Thy face doth shine both day and night; - Behold behold thy garter blue - Thy knight his valiant elbow wears, - That when he shakes his furious Speare - The foe in shivering fearful sort - May lay him down in death to snort. - -I am not convinced with Small that this belongs to the revision, even -though it seems discontinuous with the following fragment of a Prodigal -Child play. But in any case the hit at Shakespeare, if there really -is one, remains unexplained. There is nothing else which points to -so early a date as 1599 for his _Troilus and Cressida_. I note the -following parallel from S. Rowlands, _The Letting of Humors Blood in -the Head-Veine_ (1600), Sat. iv: - - Be thou the Lady Cressit-light to mee, - Sir Trollelolle I will proue to thee. - - - _The Honest Lawyer > 1615_ - -_S.

Presumably the author of _Greene’s Tu -Quoque_ (q.v.) is meant, with which Swaen, xiii, declares that the play -shows ‘absolutely no similarity or point of agreement’. Fleay, i. 289, -suggested an ascription to Heywood on the ground of parallelisms with -_The Wise Woman of Hogsdon_, and this case is elaborately and plausibly -argued by Swaen and Adams. The date must be before Worcester’s begin to -appear in Henslowe’s diary, 17 Aug. 1602.

McKerrow (1911, -_Materialien_, xxxiii). - -The play has come to light since the issue of _The Mediaeval Stage_, -and I therefore include it here, although it is pre-Elizabethan. The -characters are Peace, Envy, Impatient Poverty (afterwards Prosperity), -Conscience, Abundance, Misrule, ‘Collhasarde’, and a Summoner. -The drama is a moral, non-controversial, and not even necessarily -Protestant in tone. It sets out the mutability of the world and the -defects of poverty and prosperity. The scene is a ‘place’, and there -are allusions to Newgate and Tyburn. If the T. R. of the title-page -is the same whose name is at the end of _Nice Wanton_, the play is -probably not later than the reign of Edward VI; but the Summoner and -allusions to penance and courts spiritual suggest an even earlier date. -The final address to the ‘Soueraynes’ contains the following stanza: - - Let vs pray al to that lorde of great magnificence - To send amonge vs peace rest and vnyte - And Jesu preserue our soueraigne Quene of preclare preeminence - With al her noble consanguynyte - And to sende them grace so the yssue to obtayne - After them to rule this most chrysten realme. - -The form of the companion stanzas suggests that the two last lines -originally rhymed, and that a line has dropped out before them. -Possibly an ending originally meant for Henry VIII and Jane Seymour -has been altered with a view to making it appropriate to Elizabeth. -The play is offered with other pre-Elizabethan plays by the company in -_Sir Thomas More_, IV. i. 42, and was also in the obsolete library of -Captain Cox (_Robert Laneham’s Letter_, ed.

Farmer -(1912, _T. F. T._). - -All critics have recognized the style as Marston’s and some of the -vocabulary is vomited in _Poetaster_; cf. Small, 93. The date is fixed -to 1600 by allusions to hopes of ‘peace with Spaine’, ‘Kemps morice’, -and ‘womens yeare’ (i. 37, 45, 166). There is little doubt that the -critical Brabant Senior is Jonson, and that the play is that in which -he told Drummond that Marston staged him. The cuckolding of Brabant -Senior is based upon a story narrated by Jonson to Drummond (Laing, 21) -as one in which he had played the active, not the passive, part. If he -had imparted the same story to Marston, he not unnaturally resented -the use made of it. The minor identifications suggested by Fleay, ii. -74, have nothing to commend them, except possibly that of Sir Edward -Fortune with Edward Alleyn, who was building the Fortune in 1600. Were -not this a Paul’s play, one might infer from the closing line, - - Our _Fortune_ laughes, and all content abounds, - -that it was given at the Fortune. Can the Admiral’s have shared it -with Paul’s, as the Chamberlain’s shared _Satiromastix_? In iv. 37–48 -Brabant Senior criticizes three ‘moderne wits’ whom he calls ‘all apes -and guls’ and ‘vile imitating spirits’. They are Mellidus, Musus, and -Decius. I take them to be Marston, Middleton, and Dekker, all writers -for Paul’s; others take Decius for Drayton, to whom Sir John Davies -applied the name, and Musus, by a confusion with Musaeus, for Chapman -or Daniel.

A reference -to the jubilee of 1600 (I. i. 25) points to a date at the beginning -of the seventeenth century. If so, the play cannot be that revived -by Strange’s for Henslowe in Feb. 1592 and given, sometimes under the -title of _Don Horatio_, and sometimes under that of the _Comedy of -Jeronimo_, during a run of, and several times on the night before, the -_Spanish Tragedy_ (Greg, _Henslowe_, ii. 150, 154). It is, moreover, -not a comedy. It may, however, be a later version of the same theme, -motived by another revival of the _Spanish Tragedy_ by the Admiral’s -in 1601–2. If so, it was probably itself due, not to the Admiral’s, -but to the Chamberlain’s, and a piracy of their property by the Revels -boys explains the jest at ‘Ieronimo _in decimo sexto_’ in the induction -to the 1604 version of Marston’s _Malcontent_.

R. entry (Greg, _Henslowe_, -ii. 162). As the play is not named in the Sussex’s repertory of 1593–4, -there is a presumption that it belonged to the Queen’s. The authorship -is quite obscure. Fleay, 90, assigns it to Lodge and Peele; Fleay, 97, -to Lodge and Greene; Fleay, ii. 51, to Lodge and Kyd. Robertson, 176, -thinks the claim for Lodge indecisive, and surmises the presence of -Greene. Sykes argues for Peele. Lee hints at Rankins. The publishing -history is also difficult. The entries of 1605 appear to ignore -White’s copyright, although this was still alive in his son’s widow -in 1624. Lee suggests that the Stafford-Wright enterprise was due to -negotiation between Wright and White, whose apprentice he had been. The -play was clearly regarded as distinct from that of Shakespeare, which -was entered to N. Butter and J. Busby on 22 Nov. 1607, and it, though -based on its predecessor, is far more than a revision of it. It seems -a little improbable that _Leire_ should have been revived as late as -1605, and the ‘Tragecall’ and ‘lately acted’ of the title-page, taken -by themselves, would point to an attempt by Stafford to palm off the -old play as Shakespeare’s. But although 1605 is not an impossible date -for Shakespeare’s production, 1606 is on other grounds more probable. - - - _Liberality and Prodigality. 1601_ - -1602.

Elizabeth -could be described as a ‘prince’, so that the use of this term does not -bear out Fleay, ii. 323, in assuming a revival of an Edwardian play, -but the characters are mainly abstract and the style archaic for the -seventeenth century, and it is conceivable that the _Prodigality_ -of 1567–8 had been revived. - - - _Locrine c. 1591_ - -_S.

Harper, _L. and the Faerie -Queene_ (1913, _M.L.R._ viii. 369). - -The interpretation of the W. S. of the title-page in F_{3} of 1664 as -indicating Shakespeare may be accurate, but does not suggest anything -more than revision for a revival, or perhaps only for the press. Some -revision is proved by the allusion in the epilogue to Elizabeth, - - That eight and thirtie yeares the scepter swayd, - -an allusion which was not chronologically accurate until the close of -the thirty-eighth regnal year on 16 Nov. 1596, after the play was in -print, and could hardly have been made before the beginning of that -year on 17 Nov. 1595, after it had been entered in S. R. As to the -original author, one is bound to be sceptical of the unconfirmed notice -by J. P. Collier (_Bibliographical Account_, i. 95) of an ‘inscription -on an existing copy of the play ... assigning the authorship of it to -Charles Tylney’. This, says Collier, ‘is the handwriting of Sir George -Buck. He adds the information that he himself had written the dumb -shows by which it was illustrated, and that it was originally called -_Elstrild_’. Charles Tilney was a cousin of the Master of the Revels, -and was executed for complicity in the Babington plot in 1586 (Camden, -_transl._ 303). The statement, if true, would give an early date to -the play, which the dumb shows and other ‘Senecan’ characteristics -have been supposed to confirm. Fleay, ii. 321, boldly conjectures that -the epilogue originally referred to ‘eight and twentie yeares’, and -that the play was ‘by’ in the sense of ‘about’, Tilney, supposing the -moral drawn against ‘ciuill discord’ instigated by ‘priuate amours’ -to point at Mary of Scots. Recent investigations, however, concerning -the relations of the play to Spenser on the one hand, and to _Selimus_ -(q.v.) on the other, suggest a date not earlier and not much later -than 1591, either for the original composition of the play, or for a -very substantial revision of it. Most of the points are well summed up -by Cunliffe in _C. H._ v. 84. _Locrine_ may borrow historical facts -from the _Faerie Queene_ (1590); it does not borrow phrases from it. -It does, however, borrow phrases and whole lines, with more than -Elizabethan plagiarism, from Spenser’s _Complaints_ (1591). There is -also an apparent loan from Wilmot’s _Tancred and Gismund_ (1591). -Some of the _Complaints_ passages are also borrowed by _Selimus_, -which makes similar booty both of _Locrine_ itself and of the _Faerie -Queene_. I agree with Cunliffe that the evidence is clearly in favour -of _Selimus_ being the later of the two plays, but am not so certain -that the second borrowing of the _Complaints_ passages tells against -a common authorship of the two. It would be so, ordinarily, but here -we have to do with an abnormal plagiarist. Whoever the author, he -belongs to the school of the university wits. Marlowe is preferred by -Malone, Peele by Fleay, Ward, Gaud, and for all but the comic scenes by -Hopkinson, Greene by Brooke, Peele and Greene by Robertson. - - - _The London Prodigal. 1603 < > 05_ - -1605.

The play ought itself to appear somewhere in Henslowe’s diary, -and Fleay may be right in identifying it with the _Bear a Brain_ of -1599, although the only recorded payment for that play was not to -Wadeson, but to Dekker.

On 30 Dec. 1582 Derby’s players performed _A History of -Love and Fortune_ at court, for which a city and battlement were -provided by the Revels office. If the two plays were identical, as -dates and style make not improbable, the city presumably served as a -background for the scenes at court, while the battlement was used for -the presenters Venus and Fortune, who are said in Act I to be ‘set -sunning like a crow in a gutter’. - - - _Love Feigned and Unfeigned_ (?) - -[_MS._] On first and last leaves (sig. a 1 and ii. 8 of a copy (Brit. -Mus.

Warner -thinks the hand ‘quite early seventeenth century’. The corrections in -the same hand are such as rather to suggest an original composition, -but may also be those of an expert copyist. Miss Daw thinks that the -date of composition was in the seventeenth century, and that the play -represents ideas belonging to (_a_) the Anabaptists and (_b_) the -Family of Love, both of which were then active. She even suggests the -possible authorship of the controversialist Edmond Jessop. Personally, -I find it difficult to assign to the seventeenth century a moral -written precisely in the vein of the middle of the sixteenth century, -even to the notes (2, 69, 103) of action ‘in place’ (cf. ch. xix), and -a phrase (76), - - Why stare ye at me thus I wene ye be come to se a play, - -closely parallel to _Wit and Wisdom_, 12, which is probably -pre-Elizabethan.

Daniel, with Lyly as reviser, is -substituted by Fleay, ii. 324; Day by Gosse and Bullen; Day, with Lyly -as reviser, by Bond. A limit of date is given by the reopening of -Paul’s in 1599, and IV. i. 157 points to the ‘leape yeare’ 1600. Fleay -thinks that the play was performed at Anne Russell’s wedding on 16 June -1600 (cf. ch. V), but, though ‘three or foure Muses’ dance at the end -of the play, there is no indication of a mask, while the accounts of -the wedding say nothing of a play. - - - _The Marriage of Wit and Science > 1570_ - -_S.

On f. 3 is the argument in English of a play headed: - - Children of Paules Play. - Publij Ovidij Nasonis Meleager. - -Presumably the play was in English also.

The attempt of Fleay, ii. 313 (cf. his _Shakespeare_, 294), to -show that Sir John the priest was originally called Oldcastle and gave -a name to the play is too far-fetched, but it leads him to support a -tradition originally based on a note by Coxeter (_Dodsley_^2, v. 247) -that the author was Drayton. He puts it in 1597, apparently because -Jessica calls Lancelot a ‘merry devil’ in _M. V._ II. iii. 2. But the -Host is pretty clearly copied from him of the _Merry Wives_ (_c._ -1599), and allusions to the king’s hunting (IV. i. 158, 186), although -perhaps merely part of the historic action, might also have been -topical under James I. The play existed by 1604, when it is mentioned -in T. M.’s _Black Book_ (Bullen, _Middleton_, viii. 36).

P._ iii. 335). - -Brandl, following Collier, ii. 368, 378, dates the play in 1560, on the -ground of an allusion in IV. i. 131 to ‘the rising rection ith north’, -i.e. the Pilgrimage of Grace of 1536, as twenty-four years before the -time of action, but it is not quite clear that the rambling dialogue -of rustics, in which the passage occurs, justifies the interpretation -put upon it; nor is the allusion in III. ii. 3 to the weathercock of -Paul’s, set up in 1553 and destroyed in 1561, any more conclusive, as -the phrase may have become proverbial. The style might be either of -_c._ 1560 or, in a provincial play, of _c._ 1577, or, as Bond suggests, -a reviser of _c._ 1577 might have revised a text of ten or twelve years -earlier. For author, Fleay, 16, 58, 60, taking the piece to be that -disliked at court on 31 Dec. 1559, offered Richard Edwardes, and is -followed by Wallace, i. III. There is nothing to suggest that the play -was ever performed at court at all. It seems more natural to look for -him, either in the Thomas Richards or in the Laurence Barjona of the -MS. Conceivably Richards might be the T. R. whose initials appear on -the prints of _Impatient Poverty_ and _Nice Wanton_ (cf. _Mediaeval -Stage_, ii. 460) in 1560. Barjona might be the name of a converted Jew. -But Kittredge regards it as an anagram of Johnson, and points out that -a Laurence Johnson matriculated at Christ’s College, Cambridge, in -1570, and took his B.A. in 1574 and his M.A. in 1577, while a Thomas -Richards of Trinity took his B.A. in 1571, and a Thomas Ward of Jesus -in 1580. A reference to Cambridge learning (III. iii. 74) does not, of -course, go far to prove Cambridge authorship. Anyway, the Barjona of -the title-page is probably the ‘Laur. Bariona’ who signed, also from -Kettering, the epistle to a book called _Cometographia_ on 20 Jan. -1579. It is the work of an Anglican; not therefore of the Laurence -Johnson, who was an Oxford Jesuit. I can add a few facts. A Laurence -Jonson, with one Chr. Balam and George Haysyll of Cambridge, made a -complaint through Lord North to the queen against the Bishop of Ely -in Dec. 1575 (_S. P. D. Eliz._ cv. 88). This is interesting, because -George Haysell of Wisbech was apparently one of Worcester’s players -(cf. ch. xiii) in 1583. There is also a Laurence Johnson who on 12 June -1572 wrote to Lord Burghley about his service in the Mint (_S. P.

The -character of the damp stains on the two MSS. shows that they must for -some time have lain together. Two passages of the original text have -disappeared, and six passages have been inserted, on fresh leaves or -slips, to replace these and other cancelled matter. One of these leaves -appears to have been misplaced. Greg finds seven distinct hands: (_a_) -the writer of the original text, whom he has now identified (_M. L. R._ -viii. 89) with Munday; (_b_) five contributors to the insertions, of -whom one appears also to have acted as a playhouse corrector, another -(writing 30 lines) seems clearly to be Dekker, and a third (writing 148 -lines) has been taken (v. _infra_) for Shakespeare; (_c_) the Master -of the Revels, Edmund Tilney, who has given some directions as censor, -of which the most important, at the beginning, runs: ‘Leaue out the -insurrection wholy & the Cause ther off & begin with S^r Tho: Moore att -the mayors sessions with a reportt afterwardes off his good service don -being Shriue off London vppon a mutiny Agaynst the Lumbardes only by -A shortt reporte & nott otherwise att your own perrilles E.

Although therefore the appearance -of an actor’s name in a s.d. suggests that the play was cast for -performance, it is not likely that it was actually performed, at any -rate in its present state.] - -_Editions_ by A.

S._ 30 June, 4 -Aug.). - -The play has been dated _c._ 1586 and _c._ 1596, in both of which -years there were disturbances with some analogy to the ‘Ill May Day’ -of the plot, and an early date has been regarded as favoured by -mentions (ll. 1006, 1148) of Oagle a wigmaker, since men of the name -were serving the Revels Office in this and similar capacities from -1571 to 1585 (Feuillerat, _Eliz., passim_), and by the appearance -as a messenger in a stage-direction (Greg, p. 89) of T. Goodal, an -actor traceable with Berkeley’s men in 1581 and with the Admiral’s or -Strange’s in the plot of _The Seven Deadly Sins_, _c._ 1590–1. But -Goodal may have acted much longer, and the Admiral’s men had business -relations with a ‘Father Ogell’ in Feb. 1600 (Greg, _Henslowe_, ii. -300). Greg, after comparing Munday’s script in the play with other and -better datable examples of that script, inclines to put it ‘between -1596 and 1602, say 1598–1600’, and Sir E. M. Thompson, on a further -review of the same evidence, suggests 1592 or 1593. This, however, -involves putting the MS. of _John a Kent and John a Cumber_ (cf. ch. -xxiii, s.v. Munday) back to 1590, which, although palaeographically -possible, is inconsistent with evidence pointing to its production -by the Admiral’s in 1594. Certain parallels with _Julius Caesar_ and -_Hamlet_ might suggest the latter part of the possible period, although -the parallel suggested by Schücking with Fletcher’s _The Tamer Tamed_ -is too slight to bear out his date of 1605–8, and the attempt of Fleay -(ii. 312; _Shakespeare_, 292) to identify the play with the _Abuses_ of -Paul’s in 1606 is guess-work. Jonson’s apparent debt to _S. T. M._ in -_Bartholomew Fair_, pointed out by Baskervill, is also in favour of a -latish date. Obviously the mention of ‘Mason among the Kings players’ -(l. 1151) does not prove a Jacobean date, as Henry VIII had players. -No actor of the name in either reign is known, although an Alexander -Mason was marshal of the royal minstrels in 1494 (Collier, i. 45). -Account must be taken of the support given by Sir E. M. Thompson to the -theory of R. Simpson and Spedding that three of the added pages are in -the hand of Shakespeare. This is based on a minute comparison with the -few undoubted fragments, almost entirely signatures, of Shakespeare’s -writing. Both hands use ‘the native English script’ and are ‘of an -ordinary type’, without marked individual character ‘to any great -extent’, although slight peculiarities, such as ‘the use of the fine -upstroke as an ornamental adjunct to certain letters’, are common to -them. The demonstration would have been more convincing had the hands -been less ‘ordinary’, but Sir E. M. Thompson’s authority is great, -and some support is furnished by P. Simpson from the character of the -punctuation in the addition, and by J. D. Wilson from some orthographic -resemblances to the more reliable Shakespearian quartos. Sir E. M. -Thompson’s views are criticized in G. Greenwood, _Shakespeare’s -Handwriting_ (1920). If Shakespeare was the author, the analogies -between the matter of the addition and the Jack Cade scenes of _Henry -VI_ would be in favour of an earlier date, if that were possible, than -1596 or even 1594, although I should not like to be committed to the -view that Shakespeare might not have scribbled the fragment at any -time in the sixteenth century. On a balance of the mixed literary and -palaeographical evidence before us, the safest guess seems to be 1596. -As to the rest of the authorship, Dr. Greg’s discoveries point to -Munday, with some help from Dekker. Fleay’s argument (_Sh._ 292) for -Lodge and Drayton is flimsy. If Shakespeare had a share, the company -was probably the Chamberlain’s.

The conjecture of Fleay (ii. -50; _Shakespeare_, 303) that the additions date from 1606 was -largely based on a guess that they appeared in the Q. of 1606, which -he had not seen. The added or altered passages are the prologue; i. -1, 2; iv. 1; parts of v. 2; and the final lines of the induction. The -prologue wishes James security - - From blemisht Traytors, stayn’d with Periurie. - -A bear is introduced in i. 2, as in _W. T._ iii. 3, and I venture to -conjecture that both episodes were inspired by the successful bear in -Jonson’s _Mask of Oberon_ on 1 Jan. 1611, to which there is also an -allusion in his _Love Restored_ of 6 Jan. 1612. If so, the revival -must have been on Shrove Sunday, 3 Feb. 1611. In I. i. 50 Anselmo says -that he was a shepherd in ‘Lord Iulios Maske’. _Oberon_, however, had -no shepherds proper, only satyrs and sylvans. The induction is altered -to compliment James instead of Elizabeth, and the following dialogue -between Comedie and Envie is introduced: - - _Envie._ Comedie, thou art a shallow Goose; - Ile ouerthrow thee in thine owne intent, - And make thy fall my Comick merriment. - - _Comedie._ Thy pollicie wants grauitie; thou art - Too weake. Speake, Fiend, as how? - - _Env._ Why, thus: - From my foule Studie will I hoyst a Wretch, - A leane and hungry Meager Canniball, - Whose iawes swell to his eyes with chawing Malice: - And him Ile make a Poet. - - _Com._ What’s that to th’ purpose? - - _Env._ This scrambling Rauen, with his needie Beard, - Will I whet on to write a Comedie, - Wherein shall be compos’d darke sentences, - Pleasing to factious braines: - And euery other where place me a Iest, - Whose high abuse shall more torment then blowes: - Then I my selfe (quicker then Lightning) - Will flie me to a puisant Magistrate, - And waighting with a Trencher at his backe, - In midst of iollitie, rehearse those gaules, - (With some additions) - So lately vented in your Theator. - He, vpon this, cannot but make complaint, - To your great danger, or at least restraint. - - _Com._ Ha, ha, ha! I laugh to hear thy folly; - This is a trap for Boyes, not Men, nor such, - Especially desertfull in their doinges, - Whose stay’d discretion rules their purposes. - I and my faction do eschew those vices. - -Fleay, with 1606 in his mind, finds here an apology for _The Fox_, -thinking Jonson the raven and _Eastward Hoe_ the ‘trap for Boyes’. In -1610 there had been no trouble about any London play, although one in -Lincolnshire had given offence. But a careful reading of the passage -will show that it is no apology at all, but a boast, and an attack upon -informers against the stage. - -As the play had been in print since 1598, it must not be assumed -that, because the King’s revived it in 1610–11, it was originally a -Chamberlain’s play. It may have belonged to the Queen’s or some other -extinct company. Evidently it was a popular play, as the number of -editions shows. _K. B. P._ ind. 91 tells us that Ralph has ‘play’d ... -Musidorus before the Wardens of our Company’. - -The ascription to Shakespeare is due to Archer’s list of 1656 (Greg, -_Masques_, xci) and to the inclusion of the play with _Fair Em_ and -_The Merry Devil of Edmonton_ in a volume in Charles II’s library, -lettered ‘Shakespeare, vol. i’ (_Variorum_, ii. 682). It now receives -little support, even as regards the added passages. Greene is preferred -as the original author by Malone and Hopkinson, Peele by von Friesen, -and Lodge by Fleay. - -After the suppression of the theatres in 1642, _Mucedorus_ was acted -by strolling players in various parts of Oxfordshire. An accident -during a performance at Witney on 3 Feb. 1654 is recorded in John Rowe, -_Tragi-Comoedia. Being a brieff relation of the strange and wonderful -hand of God, discovered at Witney in the Comedy acted February the -third, where there were some slaine, many hurt and several other -remarkable passages_ (1653/4). - -Either _Mucedorus_ or Greene’s _Alphonsus_ (q.v.) may have been the -play on a king of Arragon given at Dresden in 1626. It has also been -suggested (Herz, 95) that _Mucedorus_ influenced Pieter Hooft’s Dutch -pastoral _Granida_ (1605). - - - _Narcissus. 6 Jan. 1603_ - -[_MS._] _Bodl. MS._ 147303 (_Rawl. Poet.

Fleay -also says that the _Nugize_ of Captain Cox’s collection (Laneham, 30) -is _Mankind_ (_Med.

Bolte (1894, _Jahrbuch_, xxix. -4).--_Dissertation_: J. Bolte, _Eine Hamburger Aufführung von N. a. S._ -(1905, _Jahrbuch_, xli. 188). - -The play is probably Jacobean. There is a reference to the unwilling -recipients of knighthood (l. 325), and the use of Essex’s nickname -for Cobham, Sycophant, as the name of a courtier, must be later than -Cobham’s disgrace in 1603. Simpson thought that an allusion to the -misuse of the collections for rebuilding Paul’s steeple (l. 754) -pointed to an original date _c._ 1592, when the matter caused a -scandal, but the steeple was still unbuilt in James’s reign. Greg, -_Henslowe_, ii. 230, revising a conjecture of Fleay, i. 293, suggests -that _Albere Galles_, written by Heywood and Smith for Worcester’s -in Sept. 1602, may be this play, and Henslowe’s title a mistake for -_Archigallo_, one of the characters. The play seems to have reached -Germany by 1608. A performance at Graz in that year was probably -the occasion of the dedication by ‘Joannes Grün Nob. Anglus’ to the -archduke Maximilian of a manuscript German translation, now in the -Rein library. To it is attached a coloured drawing of a bearded man in -a doublet which hides his breeches, and with a book and chain in his -hands.

Plays_ (1915, _M. L. R._ x. 162). - -There are several notes of time and authorship. At the end of 1, -which was ‘three daies studie’ (l. 3), the pilgrimage has lasted ‘4 -yeares’ (712). Kinsader’s, i.e. Marston’s, _Satires_ and Bastard’s -_Epigrams_, both of 1598, are mentioned (212). The prologue to 2, -which is a ‘Christmas toy’ (18), deprecates the former courtesy of ‘our -stage’: - - Surelie it made our poet a staide man, - Kept his proude necke from baser lambskins weare, - Had like to have made him senior sophister. - He was faine to take his course by Germanie - Ere he could gett a silie poore degree. - Hee never since durst name a peece of cheese, - Thoughe Chessire seems to priviledge his name. - His looke was never sanguine since that daye; - Nere since he laughte to see a mimick playe. - -It is now seven years since the scholars started for Parnassus (62). -Gullio has been ‘verie latelie in Irelande’ and ‘scapt knightinge’ -(878), obviously with Essex in 1599. The _Epigrams_ (1599) of ‘one -Weaver fellow’, i.e. John Weever, are alluded to (982). The prologue to -3, also a ‘Christenmas toy’ (30), calls it ‘an old musty show, that -hath laine this twelue moneth in the bottome of a coalehouse’ (25). -‘The Authors wit’ (48) has stood ‘hammering upon ... 2 schollers some -foure (1606, whole) yeare’ (37). This is the third play of a series -(76): - - In Scholers fortunes twise forlorne and dead - Twise hath our weary play earst laboured. - Making them Pilgrims to Pernassus hill, - Then penning their return with ruder quill. - -_Belvedere_ (1600) is published (179) and Nashe is dead (314). The -Dominical letters are C, or for the Annunciation year D and C (1105), -and the moon is in ‘the last quarter the 5 day, at 2 of the cloke and -38 minuts in the morning’ (1133). These indications fit Jan. 1602 -(Lühr, 15, 105). The siege of Ostend, which extended from 1601 to -1604, has begun (1333). Jonson has ‘brought vp Horace giving the Poets -a pill’ (1811), and Kempe is back ‘from dancing the morrice over the -Alpes’ (1823). Both events took place in 1601. It is still Elizabeth’s -reign (1141). - -A quite clear conclusion as to date is not possible. The calendar -references, the four years of hammering (in 3), and the probability -that the writer would try to have his allusions to literary events up -to date, suggest performances at the Christmases of 1598–9, 1599–1600, -and 1601–2. This allows for a twelve-months’ delay, followed by a good -deal of revision, in the performance of 3. On the other hand, the -difference between four (in 1) and seven (in 2) years of pilgrimage -points to 1598–9, 1601–2, and 1602–3. On the whole, I lean to the first -alternative. - -So far as we know, the association of Kempe with the Chamberlain’s men -was out of date either in 1601 or 1602; conceivably he returned to the -company for a while in 1601, but he was certainly of Worcester’s in -1602. - -Moore Smith thinks that the ‘ruder quill’ of the prologue to 3 implies -that the author of 2 and 3 was distinct from the author of 1. But the -same prologue speaks clearly of a single author. Hales took the account -of his troubles in getting his degree literally, and pointed out that -foreign students at German universities were called ‘Käsebettler’ -and ‘Käsejäger’. Moore Smith doubts, and thinks the degree may have -been given at Cambridge by the influence of William Holland, senior -fellow of St. John’s, and his name glanced at in ‘Germanie’. The -absence alike of matriculation books and college admission registers -for the period makes identification difficult. Corney found a copy -of the print of 3 with the inscription ‘To my Lovinge Smallocke J. -D.’, which he thought in the same hand as the _Lansdowne MS._ of John -Day’s _Peregrinatio Scholastica_. Bullen was inclined to support -Day’s authorship on internal grounds, but Day was a Caius man, whose -university career closed in disgrace, and is not very likely to have -written plays for St. John’s some years later. And it is but a slight -connexion with Cheshire that ‘dey’ means ‘dairy’ in the dialect of that -county. Cheshire ought to be our clue. Charles Chester was not, so far -as I know, a writer. Hales seems to have thought that the theatrical -Beestons of London may have been connected with the Cheshire family of -that name. There was a Cheshire foundation at St. John’s, and Moore -Smith cites a suggestion that the author may have been William Dodd, a -Cheshire man, who became Scholar of St. John’s in 1597, B.A. in 1599, -and Fellow in 1602. The ‘priviledge’ reminds me of the traditional -jurisdiction of the Dutton family over minstrelsy in Cheshire -(_Mediaeval Stage_, ii. 259), but I do not know whether any Dutton can -be traced at St. John’s. - -In i. 2 of 3 Judicio is exercising the occupation of a ‘corrector -of the presse’, apparently in the employment of a particular -printing-house, not of the licensing authorities. The house would be -Danter’s, who is himself introduced in i. 3 bargaining with Ingenioso -to give him 40s. for a pamphlet. In iv. 3 Burbage and Kempe appear, and -here is the famous passage in which Kempe says: - - ‘Few of the vniuersity men pen plaies well, they smell too much - of that writer _Ouid_, and that writer _Metamorphosis_, and - talke too much of _Proserpina & Iuppiter_. Why heres our fellow - _Shakespeare_ puts them all downe, I and _Ben Ionson_ too. O - that _Ben Ionson_ is a pestilent fellow, he brought vp Horace - giuing the Poets a pill, but our fellow _Shakespeare_ hath giuen - him a purge that made him beray his credit.’ - -Fleay, _Shakespeare_, 221, suggests that the ‘purge’ was the -description of Ajax in _Troilus and Cressida_, I. ii. 15, and is -supported by Small, 167. If so, it was very irrelevant to its setting. -The purge ought to be _Satiromastix_, and though there is nothing to -indicate that Shakespeare had any responsibility for _Satiromastix_, it -is just conceivable that a Cambridge man, writing before the play was -assigned to Dekker in print, may have thought that he had. The allusion -is clearly to Shakespeare as a writer, or one might have thought that -he acted Horace-Jonson in _Satiromastix_. - -Especially in 3, the writer is much occupied with contemporary -literature, but this does not justify the slap-dash attempt of Fleay, -ii. 347, to identify nearly all his characters with individual literary -men. They are, of course, not individuals, but types, and types -of university men. The most that can be said is that there may be -something of Marston in Furor Poeticus, and a good deal of Nashe, with -probably also a little of Greene, in Ingenioso, who ultimately takes -flight, with Furor and Phantasma, to the Isle of Dogs (v. 3, 4): - - There where the blattant beast doth rule and raigne - Renting the credit of whom ere he please. - - - _Il Pastor Fido > 1601_ - -_S.

Internal -evidence points to an author who was an Oxford man, and familiar with -the plays of Shakespeare. Middleton is preferred by Fleay, ii. 92, -Bullen (_Middleton_, i. lxxix), and others; Marston by Brooke, who -dwells on a general resemblance to _Eastward Hoe_, and seems inclined -to think that Jonson, whose _Bartholomew Fair_ the play foreshadows, -might also have contributed.

Keller concludes from a study of parallel -passages that it was known to Shakespeare, and that the author knew -Marlowe’s _Edward II_ and _2 Henry VI_. This gives a date of about -1592–5. Fleay, ii. 320, dates the play about 1591 and assigns it, for -no apparent reason, to the Queen’s men. Boas accepts the date 1590–5 -on internal evidence, but finds the names ‘George’ and ‘Toby’ in the -stage-directions as players of servants’ parts, and supposes the MS. -to belong to a seventeenth-century revival and to have been collected -with others in _Egerton MS._ 1994 by the younger William Cartwright, -who was one of a late King’s Revels company traceable during 1629–37 -(Murray, i. 279). He identifies ‘George’, rather hazardously, with -George Stutfield, who belonged to this company, and ‘Toby’ with an -Edward Tobye, who is not known to have belonged to it, but is found in -1623 among the Children of the Revels to the late Queen Anne (Murray, -i. 361; ii. 273). My difficulty about this is that the relation of _1 -Rich. II_ to Shakespeare’s play is so close as to make it natural to -regard it as having become a Chamberlain’s play, and therefore unlikely -to get into the hands of either of these Revels companies. Any company -might have a George. George Bryan, for example, is a possibility. Toby, -no doubt, is a rarer name.

Fleay, 64, dates it about 1587: in ii. 28 he says -‘1586 or late in 1585’ as a ballad on the subject was entered on the -Stationers’ Register on 15 Aug. 1586; in ii. 315 he prefers 1591, -regarding the play as a continuation of _The Contention between York -and Lancaster_. He considers a later date as excluded by the close of -the court career of the Queen’s men in 1591. This, however, did not -close until 1594, and the epilogue was not necessarily given at court. -Churchill also thinks the play a continuation of the _Contention_, -and finds influences, not very striking, of Marlowe’s _Tamburlaine_, -_Faustus_, and _Edward II_.

The presence of a second literary -corrector is just possible. On the verso of the last leaf Buck has -written: ‘This second Maydens tragedy (for it hath no name inscribed) -may w^{th} the reformations bee acted publikely. 31 octob^r. 1611. G. -Buc.’ In later hands are the title ‘The Second Maydens Tragedy’ at -the beginning, and a note following Buck’s endorsed licence, which -originally ran, ‘The Second Maydens Tragedy October 31^{th} 1611 By -Thomas Goffe A Tragedy indeed’. Here Goffe’s name has been cancelled, -and two successive correctors have substituted, firstly, ‘George -Chapman’, and then ‘By Will Shakspear’. Warburton’s hand is not -discernible, and the last correction was probably made after his time, -as his list of manuscript plays (3 _Library_, ii. 232) includes ‘2^d. -p^t. Maidens Trag̃. Geo.

N._ xxvii. -33). - -The play may be assigned to the King’s men, in view of stage-directions -to ll. 1724, 1928, which show that ‘M^r Goughe’ played Memphonius and -‘Rich Robinson’ the Lady. Perhaps this also explains the ascription -of authorship to Thomas Goffe, which, like those to Chapman and -Shakespeare, now finds no favour. Tieck, who translated the play in -his _Shakespeare’s Vorschule_ (1829, ii), argued for Massinger, whose -lost _Tyrant_ he took the play to be. No doubt the chief character -is only entitled ‘Tyrant’ in the manuscript. But the _Tyrant_ has a -separate existence both in S. R. and in Warburton’s list. Fleay, ii. -331, thought that the title was originally meant to be _The Usurping -Tyrant_, and that the play was by the author of _The Revenger’s -Tragedy_, generally assigned to Tourneur.

G. of the 1638 title-page is probably meant for Thomas Goffe, -the author of contemporary plays on Turkish history. He, however, was -only born in 1591. Six passages from the play are assigned to Greene in -R[obert] A[llot’s] _England’s Parnassus_ (1600). This is fairly strong -evidence, and Greene’s authorship is supported by Grosart, Brooke (_Sh. -Apocrypha_, xix), and Gilbert. Ward and Gayley (_R. E. C._ i. 420) take -the opposite view. Crawford, who points out (_E. P._ xxxv, 407) that -Allot is not impeccable, prefers Marlowe. Fleay, ii. 315, would divide -the play between Greene and Lodge. The problem is bound up with that -of the authorship of _Locrine_ (q.v.), from which _Selimus_ clearly -borrows. It can therefore hardly be of earlier date than 1591.

There are -allusions to ‘the Theatre fields’ (611) and ‘her Majesty’ (752), which -may only represent historic time. Although Sebastian of Portugal is -a character, there is no reference to the legend of his survival, -which was well known in England in 1598. Simpson regards the play as -belonging to the Chamberlain’s, on the ground of certain political -proclivities which he chose to ascribe to that company. The text is -incoherent, and several theories representing it as a contamination of -two distinct plays have been promulgated. Simpson supposed that part of -a play on Don Antonio has been inserted into one dealing in five acts -with Stukeley’s adventures in England, Ireland, Spain, Rome, and Africa -respectively, and this view is elaborated by Oliphant, who attempts -to disentangle several original and revising hands, including that of -John Fletcher, to whom he assigns 245–335. Fleay, i. 127, thinks that -Dekker made up the play for Paul’s, _c._ 1600, out of _Stewtley_ and -a _Mahomet_ by Peele. Apparently he starts from _Satiromastix_, 980, -where Horace says that Demetrius Fannius ‘cut an innocent Moore i’ the -middle, to serue him in twice; & when he had done, made Poules-worke of -it’.

The play -was produced as ‘n. e.’ by the same company on 6 May 1596, but probably -Henslowe’s ‘n. e.’ in this case only indicates a substantial revision, -as the letters are also attached to the notice of a performance of Part -ii on 11 June 1596, and Part ii had already been played as ‘n. e.’ -by Strange’s on 28 April 1592.

Furnivall (1886, _Sh. Q_), F. S. Boas (1908, _Sh. -Classics_), and J. S. Farmer (_S. F.

Presumably it belonged to the Chamberlain’s, who -had acquired it from Pembroke’s, and the 1594 performance may have been -either of the original, or of Shakespeare’s revision, _The Taming of -The Shrew_, for which 1594 is a plausible date. An early reference to -the printed book is in Harington’s _Metamorphosis of Ajax_ (1596), 95, -‘For the shrewd wife, read the book of Taming a Shrew, which hath made -a number of us so perfect, that now every one can rule a shrew in our -country, save he that hath her’. It is to be noted that, unlike _Leire_ -(q.v.) and _King Lear_, the two versions counted, from the copyright -point of view, as one, so that the transfer of _A Shrew_ to Smethwick -made an entry of _The Shrew_ in S. R. for the purposes of F_{1} of -Shakespeare unnecessary. Probably Pembroke’s in their turn got the -play from the earlier Admiral’s or Strange’s. Its date has been placed -in or before 1589, because certain lines of it appear to be parodied -both in Greene’s _Menaphon_ of that year, and in the prefatory epistle -to _Menaphon_ by Nashe. Some such date is confirmed by its direct -imitations from Marlowe’s _Tamburlaine_ (_c._ 1587) and to a less -extent from _Dr. Faustus_ (_c._ 1588), which are collected by Boas, 93. -For author, Marlowe, Kyd, Greene, and Peele have all been suggested, -but, so far as we know, Marlowe did not repeat himself, and the others -did not plagiarize him, in this flagrant manner. Shakespeare also is -still often credited with a hand in the old play, as well as in the -revision, and the problem can best be discussed in connexion with -Shakespeare. Sykes gives part to S.

N._ xxiii. 16). - -The ascription of the title-page is rejected by Stoll, _Webster_, 34, -and modern writers generally, although Stork, _Rowley_, 61, thinks -that Rowley may have added comic touches. The use of Webster’s name -may be due to the identity of the plot with that of William Webster’s -_Curan and Argentile_ (1617). But William Webster took it from Warner’s -_Albion’s England_ (1586), iv. xx. From the same source Greene took it, -with a change of names, for _Menaphon_ (1589), and it is _Menaphon_, -with another change of names, that the play follows. Brereton ascribes -it to Greene himself; Hatcher thinks that the direct plagiarisms from -the source and the archaistic phrase ‘old Menaphon’ (iv. 2), whereas -Greene’s hero is a youth, point to an early sixteenth-century admirer -of Greene. Adams supports the suggestion of Fleay, i. 287, that this -is the _War Without Blows and Love Without Suit_ written by Heywood -for the Admiral’s in 1598, but this is a mere guess based on Heywood’s -title (Greg, _Henslowe_, ii. 199). Fleay then supposed that it was -revised for Queen Anne’s about 1607; elsewhere (ii. 332) he supposes it -a dramatization of Webster’s story for Prince Charles’s about 1617. - - - _Timon c. 1581 < > 90_ (?) - -[_MS._] _Dyce MS._ 52.

R. entry may refer to a ballad based on the play, or may -possibly be a loose description of the play itself. In any case there -is no reason to doubt the existence of a print of about that date. -The evidence of the 1661 title-page is confirmed by the entry of ‘Tom -tyler’ in Archer’s play-list of 1656 (Greg, _Masques_, cxii). -Chetwood, who cannot be relied on, gave the date as 1598, and an -inaccurate reproduction of this seems to be responsible for the 1578 of -other writers. The text of 1661 has been shown by C. P. G. Scott (in -Schelling’s introduction) to be a rendering into seventeenth-century -orthography of a play whose vocabulary may be put, with decreasing -certainty, within the limits 1530–80, 1540–70, and 1550–60. The -prologue says that the play is ‘set out by prettie boyes’, and the -‘concluding Song’ has a prayer for the preservation of the queen, -‘from perilous chance that hath been seen’. Fleay, ii. 295, somewhat -arbitrarily thinks the Chapel ‘more likely’ to have presented it than -Paul’s. A misinterpretation of Kirkman’s list of 1661 led E.

P._ x. 197). - -Bullen thinks this may be _Love Parts Friendship_, written by Chettle -and Smith for the Admiral’s in 1602; Fleay, ii. 318, that it may be the -_Burbon_ brought to the Admiral’s by Pembroke’s in 1597, as the Duke -of Bourbon is a chief personage, and also the _Cutting Dick_ to which -Heywood wrote additions for Worcester’s in 1602 (Greg, _Henslowe_, ii. -187, 221, 231). There is, of course, no particular reason why a play by -Derby’s should appear in Henslowe’s diary at all. They were in London -in the winters of 1599–1600 and 1600–1. The only link between them and -Henslowe is Heywood, if he was the author of their _Edward IV_ (q.v.). -Fleay, i. 289, thinks that the present play may be by the same hands. -Probably the Earl of Derby himself wrote for the company. - - - _The Trial of Treasure > 1567_ - -1567.

No connexion is traceable -between this and the extant play, which Greg and Boas regard as of -Cambridge origin. But it does not seem to me markedly academic. The -character Lelia does not particularly suggest the Cambridge Latin -_Laelia_ of 1595, and the epilogue was spoken in a ‘circled rounde’. -The description of himself by Churms (l. 68), as ‘at Cambridge a -scholler, at Cales a souldier, and now in the country a lawyer, and -the next degree shal be a connicatcher’, does not go far in the way of -proof. This same passage fixes the date as not earlier than the Cadiz -expedition of 1596; obviously the use of the phrase ‘tricke of Wily -Beguily’ in Nashe’s _Have With You to Saffron Walden_ of 1596 (_Works_, -iii. 107) proves nothing one way or other as to date, although Dekker -naturally knew the play when he described rogues and their ‘knavish -comedy of Wily-Beguily’ in his _Belman of London_ of 1608 (_Works_, -iii. 125). If the date is 1596, the authorship of Peele, suggested by -the description of the prologue-speaker as ‘humorous George’, although -he is clearly distinct from the ‘fiery Poet’, and urged by Fleay, ii. -158, and Landsberg, becomes just possible, chronologically, before -his death in November of that year. But the Shakespearian imitations, -although most marked of _M. V._ and earlier plays, seem also to extend -to _Hamlet_, _M. W._, and _T. N._, and the right date may be _c._ -1602–6. If the production was in the ‘circled rounde’ of Paul’s, the -quasi-academic note is explicable. Sykes suggests S. Rowley (q.v.) as -part author. Fleay, _Shakespeare Manual_, 272, makes an amazing attempt -to interpret the play as a satire on Lyly, Lodge, Marston, Chettle, -Dekker, Drayton, Middleton, Chapman, Jonson, Henslowe, the Admiral’s, -the Chamberlain’s, the Chapel, and Paul’s.

The Prince was a Norfolk man, Henry Helmes, -and a list of the members of the Inn who held positions at his court -is given in the tract. The revels began on St. Thomas’s Eve, 20 Dec., -continued until Twelfth Night, were resumed at Candlemas, and again at -Shrovetide, when the Prince’s reign terminated. - -On Innocents’ Day, 28 Dec., at night, the Inner Temple were -entertained, and a stage set up, but the crowd was too great for the -‘inventions’ contemplated, and ‘it was thought good not to offer any -thing of account, saving dancing and revelling with gentlewomen; -and after such sports, a Comedy of Errors (like to _Plautus_ his -_Menechmus_) was played by the players. So that night was begun, and -continued to the end, in nothing but confusion and errors; whereupon, -it was ever afterwards called, _The Night of Errors_’. On 30 Dec. -an indictment was preferred against a supposed sorcerer, containing -a charge ‘that he had foisted a company of base and common fellows, -to make up our disorders with a play of errors and confusions; and -that that night had gained to us discredit, and itself a nickname of -Errors’. Presumably the players of Shakespeare’s _Comedy of Errors_ -were the Chamberlain’s men, and the Treasurer of the Chamber’s record -(App. B) of a play at court by these men, as well as the Admiral’s, on -28 Dec. is a slip for 27 Dec. (_M. L. R._ ii. 10). - -On 3 Jan. many nobles were entertained with a show illustrating the -amity of Graius and Templarius. It was followed by speeches from -six ‘Councellors’, advising respectively ‘the Exercise of War’, -‘the Study of Philosophy’, ‘Eternizement and Fame, by Buildings and -Foundations’, ‘Absoluteness of State and Treasure’, ‘Vertue, and a -Gracious Government’, and ‘Pass-times and Sports’. These are ascribed -by Spedding, i. 342, to Francis Bacon (q.v.), a view which finds some -confirmation in the fact that the Alnwick MS., many of the contents of -which are by Bacon, once contained a copy of some ‘Orations at Graies -Inne Revells’ (Burgoyne, xii). It is amusing to note that on 5 Dec. -1594 Lady Bacon, his mother, wrote to his brother Anthony, ‘I trust -they will not mum nor mask nor sinfully revel at Gray’s Inn’ (Spedding, -i. 326). The speeches of three of the ‘Councellors’, with one by the -Prince, are also preserved, without ascription, in _Inner Temple Petyt -MS._ 583, 43, f. 294. - -On 6 Jan. appeared six Knights of the Helmet ‘in a very stately mask, -and danced a new devised measure; and after that they took to them -ladies and gentlewomen, and danced with them their galliards, and so -departed with musick’. - -On 1 Feb. the Prince visited Greenwich, and promised to return at -Shrovetide. On his way back, he was met with a Latin oration by a boy -at St. Paul’s School. - -At Shrovetide, the Prince took his mask to the court at Whitehall. -The maskers were the Prince of Purpoole and his Seven Knights; -the torchbearers eight Pigmies; the presenters Proteus, Thamesis, -Amphitrite, and one of the Prince’s Esquires; the musicians two -Tritons, two Nymphs, and a Tartarian Page. - -The performance was upon a stage. After a hymn, the presenters made -speeches setting out how the Prince and Knights were in an Adamantine -Rock, to be released by Proteus, on the discovery of a Power (the -Queen) of more attractive virtue. The maskers issued from the Rock, -and danced ‘a new devised measure, &c.’; then took ladies, and danced -‘their galliards, courants, &c.’; then danced ‘another new measure’. -The Pigmies brought in eight escutcheons, with the maskers’ impresses, -which the Esquire presented to the Queen. The maskers then entered the -rock, while another hymn was sung. - -The maskers were Henry Helmes (Prince), William Cooke, Jarvis Tevery, -John Lambert, Molineux, Grimes, Paylor, and Campnies. - -After the mask, the courtiers danced a measure, and Elizabeth said, -‘What! shall we have bread and cheese after a banquet?’ - -The maskers were presented to the Queen ‘on the next day’ and praised -by her. The narrative goes on to record that ‘the same night’ was -fighting at barriers, in which the Prince took part as a defendant with -the Earl of Cumberland against the Earl of Essex and other challengers, -and won the prize; and concludes, ‘Thus on _Shrove-Tuesday_, at the -Court, were our sports and revels ended’. The dating is not quite -clear, but it seems probable that the mask and barriers were both on -the Tuesday, and the presentation on Ash Wednesday, presumably as the -Queen went to chapel. Conceivably, however, the mask was on Monday, -and the presentation and barriers on Tuesday. The Gray’s Inn records -(Fletcher, 107) note a disbursement on 11 Feb. 1595 to William Johnson -and Edward Morrys, who served as the Prince’s Lord Chancellor and Lord -Treasurer, of 100 marks for ‘the gentlemen for their sports & shewes -this Shrovetyde at the court before the Queens Majestie’. There was -also a levy on 8 May for the ‘shewes & desports’ of sums varying from -4_s._ to 10_s._ according to status, while the public stock of the -house was to contribute £30. - -The speeches in the mask were apparently by Francis Davison, one of -the Prince’s Gentlemen Pensioners, who included in his _Poetical -Rapsody_ (1602), sign. D 3 v^o, amongst Sonnets, &c., ‘To his first -Loue’, one ‘Vpon presenting her with the speech of Grayes-Inne Maske -at the Court 1594, consisting of three partes, The Story of Proteus -Transformations, the wonders of the Adamantine Rocke, and a speech to -her Maiestie’. The _Poetical Rapsody_, sign. K 8, also contains the -opening hymn of the mask, which begins ‘Of Neptune’s Empyre let us -sing’, and ascribes it to Thomas Campion (q.v.). Whether ‘The Song at -the ending’, which according to Dr. Greg has been inserted in _Harl. -MS._ 541 by a later hand, is also Campion’s must remain doubtful. The -MS. as originally written is just such a present as Davison may have -sent to his mistress. A list of ‘Papers lent’ by Davison in _Harl. MS._ -298 includes ‘Grayes In Sportes under S^r Henry Helmes. Eleaz. Hogdson’. - - - _The Twelve Months. 1608–12_ - -[_MS._] Formerly _penes_ Collier, but not now among his papers in -_Egerton MS._ 2623. - -_Editions_ by J. P. Collier, _Five Court Masques_ (1848), 131, with -title ‘The Masque of the Twelve Months’. - -The maskers are the twelve Months; the antimaskers Pages; the -presenters Madge Howlet, Pigwiggen a Fairy, Beauty, Aglaia, the Pulses, -Prognostication, and Somnus; the musicians the twelve Spheres. - -The locality is not given, but the presence of a king is contemplated. -The text is disordered, but can easily be reconstructed, as follows: -Madge Howlet, ‘going up towards the King’, and Pigwiggen speak -the opening dialogue (Collier, 137). The Spheres sing the first -song calling Beauty from her fort, the Heart (140). This is the -scene; on it are plumes, ‘the ensignes of the darling of the yeare, -delicious Aprill’. Beauty, Aglaia, and the Pulses, ‘beating before -them up towardes the King’, speak a dialogue (131). The Pages dance -an ‘antemasque’ (133). Beauty and Aglaia speak a dialogue (134). -The maskers appear, and are presented by Beauty (134). The second -‘antemasque’ is danced (134). Beauty and Aglaia speak a dialogue (134). -Prognostication enters, and prognosticates (135). The maskers descend, -and Beauty describes April, a prince ‘lov’d of all, yett will not -love’, with a ‘triple plume’ (135). After a second song, ‘they dance -their entrie’ (141). Beauty and Aglaia speak a dialogue (136). There is -a third song (141). ‘They dance their mayne dance: which done, Bewty -invites them to dance with the Ladies’ (137). There is a fourth song -(142). ‘They dance with the Ladies, and the whole Revells follows’ -(137). Beauty calls on Somnus (140). There is a last song (142). ‘They -dance their going off’ (140). - -Brotanek, 346, suggests 1 Jan. 1612 as a probable date. I agree with -him that ‘charming all warre from his mild monarchie’ (136) suggests -James I, although I do not think that ‘our fairy King’ (137) is -necessarily a reminiscence of the _Mask of Oberon_, especially as -this fairy king is James and not Henry. In any case ‘the heart of the -yeare’ (132), ‘prime of this newe yeare’ (135), ‘this winter nighte’ -(141) do not require a performance on 1 Jan. In fact, April and not -January leads the months in the mask. I would add to Brotanek’s notes -that April is clearly danced by a Prince of Wales, and that ‘lov’d of -all, yett will not love’ fits in with the uncertainty as to Henry’s -matrimonial intentions which prevailed in 1612. But he is not very -likely to have given two masks in the winter of 1611–12, nor is there -any evidence of any mask that winter except the _Love Restored_ of -6 Jan. Of course _The Twelve Months_ may never have been actually -performed. I have thought that it might have been the mask abandoned by -Anne on account of the death of the Queen of Spain in Dec. 1611 (cf. -Jonson, _Love Restored_). Beauty, ‘our fairy Queene’, is said to be -‘Great president of all those princely revells’ in honour of the ‘fairy -King’. But the mask is danced by men, not women, which seems to put a -Queen’s mask out of the question. No mask has yet been traced in the -winter of 1609–10. I am afraid I must leave the date open. If Henry led -the dance, his death in Nov. 1612 gives one limit. The ‘antemasque’ is -more likely to have been introduced after than before 1608. The use of -Pigwiggen as a fairy name recurs in Drayton’s _Nymphidia_, published in -1627. - - - _Mask of Flowers. 6 Jan. 1614_ - -_S.

Evans, -_English Masques_ (1897). - -The maskers, in white embroidered with carnation and silver and -vizards, were thirteen transformed Flowers; the antimaskers in ‘the -anticke-maske of daunce’ Pantaloon, Courtesan, Swiss and his Wife, -Usurer, Midwife, Smug and his Wench, Fretelyne, Bawd, Roaring Boy, -Citizen, Mountebank, Jewess of Portugal, Chimney-Sweeper and his Wench; -the musicians twelve Garden Gods, also described as Priests, and in the -‘anticke-maske of the song’ Miller, Wine Cooper, Vintner’s Boy, Brewer, -Skipper, Fencer, Pedlar, Barber; the presenters Invierno, Primavera, -Gallus the Sun’s Post, Silenus, Kawasha, and attendants. - -The locality was the Banqueting House, at the lower end of which was a -‘travers painted in perspective’, as a city wall and gate, with temples -of Silenus and Kawasha on either side. The antimasks represented a -challenge, directed by the Sun, between wine and tobacco. ‘The travers -being drawne’ disclosed an elaborate garden sloping up to a mount and -arbour (33 ft. long × 21 ft. high) with a bank of flowers before it. -Upon a charm the flowers vanished to give place to the maskers, who -danced their first and second measure, then took ladies, for ‘measures, -corantoes, durettoes, morascoes, galliards’, and then ‘daunced their -parting measure’, which was followed by compliments to the king and the -bride and groom. - -For general notices of the Somerset wedding masks, cf. s.v. Campion, -_Mask of Squires_. On 23 Dec. Chamberlain wrote to Carleton (Birch, i. -282), ‘Sir Francis Bacon prepares a masque to honour this marriage, -which will stand him in above £2000; and though he have been offered -some help by the House, and specially by Mr. Solicitor, Sir Henry -Yelverton, who would have sent him £500, yet he would not accept -it, but offers them the whole charge with the honour. Marry, his -obligations are such, as well to his majesty as to the great lord -and to the whole house of Howards, as he can admit no partner’. On 5 -Jan. (Birch, i. 288) he briefly notes, ‘Mr. Attorney’s masque is for -to-morrow, and for a conclusion of Christmas and these shows together’. - -The records of Gray’s Inn confirm Chamberlain’s account, by giving no -signs that any expense fell on the Inn. On a letter by Bacon which may -refer to this occasion, cf. s.v. Bacon. - -Osborne, _James_, 82, a not very accurate writer, speaks of a Gray’s -Inn mask at court, following an Anglo-Scottish quarrel between Mr. -Hawley of Gray’s Inn and Mr. Maxwell. Probably he has this mask, which -was to honour a Scot, in mind. The quarrel was in fact over in June -1612 (Birch, i. 173). I doubt whether either this mask or the joint -Gray’s Inn and Inner Temple mask of 1612–13 had anything to do with it. - - - C. RECEPTIONS AND ENTERTAINMENTS - - - _Coronation Triumph. 1559_ - -_S.

The -challenge was delivered by a boy in red and white, as the Queen came -from Chapel on 16 April 1581. The tilt, first fixed for 24 April, was -put off to 1 May, 8 May, and finally 15 May. The gallery at the end -of the tilt-yard was named the Castle or Fortress of Perfect Beauty, -and the challengers, the Earl of Arundel, Lord Windsor, Philip Sidney, -and Fulke Greville, called themselves the Four Foster Children of -Desire. They entered from the stable, with trains of followers and a -Rowling Trench of printed canvas, to besiege the fortress. From this -boys spoke and sang, and cannonades of perfumes were shot off, while -flowers and other fancies were flung from scaling ladders. Then came -twenty-one defendants, each with his ‘invention’ and speech. They were -Henry Grey, Sir Thomas Perot, Anthony Cooke, Thomas Ratcliffe, Henry -Knolles, William Knolles, Robert Knolles, Francis Knolles, Rafe Bowes, -Thomas Kelwaie, George Goring, William Tresham, Robert Alexander, -Edward Dennie, Hercules Meautus, Edward Moore, Richard Skipwith, -Richard Ward, Edward Digbie, Henry Nowell, Henry Brunkerd. Perot and -Cooke were ‘both in like armour, beset with apples and fruit, the one -signifying Adam and the other Eve, who had haire hung all down his -helmet’. Their page was an Angel. Ratcliffe was a Desolate Knight, with -a page who presented his shield. The four Knolles brothers were Sons of -Despair, with Mercury for a page. The speeches of the pages are given. -Each defendant ran six courses with the challengers. ‘In the middest -of the running came in Sir Henrie Leigh, as unknowne, and when he had -broken his six staves, went out in like manner againe.’ At the end of -the first day the boy who gave the challenge announced a second on the -morrow. - -On the second day the challengers entered in a chariot ‘forewearied -and half overcome’ with a lady representing Desire, and a consort of -music.

Sir Henry Lee). - - - _Tilt-yard Entertainment. 17 Nov. 1595_ - -See ch. xxiii, s.v. Peele, _Anglorum Feriae_. - - - _Harefield Entertainment. 1602_ - -Elizabeth was at Harefield Place, Middlesex, the house of Sir Thomas -Egerton, Lord Keeper, and his wife Alice, Countess Dowager of Derby, -from 31 July to 2 Aug. 1602. At the same house Milton’s _Arcades_ -was performed before Lady Derby in 1634. Seven fragments of the -entertainment have been preserved, and are printed by Nichols, _Eliz._ -iii. 570, 586, and Bond, _Lyly_, i. 491. Accounts of expenditure -involved, and a list of the gifts in kind contributed by Egerton’s -friends on this occasion are in _Egerton Papers_, 340, but the account -in 342–4 is a forgery (_vide infra_). - -(i) Dialogue between a Bailiff and Dairymaid, and presentation of a -rake and fork to the Queen, as she entered the demesne near the dairy -house. - -(ii) Dialogue at the steps of the house, and presentation of a heart, -by Place ‘in a partie-colored roobe, like the brick house’ and Time -‘with yeollow haire, and in a green roabe, with an hower glasse, -stopped, not runninge’. - -(iii) Verse petition accompanying gift of a robe of rainbows on behalf -of St. Swithin by Lady Walsingham on Monday morning [2 Aug.]. - -(iv) Farewell of Place, ‘attyred in black mourning aparell’ on the -Queen’s departure, with presentation of an anchor. - -(v) Verse ‘Complaint of the Satyres against the Nymphes’. - -(vi) Song and speech by a Mariner, who entered the ‘presence’ with a -lottery box, ‘supposed to come from the Carricke’. - -(vii) ‘The Severall Lottes’, a list of gifts and blanks, with a -poesy accompanying each, and the names of the ladies who drew them. -These were the Queen, the Dowager Countess of Derby, the Countesses -of Derby, Worcester, and Warwick, Lady Scroope, Mistresses Nevill, -Thynne, Hastinges, and Bridges, Ladies Scudamore, Francis, Knevette, -and Susan Vere, Mrs. Vavissour, Ladies Southwell and Anne Clifford, -Mrs. Hyde, Ladies Kildare, Howard of Effingham and Paget, Mistresses -Kiddermister and Strangwidge, the Mother of the Maids, Ladies -Cumberland, Walsingham, and Newton, Mrs. Wharton, Ladies Digbye and -Dorothy [Hastinges] and Mrs. Anselowe. One name, ending in ‘liffe’ -is illegible. It may be Ratcliffe. One MS. adds three lots assigned -to ‘country wenches’. Most of these ladies were maids of honour and -others who came with the court; one or two, e.g. Mrs. Kiddermister, -were country neighbours of the Egerton’s. - -These pieces are derived from various sources: - -(_a_) A transcript made by R. Churton in 1803 of a contemporary MS. -found at Arbury, the house of Sir Roger Newdigate, to whose family -Harefield passed in 1675, contains (i)-(v) and was printed by Nichols. - -(_b_) A _Conway MS._, printed by P. Cunningham in _Sh. Soc. Papers_, -ii. 65, contains (iii), the song from (vi), and (vii), with the heading -‘The Devise to entertayne hir M^{ty} at Harfielde ...’ and the date -1602. - -(_c_) The second edition (1608) of Francis Davison’s _Poetical -Rhapsody_ contains the speech from (vi) and (vii), with the incorrect -indication ‘at the Lord Chancellor’s house, 1601’, which misled Nichols -into supposing it to belong to some entertainment at York Place, the -year before that of Harefield. The item comes between two pieces by Sir -John Davies and has the initials J. D. - -(_d_) The diary of John Manningham (_Harl. MS._ 5353, f. 95) contains -amongst entries of Feb. 1603 some extracts from (i) and (vii), dating -the latter in ‘the last Sumer at hir M^{ties} being with the L. Keeper’. - -(_e_) A contemporary MS., printed as _Poetical Miscellanies_ (_Percy -Soc._ lv), 5, has (vii) dated 1602. - -(_f_) _Talbot MS._ K, f. 43, in the College of Arms, contains (iv) as -given at ‘Harville’ with the date ‘Aug. 1602’ and is printed by Lodge, -ii. 560. - -(_g_) _B.M. Birch MS._ 4173 contains a similar copy of (iv). - -On the strength of the _Poetical Rhapsody_, (vii) is generally assigned -to Sir John Davies, which hardly justified Dr. Grosart in assigning all -the pieces to him (_Works_, ii, clxxii). Bond transferred the whole -to Lyly, primarily as a conjecture, but was confirmed in his view by -finding in _Egerton Papers_, 343, a payment to ‘M^r Lillyes man, which -brought the lotterye boxe to Harefield’. But the document in which this -is found, and which also contains the item ‘x^{li} to Burbidges players -for Othello’, is one of Collier’s forgeries (Ingleby, 261). - -John Chamberlain (_Letters_, 164, 169) sent Dudley Carleton ‘the Quenes -entertainment at the Lord Kepers’ on 19 Nov. 1602, and on 23 Dec. wrote -that, as Carleton liked the Lord Keeper’s devices so ill, he had not -cared to get Sir Robert Cecil’s (cf. ch. xxiii, s.v. Cecil). - - - _Progress from Scotland. 1603_ - -There were several contemporary prints: - - A - -_S.

The chronological evidence for -the plays mainly rests upon Appendix B. Tilts and a few miscellaneous -entertainments are included. And it has seemed worth while to trace -the movements of the court, partly in order to locate the palaces -at which the winter performances were given, partly because of the -widespread use of mimetic pageantry during Elizabeth’s progresses and -visits abroad. For the main migrations of the household (in small -capitals), the authorities here cited are confirmed by the daily or -weekly indications of a much more detailed _Itinerarium_ than can be -printed. Additions from sources not explored by me may be possible to -the record of shorter visits or even that of the by-progresses, upon -which Elizabeth was not always accompanied by the full household. I -have not attempted to deal so completely with the Jacobean period. -The King’s constant absences from court on hunting journeys are -difficult to track and of no interest to dramatic history. Appendix -B will show at which of the court plays he was personally present. -The principal material used may be classified as follows: (_a_) The -royal movements are frequently noted in ambassadorial dispatches, -in private letters, notably those of Roger Manners to the Earls of -Rutland (_Rutland MSS._), of Rowland Whyte, court postmaster, to Sir -Robert Sidney (_Sydney Papers_), and of John Chamberlain to Sir Dudley -Carleton (_Letters_, ed. Camden Soc., and Birch, _Court of James_) and -Sir Ralph Winwood (_Winwood Memorials_); and in the diaries of Henry -Machyn, Lord Burghley (Haynes-Murdin, ii. 745; _Hatfield MSS._, i. 149; -v. 69; xiii. 141, 199, 389, 464, 506, 596), Sir Francis Walsingham -(_Camden Miscellany_, vi), and John Dee. (_b_) Collections of State and -quasi-State Papers contain many dated and located documents emanating -from the court, such as proclamations, privy seals, signet letters, -and less formal communications from the sovereign or a secretary -or other officer in attendance. Unfortunately Elizabeth’s letters -missive have never been collected, and many of them are unlocated. -Naturally ministerial documents require handling with discretion, -lest the writers should be away from court. Letters patent bear the -date and location of the Chancellor’s _recepi_, and the Chancellor -was largely detached from the court. The sources for (_a_) and (_b_) -are given in the _Bibl. Note_ to ch. i. (_c_) The _Register_ of the -Privy Council records the localities of the meetings of that body, but -it must be borne in mind that the registration was not very perfect -(cf. ch. ii), and also that, although the Council ordinarily followed -the court, meetings were occasionally held in Westminster or London, -either at the Star Chamber or in the house of a councillor or even a -citizen, when the court happened to be out of town. (_d_) Church bells -were rung when the sovereign moved into or out of a parish, and the -churchwardens entered the ringers’ fees in their accounts. The entries -in J. V. Kitto, _The Accounts of the Churchwardens of St. Martin’s in -the Fields, 1525–1603_ (1901, cited as _Martin’s_), record many comings -and goings from Whitehall, but in some cases the date entered appears -to be other than that of the actual ringing, either by error or because -the payment was on a different day. The extracts from the accounts of -St. Margaret’s, Westminster (cited as _Margaret’s_), in J. Nichols, -_Illustrations_, 1, of Lambeth in D. Lysons, _Environs of London_, i. -222, and S. Denne, _Historical Particulars of Lambeth_ (1795, _Bibl. -Top. Brit._ x. 185), of Fulham in T. Faulkner, _Fulham_ (1813), 139, -of Kingston in Lysons, _Environs_, i. 164, and of Wandsworth by C. -T. Davis in _Surrey Arch. Colls._, xviii (1903), 96, are scrappy and -the year concerned is not always clear. Nichols, _Eliz._ iii. 37, -gives an analogous record from the accounts of Chalk in Kent of the -occasions on which the local carts were requisitioned for removes from -Greenwich. (_e_) The dates and localities of knightings are given in -W. A. Shaw, _The Knights of England_ (1906), but many of them are from -inconsistent and untrustworthy sources. (_f_) The _Chamber Accounts_ -(cf. App. B) contain under the annual heading ‘Apparelling of Houses’ -summaries of monthly bills sent in by the Gentlemen Ushers of the -Chamber of their expenses while engaged in making preparations for -royal visits. They yield much new information as to the houses visited, -but only very approximately date the visits. And it may be that the -Ushers occasionally had to prepare for a visit which never took place. -Analogous information is contained in the _Declared Accounts_ of the -Office of Works. A single account of the Cofferer of the Household, -printed by Nichols, i. 92, gives a daily record of the locality of -the household throughout the progress of 1561; as far as I know, it -is the only extant document of its kind. (_g_) J. Nichols, in his -_Progresses of Elizabeth_^2 (1823) and _Progresses of James I_ (1828), -drew fully upon the contemporary printed descriptions of state entries -and progresses, of which a list is given in ch. xxiv, and upon such -‘gests’ of progresses (cf. ch. iv) as survive. I have been able to -correct and amplify his record of houses visited to a great extent, as -much of the material now available, notably the Privy Council Register -and the Chamber Accounts, was not used by him, and he occasionally -assumed that royal plans were carried out, when they were not. I have -done what I can to identify the royal hosts and their houses, but there -is more of conjecture in my lists than my query-marks quite indicate. -The Chamber Accounts entries are not in chronological order. Often -only a name or a locality is given, and a good deal of plotting of -routes on a map has been necessary. A more thorough study of local and -family histories than I have been able to undertake would doubtless add -corrections and further details. Local antiquaries might well follow -the lines of study opened up by E. Green, _Did Queen Elizabeth visit -Bath in 1574 and 1592_ (1879, _Proc. of Bath Field Club_, iv. 105), W. -D. Cooper, _Queen Elizabeth’s Visits to Sussex_ (1852, _Sussex Arch. -Colls._, v. 190), W. Kelly, _Royal Progresses and Visits to Leicester_ -(1884), and M. Christy, _The Progresses of Queen Elizabeth through -Essex and the Houses in which she stayed_ (1917, _Essex Review_, xxvi. -115, 181). A knowledge of sixteenth-and seventeenth-century roads is -useful. The Elizabethan list in W. Smith, _The Particular Description -of England, 1588_ (ed. H. B. Wheatley and E. W. Ashbee, 1879) is fuller -than that in W. Harrison, _Description of England_ (ed. _N. S. S._ -ii. 107), or that described from a manuscript of _c._ 1603 by G. S. -Thomson in _E. H. R._ xxxiii. 234. The seventeenth-century description -of J. Ogilby, _Itinerarium Angliae_ (1675) became the parent of many -travellers’ guides. But it does not include three private royal roads -largely used in removes; viz. the King’s road by Chelsea to Richmond -and Hampton Court, Theobald’s Road, and a road from Lambeth Ferry to -Greenwich and Eltham. Useful studies are T. F. Ordish, _History of -Metropolitan Roads_ (_L. T. R._ viii. 1), and H. G. Fordham, _Studies -in Carto-Bibliography_ (1914). Other books are given in D.

But in view of the importance -of these documents as sources for the history of court entertainment, -it will be well to add something about their general nature and state -of preservation to what has already been said about the procedure of -the Treasurer of the Chamber in ch. ii and that of the Revels Office in -ch. iii. - - - THE AUDIT OF HOUSEHOLD ACCOUNTS - -Most, but not all, of the accounts preserved are records of audit. -There is, unfortunately, no systematic history of the Audit Office; but -the somewhat scrappy notices in F. S. Thomas, _The Ancient Exchequer -of England_ (1848), and H. Hall, _Studies in English Official -Historical Documents_ (1908), and _A Formula Book of English -Official Historical Documents_, Part II (1909), may be supplemented -for the Tudor period by the valuable study of M. D. George, _The -Origin of the Declared Account_ (1916, E. H. R. xxxi. 41). The -Record Office series of _Lists and Indexes_ includes lists of -_Declared Accounts_ (ii) and _Exchequer Accounts_ (xxxv). -Normally the auditing of royal expenditure was a function of the -mediaeval Exchequer. The procedure was for the officer charged with -incurring expenditure to appear as accountant before the Auditor-Baron -and his Clerk, and produce detailed statements, known as ‘particulars’, -together with vouchers for sums already spent out of any ‘imprest’ or -advance that had been made to him, and the warrants under which his -expenditure was authorized. From these the Exchequer officers prepared -a ‘compotus’ or balance sheet, signed it, when the balance was settled, -as a record that the accountant was ‘quietus’ or quit from debt to -the Crown, and passed it through the King’s Remembrancer to the Lord -Treasurer’s Remembrancer, in whose office it was enrolled by the Clerk -of the Pipe on the roll of ‘foreign’ or non-revenue accounts. It -was then returned to the King’s Remembrancer, who kept it, with the -particulars and vouchers as subsidiary documents. It was a lengthy -and cumbrous process. Moreover, the Lord Treasurer, like the Lord -Chancellor, was one of the high officers of state whose functions came -at an early date under the control of the barons, and the same motives, -which led the sovereign (cf. ch. ii) to develop in the Wardrobe and -Chamber an executive machinery independent of the Lord Chancellor, also -led him to desire that his more private expenditure should be withdrawn -from the survey of the Exchequer. Thus we find the Treasurer of the -Chamber accountable (cf. ch. ii) at the end of the fifteenth century -to the King alone, and in the mid-sixteenth century to the Court of -Surveyors or to _ad hoc_ auditors specially appointed by the King -or the Privy Council. When the Court of Augmentations absorbed the -Court of Surveyors in 1553, its establishment included two Auditors -of Prests, and although this court was itself merged in the Exchequer -under Mary, the more up-to-date methods of auditing were continued by -Elizabeth’s appointment in 1560, as themselves Exchequer officers, of -two ‘Auditores de lez Prestes et Compotorum forinsecorum nostrorum’. -The main difference between the methods of the Auditors of the Prests -and that of the Auditor-Baron appears to have been that the personal -appearance of the accountant was no longer necessary, who now himself -prepared in duplicate a balance sheet known as his Original Account, -or Book of Account, of which one copy was signed after examination and -returned to him as evidence of his quittance, while the other was kept -by the Auditors, who based upon it a summary known as the Declared or -Recorded Account, which took the place of the old _Compotus_. -This also was in duplicate. Apparently the Auditors kept one copy, -on paper, and sent another, on parchment, for preservation, as of -record, in the Pipe Office. I understand Miss George, however, to -think that the accountant was entitled to the paper copy, if he -chose to pay a fee for it, which he very often did not. The amount -of detail taken into the Declared Account from the Original Account -varied for different offices. The Revels Declared Accounts are very -summary; those of the Treasurer of the Chamber, at any rate as regards -play-payments, practically duplicates of the Original Accounts, except -that, unfortunately, the names of plays, which sometimes appeared in -the Original Accounts, are usually omitted. The Auditors also kept the -subsidiary documents submitted with the Original Account, and became -involved in a controversy, recorded in T. Fanshawe, _The Practice -of the Exchequer Court_ (1658), with the King’s Remembrancer, who -claimed that they should come to him. The King’s Remembrancer did -apparently see the Declared Account on its way to the Pipe Office, and -enrolled it, or a further summary of it. About 1603 all the Household -accounts appear to have gone before the Auditors of the Prests, except -those of the Cofferer, which still followed the old course of the -Exchequer. The procedures here described explain the provenance of such -Household accounts as belong to the official repositories now united in -the Record Office; some others, preserved there or elsewhere, come from -the private archives of the accountants themselves, being either the -audit duplicates supplied to them, or office copies and drafts of their -own Original Accounts, or the journals, pay books, and ledgers from -which these were prepared. - - - CHAMBER ACCOUNTS - -The following accounts appear to be extant. - - (a) _Mediaeval Period._ - -A few accounts and subsidiary documents of the reigns of Edward II, -Edward III, and Richard II are included in the Foreign Accounts on the -Great Rolls of the Exchequer (_P. R. O. Lists and Indexes_, xi. -108, 109), and in the Exchequer Wardrobe and Household Accounts (_L. -and I_. xxxv. 376, 379, 380, 382, 386, 391, 392, 396, 540). The -earliest are described, with extracts, by J. C. Davies, _The First -Journal of Edward II’s Chamber_ (_E. H. R._ xxx. 662). - - (b) _Early Tudor Period._ - -A number of accounts passed from the Augmentation Office to the -Exchequer and were amalgamated in 1839 with others from the office of -the King’s Remembrancer in a series of Exchequer Accounts, Various. -Here they are numbered 413 to 427. They are mainly accounts of -revenue and subsidiary documents, but a few accounts of payments -presented to the Record Office by the Trevelyan family have been added -to the series, and with them are listed as Wardrobe and Household -Accounts (_L. and I._ xxxv) some other payment accounts from -the Miscellaneous Books of the Treasury of Receipt of the Exchequer, -and one from the Miscellaneous Books of the Court of Augmentations. -Other payment accounts are in the British Museum and in unofficial -collections. It may be the case, as Newton, 359, suggests, that these -or some of them were abstracted from the Records by officials of -antiquarian tastes, but it must be remembered that duplicates even of -audited accounts were often kept by the accountants. These accounts are -generally known as The King’s Books of Payments. The following can be -traced: - - i. _Accounts of John Heron._ - -Three Books of Payments, for 1505–9, 1509–18, and 1518–21 respectively, -with many royal signatures by way of audit, are now in the P. R. -O. (_Misc. Books of Treasury of Receipt_, 214, 215, 216). The -contents of the Henry VIII books are abstracted in Brewer, ii. 1441; -iii. 1533. There must once have been an earlier book, for Collier, i. -49, 52, 76, gives extracts from one for 1492–1505, which he describes -as ‘formerly in the Chapter-house, Westminster’, as well as from -the three now extant, which he describes as ‘in the Chapter-house’. -Possibly this was _Addl. MS._ 21480, which has been traced back -(Newton, 359) through the hands of Craven Ord (a friend of Collier) -and Thomas Astle to those of Peter Le Neve, a Deputy-Chamberlain of -the Exchequer. But _Addl. MS._ 21481, which also came from Le -Neve, is a duplicate of the R. O. books for 1505–18, and therefore -_Addl. MS._ 21480 may only have been a duplicate of the missing -volume. Both the _Addl. MSS._ contain the royal signatures. Craven -Ord made some extracts which are now _Addl. MSS._ 7099, 7100, -and to these those supplied by Astle to R. Henry, _History of Great -Britain_, vi (1793), app., and those in S. Bentley, _Excerpta -Historica_ (1831), 85, owe their origin. Collier, i. 49, also cites -a small book for 1501–2 kept (perhaps under Heron) by one Robert -Fowler, which refers to parallel payments made by Thomas Trollop. - - ii. _Accounts of Brian Tuke._ - -A book signed monthly by Henry VIII, with some entries from 31 Dec. -1528 to 30 June 1529, but mainly covering the period from 17 Nov. -1529 to 29 Dec. 1532, was printed by N. H. Nicolas from a MS. -then in his possession as _The Privy Purse Expenses of Henry the -Eighth_ (1827) and misdescribed as an account of the Treasurer of -the Household. Presumably this MS. is identical with that owned by -Sir O. Bridgeman in 1634 and now _Addl. MS._ 20030. It overlaps -with an account for 1 Oct. 1528 to May 1531, presented by Sir W. C. -Trevelyan to the P. R. O. (_Exchequer Accounts, Various_, 420/11); -extracts are given in _Trevelyan Papers_ (C. S.), i. 136, and -an abstract in Brewer, v. 303. Collier, i. 116, and Nicolas (_ut -supra_), xxviii, give extracts from an account for Feb. 1538 to June -1541 in the possession of the Royal Society, presumably a duplicate of -the account for the same period in _Arundel MS._ 97, incorrectly -catalogued by the B.M. as an account of the Treasurer of the Household, -and abstracted in Brewer, xiii. 2. 524; xiv. 2. 303; xvi. 178, 698. An -account for May to Sept. 1542 in _Stowe MS._ 554 is abstracted in -Brewer, xvii. 474. Collier, i. 117, gives extracts from an account for -1543–4 in Craven Ord’s collection. - - iii. _Accounts of William Cavendish._ - -Account for 31 March 1547 to 31 Sept. 1549, of which extracts are given -in _Trevelyan Papers_, i. 191, ii. 13, were presented by Sir W. C. -Trevelyan to the P. R. O. (_Exchequer Accounts, Various_, 426/5, -6). _Misc. Exch. Augm._ 439 for 1547–8 is referred to by Newton, -359, as a Chamber account, and is presumably a duplicate. - - iv. _Account of Edmund Felton._ - -A Declared Account for 1 Apr. to 31 Dec. 1557 is in _D. A. Pipe -Office_, 541. Stopes, _Hunnis_, 145, cites a ‘Compotus Marie Rither and -Edmond Felton’ for 5 and 6 Edw. VI (_Queen’s Remembrancia_, 77/5) as a -Chamber Account. It is doubtless a Cofferer’s Account. - - (c) _Elizabethan and Jacobean Periods._ - - i. _Accounts in P. R. O._ - -The P. R. O. contains Chamber Accounts in four forms. Original -Accounts, as submitted for audit, are in _Audit Office, Accounts -Various_, 3/127–9. These are no doubt the ‘very incomplete’ set from -which extracts are given by Cunningham, xxvii. So far as play-payments -are concerned, they do not appear to be more detailed than the Declared -Accounts annually drawn up from them by the auditors, of which there -are duplicate sets, both nearly complete, belonging respectively -to the Audit Office and to the Pipe Office in the Lord Treasurer’s -Remembrancer’s Department of the Exchequer. They cover the terms of -office of Mason (1558–66), Knollys (1566–70), Heneage (1570–95), -Killigrew (1595–6), and Stanhope (1596–1617). From the Pipe Office -series I supplemented Cunningham’s extracts in _M. L. R._ ii -(1906), 1; iv (1909), 153, and give a complete record of play-payments -below. The payments are also given for 1558–85 from the Audit Office -series in Wallace, i (1912), 210, and very imperfectly from the Pipe -Office series for 1559–97 in Stopes, _Hunnis_, 318. Finally, -there are Enrolled Accounts in the King’s Remembrancer’s Department -(Scargill-Bird^1, liv). A single book for 1569–70 is in the same -Department (_Exchequer Accounts, Various_, 430/15). It appears to -be an office book, and has some original signatures by way of receipts -for payments. - - ii. _Accounts in British Museum._ - -_Harl._ 1641 and 1642 are duplicates of Heneage’s accounts for -1585–6 and 1593–4 as prepared for audit. _Harl._ 1644 is an office -book, 1581–3, containing signatures by way of receipts for wages and -the like. - - iii. _Accounts in Bodleian._ - -_Rawlinson MS._ A. 204, ff. 212, 269, contains duplicates of -Stanhope’s accounts for 1604–5 and 1610–11 as prepared for audit, and -_Rawlinson MSS._ A. 239 and 240 (formerly _Pepys MSS._ 78 and -79) are similar duplicates of his accounts for 1612–13 and 1616–17. -They are possibly office drafts, with some notes by a checking officer -or an auditor, but are not signed either by accountant or auditors. -Occasionally they are slightly more detailed as regards play entries -than the Declared Accounts. Thus in 1610–11 and 1612–13 they give -some dates of performances instead of the mere number for the season, -and in 1612–13 they even give the titles of the plays. Extracts of -these titles are given in Halliwell-Phillipps, ii. 87, and _N. S. S. -Trans._ (1875–6) 419, and more completely below. Similar entries -are given by P. Cunningham in _Sh. Soc. Papers_, ii. 123, not -direct from the manuscript, but from notes taken therefrom by Vertue -and Oldys. These had passed, in the case of the Oldys notes through -Percy, to Steevens, and from him to Hazlewood, who had copied them, as -Oldys and Steevens had done, into an interleaved Langbaine. Malone had -already used Vertue’s notes. - -I should add that many ‘declarations’ or memoranda on the business of -the Treasurer of the Chamber and the state of his finances from time -to time are to be found in the Domestic State Papers, in Lansdowne and -other B.M. MSS., and in a volume (_Lord Steward’s Misc._ 301) -collected by Sir J. Caesar. - - - REVELS ACCOUNTS - -The following accounts appear to be extant: - - (a) _Early Tudor Period._ - - (i) _Accounts of Richard Gibson._ - -Brewer, ii. 1490; iii. 35, 1548; iv. 418, 837, 1390, 1392, 1415, 1603, -3073, gives abstracts of a series of accounts, ranging from 1510 to -1530, some or all of which are presumably taken from _Miscellaneous -Books of the Treasury of the Receipt of the Exchequer_, 217, 228, -229. - - (ii) _Accounts of John Bridges._ - -It appears from extracts given by Kempe, 69, that some accounts of John -Bridges between 1539, when he became Yeoman of the Revels, and 1544, -when Cawarden became Master, are at Loseley. - - (iii) _Accounts of Sir Thomas Cawarden._ - -Many of these are at Loseley, often in more than one copy. Kempe, 69, -gives a few extracts for the last years of Henry VIII, and the most -important documents for the next three reigns, ranging from 1547 to -1559; are printed by A. Feuillerat in _Materialien_, xxi and xliv, -with accompanying warrants and other subsidiary documents. From 1547 -to 1550 the accounts are mainly office copies of ‘particular’ books, -setting out the details and cost of each individual revel, airing, or -the like; but for 1550–55, and again for 1555–9, the ‘particular paye -bookes’ are brought together with summaries in two great ‘Certificates’ -(_Loseley MSS._ 62 and 63), which relate to the Tents as well as -the Revels. The second of these includes, as well as money accounts, -inventories of the office stuff and notes of its employment in masking -and other garments during 1555–60, and a similar record for 1550–5 is -in _Loseley MS._ 112. These Certificates, although signed by the -Clerk, Clerk Controller, and Yeoman, are not audited. Probably they are -office copies of Original Accounts prepared for audit. - - (b) _Elizabethan Period._ - -Eleven Original Accounts of the Masters or Acting Masters of the -Revels, with annotations by the Auditors, are in _R. O. Audit -Office, Accounts Various_, 3, 907 (formerly 1213). They relate to -the periods: (i) Feb. 1571–May 1572; (ii) June 1572–Oct. 1573; (iii) -Nov. 1573–Feb. 1574; (iv) March 1574–Feb. 1575; (v) March 1576–Feb. -1577; (vi) Feb. 1578–Oct. 1579; (vii) Nov. 1579–Oct. 1580; (viii) Nov. -1580–Oct. 1581; (ix) Nov. 1582–Oct. 1583; (x) Nov. 1584–Oct. 1585; (xi) -Nov. 1587–Oct. 1588. It will be seen that a regular annual system, -starting with the opening of the season for revels at All Saints in -each year, was ultimately adopted. All these accounts were printed in -P. Cunningham, _Extracts from the Accounts of the Revels at Court_ -(1842, _Sh. Soc._), but (ii) imperfectly and (xi) from an -unaudited duplicate in the same bundle. These vagaries are corrected in -the text of Feuillerat (1908, _Materialien_, xxi), who also gives -an account for Nov. 1587–Oct. 1589 from _Lansd. MS._ 59, f. 38, -which in part duplicates (xi), and much illustrative matter, including -an estimate in some detail of the expenditure from Christmas 1563 to -Shrovetide 1565 from _S. P. Dom. Eliz._ xxxvi. 22. The Audit -Office series of Declared Accounts for the Revels is imperfect, but -contains two, printed by Feuillerat, for the years 1581–2 and 1583–4, -for which there are no Original Accounts. The Pipe Office series -appears to be complete. - - (c) _Jacobean Period._ - -There are only two Original Accounts, for 1604–5 and 1611–12, which are -printed by Cunningham. The Pipe Office Declared Accounts are complete. -I have not examined those of the Audit Office. The Original Accounts -for 1604–5 and 1611–12, and especially the former, have been the -subject of a good deal of controversy. The facts are as follows. They -were printed in 1842 by Peter Cunningham, then a clerk in the Audit -Office, who described them as a separate discovery from the Elizabethan -bundle, which he also printed. Twenty-six years afterwards, in 1868, he -attempted to sell them to the British Museum, stating that he had found -them some thirty years before ‘under the vaults of Somerset House--far -under the Quadrangle in a dry and lofty cellar, known by the name of -the “Charcoal Repository”’. Their official character was realized, -and they were sent to the Record Office, and placed amongst the papers -known as _Audit Office, Accounts Various_, 3, 908 (formerly 1214), -with a note that Mr. E. A. Bond, Keeper of the Manuscripts in the -British Museum, ‘saw reasons for doubting the genuineness of one, at -least, of these papers, from the peculiar character of the writing and -the spelling’. It is probable that Bond had in mind, wholly or mainly, -the play-list of the 1604–5 book, which does use some spellings, such -as ‘Shaxberd’ and ‘aleven’, which are unusual although by no means -unparalleled, and is, moreover, in a style of handwriting sufficiently -different from the rest of the document to have at first sight a -suspicious air. But it is an integral part of the book, occupying ff. -2, 2^v of its three small folio sheets, with other matter both on ff. -1, 1^v, and on ff. 5, 5^v, which form the second half of its sheet, and -therefore, if a forged insertion, it occupies a long blank conveniently -left by the original scribe just where, according to Revels practice, -such a list ought to come. Bond’s scepticism was shared by Sir Thomas -Duffus Hardy, and although the grounds of it did not extend beyond the -play-list in the 1604–5 account, the acceptance of this as a forgery -naturally reflected some suspicion upon the corresponding list for -1611–12. The position, however, called for some reconsideration when, -in _A Note on Measure for Measure_ (1880) and subsequently in the -fifth edition (1885) of his _Outlines_ (ed. 9, ii. 163, 309), -Halliwell-Phillipps called attention to evidence that Malone, at some -date before his death in 1812, and therefore before Cunningham was -born, was acquainted at least with the substance of the 1604–5 list. -The Bodleian contains a number of Malone’s note-books, which are -believed to have been purchased from Mr. Rodd, a London bookseller, -in 1838, and contain material collected after the issue of Malone’s -_Shakespeare_ of 1790 with a view to a second edition ultimately -produced by Boswell in 1821. With them were a bundle of loose scraps, -which have since been mounted and bound as a supplementary volume. -One of these scraps (_Malone MS._ 29, f. 69^v) consists of a -list of plays headed ‘1604 & 1605 Ed^d. Tylney’, which substantially -agrees with the list in the Revels book, even to the unusual spelling -‘Shaxberd’, although it is clearly not a transcript of the Revels list, -but merely an abstract of this, or a similar document, in an unknown -hand other than Malone’s. One of the plays named in the Revels book, -_The Spanish Maze_ of Shrove Monday, is omitted. No use of the -scrap had been made by Boswell, although he prints (_Variorum_, -iii. 360) extracts made by Malone from the Elizabethan Revels books, -together with a letter of 7 Nov. 1591 from Sir William Musgrave, of -the Audit Office, inviting Malone to inspect them, and an official -memorandum on the ‘State of the Books of Accounts and Records of the -Master of the Revels, still remaining in the Office for Auditing the -Public Accounts in 1791’. It is, I think, inconceivable that, if the -Jacobean as well as the Elizabethan books had then been discovered, -no reference should have been made to them either by Musgrave or -Malone, and the most probable explanation of the Bodleian scrap is -that the Jacobean books turned up later, and that an abstract of the -1604–5 list was then prepared for the use of Malone. It is true that -in that case the Jacobean books would naturally have been added to -the ‘proper presses’ which Musgrave says that he had provided for the -Elizabethan ones, whereas Cunningham found the two sets apart. But as -Cunningham also says that he had redeemed the Elizabethan bundle from -‘a destructive oblivion’, it is possible that Musgrave’s successors had -been neglectful. Moreover, although the 1604–5 list does not appear in -the 1821 _Variorum_, it is difficult to see on what other grounds -Malone can have stated of _Othello_ (_Variorum_, ii. 404), -‘We know that it was acted in 1604’. Probably, indeed, he had seen the -list, before he abandoned in a note of 1800 to Dryden’s _Grounds of -Criticism in Tragedy_ his earlier opinion that _Othello_ was -one of Shakespeare’s latest plays. Further, there is similar indirect -evidence that he had also come across the 1611–12 list. In 1808 he -privately printed and in 1809 published an _Account of the ... -Tempest_, written ‘some years ago’. The chief object of this was -to fix an inferior date by Shakespeare’s use of a pamphlet of 1610. -The superior date he took for granted, saying (p. 31) ‘That it was -performed before the middle of 1611, we have already seen’, and adding -the foot-note ‘Under a former article’. There was no former article, -but in the preface Malone describes the essay as making ‘a part of -the Disquisition concerning the order of the plays in an enlarged -form’, and no doubt the former article would have been included in -the disquisition, had Malone ever completed his own work. Boswell, -reprinting the essay in _Variorum_, xv. 414, altered the foot-note -to refer to the essay on the Chronological Order of Shakespeare’s Plays -in ‘vol. i’. This is in fact in vol. ii, but though Boswell here states -(ii. 465) that there is evidence that the _Tempest_ ‘was produced -in 1611’, he does not give any evidence beyond the pamphlet of 1610. -Probably he did not know everything that Malone knew. But how did -Malone arrive at ‘the middle of 1611’, since the 1604–5 list does not -take us beyond 1 Nov. 1611? I suppose he assumed that public production -preceded performance at court. Later in the essay (_Variorum_, xv. -423) he says that the play ‘had a being and a name in the autumn of -1611’. - -Since Halliwell-Phillipps’s discovery the prevalent view, suggested by -him, has been that if the lists, or at any rate that of 1604–5, are -forged, the forger had before him a genuine original. More recently, -however, the matter has been fully investigated by Mr. Ernest Law, who -stimulated the Record Office to a minute examination of the 1604–5 -document, including chemical and microscopical tests of the ink -conducted by Professor J. J. Dobbie at the Government Laboratories. -As a result, Mr. Law’s own view that the list is genuine is confirmed -by such high palaeographical authorities as Sir George Warner of the -British Museum and Sir Henry Maxwell Lyte, Mr. Scargill-Bird, and other -officers of the Record Office, as well as by Professor Feuillerat, -than whom no one knows the Revels documents better, and Professor -Wallace. Mr. Law set out the evidence and the whole history of the -case in _Some Supposed Shakespeare Forgeries_ (1911). His view -was controverted in a review and a number of subsequent communications -in the _Athenaeum_ for 1911 (i. 638; ii. 101, 131, 421) and 1912 -(i. 469, 654; ii. 142) by a writer using the signature ‘Audi Alteram -Partem’, whose rather amazing contentions Mr. Law disposed of in the -same periodical (1911, ii. 297, 324, 388; 1912, i. 390, 470) and in -_More about Shakespeare Forgeries_ (1913). A recent controversy -between Mrs. C. C. Stopes, Mr. Law, and Sir E. M. Thompson (_T. L. -S._ 2, 23, 30 Dec. 1920; 27 Jan., 10, 24 Feb. 1921) has led to no -different result. - -I do not think that, in view of the palaeographical investigation, it -is any longer possible to reject the genuineness of the 1604–5 list, -and although that of 1611–12 has not been so minutely tested, it is -pretty obviously of a piece with the ‘Book’ of which it forms a part, -and had it stood alone, probably no suspicion would have fallen upon -it. In fact, it would really be more plausible--although this also is -not in the least plausible--to take the whole documents as forgeries, -than to take the lists as forged insertions in genuine accounts. - -It must be added that there are some singular things about the -substance of the books, with which Mr. Law does not seem to me quite -to grapple. On the whole, that of 1604–5 is rather less perplexing -than that of 1611–12. But the scribe has been oddly confused about his -dates. On f. 1^v he has written ‘iij^o’, instead of ‘ij^o’ for the -regnal year. And at the top of f. 2 he has apparently written ‘1605’ -and then corrected it to ‘1604’. The Queen’s Revels are called by -their obsolete name of ‘The Boyes of the Chapell’, which is odd in an -official document, but so they are, much later, in the Treasurer of the -Chamber’s account for 1612–13. It is more important that, while the -Treasurer of the Chamber records payments for two plays to the Queen’s -Revels, one on 1 Jan. and the other on 3 Jan., the Revels list omits -the play on 3 Jan. altogether, and instead records a performance of -_Love’s Labour’s Lost_ by the King’s men ‘betwin Newers Day and -Twelfe Day’. No complete explanation of this is possible. The most that -can be said is that there is independent evidence of a performance -of _Love’s Labour’s Lost_ in Jan. 1605, but at a date after -and not before Twelfth Night. This is derived from two letters. The -first is from Sir Walter Cope to Robert Cecil, Viscount Cranborne, -preserved at Hatfield (_Hist. MSS._ iii. 148) and printed by -Halliwell-Phillipps, ii. 83: - - ‘I have sent and bene all thys morning huntyng for players - juglers and such kinde of creaturs, but fynde them harde to - fynde; wherfore, leavinge notes for them to seeke me, Burbage - ys come, and sayes ther ys no new playe that the Quene hath not - seene, but they have revyved an olde one cawled _Loves Labore - lost_, which for wytt and mirthe he sayes will please her - excedingly. And thys ys apointed to be playd tomorowe night - at my Lord of Sowthamptons, unless yow send a wrytt to remove - the corpus cum causa to your howse in Strande. Burbage ys my - messenger ready attendyng your pleasure.’ - -The letter is undated, but endorsed ‘1604’. Cecil’s title was Viscount -Cranborne from 20 Aug. 1604 to 4 May 1605. A second letter, from Dudley -Carleton to John Chamberlain on 15 Jan. 1605 (_S. P. D. Jac. I_, -xii. 13) gives within near limits the date of the performance. Carleton -says, - - ‘It seems we shall have Christmas all the yeare and therefore I - shall never be owt of matter. The last nights revels were kept - at my Lord of Cranbornes, where the Q. with the D. of Holst and - a great part of the Court were feasted, and the like two nights - before at my Lord of Southamptons. The Temples have both of them - done somewhat since Twelftide but nothing memorable, save that - it was observed on Friday last at night the greatest part of the - femal audience was the sisterhoode of Blackfriers.’ - -Mr. Law (_More about S. F._ 50) rightly rejects the suggestion of -‘Audi Alteram Partem’ that the ‘last night’ referred to was necessarily -14 Jan., the night before the date of Carleton’s letter; but I think -he is wrong in taking it as the last night of Christmas. This, of -course, was traditionally Twelfth Night, the day in 1605 of Jonson’s -_Mask of Blackness_. But surely Carleton’s whole point lies in -the exceptional prolongation of the Christmas festivities of this year -beyond Twelfth Night, and I feel clear that all the revels he here -refers to fell between 6 and 15 Jan. On 7 and 8 Jan. came _Hen. V_ -and _E. M. O._ Putting the facts together, we get a performance, -either at Southampton’s house or Cranborne’s, between 8 and 15 Jan. of -_Love’s Labour’s Lost_, which the Queen had not seen before. It -is not therefore at all likely that there had been another performance -of the same play at court between 1 and 6 Jan. It is true that the -Queen might by some accident have missed such a performance. But that -would not have prevented the Treasurer of the Chamber from paying for -it, whereas he would not pay for a performance ordered as part of an -entertainment given by Southampton or Cranborne. Nor would it have been -the duty of the Revels Office to attend such a performance, which makes -it rather mystifying that they should have confused it with the second -Queen’s Revels performance at court some days earlier, which it would -have been their duty to attend. The vagueness of the phrase ‘betwin -Newers Day and Twelfe Day’, suggesting that the list was prepared -retrospectively from memory, when the account was made up in the autumn -of 1605, may perhaps help to explain an error. On the other hand, a -forger, presumably knowing nothing of Cope’s letter, which first came -to light in 1872, could hardly have guessed at a revival of _Love’s -Labour’s Lost_ in 1605. - -The discrepancies between the Revels list of 1611–12 and the -corresponding accounts of the Treasurer of the Chamber are rather -numerous. The Revels list records thirteen plays from 1 Nov. to 25 -Feb. ‘before the Kinges Maiestie’, including two which, although, I -suppose, ordered for the King, were in fact only given before the Queen -and Prince. The Treasurer paid for only ten plays as before the King, -and for many others before the younger members of the royal family -only, with which the Revels would not normally be concerned. The two -records agree as to 1 and 5 Nov., 26, 27, and 29 Dec., and 2, 23, and -25 Feb. On 28 Dec. the Treasurer notes a play by the Prince’s men which -the Revels list does not. On 1 Jan. the Revels list notes a play by -the King’s men, which the Treasurer does not. The play on 5 Jan. is -assigned by the Treasurer to the King’s men, and by the Revels list to -the Whitefriars. The plays on 12 and 13 Jan. appear from the Revels -list to have been joint performances by the King’s and Queen’s men, but -the Treasurer notes the play on 12 Jan. only, assigns that to the Duke -of York’s men, and refers to Henry but not to the Queen as present. -He also paid for one play by the King’s men before Henry, of which he -does not give the date, and which may be that of 13 Jan. Both records -note a play by the Duke of York’s men on 24 Feb., but while the Revels -list does not indicate that James was absent, the Treasurer treats the -performance as one before the royal children only. I do not know that -all this is beyond the blundering of the clerks concerned, especially -perhaps the Clerk of the Revels, at a time when the functions of the -office in relation to court plays had become trivial. On the other -hand, I am not clear that plays ordered by the Queen and paid for out -of her privy purse, instead of by the Treasurer of the Chamber, may not -sometimes have been produced under Revels Office auspices; if so, some -of the discrepancies might be thus accounted for. But obviously the -facts necessitate some caution in the use of the 1611–12 list. - - - ABSTRACT OF PAYMENTS - -I now give in tabular form an abstract of all entries in the Chamber -and Revels accounts, which enable us to establish the succession of -court performances during 1558–1616. These are arranged under years -running from Michaelmas to Michaelmas. Four columns are devoted to the -Chamber Accounts. Col. 1 records the dates of the performances, as -recorded in the Declared Accounts. Any correction or closer information -as to date derivable from other sources is added in square brackets. -For the Jacobean period I also show the personages before whom the -performances were given, K. standing for James, Q. for Anne, H. for -Henry, C. for Charles, E. for the Princess Elizabeth, and F. for the -Elector Palatine. Col. 2 contains the verbatim descriptions in the -accounts of the companies performing and their payees, and in a very -few cases of the nature of the performances. A few miscellaneous -entries are inserted in this column. Probably an exhaustive examination -of the records of the subordinate royal households during 1603–16 -might enable a few additions to be made. It is also possible that an -occasional play, perhaps on a progress, may have been rewarded out of -the Privy Purse. But the main series of performances provided for the -regular winter ‘solace’ of the sovereign appears to be fairly complete. -Col. 3 shows the amounts of the rewards. Col. 4 adds the dates of the -warrants for payment as given in the Declared Accounts and in brackets -the places where they were made out, W. for Westminster, H. for Hampton -Court, G. for Greenwich, R. for Richmond, J. for St. James’s, Wi. for -Windsor. I add references to the parallel extracts of Cunningham from -the Original Chamber Accounts (C.), and to the notes of the signing of -warrants in the Privy Council Register (D.) where these exist. A fifth -column, for certain years, adds the relevant extracts from such Revels -Accounts as survive. The references are to Feuillerat’s edition. Any -discrepancies of importance between Chamber, Privy Council, and Revels -records are dealt with in foot-notes. The variant dates of warrants in -the ill-kept Privy Council Register are not important. - - CHAMBER ACCOUNTS.

I have attempted, by extract or summary, - to indicate the main critical positions taken up by writers of - different schools with regard to plays, and at the same time - to preserve the incidental information which they furnish on - points of stage history. It does not seem to me necessary to - do more than cite, as of minor importance, and practically - adding nothing, T. Becon, _The Catechisme_ (1564, _Works_, i, - f. cccccxxxii); E. Hake, _Merry Maidens of London_ (1567), - _A Touchstone for this Time_ (1574), sig. G 4^v; E. Dering, - _Catechisme for Householders_ (1572); T. Brasbridge, _Poor Man’s - Jewel_ (1578); R.

Beard, _Theatre of God’s Judgments_ (1597), 193, 197, - 374; W. Vaughan, _The Golden Grove_ (1600), i. 51; F. Hering, - _Rules for the Prevention of the Sickness_ (1603), sig. A 4^v; - R.

Probably such references could be - multiplied indefinitely; they show how dread of the stage became - a commonplace of pastoral theology.

In 1532 he edited Terence, and - to the same year belongs _Epist._ 1238 (_Opera_, iii. 2, 1457), - which praises the comedies without re-arguing at length the - ethical controversy; cf. W. H.

Semblably -remembring the wisedomes, aduertisements, counsailes, dissuasion from -vice, and other profitable sentences, most eloquently and familiarely -shewed in those comedies, undoubtedly there shall be no litle frute -out of them gathered. And if the vices in them expressed shulde be -cause that myndes of the reders shulde be corrupted: than by the -same argumente nat only entreludes in englisshe, but also sermones, -wherin some vice is declared, shulde be to the beholders and herers -like occasion to encreace sinners.’ Quotes Terence, _Eunuchus_, -v. 4. 8–18, on the moral end of comedy and virtuous counsel from -Plautus, _Amphitruo_, ii. 2. 17–21; Ovid, _Remedia Amoris_, -131–6; and Martial, _Epigr._ xii. 34. ‘Wherfore sens good and -wise mater may be picked out of these poetes, it were no reason, for -some lite mater that is in their verses, to abandone therefore al -their warkes, no more than it were to forbeare or prohibite a man to -come into a faire gardein, leste the redolent sauours of swete herbes -and floures shall meue him to wanton courage, or leste in gadringe -good and holsome herbes he may happen to be stunge with a nettile. -No wyse man entreth in to a gardein but he sone espiethe good herbes -from nettiles, and treadeth the nettiles under his feete whiles he -gadreth good herbes.

P. -286. ‘Of this short tyme of any pureness of the Latin tong, for the -first fortie yeare of it, and all the tyme before, we haue no peece -of learning left, saue _Plautus_ and _Terence_, with a litle rude -vnperfit pamflet of the elder _Cato_. And as for _Plautus_, except the -scholemaster be able to make wise and ware choice, first in proprietie -of wordes, then in framing of phrases and sentences, and chieflie in -choice of honestie of matter, your scholer were better to play, then -learne all that is in him. But surelie, if iudgement for the tong, and -direction for the maners, be wisely ioyned with the diligent reading -of _Plautus_, than trewlie _Plautus_, for that purenesse of the Latin -tong in Rome, whan Rome did most florish in wel doing, and so thereby, -in well speaking also, is soch a plentifull storehouse, for common -eloquence, in meane matters, and all priuate mens affaires, as the -Latin tong, for that respect, hath not the like agayne. Whan I remember -the worthy tyme of Rome, wherein _Plautus_ did liue, I must nedes honor -the talke of that tyme, which we see _Plautus_ doth vse. _Terence_ -is also a storehouse of the same tong, for an other tyme, following -soone after, & although he be not so full & plentiful as _Plautus_ is, -for multitude of matters, & diuersitie of wordes, yet his wordes, be -chosen so purelie, placed so orderly, and all his stuffe so neetlie -packed vp, and wittely compassed in euerie place, as, by all wise -mens iudgement, he is counted the cunninger workeman, and to haue his -shop, for the rowme that is in it, more finely appointed, and trimlier -ordered, than _Plautus_ is.... The matter in both, is altogether within -the compasse of the meanest mens maners, and doth not stretch to any -thing of any great weight at all, but standeth chiefly in vtteryng the -thoughtes and conditions of hard fathers, foolish mothers, vnthrifty -yong men, craftie seruantes, sotle bawdes, and wilie harlots, and so, -is moch spent, in finding out fine fetches, and packing vp pelting -matters, soch as in London commonlie cum to the hearing of the Masters -of Bridewell. Here is base stuffe for that scholer, that should becum -hereafter, either a good minister in Religion, or a Ciuill Ientleman -in seruice of his Prince and contrie: except the preacher do know soch -matters to confute them, whan ignorance surelie in all soch thinges -were better for a Ciuill Ientleman, than knowledge. And thus, for -matter, both Plautus and Terence, be like meane painters, that worke by -halfes, and be cunning onelie, in making the worst part of the picture, -as if one were skilfull in painting the bodie of a naked person, from -the nauell downward, but nothing else.’ - - - viii. 1565.

And -to conclude, there was in times paste no name more infamous then stage -players, and moreouer, al they that had plaide an Enterlude in the -Theater, were by the lawes depriued from all honour.’ Plays are briefly -referred to in ‘Cap. 59.

All dissolute playes ought to be forbidden: All comicall and -tragicall showes of schollers in morall doctrines, and declamations -in causes made to reprooue and accuse vice and extoll vertue are very -profitable.’ _The 7 Chapter_ expands the foregoing.... ‘Great then -is the errour of the magistrate to geue sufferance to these players, -whether they bee minstrels, or enterludours who on a scaffold, babling -vaine newes to the sclander of the world, put there in scoffing the -vertues of honest men.... There often times are blowen abroade the -publike and secreete vices of men, sometimes shrowded under honourable -personage, withe infinite other offences.... How often is the maiestie -of God offended in those twoo or three howres that those playes endure, -both by wicked wordes, and blasphemye, impudent jestures, doubtful -sclaunders, unchaste songes, and also by corruption of the willes of -the players and the assistauntes. Let no man obiect heare that by these -publike plaies, many forbeare to doo euill, for feare to bee publikely -reprehended ... for it may be aunswered first, that in such disguised -plaiers geuen over to all sortes of dissolucion, is not found a wil to -do good, seeing they care for nothing lesse than vertue: secondlye that -is not the meane to correct sinne....

The - sermon is sometimes claimed for Thomas Wilcox; but he was in - ecclesiastical disgrace in 1577 and unlikely to have access to - Paul’s Cross.] - -P. 46. ‘Looke but vppon the common playes in London, and see the -multitude that flocketh to them and followeth them: beholde the -sumptuous Theatre houses, a continuall monument of Londons prodigalitie -and folly. But I vnderstande they are nowe forbidden bycause of the -plague. I like the pollicye well if it holde still, for a disease is -but bodged or patched vp that is not cured in the cause, and the cause -of plagues is sinne, if you looke to it well: and the cause of sinne -are playes: therefore the cause of plagues are playes.... Shall I -reckon vp the monstrous birds that brede in this nest? without doubt I -am ashamed, and I should surely offende your chast eares: but the olde -world is matched, and Sodome ouercome, for more horrible enormities -and swelling sins are set out by those stages, than euery man thinks -for, or some would beleeue, if I shold paint them out in their colours: -without doubt you can scantly name me a sinne, that by that sincke is -not set a gogge: theft and whoredome; pride and prodigality; villanie -and blasphemie; these three couples of helhoundes neuer cease barking -there, and bite manye, so as they are vncurable euer after, so that -many a man hath the leuder wife, and many a wife the shreuder husband -by it: and it can not otherwise be, but that whiche robbeth flatlye the -Lord of all his honor, and is directly against the whole first table of -his law, should make no bones of breache of the second also, which is -toward our neighbour only. Wherefore if thou be a father, thou losest -thy child: if thou be a maister, thou losest thy seruaunt; and thou be -what thou canst be, thou losest thy selfe that hauntest those scholes -of vice, dennes of theeues, and Theatres of all leudnesse: and if it be -not suppressed in time, it will make such a Tragedie, that London may -well mourne whyle it is London, for it is no playing time.’ - - - xvi. 1577. JOHN NORTHBROOKE. - - [From _A Treatise wherein Dicing, Dauncing, Vaine playes, or - Enterluds, with other idle pastimes, &c., commonly used on the - Sabboth day, are reproued by the Authoritie of the word of God - and auntient writers_. N.D. H. Bynneman for George Byshop. - This is doubtless the ‘booke wherein Dycinge, dauncinge, vaine - playenge and Interludes, with other idle pastimes, &c., comonlie - used on the Saboth daie are reproved’, entered for Bishop in S. - R. on 2 Dec. 1577 (Arber, ii. 321). A second edition was printed - in 1579. Northbrooke was a Gloucester minister. The book was - edited by J. P. Collier (1843, _Sh. Soc._).] - -[Summary and Extracts.] The treatise is ‘made dialogue-wise’ between -Youth and Age. _Epistles_ to Sir John Yong and to The Christian -and Faithful Reader, dated respectively from Bristol and Henbury. _A -Treatise against Idlenes, Idle Pastimes, and Playes._ The greater -part deals generally with ‘ydle playes and vaine pastimes’ and their -relation to the Christian life. P. 82. Youth asks Age his opinion -of ‘playes and players, which are commonly vsed and much frequented -in most places in these dayes, especiallye here in this noble and -honourable citie of London’. Age condemns ‘stage playes and enterludes’ -as ‘not tollerable, nor sufferable in any common weale, especially -where the Gospell is preached; for it is right prodigalitie, which -is opposite to liberalitie’. Considers ‘the giftes, buildings, and -maintenance of such places for players a spectacle and schoole for -all wickednesse and vice to be learned in’, and particularly applies -this to ‘those places also, whiche are made vppe and builded for such -playes and enterludes, as the Theatre and Curtaine is, and other such -lyke places.... Satan hath not a more speedie way, and fitter schoole -to work and teach his desire, to bring men and women into his snare -of concupiscence and filthie lustes of wicked whoredome, than those -places, and playes, and theatres are; and therefore necessarie that -those places, and players, shoulde be forbidden, and dissolued, and put -downe by authoritie, as the brothell houses and stewes are’. Quotes the -Fathers on the offences to chastity at theatres. P. 92. Condemns the -playing of ‘histories out of the scriptures. By the long suffering and -permitting of these vaine plays, it hath stricken such a blinde zeale -into the heartes of the people, that they shame not to say, and affirme -openly, that playes are as good as sermons, and that they learne as -much or more at a playe, than they do at God’s worde preached.... Many -can tarie at a vayne playe two or three houres, when as they will not -abide scarce one houre at a sermon.... I speake (alas! with griefe -and sorowe of heart) against those people that are so fleshlye ledde, -to see what rewarde there is giuen to such crocodiles, whiche deuoure -the pure chastitie bothe of single and maried persons, men and women, -when as in their playes you shall learne all things that appertayne to -craft, mischiefe, deceytes, and filthinesse, &c. If you will learne -howe to bee false and deceyue your husbandes, or husbandes their wyues, -howe to playe the harlottes, to obtayne one’s loue, howe to rauishe, -howe to beguyle, howe to betraye, to flatter, lye, sweare, forsweare, -how to allure to whoredome, howe to murther, howe to poyson, howe to -disobey and rebell against princes, to consume treasures prodigally, -to mooue to lustes, to ransacke and spoyle cities and townes, to -bee ydle, to blaspheme, to sing filthie songs of loue, to speake -filthily, to be prowde, howe to mocke, scoffe, and deryde any nation -... shall not you learne, then, at such enterludes howe to practise -them?... Therefore, great reason it is that women (especiallye) shoulde -absent themselues from such playes.’ Notes the _infamia_ of -_histriones_, which he translates ‘enterlude players’, and refers -to the statute of 1572. Expounds the heathen origin of plays. P. 101. -Youth admits ‘that they ought to be ouerthrowne and put downe.... Yet -I see little sayd, and lesse done vnto them; great resort there is -daily vnto them, and thereout sucke they no small aduantage’. P. 102. -‘They vse to set vp their billes vpon postes certain dayes before, to -admonishe the people to make their resort vnto their theatres, that -they may thereby be the better furnished, and the people prepared to -fill their purses with their treasures.’ P. 102. Youth concludes: ‘I -maruaile the magistrates suffer them thus to continue, and to haue -houses builded for such exercises.... I maruaile much, sithe the rulers -are not onely negligent and slowe herein to doe, but the preachers are -as dumme to speake and saye in a pulpitte against it’; and Age: ‘I -doubt not but God will so moue the hearts of magistrates, and loose -the tongue of the preachers in such godly sort (by the good deuout -prayers of the faithfull) that both with the sworde and the worde such -vnfruitfull and barren trees shall be cut downe’. P. 103. Youth then -raises the question of scholastic plays. These Age admits. ‘I thinke -it is lawefull for a schoolmaster to practise his schollers to playe -comedies, obseruing these and the like cautions: first, that those -comedies which they shall play be not mixt with anye ribaudrie and -filthie termes and wordes (which corrupt good manners). Secondly, that -it be for learning and vtterance sake, in Latine, and very seldome -in Englishe. Thirdly, that they vse not to play commonly and often, -but verye rare and seldome. Fourthlye, that they be not pranked and -decked vp in gorgious and sumptious apparell in their play. Fiftly, -that it be not made a common exercise, publickly, for profit and gaine -of money, but for learning and exercise sake. And lastly, that their -comedies be not mixte with vaine and wanton toyes of loue. These being -obserued, I iudge it tollerable for schollers.’ _An Inuectiue against -Dice-Playing_ and _A Treatise against Dauncing_. - - - xvii. 1578.

John Stockwood was Master of - Tonbridge Grammar School.] - -P. 23. ‘Wyll not a fylthye playe, wyth the blast of a Trumpette, sooner -call thyther a thousande, than an houres tolling of a Bell, bring to -the Sermon a hundred? nay euen heere in the Citie, without it be at -this place, and some other certaine ordinarie audience, where shall -you finde a reasonable company? whereas, if you resorte to the Theatre, -the Curtayne, and other places of Playes in the Citie, you shall on the -Lords day haue these places, with many other that I can not recken, so -full, as possible they can throng.’ P. 50. ‘We notwithstanding on the -Lordes daye must haue Fayers kept, must haue Beare bayting, Bulbayting -(as if it wer a thing of necessity for the Beares of Paris garden to be -bayted on the Sunnedaye) must haue baudie Enterludes.’ P. 85. Calls on -the Mayor, Sheriffs and Aldermen as ‘publike magistrates’ to keep watch -against ‘flocking and thronging to baudie playes by thousandes’ on the -Lord’s Day, and notes ‘resorting to playes in the time of sermons a -thing too manifest’. P. 133. ‘There be not many places where y^e word -is preached besides the Lords day (I woulde to God there were) yet euen -that day the better parte of it is horriblie prophaned by diuellishe -inuentions, as with Lords of Misserule, Morice dauncers, May-games, -insomuch that in some places, they shame not in y^e time of diuine -seruice, to come and daunce aboute the Church, and without to haue -men naked dauncing in nettes, which is most filthie: for the heathen -that neuer hadde further knowledge, than the lighte of nature, haue -counted it shamefull for a Player to come on the stage without a slop, -and therefore amongest Christians I hope suche beastly brutishnesse -shal not be let escape vnpunished, for whiche ende I recite it, and -can tell, if I be called, where it was committed within these fewe -weekes. What should I speake of beastlye Playes, againste which out of -this place euery man crieth out? haue we not houses of purpose built -with great charges for the maintenance of them, and that without the -liberties, as who woulde say, there, let them saye what they will say, -we will play. I know not how I might with the godly learned especially -more discommende the gorgeous Playing place erected in the fieldes, -than to terme it, as they please to haue it called, a Theatre ... I -will not here enter this disputation, whether it be vtterly vnlawfull -to haue any playes, but will onelye ioine in this issue, whether in -a Christian common wealth they be tolerable on the Lords day.... If -playing in the Theatre or any other place in London, as there are by -sixe that I know to many, be any of the Lordes wayes (which I suppose -there is none so voide of knowledge in the world wil graunt) then not -only it may, but ought to be vsed, but if it be any of the wayes of -man, it is no work for y^e Lords Sabaoth, and therfore in no respecte -tollerable on that daye.’ P. 137. ‘For reckening with the leaste, the -gaine that is reaped of eighte ordinarie places in the Citie whiche I -knowe, by playing but once a weeke (whereas many times they play twice -and somtimes thrice) it amounteth to 2000 pounds by the yeare.’ - - - xviii. 1578. JOHN FLORIO. - - [From _First Fruites_ (1578), A_{1}, an Anglo-Italian phrase - book.] - - Where shal we goe? - To a playe at the Bull, or els to some other place. - Doo Comedies like you wel? - Yea sir, on holy dayes. - They please me also wel, but the preachers wyll not allowe them. - Wherefore, knowe you it: - They say, they are not good. - And wherfore are they vsed? - Because euery man delites in them. - I beleeue there is much knauerie vsed at those Comedies: what thinke you? - So beleeue I also. - - - xix. 1578. GEORGE WHETSTONE. - - [From _Epistle_ to William Fleetwood, dated 29 July 1578, - prefixed to _Promos and Cassandra_; cf. ch. xxiii.] - -... I devided the whole history into two Commedies: for that, Decorum -used, it would not be convayde in one. The effects of both, are -good and bad: vertue intermyxt with vice, unlawful desyres (yf it -were possible) queancht with chaste denyals: al needefull action (I -thinke) for publike vewe. For by the rewarde of the good, the good -are encowraged in wel doinge: and with the scowrge of the lewde, the -lewde are feared from evil attempts: mainetayning this my oppinion -with Platoes auctority. ‘Nawghtinesse commes of the corruption of -nature, and not by readinge or hearinge the lives of the good or lewde -(for such publication is necessarye), but goodnesse (sayth he) is -beawtifyed by either action.’ And to these ends Menander Plautus and -Terence, themselves many yeares since intombed, (by their Commedies) -in honour live at this daye. The auncient Romanes heald these showes -of suche prise, that they not onely allowde the publike exercise of -them, but the grave Senators themselves countenaunced the Actors with -their presence: who from these trifles wonne morallyte, as the Bee -suckes the honny from weedes. But the advised devises of auncient -Poets, discredited with the tryfels of yonge, unadvised, and rashe -witted wryters, hath brought this commendable exercise in mislike. -For at this daye, the Italian is so lascivious in his commedies, that -honest hearers are greeved at his actions: the Frenchman and Spaniarde -folowes the Italians humor: the Germaine is too holye: for he presentes -on everye common Stage, what Preachers should pronounce in Pulpets. -The Englishman in this quallitie, is most vaine, indiscreete, and -out of order: he fyrst groundes his worke, on impossibilities: then -in three howers ronnes he throwe the worlde: marryes, gets Children, -makes Children men, men to conquer kingdomes, murder monsters, and -bringeth Gods from Heaven, and fetcheth Divels from Hel. And (that -which is worst) their ground is not so unperfect, as their working -indiscreete: not waying, so the people laugh, though they laugh them -(for theyr folleys) to scorne: Manye tymes (to make mirthe) they -make a Clowne companion with a Kinge: in theyr grave Counsels, they -allow the advise of fooles: yea they use one order of speach for all -persones: a grose _Indecorum_, for a Crowe wyll yll counterfet the -Nightingales sweete voice: even so, affected Speeche doth misbecome a -Clowne. For to work a Commedie kindly, grave olde men should instruct: -yonge men should showe the imperfections of youth: Strumpets should -be lascivious: Boyes unhappy: and Clownes should be disorderly: -entermingling all these actions, in suche sorte, as the grave matter -may instruct, and the pleasant delight: for without this chaunge, -the attention would be small, and the likinge, lesse. But leave I -this rehearsall, of the use, and abuse of Commedies: least that I -check that in others, which I cannot amend in my selfe. But this I am -assured, what actions so ever passeth in this History, either merry, or -morneful: grave or lascivious; the conclusion showes the confusion of -Vice, and cherishing of Vertue.... - - - xx. 1579.

On 5 (or - 16) Oct. 1579 Spenser wrote to Gabriel Harvey (Gregory Smith, - i. 89, from _Two Other very Commendable Letters_, 1580): ‘Newe - Bookes I heare of none, but only of one, that writing a certaine - Booke, called The Schoole of Abuse, and dedicating it to Maister - Sidney, was for hys labor scorned, if at leaste it be in the - goodnesse of that nature to scorne. Suche follie is it not to - regarde aforehande the inclination and qualitie of him to whome - wee dedicate oure Bookes.’] - -[Summary and Extracts.] _Epistle to Sidney. Epistle to the -Reader_.... ‘I take vpon mee to driue you from playes, when mine -owne woorkes are dayly to be seene vpon stages, as sufficient witnesses -of mine owne folly, and seuere iudges againste my selfe.’ Poetry and -Music are first attacked; an apologist for Homer being likened (p. 21) -‘to some of those players, that come to the scaffold with drum and -trumpet to profer skirmishe, and when they haue sounded allarme, off -go the peeces to encounter a shadow, or conquere a paper monster.’ P. -28. ‘As poetrie and piping are cosen germans: so piping and playing -are of great affinity, and all three chayned in linkes of abuse.’ P. -29. ‘I was first instructed in the university, after drawne like a -nouice to these abuses.’ Criticism of the theatre by the graver Greeks -and Romans and its abuses in Rome. Similar abuses have replaced ‘the -olde discipline of Englande’. P. 35. ‘In our assemblies at playes in -London, you shall see suche heauing, and shoouing, suche ytching and -shouldring, too sitte by the women; suche care for their garments, -that they bee not trode on: such eyes to their lappes, that no chippes -light in them: such pillowes to ther backes, that they take no hurte: -such masking in their eares, I knowe not what: such giuing them pippins -to passe the time: suche playing at foote saunt without cardes: such -ticking, such toying, such smiling, such winking, and such manning -them home, when the sportes are ended, that it is a right comedie, to -marke their behauiour, to watche their conceites, as the catte for the -mouse, and as good as a course at the game it selfe, to dogge them a -little, or followe aloofe by the printe of their feete, and so discouer -by slotte where the deare taketh soyle. If this were as well noted, -as ill seene: or as openly punished, as secretly practised: I haue no -doubte but the cause would be seared to dry vp the effect, and these -prettie rabbets very cunningly ferretted from their borrowes. For -they that lack customers al the weeke, either because their haunte is -vnknowen, or the constables and officers of their parishe watch them -so narrowly, that they dare not queatche, to celebrate the Sabboth, -flock to theaters, and there keepe a generall market of bawdrie: not -that any filthynesse in deede is committed within the compasse of that -grounde, as was doone in Rome, but that euery wanton and his paramour, -euery man and his mistresse, euery John and his Joan, euery knaue and -his queane, are there first acquainted and cheapen the merchandise in -that place, which they pay for elsewhere as they can agree.’ Players -at least indirectly to blame for London’s wantonness. P. 37. ‘They -seeke not to hurte, but desire too please: they haue purged their -comedyes of wanton speaches, yet the corne whiche they sell, is full -of cockle, and the drinke that they drawe, ouercharged with dregges.’ -Advises those who would avoid offence to avoid the theatre. The -abuses are contrary to the Queen’s will. P. 39. ‘How often hath her -Maiestie, with the graue aduise of her honorable Councell, sette downe -the limits of apparell to euery degree, and how soone againe hath the -pride of our harts ouerflowen the chanel? How many times hath accesse -to theaters beene restrayned, and how boldly againe haue we reentred. -Ouerlashing in apparel is so common a fault, that the very hyerlings -of some of our players, which stand at reuersion of vi.s by the weeke, -iet vnder gentlemens noses in sutes of silke, exercising themselues -too prating on the stage, and common scoffing when they come abrode, -where they looke askance ouer the shoulder at euery man, of whom the -Sunday before they begged an almes. I speake not this, as though euerye -one that professeth the qualitie so abused him selfe, for it is well -knowen, that some of them are sober, discreete, properly learned honest -housholders and citizens well thought on amonge their neighbours at -home, though the pryde of their shadowes (I meane those hangebyes -whome they succour with stipend) cause them to bee somewhat il talked -of abroade. And as some of the players are farre frome abuse: so some -of their playes are without rebuke: which are as easily remembered as -quickly reckoned. The twooe prose bookes plaied at the Belsauage, where -you shall finde neuer a woorde without wit, neuer a line without pith, -neuer a letter placed in vaine. The _Iew_ and _Ptolome_, -showne at the Bull, the one representing the greedinesse of worldly -chusers, and bloody mindes of usurers: the other very liuely descrybing -how seditious estates, with their owne deuises, false friendes, with -their owne swoordes, and rebellious commons in their owne snares are -owerthrowne: neither with amorous gesture wounding the eye: nor with -slouenly talke hurting the eares of the chast hearers. The _Blacke -Smiths daughter_, and _Catilins Conspiracies_ vsually brought -in to the Theater: the first contayning the trechery of Turkes, the -honourable bountye of a noble minde, and the shining of vertue in -distresse: the last, because it is knowen too be a pig of myne owne -sow, I will speake the lesse of it; onely giuing you to vnderstand, -that the whole marke which I shot at in that woorke, was too showe the -rewarde of traytors in Catilin, and the necessary gouernment of learned -men, in the person of Cicero, which forsees euery danger that is likely -to happen, and forstalles it continually ere it take effect.... These -playes are good playes and sweete playes, and of al playes the best -playes and most to be liked, woorthy to bee soung of the Muses, or set -out with the cunning of Roscius himself, yet are they not fit for euery -mans dyet: neither ought they commonly to bee shewen. Now if any man -aske me why my selfe haue penned comedyes in time paste, and inueigh -so egerly against them here, let him knowe that _Semel insaniuimus -omnes_: I have sinned, and am sorry for my fault: hee runnes farre -that neuer turnes, better late than neuer. I gaue my self to that -exercise in hope to thriue but I burnt one candle to seek another, and -lost bothe my time and my trauell, when I had doone.’ Deprecates the -excuse that plays keep idle heads occupied. P. 42. ‘These because they -are allowed to play euery Sunday, make iiii or v Sundayes at least -euery weeke, and all that is doone is good for Augustus, to busy the -wittes of his people, for running a wool-gathering, and emptie their -purses for thriuing to fast.’ Has shown the abuses of players out of -profane writers rather than out of the Scriptures. Exhorts against -vanity; but, p. 44, ‘if players can promise in woordes, and performe it -in deedes, proclame it in their billes, and make it good in theaters; -that there is nothing there noysome too the body, nor hurtfull to the -soule: and that euerye one which comes to buye their iestes, shall -haue an honest neighbour, tagge and ragge, cutte and longe tayle, goe -thither and spare not, otherwise I aduise you to keepe you thence, my -selfe will beginne too leade the daunce’. Briefly reprehends dancers, -tumblers, dicers, carders, and bowlers, and more at length fencers. -_Epistle to Sir Richard Pipe, Lord Mayor, and the Aldermen_.... -P. 56. ‘I woulde the abuses of my Schoole were as wel knowen of you, -to reformation: as they are found out by other to their owne peril. -But the fishe _Sepia_ can trouble the water to shun the nettes, -that are shot to catch her: _Torpedo_ hath craft inough at the -first touch to inchant the hooke, to coniure the line, to bewitch -the rod, and to benumme the handes of him that angleth. Whether our -players be the spawnes of such fishes, I know not wel, yet I am sure -that how many nets so euer ther be layde to take them, or hookes to -choke them, they haue ynke in their bowels to darken the water, and -sleights in their budgets, to dry vp the arme of euery magistrate. If -their letters of commendations were once stayed, it were easie for you -to ouerthrow them.... I doubte not but the gouernours of London will -vexe mee for speaking my minde, when they are out of their wittes, and -banishe their players, when they are beste aduised.’ _Epistle to -the Gentlewomen Citizens of London_.... P. 58. ‘It is not ... your -sober countenance, that defendeth your credite; nor your friends which -accompany your person, that excuse your folly; nor your modestie at -home, that couereth your lightnesse, if you present your selues in open -theaters.... Though you go to theaters to se sport, Cupid may catche -you ere you departe....

P. 24. Of comedies -he says, ‘Tulley defines them thus, _Comedia_ (saith he) is -_imitatio vitae, speculum consuetudinis, et imago veritatis_’. -P. 27. He has concessions to make. ‘I wish as zealously as the best -that all abuse of playinge weare abolished, but for the thing, the -antiquitie causeth me to allow it, so it be used as it should be. I -cannot allow the prophaning of the Sabaoth. I praise your reprehension -in that; you did well in discommending the abuse, and surely I wysh -that folly wer disclaymed; it is not to be admitted, it maks those -sinne, which perhaps if it were not, would have binne present at a good -sermon. It is in the magistrate to take away that order, and appoynt -it otherwyse. But sure it were pittie to abolish that which hath so -great vertue in it, because it is abused.’ P. 28. He turns on the -critic. ‘But, after your discrediting of playmaking, you salue upon -the sore somewhat, and among many wise workes there be some that fitte -your vaine: The Practice of Parasites is one, which I meruel it likes -you so well, since it bites you so sore. But sure in that I like your -judgement, and for the rest to, I approue your wit, but for the pigg -of your owne sow, (as you terme it) assuredly I must discommend your -verdit: Tell me, Gosson, was all your owne you wrote there? did you -borow nothing of your neyghbours? Out of what booke patched you out -Cicero’s Oration? Whence fet you Catilin’s Inuectiue?.... Beleue me -I should preferr Wilson’s Shorte and sweete if I were judge, a peece -surely worthe prayse, the practice of a good scholler; would the wiser -would ouerlooke that, they may perhaps cull some wisedome out of a -player’s toye.’ Assents to Gosson’s rebuke of carders, dicers, fencers, -bowlers, dancers, and tumblers. - - - xxiv. 1579.

I think it necessary, before -I set downe the discourses of _Phialo_ ... to whippe out those Doggs, -which haue barked ... at mee for writinge the _Schoole of Abuse_.... It -is not long since, a friend of mine presented me with straunge newes -out of _Affrick_ [in margin, ‘A Libell cast out against the Schoole -of Abuse’] requesting me earnestly to shape them an answere.... I ... -unfolded the Paper, and found nothing within but guttes and garbage.... -And had not the writer himself, which sent these newes into _England_, -reuealed his name to some of his friends by whom I hearde it, I would -haue iudged such a Daw to bee hacht in _Barbary_, and the tydinges -that came, to be scribled in post.... This Doctour of _Affrike_ with -a straunge kinde of style begins to write thus: _To his frinds the -Plaiers_ ... If Players get no better Atturnie to pleade their case, I -will holde mee contented where the Haruest is harde, too take Otes of -yl debters in parte of payment.... I intende not to aunswere him.... -_An Apologie of the Schoole of Abuse_.... Such is the skirmishe of our -players, who perceiuing the truthe to stand on my side as an armour of -proofe; and finding them selues vnappointed for the fielde, keepe a -farre off, biting me in corners, casting out libels which are but clay, -and rattle on mine armour, or tippe me on the shinnes, without farther -hurt.... If plaiers take a little more counsel of their pillowe, they -shall finde them selues to be the worste and the daungerousest people -in the world.... If Diogenes were nowe aliue, to see the abuses that -growe by playes, I beleeue hee would wyshe rather to bee a Londoners -hounde than his apprentice, bicause hee rateth his dogge, for wallowing -in carrion; but rebukes not his seruaunt for resorting to playes, that -are ranke poyson.... We perceiue not ... that players counterfaiting a -shewe to make vs merry, shoote their nettes to worke our misery; that -when _Comedie_ comes vpon the stage, _Cupide_ sets vpp a Springe for -Woodcockes, which are entangled ere they descrie the line, and caught -before they mistruste the snare.... Our players, since I set out the -_Schole of abuse_, haue trauailed to some of mine acquaintance of both -Vniuersities, with fayre profers, and greater promises of rewardes, -yf they woulde take so much paine as too write agaynst mee.... When -neither of both Vniuersities would heare their plea, they were driuen -to flie to a weake hedge, and fight for themselues with a rotten -stake.... It is tolde mee that they haue got one in London to write -certaine _Honest Excuses_, for so they tearme it, to their dishonest -abuses which I reuealed.... How he frames his excuses, I knowe not yet, -because it is doone in hudder mudder. Trueth can neuer be Falsehods -Visarde, which maketh him maske without a torche and keepe his papers -very secret.... If the Excuser be the man that is named to me, he is -as famous a Clarke as _Clauitius Sabinus_, which was so troubled with -a grosse conceite, and as short a memory, that euery minute he forgote -the names of _Vlisses_, _Achilles_, _Priamus_, and such as he knew as -well as the Begger his dishe....

Yea, which I ad, as excellent an Autor of those vanities, as who -was best.... Praise God, I beseech you, for bringing this Autor, and -Maister Gosson, who made the Schoole of Abuse, out of Babylon.’ _A -second blast of retrait._ This is translated from Salvian, _De -Gubernatione Dei_, lib. vi. _A third blast of retrait._ P. 120. -‘Such doubtles is mine opinion of common plaies, vsual iesting, and -riming extempore that in a Christian-weale they are not sufferable. -My reason is, because they are publike enimies to virtue, & religion: -allurements vnto sinne; corrupters of good manners; the cause of -securitie and carelesnes; meere brothel houses of Bauderie: and bring -both the Gospel into slander; the Sabboth into contempt; mens soules -into danger; and finalie the whole Common-weale into disorder.’ -Offers his judgement for what it is worth; describes his experience -of plays and the reasons that led him to turn from them. P. 123. ‘I -confess that ere this I haue bene a great affecter of that vaine art -of Plaie-making, insomuch that I haue thought no time so wel bestowed, -as when my wits were exercised in the inuention of those follies.’ P. -125. ‘What I shal speake of the abuse of plaies by my owne knowledge, -I know maie be affirmed by hundreds, to whom those matters are as wel -knowen as to my selfe. Some citizens wiues, vpon whom the Lord for -ensample to others hath laide his hands, haue euen on their death beds -with teares confessed, that they haue receiued at those spectacles such -filthie infections, as haue turned their minds from chast cogitations, -and made them of honest women light huswiues; by them they haue -dishonored the vessels of holines; and brought their husbandes into -contempt, their children into question, their bodies into sicknes, and -their soules to the state of euerlasting damnation.... When I gaue -my selfe first to note the abuse of common plaies ... the Theater I -found to be an appointed place of Bauderie; mine owne eares haue heard -honest women allured with abhominable speeches. Sometime I haue seen -two knaues at once importunate vpon one light huswife; whereby much -quarel hath growen to the disquieting of manie. There seruants, as it -is manifestlie to be prooued, haue consented to rob their maisters, to -supplie the want of their harlots; there is the practising with married -wiues to traine them from their husbands, and places appointed for -meeting and conference. When I had taken a note of all these abuses, -& sawe that the Theater was become a consultorie house of Satan, I -concluded with my selfe, neuer to imploie my pen to so vile a purpose, -nor to be an instrument of gathering the wicked together.’ Apologizes -for pressing forward in the cause. The abuse of the Sabbath is the -first thing to be put down. P. 128. ‘Let therefore the Magistrate but -repel them from the libertie of plaieng on the Sabboth daie, For that -is the abuse which is generalie found fault withal, & allowed of none -but those who are altogether destitute of the feare of God, and without -conscience. To plaie on the Sabboth is but a priuiledge of sufferance, -and might with ease be repelled, were it throughlie followed. The -warrant which Magistrats have to forbid plaies is great, and passed -vnto them by such a Prince, whose auctoritie is aboue al auctorities -of earthlie gouernors.... Is not the Sabboth of al other daies the -most abused?... Are not our eies (there) carried awaie with the pride -of vanitie? our eares abused with amorous, that is lecherous, filthie -and abhominable speech? Is not our tong, which was giuen vs onelie to -glorifie God withal, is not our tong there imploied to the blaspheming -of Gods holie Name; or the commendation of that is wicked? Are not our -hartes through the pleasure of the flesh; the delight of the eie; and -the fond motions of the mind, withdrawen from the seruice of the Lord, -& meditation of his goodnes? So that albe it is a shame to saie it, yet -doubtles whosoeuer wil mark with what multitudes those idle places are -replenished, & how emptie the Lordes sanctuarie is of his people, may -wel perceaue what deuotion we haue.... Alas, what folie is in you, to -purchase with a penie damnation to your selues?... The Magistrate is -therefore to prouide in time a remedie to redresse the mischiefes that -are like to ensue by this common plague.... The Magistrates hart must -be as the hart of a Lion. He is not to shrinke in the Lordes cause, -or to stand in feare to reforme abuses of the Common-weale, because -of some particular men of auctoritie.... Alas, that priuate affection -should so raigne in the Nobilitie, that to pleasure, as they thinke, -their seruants, and to vphold them in their vanitie, they should -restraine the Magistrates from executing their office! What credite can -returne to the Noble, to countenance his men to exercise that qualitie -which is not sufferable in anie Common-weale? wheras it was an ancient -custome, that no man of Honor should reteine anie man, but such as -was excellent in some one good qualitie or other, whereby if occasion -so serued, he might get his owne liuing? Then was euerie noble mans -house a Common-weale in it selfe: but since the reteining of these -Caterpillers, the credite of noble men hath decaied, they are thought -to be couetous by permitting their seruants, which cannot liue of them -selues, and whome for neerenes they wil not maintaine, to liue at the -deuotion or almes of other men, passing from countrie to countrie, -from one Gentlemans house to another, offering their seruice, which is -a kind of beggerie. Who in deede, to speake more trulie, are become -beggers for their seruants. For commonlie the goodwil men beare to -their lordes, makes them drawe the stringes of their purses to extend -their liberalitie to them; where otherwise they would not.... Such like -men, vnder the title of their maisters or as reteiners, are priuiledged -to roaue abroad, and permitted to publish their mametree in euerie -Temple of God, and that through England, vnto the horrible contempt of -praier. So that now the Sanctuarie is become a plaiers stage, and a -den of theeues and adulterers.... And trust me I am of that opinion, -that the Lord is neuer so il serued as on the holie-daies. For then -hel breakes loase. Then wee permit our youth to haue their swinge; -and when they are out of the sight of their maisters, such gouernment -haue they of themselues, that what by il companie they meete withal, & -il examples they learne at plaies, I feare me, I feare me their harts -are more alienated in two houres from virtue, than againe maie wel be -amended in a whole yeare.’ P. 135. Players break the first commandment -by profanity. P. 137. Appeal against vanities. ‘Those pleasures of the -stage, what are they, but the drifts of Satan?... The foole no sooner -showeth himselfe in his colors to make men merrie, but straight-waie -lightlie there foloweth some vanitie, not onlie superfluous, but -beastlie and wicked. P. 139. Whosoeuer shal visit the chappel of Satan, -I meane the Theater, shal finde there no want of yong ruffins, nor -lacke of harlots, vtterlie past al shame: who presse to the fore-frunt -of the scaffoldes, to the end to showe their impudencie, and to be as -an obiect to al mens eies. Yea, such is their open shameles behauior, -as euerie man maie perceaue by their wanton gestures, wherevnto they -are giuen; yea, they seeme there to be like brothels of the stewes. For -often without respect of the place and company which behold them, they -commit that filthines openlie, which is horrible to be done in secret; -as if whatsoeuer they did, were warranted. For neither reuerence, -iustice, nor anie thing beside can gouerne them.’ The shamelessness -of young men. ‘Seeke to withdrawe these felowes from the Theater vnto -the sermon, they wil saie, By the preacher they maie be edified, but -by the plaier both edified and delighted.’ P. 142. Plays are a snare -to chastity, both through the examples shown on the stage, and the -comments of companions on the scaffolds. ‘The nature of these Comedies -are, for the most part, after one manner of nature, like the tragical -comedie of Calistus; where the bawdresse Scelestina inflamed the -maiden Melibeia with her sorceries.’ P. 144. Examples of the intrigues -‘aptlie taught in the Schoole of abuse.... I am sorie this schoole is -not pluckt downe by the magistrate; and the schoole-maisters banished -this citie.... The reuerend word of God & histories of the Bible, set -forth on the stage by these blasphemous plaiers, are so corrupted with -their gestures of scurrilitie, and so interlaced with vncleane, and -whorish speeches, that it is not possible to drawe anie profite out -of the doctrine of their spiritual moralities.’ P. 145. Attacks the -authors of plays. ‘The notablest lier is become the best Poet.... Our -nature is led awaie with vanitie, which the auctor perceauing frames -himself with nouelties and strange trifles to content the vaine humors -of his rude auditors, faining countries neuer heard of; monsters -and prodigious creatures that are not; as of the Arimaspie, of the -Grips, the Pigmeies, the Cranes, & other such notorious lies. And if -they write of histories that are knowen, as the life of Pompeie; the -martial affaires of Caesar, and other worthies, they giue them a newe -face, and turne them out like counterfeites to showe themselues on -the stage.... What doe they leaue behind them? monumentes of wanton -wicked life, and doting things for men of these latter daies.... But -some perhaps wil saie, The noble man delighteth in such things, whose -humors must be contented, partlie for feare, & partlie for commoditie: -and if they write matters pleasant, they are best preferred in court -among the cunning heads.... Those goodlie persons, if they be voide of -virtue, maie wel be counted like faire clothes ouer a foule wal; big -bladers ful of wind, yet of no waight.’ P. 147. Attacks the actors. -‘When I see by them yong boies, inclining of themselues vnto wickednes, -trained vp in filthie speeches, vnnatural and vnseemlie gestures, to -be brought vp by these Schoole-masters in bawderie, and in idlenes, -I cannot chuse but with teares and griefe of hart lament.... And as -for those stagers themselues, are they not commonlie such kind of -men in their conuersation, as they are in profession? Are they not -as variable in hart, as they are in their partes? Are they not as -good practisers of Bawderie, as inactors? Liue they not in such sort -themselues, as they giue precepts vnto others? doth not their talke -on the stage declare the nature of their disposition?’ Meets divers -objections. P. 148. ‘But they perhaps wil saie, that such abuses as are -handled on the stage, others by their examples, are warned to beware -of such euils, to amendment.... I cannot by anie means beleeue that -the wordes proceeding from a prophane plaier, and vttered in scorning -sort, interlaced with filthie, lewde, & vngodlie speeches, haue greater -force to mooue men vnto virtue, than the wordes of truth vttered -by the godlie Preacher.... If the good life of a man be a better -instruction to repentance than the tong, or words, why do not plaiers, -I beseech you, leaue examples of goodnes to their posteritie?... Are -they not notoriouslie knowen to be those men in their life abroade, -as they are on the stage, roisters, brallers, il-dealers, bosters, -louers, loiterers, ruffins?... To conclude, the principal end of all -their interludes is to feede the world with sights, & fond pastimes; -to iuggle in good earnest the monie out of other mens purses into -their owne handes.’ P. 150. ‘Some haue obiected, that by these -publique places manie forbeare to do euil for feare to be publiquelie -reprehended. And for that cause they wil saie it was tolerated in Rome, -wherein Emperors were touched, though they were present. But to such -it maie be answered, first that in disguised plaiers giuen ouer to al -sortes of dissolutenes, is not found so much as a wil to do good, seing -they care for nothing lesse than for virtue. Secondlie, that is not a -good meanes to correct sinne. For that if it be secret, it ought not -to be reuealed openlie, but by such meanes to be reformed as Christ -himselfe alloweth in his Gospel.’ P. 151. ‘The antiquitie of plaieng -is likewise often vsed for an argument to proue it allowable. But the -custome of euil is not to be maintained, because of antiquitie.’ P. -152. A final appeal. ‘The citie Marsiles ... would receaue into it -no stage-plaiers.... I would to God the Magistrates of our citie of -London would haue the like foresight. The permission of plaies so long -a time hath alreadie corrupted this citie; and brought the name of -the citizens into slander; the examples of Gods iudgement is at this -present an example in this citie.’ - - - xxviii. 1581.

S._ 157.] - -[Summary and Extracts.] _Epistle to Sir Frances Walsingham._ ‘So fareth -it this present time with me, which giuing forth my Defiaunce vnto -Playes, am mightily beset with heapes of aduersaries.... I thought -it necessarye to nettle one of their Orators aboue the rest, not of -any set purpose to deface hym, because hee hath dealt very grossely, -homely, and vncharitably with me, but like a good Surgeon to cut, & to -seare, when the place requireth, for his owne amendment. Which thinge I -trust shall neither displease your honor, nor any of the godly, in the -reading, so long as the person whom I touch is (as I heare by hys owne -frendes, to hys repentance if he can perceiue it) hunted by the heauy -hand of God, and become little better than a vagarant, looser than -liberty, lighter than vanitie it selfe.’ Plays are an Augean stable to -be cleansed. ‘If euer so notable a thinge bee brought to passe it must -bee done by some Hercules in the Court, whom the roare of the enimy -can neuer daunt.’ Hints that this should be Walsingham. ‘The Gentlemen -Players in the citie of London, are growen in such a heate, that by -their foming, their fretting, their stampinge, my frendes do perceiue -how their harts woorke, and enforce me to bring to your honor no -common fraighte, but as much as my life and securitie hereafter shall -be woorth. If the prouidence of God, who many times scourgeth a man -with the sinne that he loued, haue ordeined those players whom I fed -with fancies, to be a whippe to my back, and a dagger to my brest, the -fault is mine owne, the punishmente due.’ _Epistle to the Universities -and Inns of Court._ P. 165. ‘I was very willing to write at this time, -because I was enformed by some of you which heard it with your ears, -that since my publishing the _Schole of Abuse_, two Playes of my making -were brought to the Stage: the one was a cast of Italian deuises, -called, The Comedie of Captaine Mario: the other a Moral, Praise at -parting. These they very impudently affirme to be written by me since -I had set out my inuectiue against them. I can not denie, they were -both mine, but they were both penned two yeeres at the least before I -forsoke them, as by their owne friends I am able to proue: but they -haue got suche a custome of counterfaiting vpon the Stage, that it is -growen to a habite, & will not be lefte. God knoweth, before whom to -you all I doe protest, as I shall answer to him at the last day, when -al hidden secrets shal be discouered, since the first printing of my -Inuectiue, to this day, I neuer made Playe for them nor any other.... I -departed from the City of London, and bestowed my time in teaching yong -Gentlemen in the Countrie, where I continue with a very worshipfull -Gentleman, and reade to his sonnes in his owne house.... As sonne as I -had inueighed against Playes, I withdrewe my selfe from them to better -studies, which so long as I liue I trust to follow.’ _The Confutation -of Playes. The First Action._ The Efficient Cause of Plays. Defends -his own change of mind. P. 167. ‘When I firste gaue my selfe to the -studie of Poetrie, and to set my cunning abroache, by penning Tragedies -and Comedies in the Citte of London: perceiuing such a Gordians knot -of disorder in euery play house, as woulde neuer bee loosed without -extremitie, I thought it better with Alexander to draw y^e sword that -should knappe it a sunder at one stroke, than to seeke ouernisely or -gingerly to vndoe it, with the losse of my time and wante of successe. -This caused mee to bidde them the base at their owne gole, and to geue -them a volley of heathen writers: that our diuines considering the -danger of suche houses as are set vp in London against the Lord, might -better them thoroughly with greater shotts.’ An incomplete remedy. -‘Acknowledging the mischiefe bred by playes wee hope to auoid yt by -changing their day yet suffer them still to remaine amonge vs.... The -abhominable practises of playes in London haue bene by godly preachers, -both at Paules crosse, and else where so zealously, so learnedly, so -loudly cried out vpon to small redresse; that I may well say of them, -as the Philosophers reporte of the moouing of the heauens, we neuer -heare them, because we euer heare them.’ Notes an answer to him. P. -169. ‘Amongest all the fauorers of these vncircumcised Philistines, -I meane the Plaiers, whose heartes are not right, no man til of late -durst thrust out his heade to mayntaine there quarrell, but one, in -witt, simple; in learning, ignorant; in attempt, rash; in name, Lodge: -whose booke, as it came not to my handes in one whole yeere after the -priuy printing thereof, so I confesse, that to it, before this time, -I aunswered nothing, partlie because he brought nothing; partlie -because my hearte was to bigge, to wrastle with him, that wanteth -armes. Therefore considering with my selfe that such kinde of sores -might bee launced to sone, I chose rather to let him ripen and breake -of him selfe, that vomiting out his owne disgrace, & being worne out -of fauour among his own friends, I might triumph in the cause & shedde -no blood.... Some of his acquaintance haue vaunted to cut and hewe -mee, I knowe not howe.’ The Devil is the efficient cause of plays, as -noted by Tertullian. P. 171. ‘And William [‘Thomas’ on a cancel in some -copies] Lodge in that patchte pamphlet of his ... confesseth openly -that playes were consecrated by the heathens to y^e honour of their -gods.’ Expounds the policy of the Devil in the matter. P. 172. ‘First -hee sente ouer many wanton Italian bookes.... Not contented with the -number he hath corrupted with reading Italian baudery, because all -cannot reade, [he] presenteth vs Comedies cut by the same paterne, -which drag such a monstrous taile after them, as is able to sweep whole -Cities into his lap.’ Argues that plays are of idolatrous origin, and -disliked by Scipio Nasica and other severer Romans. Rome held players -infamous. P. 178. ‘Wherefore I beseech God so to touch the heartes of -our Magistrates with a perfite hatred of sinne, and feare of Iudgement; -so to stirr vp some noble Scipio in the Courte, that these daunsing -Chaplines of Bacchus and all such as set vp these wicked artes, may be -driuen out of Englande.’ _The Second Action._ The Material Cause of -Plays. P. 179. ‘Yonge Master Lodge thinking to iett vpon startoppes, -and steale an ynche of his hight by the bare name of Cicero, allegeth -from him, y^t a Play is the Schoolmistresse of life; the lookinge -glasse of manners; and the image of trueth.... It seemeth that Master -Lodge saw this in Tullie with other folkes eyes, and not his owne. -For to my remembrance I neuer read it in him, neither doe I thinke -that Master Lodge can shewe it me.’ Cites passages of Cicero against -_spectacula_. Sets down the matter of plays. P. 180. ‘The argument of -Tragedies is wrath, crueltie, incest, iniurie, murther eyther violent -by sworde, or voluntary by poyson. The persons, Gods, Goddesses, -furies, fiendes, Kinges, Quenes, and mightie men. The grounde worke of -Commedies, is loue, cosenedge, flatterie, bawderie, slye conueighance -of whoredome; The persons, cookes, queanes, knaues, baudes, parasites, -courtezannes, lecherous olde men, amorous yong men.’ Criticizes the -Lodge-Cicero metaphor in detail. Plays no schoolmistress of life. ‘The -beholding of troubles and miserable slaughters that are in Tragedies, -driue vs to immoderate sorrow, heauines, womanish weeping and mourning, -whereby we become louers of dumpes, and lamentation, both enemies to -fortitude. Comedies so tickle our senses with a pleasanter vaine, that -they make vs louers of laughter, and pleasure, without any meane, both -foes to temperance. What schooling is this? Sometime you shall see -nothing but the aduentures of an amorous knight, passing from countrie -to countrie for the loue of his lady, encountring many a terible -monster made of broune paper, & at his retorne, is so wonderfully -changed, that he can not be knowne but by some posie in his tablet, -or by a broken ring, or a handkircher, or a piece of a cockle shell. -What learne you by that? When y^e soule of your playes is eyther meere -trifles, or Italian baudery, or wooing of gentlewomen, what are we -taught?’ Aristotle forbade plays to the young. P. 182. ‘If any goodnes -were to be learned at Playes it is likely that the Players them selues -which committ euery sillable to memory shoulde profitte most ... but -the dayly experience of their behauiour sheweth, that they reape no -profit by the discipline them selues.’ Thinks Master Lodge found ‘some -peeuish index or gatherer of Tullie to be a sleepe.... Wherein I -perceiue hee is no changeling, for he disputeth as soundly being from -the vniuersitie and out of exercise, as he did when hee was there, and -at his booke.’ P. 183. Plays no glass of behaviour. Manners should -not be rebuked where no reply is possible, or before such judges as -‘the common people which resorte to Theaters being but an assemblie -of Tailers, Tinkers, Cordwayners, Saylers, olde Men, yong Men, Women, -Boyes, Girles, and such like’. The Roman law of libel restrained ‘the -ouer-lashing of players’. P. 185. Criticizes [Wilson’s] _The Three -Ladies of London_ [cf. ch. xxiii] for making Love detest and Conscience -allow plays; also a rival play of _London against the Three Ladies_. -Denies that intention either of poets or players is to profit those -they rebuke. P. 187. Plays not the image of truth. P. 188. ‘In Playes -either those thinges are fained that neuer were, as Cupid and Psyche -plaid at Paules; and a greate many Comedies more at ye Blacke friers -and in euery Playe house in London, which for breuities sake I ouer -skippe: of if a true Historie be taken in hand, it is made like our -shadows, longest at the rising and falling of the Sunne, shortest -of all at hie noone. For the Poets driue it most commonly vnto such -pointes as may best showe the maiestie of their pen in Tragicall -speaches; or set the hearers a gogge with discourses of loue; or painte -a fewe antickes to fitt their owne humors with scoffes & tauntes; or -wring in a shewe to furnish the Stage when it is to bare; when the -matter of it selfe comes shorte of this, they followe the practise of -the cobler, and set their teeth to the leather to pull it out. So was -the history of Caesar and Pompey, and the Playe of the Fabii at the -Theater, both amplified there, where the Drummes might walke, or the -pen ruffle; when the history swelled and ran to hye for the number of -y^e persons that should playe it, the Poet with Proteus [? Procrustes] -cut the same fit to his owne measure; when it afoorded no pompe at -al, he brought it to the racke to make it serue.... I may boldely say -it because I haue seene it, that the Palace of pleasure, the Golden -Asse, the Œthiopian historie, Amadis of Fraunce, the Rounde Table, -baudie Comedies in Latine, French, Italian, and Spanish, haue beene -throughly ransackt to furnish the Playe houses in London.... Forsooth -saith the Authour of the Playe of plays showen at the Theater, the -three and twentieth of Februarie last: They shalbe nowe purged, the -matter shalbe good.... As for that glosing plaie at y^e Theater which -profers you so faire, there is enterlaced in it a baudie song of a -maide of Kent, and a little beastly speech of the new stawled roge, -both which I am compelled to burie in silence, being more ashamed to -vtter them than they.’ Thinks the minority of honest plays a trick of -the devil. Repeats his points as to the idolatrous origin of plays and -the infamy of players at Rome. The devil makes them alluring. P. 192. -‘For the eye, beeside the beautie of the houses and the Stages, hee -sendeth in Gearish apparell, maskes, vauting, tumbling, daunsing of -gigges, galiardes, morisces, hobbihorses, showing of iudgeling castes.’ -_The Third Action._ The Formal Cause of Plays. P. 195. ‘The Law of God -very straightly forbids men to put on womens garments.’ This is not to -be explained away as a prohibition of disguises meant to facilitate -adultery, but is absolute. P. 197. ‘In Stage Playes for a boy to put -one the attyre, the gesture, the passions of a woman; for a meane -person to take vpon him the title of a Prince with counterfeit porte, -and traine, is by outwarde signes to shewe them selues otherwise then -they are, and so with in the compasse of a lye, which by Aristotles -iudgement is naught of it selfe and to be fledde.’ Admits that Gregory -Nazianzen and Buchanan wrote plays. ‘To what ende? To be Plaied vpon -Stages? neither Players nor their friendes are able to proue it.’ -Refutes another objection. P. 198. ‘Let the Author of the playe of -playes & pastimes, take heede how he reason y^t action, pronuntiation, -agility of body are y^e good gifts of God. _Ergo_, plaies consisting -of these cannot be euill.’ Even the heathens condemned the waste of -money in spectacles. _The Fourth Action._ The Final Cause of Plays. P. -201. The end of plays is sinful delight, as is proved by the admissions -of Menander and Terence, ‘By the manner of penning in these dayes, -because the Poets send theire verses to the Stage vpon such feete -as continually are rowled vp in rime at the fingers endes, which is -plaucible to the barbarous, and carrieth a stinge into the eares of -the common people. By the obiect, because Tragedies and Commedies -stirre vp affections, and affections are naturally planted in that part -of the minde that is common to vs with brute beastes.’ Analyses the -argument of the Author of the Play of Plays, ‘spreading out his battel -to hemme me in’. P. 202. ‘He tyeth Life and Delight so fast together, -that if Delight be restrained, Life presently perisheth; there, zeale -perceyuing Delight to be embraced of Life, puttes a snafle in his -mouth, to keepe him vnder. Delight beinge bridled, Zeale leadeth life -through a wildernesse of lothsomenesse, where Glutte scarreth them -all, chafing both Zeale and Delight from Life, and with the clubbe -of amasednesse strikes such a pegge into the heade of Life, that he -falles downe for dead vpon the Stage. Life beinge thus fainte, and -ouertrauailed, destitute of his guyde, robbed of Delight, is readie to -giue vp the Ghost, in the same place; then entereth Recreation, which -with music and singing rockes Life a sleepe to recouer his strength. -By this meanes Tediousnesse is driuen from Life, and the teinte is -drawne out of his heade, which the club of amasednes left behinde. At -last Recreation setteth vp the Gentleman vpon his feete, Delight is -restored to him againe, and such kinde of sportes for cullices are -brought in to nourishe him, as none but Delighte must applye to his -stomache. Then time beinge made for the benefite of Life, and Life -being allowed to followe his appetite, amongst all manner of pastimes, -Life chooseth Commedies, for his Delight, partly because Commedies are -neither chargable to y^e beholders purse, nor painful to his body; -partly, because he may sit out of the raine to veiwe the same, when -many other pastimes are hindred by wether. Zeale is no more admitted to -Life before he be somewhat pinchte in the waste, to auoyde extremitie, -and being not in the end simply called Zeale but Moderate Zeale a fewe -conditions are prescribed to Comedies, that the matter be purged, -deformities blazed, sinne rebuked, honest mirth intermingled, and fitte -time for the hearing of the same appointed. Moderate Zeale is contented -to suffer them, who wyneth with delight to direct life againe, after -which he triumphes ouer Death & is crowned with eternitie.’ P. 203. -As Fathers and Councils ‘and y^e skilfulst Deuines at this day in -England which are compelled in Sermons to cry out against them’ are -challenged by this playmaker, will answer him. Distinguishes between -carnal and spiritual delight. Plays bring carnal delight, which is -contrary to reason and comes of corruption. _The Fifth Action._ The -Effects of Plays. P. 211. Why should he write against plays, when, -although famous men in both universities cry out against plays, ‘none -of them by printing haue taken the paines to write any full discouery -against them’? Partly because, being young, he will be better excused -than they if he ‘shoulde speake but one worde against y^e sleepines -of Magistrats which in this case is necessary to be toucht’; partly -because, ‘hauing once already written against playes, which no man -that euer wrote playes, did, but one, who hath changed his coppy, -and turned himself like y^e dog to his vomite, to plays againe, and -being falsly accused my selfe to do y^e like, it is needfull for me -to write againe’. Declares the effects of plays. Wantonness on the -stage excites the passions of the spectators. Theatres are ‘markets -of bawdry’. P. 215. ‘Our Theaters, and play houses in London, are as -full of secrete adulterie as they were in Rome.... In the playhouses -at London, it is the fashion of youthes to go first into the yarde, -and to carry theire eye through euery gallery, then like vnto rauens -where they spye the carion thither they flye, and presse as nere to y^e -fairest as they can.... They giue them pippines, they dally with their -garmentes to passe y^e time, they minister talke vpon al occasions, -& eyther bring them home to their houses on small acquaintance, or -slip into tauerns when y^e plaies are done. He thinketh best of his -painted sheath, & taketh himselfe for a iolly fellow, y^t is noted of -most, to be busyest with women in all such places.’ The players are -an evil in the commonwealth. P. 215. ‘Most of the Players haue bene -eyther men of occupations, which they haue forsaken to lyue by playing, -or common minstrels, or trayned vp from theire childehood to this -abhominable exercise & haue now no other way to get theire liuinge.... -In a commonweale, if priuat men be suffered to forsake theire calling -because they desire to walke gentleman like in sattine & veluet, with -a buckler at their heeles, proportion is so broken, vnitie dissolued, -harmony confounded, that the whole body must be dismembred and the -prince or the heade cannot chuse but sicken.... Let them not looke to -liue by playes; the little thrift that followeth theire greate gaine, -is a manifest token that God hath cursed it.’ A final appeal to his -countrymen, ending, ‘God is iust, his bow is bent & his arrowe drawen, -to send you a plague, if you staye too long’. - - - xxxi. 1583. JOHN FIELD. - - [From _A godly exhortation, by occasion of the late iudgement of - God, shewed at Parris-garden, the thirteenth day of Ianuarie: - where were assembled by estimation aboue a thousand persons, - whereof some were slaine; & of that number, at the least, as is - crediblie reported, the thirde person maimed and hurt_. Giuen - to all estates for their instruction, concerning the keeping of - the Sabboth day. By Iohn Field, Minister of the word of God.... - Robert Waldegrave for Henry Carre, 1583. There is no entry in - S. R., but on 21 Jan. Richard Jones and William Bartlett were - imprisoned and fined for printing ‘a thing of the fall of the - gallories at Paris Garden’ without licence (Arber, ii. 853). - On 19 Jan. Fleetwood wrote to Lord Burghley (_M. S. C._ i. - 160, from _Lansdowne MS._ 37, f. 10; also in Wright, ii. 184), - ‘Vpon the same day [13 Jan.] the violaters of the Sabothe were - punished by Godes providens at Paris garden and as I was writing - of these last wordes loo here is a booke sett downe vpon the - same matter’.] - -Epistle to the Lord Mayor, William Fleetwood, the Recorder, and the -Aldermen. Explains the address to them. A 2^v. ‘Is it not a lamentable -thing, that after so long preaching of the Gospell, there should bee -so great prophanation amongst vs? that Theaters should be full and -churches be emptie? that the streetes shoulde be replenished, and the -places of holy exercises, left destitute? I write not this simplie but -in respect, and by comparison.... If you say that this thing belongeth -not vnto you, because that Parris garden is out of your iurisdiction, -yet why are these men suffered to bring their Beares into the citie, -that thereby they may gather your company vnto them? It were duety in -you to hinder these and to take order that none of the citie should -repaire vnto such places.... 18^{th} January 1583. Iohn Feild.’ -The exhortation is mainly a general call to repentance and fear of -judgement, without special reference to the occasion. B 3. Stress is -laid on abuse of the Sabbath. B 4. ‘There is no Dicing house, Bowling -alley, Cock pit, or Theater, that can be found empty. Those flagges of -defiance against God, & trumpets that are blown to gather together such -company, will sooner preuail to fil those places, then the preaching -of the holy worde of God ... to fill Churches. Nothing can stoppe them -from the same: neyther feare of danger, losse of tyme, corruption -of maners, infection of diseases, expence of money, suspition of -honestie and such like.... Pounds and hundreds can be well ynough -afforded, in following these least pleasures, though euery dore hath -a payment, & euery gallerie maketh a yearely stipend: thogh euery dog -hath a coller, & euery Beare a prize, and euery cracke bring a great -aduenture.’ Enforces the warning of Paris Garden. B vii^v. ‘I wil set -it down as plainly as I can, and as truly as can be gathered from the -examination of those same common euidences, that haue fallen out.... -You shal vnderstand therfore (beloued Christians) that vpon the last -Lords day being the thirteen day of the first month, that cruell and -lothsome exercise of bayting Beares being kept at _Parris-garden_, in -the after-noone, in the time of common praiers, and when many other -exercises of Religion, both of preaching and Catechizing were had in -sundry places of the City, diuers Preachers hauing not long before -also cryed out against such prophanations: yet (the more pitty) there -resorted thither a great company of people of al sorts and conditions, -that the like nomber, in euery respect (as they say) had not beene -seene there a long time before. Beeing thus vngodly assembled, to so -vnholy a spectacle and specially considering the time; the yeard, -standings, and Galleries being ful fraught, being now amidest their -iolity, when the dogs and Bear were in the chiefest Battel, Lo the -mighty hand of God vppon them. This gallery that was double, and -compassed the yeard round about, was so shaken at the foundation, that -it fell (as it were in a moment) flat to the ground, without post -or peere, that was left standing, so high as the stake whervnto the -Beare was tied. Although some wil say (and as it may be truly) that -it was very old and rotten and therefore a great waight of people, -being planted vpon it then was wont, that it was no maruaile that it -fayled: and would make it but a light matter. Yet surely if this be -considered, that no peece of post, boord, or stake was left standing: -though we vrge it not as a miracle, yet it must needes be considered -as an extraordinary iudgement of God, both for the punishment of those -present prophaners of the Lordes day that were then, & also informe and -warne vs that were abroad. In the fal of it, there were slaine fiue -men and two women, that are come to knowledge, who they were and where -they dwelled, to wit, _Adam Spencer_ a _Felmonger_, in _Southwarke_, -_William Cockram_ a Baker, dwelling in _Shordich_, _Iohn Burton_ -Cleark, of _S. Marie Wolmers_ in _Lombard streat_, _Mathew Mason_, -seruant with Master _Garland_, dwelling in _Southwarke_, _Thomas -Peace_, seruant with _Robert Tasker_, dwelling in _Clerken well_. -The maydens names, _Alice White_, seruant to a Pursemaker without -_Cripplegate_, and _Marie Harrison_, daughter to _Iohn Harrison_, being -a waterbearer, dwelling in _Lombard streat_.’ C i^v. Nowe beside these -that were thus killed out right, with the flat fal of the Galleries, -strangely wrunge in peeces as it were by God himselfe, it could not -bee but in such confusion, there must needes come great hurt to many. -Howe many carried away death, as it were in theyr bosomes, that died -the same night, or some little tyme after, the Lorde knoweth. And we -heare since, though we know not the iust number, that many of them are -dead & buried, and namely one _Web_ a Pewterer his wife that dwelt in -_Limestreete_ who being there sore wounded, is now gon with diuers -others. Of all the multitude there, which must needes be farre aboue -a thousande, it is thought by the iudgement of most people, that not -the third personne escaped vnhurt; and by some that haue made search, -they esteme that there were sore hurt and maimed, aboue one hundred and -fiftye persons, some hauing theyr legs and armes broken, some theyr -backes, theyr bodies beeing sore brused, so that euery way into the -cittie from that time tyll towardes nine of the clocke and past: and -specially ouer _London bridge_, many were carried in Chayres, & led -betwixt their freendes, and so brought home wyth sorrowfull and heauy -heartes lyke lame cripples. They say also that at the first, when the -Scaffolde cracked (as it did once or twise) there was a crye of _fire -fire_, which set them in such a maze as was wonderfull, so that as -destitute of their wits they stood styll, and could make no shifte -for them selues, till the Scaffold was made euen with the ground.... -Amongst the rest it is credibly reported that there was one Woman, that -beeing in the Gallery, threw downe her childe before her, & leaped -after herselfe; and yet thankes bee to God neyther of both had any -maner of hurt, so was it with diuers others. But it shoulde appere that -they were most hurt and in danger, which stoode vnder the Galleries on -the grounde, vpon whom both the waight of Timbre and people fel. And -sure it was a miraculous worke of God, that any one of those should -haue escaped. But heere also God shewed his power for one man falling -downe into an hole as if it had beene some sawpit, it pleased God -that it was the meane of his deliuerance, so as all things that fell -vpon him did not touch him, and by that hee was preserued, wheras two -of th’other were slaine of either side of him.’ C. iii. Urges the -magistrates to ‘take order especially on the Sabaoth dayes that no -Cittizen or Cittizens seruauntes haue libertie to repaire vnto any of -those abuse places, that albeit the place be without the Cittie, and -by that meanes they haue not to deale with them, yet that they keepe -theyr _Beares_ out, and their straggling _Wantons_ in, that they may -be better occupied. And as they haue with good commendation so far -preuailed, that vppon Sabaoth dayes these Heathenishe _Enterludes_ and -_Playes_ are banished, so it wyll please them to followe the matter -still, that they may be vtterly rid and taken away. For surely it is -to be feared, beesides the distruction bothe of bodye and soule, that -many are brought vnto, by frequenting the _Theater_, the _Curtin_ and -such like, that one day those places will likewise be cast downe by God -himselfe, & being drawen with them a huge heape of such contempners -and prophane persons vtterly to be killed and spoyled in their bodyes. -God hath giuen them as I haue heard manye faire warninges already.... -January 17, 1583.’ - - - xxxii. 1583.

But the -particulare Abuses which are crept into euery one of these seuerall -exercyses is the only thing which I think worthie of reprobation. -For otherwise (all Abuses cut away) who seeth not that some kind of -playes, tragedies and enterluds, in their own nature are not only of -great ancientie, but also very honest and very commendable exercyses, -being vsed and practised in most Christian common weales, as which -containe matter (such they may be) both of doctrine, erudition, good -example, and wholsome instruction; and may be vsed, in tyme and place -conuenient, as conducible to example of life and reformation of maners. -For such is our grosse and dull nature, that what thing we see opposite -before our eyes, do pearce further and printe deeper in our harts -and minds, than that thing which is hard onely with the eares.... -But being vsed (as now commonly they be) to the prophanation of the -Lord his sabaoth, to the alluring and inuegling of the People from -the blessed word of God preached, to Theaters and vnclean assemblies, -to ydlenes, vnthriftynes, whordome, wantonnes, drunkennes, and what -not; and which is more, when they are vsed to this end, to maintaine -a great sort of ydle Persons, doing nothing but playing and loytring, -hauing their lyuings of the sweat of other Mens browes, much like vnto -dronets deuouring the sweet honie of the poore labouring bees, than -are they exercyses (at no hand) sufferable. But being vsed to the -ends that I haue said, they are not to be disliked of any sober and -wise Christian.’ _The Maner of Sanctifiyng the Sabaoth in Ailgna._ P. -137. ‘Some spend the Sabaoth day (for the most part) in frequenting -of baudie Stage-playes and enterludes.’ P. 140. _Of Stage-playes and -Enterluds, with their wickednes._ ‘All Stage-playes, Enterluds, and -Commedies are either of diuyne or prophane matter: If they be of diuine -matter, then are they most intollerable, or rather Sacrilegious; for -that the blessed word of God is to be handled reuerently, grauely, -and sagely, with veneration to the glorious Maiestie of God, which -shineth therin, and not scoffingly, flowtingly, and iybingly, as it is -vpon stages in Playes and Enterluds, without any reuerence, worship, -or veneration to the same. The word of our Saluation, the price of -Christ his bloud, & the merits of his passion, were not giuen to be -derided and iested at, as they be in these filthie playes and enterluds -on stages & scaffolds, or to be mixt and interlaced with bawdry, -wanton shewes, & vncomely gestures, as is vsed (euery Man knoweth) in -these playes and enterludes.... Doo these Mockers and Flowters of his -Maiesty, these dissembling _Hipocrites_, and flattering _Gnatoes_, -think to escape vnpunished? beware, therfore, you masking Players, -you painted sepulchres, you doble dealing ambodexters, be warned -betymes, and, lik good computistes, cast your accompts before, what wil -be the reward therof in the end, least God destroy you in his wrath: -abuse God no more, corrupt his people no longer with your dregges, -and intermingle not his blessed word with such prophane vanities. For -at no hand it is not lawfull to mixt scurrilitie with diuinitie, nor -diuinitie with scurrilitie.... Vpon the other side, if their playes -be of prophane matters, than tend they to the dishonor of God, and -norishing of vice, both which are damnable. So that whither they be the -one or the other, they are quite contrarie to the Word of grace, and -sucked out of the Deuills teates to nourish vs in ydolatrie, hethenrie, -and sinne. And therfore they, cariyng the note, or brand, of God his -curse vppon their backs, which way soeuer they goe, are to be hissed -out of all Christian kingdomes, if they wil haue Christ to dwell -amongst them.’ Quotes the Fathers and ancients against _histriones_. -P. 143. ‘Then, seeing that Playes were first inuented by the Deuil, -practised by the heathen gentiles, and dedicat to their false ydols, -Goddes and Goddesses, as the howse, stage, and apparell to _Venus_, -the musicke to _Appollo_, the penning to _Minerua_ and the Muses, -the action and pronuntiation to _Mercurie_ and the rest, it is more -than manifest that they are no fit exercyses for a Christen Man to -follow. But if there were no euill in them saue this, namely, that the -arguments of tragedies is anger, wrath, immunitie, crueltie, iniurie, -incest, murther, & such like, the Persons or Actors are Goddes, -Goddesses, Furies, Fyends, Hagges, Kings, Queenes, or Potentates. Of -Commedies the matter and ground is loue, bawdrie, cosenage, flattery, -whordome, adulterie; the Persons, or agents, whores, queanes, bawdes, -scullions, knaues, Curtezans, lecherous old men, amorous yong men, with -such like of infinit varietie. If, I say, there were nothing els but -this, it were sufficient to withdraw a good christian from the vsing of -them; For so often as they goe to those howses where Players frequent, -thei go to _Venus_ pallace, & sathans synagogue [_in margin_, ‘Theaters -and curtaines Venus pallaces’], to worship deuils, & betray Christ -Iesus.’ To say that plays are ‘as good as sermons’ is to say that ‘the -Deuill is equipolent with the Lord’. P. 144. ‘There is no mischief -which these plaies maintain not. For do they not norish ydlenes? -and _otia dant vitia_, ydlenes is the Mother of vice. Doo they not -draw the people from hering the word of God, from godly Lectures and -sermons? for you shall haue them flocke thither, thick & threefould, -when the church of God shalbe bare & emptie.... Do they not maintaine -bawdrie, infinit folery, & renue the remembrance of hethen ydolatrie? -Do they not induce whordom & vnclennes? nay, are they not rather plaine -deuourers of maydenly virginitie and chastitie? For proofe wherof, -but marke the flocking and running to Theaters & curtens, daylie and -hourely, night and daye, tyme and tyde, to see Playes and Enterludes; -where such wanton gestures, such bawdie speaches, such laughing and -fleering, such kissing and bussing, such clipping and culling, Suche -winckinge and glancinge of wanton eyes, and the like, is vsed, as is -wonderfull to behold. Then, these goodly pageants being done, euery -mate sorts to his mate, euery one bringes another homeward of their way -verye freendly, and in their secret conclaues (couertly) they play the -_Sodomits_, or worse. And these be the fruits of Playes or Enterluds -for the most part. And wheras you say there are good Examples to be -learned in them, Trulie so there are: if you will learne falshood; if -you will learn cosenage; if you will learn to deceiue; if you will -learn to play the Hipocrit, to cogge, lye, and falsifie; if you will -learne to iest, laugh, and fleer, to grin, to nodd, and mow; if you -will learn to playe the vice, to swear, teare, and blaspheme both -Heauen and Earth: If you will learn to become a bawde, vncleane, and -to deuerginat Maydes, to deflour honest Wyues: if you will learne to -murther, slaie, kill, picke, steal, robbe, and roue: If you will learn -to rebel against Princes, to commit treasons, to consume treasurs, -to practise ydlenes, to sing and talke of bawdie loue and venery; if -you will lerne to deride, scoffe, mock, & flowt, to flatter & smooth: -If you will learn to play the whore-maister, the glutton, Drunkard, -or incestuous person: if you will learn to become proude, hawtie, & -arrogant; and, finally, if you will learne to contemne God and al his -lawes, to care nither for heauen nor hel, and to commit al kinde of -sinne and mischeef, you need to goe to no other schoole, for all these -good Examples may you see painted before your eyes in enterludes and -playes: wherfore that man who giueth money for the maintenance of -them must needs incurre the damage of _premunire_, that is, eternall -damnation, except they repent. For the Apostle biddeth vs beware, -least wee communicat with other mens sinnes; & this their dooing is -not only to communicat with other mens sinnes, & maintain euil to the -destruction of them selues & many others, but also a maintaining of -a great sorte of idle lubbers, and buzzing dronets, to suck vp and -deuoure the good honie, wherupon the poor bees should liue.’ Exhorts -‘all players & Founders of plaies and enterluds’ to leave their life. -P. 146. ‘Away therfore with this so infamous an art! for goe they neuer -so braue, yet are they counted and taken but for beggers. And is it -not true? liue they not vpon begging of euery one that comes? Are they -not taken by the lawes of the Realm for roagues and vacaboundes? I -speak of such as trauaile the Cuntries with playes & enterludes, making -an occupation of it, and ought so to be punished, if they had their -deserts.’ _Lords of Misrule in Ailgna.... The Manner of Church-ales in -Ailgna.... The maner of keeping of Wakesses, and feasts in Ailgna.... -The horrible Vice of pestiferous Dauncing, vsed in Ailgna.... Of -Musick in Ailgna, and how it allureth to vanitie.... Beare baiting and -other exercyses, vsed unlawfully in Ailgna._ P. 177. ‘These Hethnicall -exercyses vpon the Sabaoth day, which the Lord hath consecrat to holy -vses, for the glory of his Name, and our spirituall comfort, are not -in any respect tollerable, or to be suffered. For is not the baiting -of a Bear, besides that it is a filthie, stinking, and lothsome game, -a daungerous & perilous exercyse? wherein a man is in daunger of his -life euery minut of an houre; which thing, though it weare not so, yet -what exercyse is this meet for any Christian? what christen heart can -take pleasure to see one poore beast to rent, teare, and kill another, -and all for his foolish pleasure?... And, to be plaine, I thinke the -Deuill is the Maister of the game, bearward and all.’ _A Fearfull -Example of God his Iudgement vpon the prophaners of his Sabaoth._ P. -179. Describes the accident of 13 Jan. 1583, with the page-heading, ‘A -wofull cry at Syrap garden’. ‘So that either two or three hundred men, -women, and children (by estimation), wherof seuen were killed dead, -some were wounded, some lamed, and othersome brused and crushed almost -to the death.’ _A fearfull Iudgement of God, shewed at the Theaters._ -P. 180. ‘The like Iudgement (almost) did the Lord shew vnto them a -litle befor, being assembled at their Theaters, to see their bawdie -enterluds and other trumperies practised: For he caused the earth -mightely to shak and quauer, as though all would haue fallen down; -wherat the People, sore amazed, some leapt down (from the top of the -turrets, pinacles, and towres, wher they stood) to the ground; wherof -some had their legs broke, some their arms, some their backs, some hurt -one where, some another, and many sore crusht and brused; but not any -but they went away sore affraid, & wounded in conscience. And yet can -neither the one nor the other fray them from these diuelish exercyses, -vntill the Lorde consume them all in his wrath; _which God forbid_! -The Lord of his mercie open the eyes of the maiestrats to pluck down -these places of abuse, that god may be honored and their consciences -disburthened.’ - - - xxxiii. 1583. GERVASE BABINGTON. - - [From _A very Fruitful Exposition of the Commandements by - way of Questions and Answers_ (1583), 316. More general - references to the evils of plays and bear-baiting are on pp. - 190, 385. Babington was Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge, - and tutor in the Earl of Pembroke’s house at Wilton; he - afterwards became Bishop successively of Llandaff, Exeter, and - Worcester.] - -These prophane & wanton stage playes or interludes: what an occasion -they are of adulterie and vncleanenesse, by gesture, by speech, by -conueyances, and deuices to attaine to so vngodly desires, the world -knoweth with too much hurt by long experience. Vanities they are if we -make the best of them.... But I referre you to them, that vpon good -knowledge of the abominations of them, haue written largely & wel -against them. If they be dangerous on the day time, more daungerous on -the night certainely: if on a stage, & in open courtes, much more in -chambers and priuate houses. For there are manie roumes beside that -where the play is, & peraduenture the strangenes of the place & lacke -of light to guide them, causeth errour in their way, more than good -Christians should in their houses suffer. - - - xxxiv. 1583 (?). PHILIP SIDNEY. - - [From _The Defence of Poesie_ (1595, William Ponsonby; S. R. - 29 Nov. 1594), reprinted as _An Apologie for Poetrie_ (1595, - Henry Olney), and with 1598 and later editions of _Arcadia_. - Among many modern editions are those by E. Arber (1868), E. - Flügel (1889), A. S. Cook (1890), E. S. Schuckburgh (1891), J. - C. Collins (1907), and in Gregory Smith (1904), i. 148. The date - 1583 is conjecturally assigned by Cook on the ground of the - stylistic development since the _Arcadia_ (1580–3). But any date - is possible between 1579, when Gosson’s _School of Abuse_, which - probably stimulated it, and Spenser’s _Faerie Queene_, which it - mentions, appeared, and Nov. 1585, when Sidney went to the Low - Countries. The book contains a general valuation of poetry, on - humanistic lines, together with a criticism of English poetry in - particular. Only a few pages are devoted to the drama.] - -P. 44. ‘Perchance it is the Comick, whom naughtie Playmakers and -Stagekeepers, have iustly made odious. To the argument of abuse, I will -answer after. Onely thus much now is to be said, that the Comedy is -an imitation of the common errors of our life, which he representeth, -in the most ridiculous and scornefull sort that may be. So as it is -impossible, that any beholder can be content to be such a one.... So -that the right vse of Comedy will (I thinke) by no body be blamed, -and much lesse of the high and excellent Tragedy, that openeth the -greatest wounds, and sheweth forth the Vlcers, that are couered with -Tissue: that maketh Kinges feare to be Tyrants, and Tyrants manifest -their tirannicall humors: that with sturring the affects of admiration -and commiseration, teacheth, the vncertainety of this world, and vpon -how weake foundations guilden roofes are builded.... But it is not -the Tragedy they doe mislike: For it were too absurd to cast out so -excellent a representation of whatsoeuer is most worthy to be learned.’ -P. 50. Answers criticisms of poetry as the ‘Nurse of abuse’, &c. P. -63. Criticizes ‘Our Tragedies and Comedies (not without cause cried -out against)’. Even in _Gorboduc_, much more in other plays, the -unities are disregarded (cf. quotations in ch. xix). ‘Besides these -gross absurdities, how all theyr Playes be neither right Tragedies, -nor right Comedies: mingling Kings and Clownes’ in a ‘mungrell -Tragy-comedie.... Our Comedians thinke there is no delight without -laughter.... Delight hath a ioy in it, either permanent, or present. -Laughter, hath onely a scornful tickling.... But I haue lauished out -too many wordes of this play matter. I doe it because as they are -excelling parts of Poesie, so is there none so much vsed in England, -and none can be more pittifully abused.’ - - - xxxv. 1584.

MARTIN MARPRELATE CONTROVERSY. - - [The texts of the Marprelate pamphlets have been edited by W. - Pierce, _The Marprelate Tracts_ (1911); some were reprinted - earlier by E. Arber and in J. Petheram, _Puritan Discipline - Tracts_ (1842–60). The best accounts of this ribald controversy - on Church government are E. Arber, _An Introductory Sketch - to the Martin Marprelate Controversy_ (1879); W. Pierce, - _Historical Introduction to the Marprelate Tracts_ (1908); J. - D. Wilson, _The Marprelate Controversy_ (1909, C. H. iii. 374), - and _Martin Marprelate and Shakespeare’s Fluellen_ (1912); R. - B. McKerrow, _Works of Nashe_, v (1910), 34, 184; G. Bonnard, - _La Controverse de Martin Marprelate_ (1916). It seems probable - that Martin was a composite personality; Sir Roger Williams, - John Penry, and Job Throckmorton may all have had a share in - the pamphlets. The replies were inspired by Richard Bancroft, - then Canon of Westminster and a member of the High Commission. - It seems clear that both Lyly and Nashe took part in them, and - _Pappe with an Hatchet_ may reasonably be ascribed to Lyly. - Nashe has often been regarded as Pasquil, but Mr. McKerrow - does not think that any of the pamphlets can be supposed with - any certainty to be his; he probably contributed to the lost - plays. Of these Bonnard, 92, would distinguish five--(_a_) - Martin anatomized, (_b_) the May Game of Martinism, (_c_) Martin - carried to hell, as a vice, (_d_) Martin as cock, ape, and wolf, - (_e_) Martin ravishing Divinity; but (_b_) seems to be referred - to as a forthcoming pamphlet rather than as a play, and of the - others (_d_) and (_e_) almost certainly, and possibly all four, - were episodes in the same piece. F. Bacon in his _Advertisement - Touching the Controversies_ (_Works_, viii. 74), written in the - summer of 1589, criticizes the episcopal policy of answering - like by like, and ‘this immodest and deformed manner of writing - lately entertained, whereby matters of religion are handled in - the style of the stage’.] - - - (_a_) - - [From _The Epistle to the Terrible Priests of the Confocation - House_ (Oct.-Nov. 1588), 11, 19, reprinted by E.

Haslewood, _Ancient - Critical Essays_, vol. i (1811), and in part in Gregory Smith, - ii. 1. On the author, cf. ch. xxiii.] - -Most of the treatise (bks. ii, iii) deals with the technicalities of -poetic structure and style, which the author sometimes illustrates from -interludes and verses of his own. Bk. i praises poetry in general, on -familiar but non-controversial humanist lines, and discusses with some -classical erudition the origin of various types of poetry, as tragedy, -comedy, and pantomime (c. 11), comedy (c. 14), tragedy (c. 15), staging -(c. 17), pastoral (c. 18). In a brief account of English poets (c. 31) -occurs: ‘But the principall man in this profession at the same time -[Edward’s] was Maister Edward [_sic_] Ferrys a man of no lesse mirth -and felicitie that way, but of much more skil, and magnificence in his -meeter, and therefore wrate for the most part to the stage, in Tragedie -and sometimes in Comedie or Enterlude, wherein he gaue the king so -much good recreation, as he had thereby many good rewardes....

THOMAS NASHE. - - [From an epistle _To the Gentlemen Students of Both - Universities_, prefixed to Robert Greene’s _Menaphon_ (1589; - S. R. 23 Aug. 1589), reprinted from ed. 1610, which has some - corrections possibly by Nashe, in McKerrow, iii. 311, with - valuable notes (iv. 444) upon the allusions and supposed - allusions. The suggestion of Collier that _Menaphon_ was - originally printed in 1587 appears to be baseless. Outside the - three passages quoted, Nashe praises Watson’s translation of - _Antigone_. McKerrow’s collection of material for the critical - discussion of the epistle is so full that I need only compare - briefly my conclusions with his. In (i) Nashe seems to me to - be criticizing (_a_) ‘tragedians’, which for me are clearly - ‘tragic actors’, while McKerrow inclines to make them ‘writers - of tragedy’, and (_b_) their dramatists, who include blank-verse - ‘Art-masters’, which I agree with McKerrow is more likely, in - view of the fact that Greene above all flourished his University - degree, to mean ‘masters of their art’ than ‘masters of Arts’, - and translating tradesmen or serving-men with no education - beyond a grammar-school. The slight suggestions that Nashe - may have had Marlowe especially in mind are perhaps hardly - sufficient to outweigh his statement in _Have with you to - Saffron Walden_ (1596) that he ‘neuer abusd Marloe’; and Marlowe - was a University man, and no tradesman or serving-man. On the - other hand, there is no specific praise of Marlowe with other - University poets in the epistle. The whole of (i) is a precise - parallel to the following lines by Thomas Brabine, also prefixed - to _Menaphon_: - - ‘Come foorth you witts that vaunt the pompe of speach, - And striue to thunder from a Stage-mans throate: - View _Menaphon_ a note beyond your reach; - Whose sight will make your drumming descant doate: - Players auaunt, you know not to delight; - Welcome sweete Shepheard; worth a Schollers sight.’ - - In (ii) I am rather more inclined than McKerrow to think that - the ‘_Nouerint_’ and the ‘Kidde in _Æsop_’ may glance at Kyd, - who was not one of the University group, and was a grammarian, - a translator, and very likely already a serving-man. But the - attempts to trace him elsewhere in the passage come to very - little; nor is one playwright only necessarily in question, so - that, although the ‘handfuls of Tragicall speeches’ may point - to a play of _Hamlet_ as already extant in 1589, the inference - that Kyd was its author becomes extremely thin. In (iii) Nashe - attacks the players as parasitic on the poets, in terms closely - resembling those used later by Greene in his _Groatsworth of - Wit_ (No. xlviii). Probably Roscius is here Alleyn, and Caesar - stands for the poets in general. I do not agree with Fleay, _L. - of S._ 10, 99, that the epistle reflects a rivalry between the - poets of the Queen’s men and those of Pembroke’s, who indeed did - not yet exist, or any other company. The issue is between the - University poets on the one hand and the players and illiterate - poets on the other.] - -P. 311. ‘I am not ignorant how eloquent our gowned age is grown of -late; so that euery mechanicall mate abhorres the English he was borne -too, and plucks, with a solemne periphrasis, his _vt vales_ from the -inkehorne: which I impute, not so much to the perfection of Arts, -as to the seruile imitation of vainglorious Tragedians, who contend -not so seriously to excell in action, as to embowell the cloudes in -a speech of comparison, thinking themselues more than initiated in -Poets immortality, if they but once get _Boreas_ by the beard and the -heauenly Bull by the deaw-lap.

A palmer, telling the tale of Francesco, which contains some -probably autobiographical matter on the hero’s writing for the stage -(cf. ch. xxiii, s.v.

After observing that -‘some for being too lauish against that facultie, haue for their -satiricall inuectiues been well canuased’, he sketches the growth -of comedy at Athens and Rome, where ‘couetousnesse crept into the -qualitie’ and ‘the Actors, by continuall vse grewe not onely excellent, -but rich and insolent’. This is illustrated (p. 132) by a rebuke of -Cicero to Roscius, ‘Why _Roscius_, art thou proud with _Esops_ Crow, -being pranct with the glorie of others feathers? of thy selfe thou -canst say nothing, and if the Cobler hath taught thee to say Aue -Caesar, disdain not thy tutor, because thou pratest in a Kings chamber: -what sentence thou vtterest on the stage, flowes from the censure of -our wittes, and what sentence or conceipte of the inuention the people -applaud for excellent, that comes from the secrets of our knowledge. -I graunt your action, though it be a kind of mechanical labour; yet -wel done tis worthie of praise: but you worthlesse, if for so small a -toy you waxe proud’. _Publius Seruilius_ also bade a player ‘bee not -so bragge of thy silken roabes, for I sawe them but yesterday make a -great shew in a broakers shop’. The palmer concludes, ‘Thus sir haue -you heard my opinion briefly of plaies, that Menander deuised them for -the suppressing of vanities, necessarie in a common wealth, as long as -they are vsed in their right kind; the play makers worthy of honour for -their Arte: & players, men deseruing both prayse and profite, as long -as they wax neither couetous nor insolent’. - - - xliv. 1591.

I could wish that players would use themselves nowadays, as -in ancient former times they have done, which was only to exercise -their interludes in the time of Christmas, beginning to play in the -holidays and continuing until twelfth tide, or at the furthest until -Ashwednesday, of which players I find three sorts of people: the first, -such as were in wages with the king and played before him some time at -Hallowmass, and then in the later holidays until twelfthtide, and after -that, only in Shrovetide; and these men had other trades to live of, -and seldom or never played abroad at any other times of the whole year. -The second sort were such as pertained to noblemen, and were ordinary -servants in their house, and only for Christmas times used such plays, -without making profession to be players to go abroad for gain, for in -such cases they were subject to the statute against retainers. The -third sort were certain artisans in good towns and great parishes, as -shoemakers, tailors, and such like, that used to play either in their -town-halls, or some time in churches, to make the people merry; where -it was lawful for all persons to come without exacting any money for -their access, having only somewhat gathered of the richer sort by the -churchwardens for their apparel and other necessaries.’ - - - xlv. 1591.

Nay, what if I prooue Playes to be no extreame; but -a rare exercise of vertue? First, for the subiect of them (for the -most part) it is borrowed out of our English Chronicles, wherein our -forefathers valiant acts (that haue line long buried in rustie brasse -and worme-eaten bookes) are reuiued, and they themselues raised from -the Graue of Obliuion, and brought to pleade their aged Honours in -open presence: than which, what can be a sharper reproofe to these -degenerate effeminate dayes of ours?

I will -defend it against any Collian, or clubfisted Vsurer of them all, there -is no immortalitie can be giuen a man on earth like vnto Playes.... All -Artes to them are vanitie: and, if you tell them what a glorious thing -it is to haue _Henrie_ the fifth represented on the Stage, leading -the French King prisoner, and forcing both him and the Dolphin to -sweare fealty, I, but (will they say) what do we get by it? Respecting -neither the right of Fame that is due to true Nobilitie deceased, nor -what hopes of eternitie are to be proposed to aduentrous mindes, to -encourage them forward, but onely their execrable luker, and fillthie -vnquenchable auarice. They know when they are dead they shall not be -brought vpon the Stage for any goodnes, but in a merriment of the -Vsurer and the Diuel, or buying Armes of the Herald, who giues them the -Lyon, without tongue, tayle, or tallents, because his maister whome -hee must serue is a Townesman, and a man of peace, and must not keepe -any quarrelling beasts to annoy his honest neighbours. In Playes, all -coosonages, all cunning drifts ouer-guylded with outward holinesse, -all stratagems of warre, all the cankerwormes that breede on the rust -of peace, are most liuely anatomiz’d: they shewe the ill successe of -treason, the fall of hastie climbers, the wretched end of vsurpers, the -miserie of ciuill dissention, and how iust God is euermore in punishing -of murther.... Whereas some Petitioners of the Counsaile against them -obiect, they corrupt the youth of the Cittie, and withdrawe Prentises -from theyr worke; they heartily wishe they might bee troubled with none -of their youth nor their prentises; for some of them (I meane the ruder -handicrafts seruants) neuer come abroade, but they are in danger of -vndoing: and as for corrupting them when they come, thats false; for no -Play they haue, encourageth any man to tumult or rebellion, but layes -before such the halter and the gallowes; or praiseth or approoueth -pride, lust, whoredome, prodigalitie, or drunkennes, but beates them -downe vtterly. As for the hindrance of Trades and Traders of the Citie -by them, that is an Article foysted in by the Vintners, Alewiues, and -Victuallers, who surmise, if there were no Playes, they should haue -all the companie that resort to them, lye bowzing and beere-bathing in -their houses euery after-noone....

Indeed quoth Cloth Breeches you say troth, they are -but too humble, for they be so lowly, that they be base minded: I mean -not in their lookes or apparell, for so they be peacockes and painted -asses, but in their corse of life, for they care not how they get -crowns, I meane how basely so they haue them, and yet of the two I hold -the Plaier to be the better Christian, although in his owne imagination -too full of selfe liking and selfe loue, and is vnfit to be of the Iury -though I hide and conceale his faults and fopperies, in that I haue -beene merry at his sports: onely this I must say, that such a plaine -country fellow as my selfe, they bring in as clownes and fooles to -laugh at in their play, whereas they get by vs, and of our almes the -proudest of them all doth line.

A Player, quoth _Roberto_, I tooke you rather for a gentleman -of great liuing; for if by outward habit men shuld be censured, I tell -you, you would be taken for a substantiall man. So am I where I dwell -(quoth the player) reputed able at my proper cost, to build a Windmill. -What though the worlde once went hard with mee, when I was faine to -carrie my playing Fardle a footebacke; _Tempora mutantur_: I know you -know the meaning of it better than I, but I thus conster it, it is -otherwise now; for my very share in playing apparrell will not be solde -for two hundred pounds.

The twelue labors of _Hercules_ haue I -terribly thundred on the stage, and plaied three scenes of the deuill -in the highway to heauen. Haue ye so (said _Roberto_?) then I pray you -pardon me. Nay more (quoth the player) I can serue to make a prettie -speech, for I was a countrie Author, passing at a morrall, for it was -I that pende the Morral of mans wit, the Dialogue of Diues, and for -seauen yeeres space was absolute interpreter of the puppets. But now my -Almanacke is out of date: - - _The people make no estimation, - Of Morrals teaching education._ - -Was not this prettie for a plaine rime extempore? if ye will, ye shall -haue more.

Roberto, now famozed -for an Arch-plaimaking-poet, his purse like the sea sometime sweld, -anon like the same sea fell to a low ebbe; yet seldom he wanted, his -labors were so well esteemed. Marry, this rule he kept, what euer he -fingerd afore-hand, was the certaine meanes to vnbinde a bargaine; and -being asked why he so sleightly dealt with them that did him good? -It becomes me, sath hee, to be contrarie to the worlde: for commonly -when vulgar men recieue earnest, they doe performe; when I am paid any -thing afore-hand, I breake my promise.... _To those Gentlemen, his -Quondam acquaintance, that spend their wits in making Plaies, R.

Is it not strange that I, to whom they al haue beene -beholding: is it not like that you, to whome they all haue beene -beholding, shall (were ye in that case that I am now) be both at once -of them forsaken? Yes, trust them not: for there is an vpstart Crow, -beautified with our feathers, that with his _Tygers heart wrapt in -a Players hide_, supposes he is as well able to bumbast out a blank -verse as the best of you: and being an absolute _Iohannes fac totum_, -is in his owne conceit the onely Shake-scene in a countrie.

How I haue all the time of my conuersing -in printing hindered the bitter inueying against schollers, it hath -been very well knowne; and how in that I dealt, I can sufficiently -prooue. With neither of them that take offence was I acquainted, and -with one of them I care not if I neuer be: The other, whome at that -time I did not so much spare, as since I wish I had, for that as I -haue moderated the heate of liuing writers, and might haue vsde my -owne discretion (especially in such a case) the Author beeing dead, -that I did not, I am as sory as if the originall fault had beene my -fault, because my selfe haue seene his demeanor no lesse ciuill, than -he exelent in the qualitie he professes: Besides, diuers of worship -haue reported his vprightnes of dealing, which argues his honesty, and -his facetious grace in writting, that aprooues his Art.

With him was the fifth, a man of indifferent -yeares, of face amible, of body well proportioned, his attire after -the habite of a schollerlike Gentleman, onely his haire was somewhat -long, whome I supposed to be Robert Greene, maister of Artes: of whome -(howe euer some suppose themselues iniured) I haue learned to speake, -considering he is dead, _nill nisi necessarium_.

Thy selfe once a Player, and against Players: nay, turne -out the right side of thy russet coate, and lette the world know thy -meaning. Why thus I meane, for now I speake in sobernes. Euery thing -hath in it selfe his vertue and his vice: from one selfe flower the Bee -and Spider sucke honny and poyson. In plaies it fares as in bookes, -vice cannot be reproued, except it be discouered: neither is it in -any play discouered, but there followes in the same an example of -the punishment: now he that at a play will be delighted in the one, -and not warned by the other, is like him that reads in a booke the -description of sinne, and will not looke ouer the leafe for the reward. -Mirth in seasonable time taken, is not forbidden by the austerest -Sapients. But indeede there is a time of mirth and a time of mourning. -Which time hauing been by the Magistrats wisely obserued, as well for -the suppressing of Playes, as other pleasures: so likewise a time -may come, when honest recreation shall haue his former libertie. And -lette _Tarleton_ intreate the yoong people of the Cittie, either to -abstaine altogether from playes, or at their comming thither to vse -themselues after a more quiet order. In a place so ciuill as this -Cittie is esteemed, it is more than barbarously rude, to see the -shamefull disorder and routes that sometimes in such publike meetings -are vsed. The beginners are neither gentlemen, nor citizens, nor any -of both their seruants, but some lewd mates that long for innouation; -& when they see aduantage, that either Seruingmen or Apprentises are -most in number, they will be of either side, though indeed they are -of no side, but men beside all honestie, willing to make boote of -cloakes, hats, purses, or what euer they can lay holde on in a hurley -burley. These are the common causers of discord in publike places. If -otherwise it happen (as it seldome doth) that any quarrell be betweene -man and man, it is far from manhood to make so publike a place their -field to fight in: no men will doe it, but cowardes that would faine -be parted, or haue hope to haue many partakers. Nowe to you that -maligne our moderate merriments, and thinke there is no felicitie but -in excessiue possession of wealth: with you I would ende in a song, -yea an Extempore song on this Theame, _Ne quid nimis necessarium_: but -I am now hoarse, and troubled with my Taber and Pipe: beside, what -pleasure brings musicke to the miserable. Therefore letting songes -passe, I tell them in sadnes, how euer Playes are not altogether to be -commended: yet some of them do more hurt in a day, than all the Players -(by exercizing theyr profession) in an age. Faults there are in the -professors as other men, this the greatest, that diuers of them beeing -publike in euerie ones eye, and talkt of in euery vulgar mans mouth, -see not how they are seene into, especially for their contempt, which -makes them among most men most contemptible. Of them I will say no -more: of the profession, so much hath _Pierce Pennilesse_ (as I heare -say) spoken, that for mee there is not any thing to speake. So wishing -the chearefull, pleasaunce endlesse; and the wilfull sullen, sorrow -till they surfet; with a turne on the toe I take my leaue. _Richard -Tarleton._’ - - - l. 1592–9. JOHN RAINOLDS V.

He that is sayd to be able to informe _yong-men_ -to all good disciplines, inflame _growne-men_ to all great vertues, -keepe _old men_ in their best and supreme state, or as they decline -to child-hood, recouer them to their first strength; that comes forth -the Interpreter and Arbiter of _Nature_, a Teacher of things diuine no -lesse than humane, a Master in manners; and can alone, or with a few, -effect the busines of Mankind. This, I take him, is no subject for -_Pride_ and _Ignorance_ to exercise their railing _rhetorique_ vpon. -But it will here be hastily answer’d, that the _Writers_ of these dayes -are other things; that not onely their manners, but their natures, are -inuerted, and nothing remaining with them of the dignity of _Poët_, -but the abused name, which euery Scribe vsurpes; that now, especially -in _Dramatick_, or (as they terme it) Stage-_Poëtry_, nothing but -Ribaldry, Profanation, Blasphemy, al Licence of offence to God, and -Man, is practisd. I dare not deny a great part of this, and am sory I -dare not: because in some mens abortiue _Features_ (and would they had -neuer boasted the light) it is ouer-true. But that all are embarqu’d -in this bold aduenture for Hell, is a most vncharitable thought, and -vtterd, a more malicious slander. For my particular, I can, and from a -most cleare conscience, affirme, that I haue euer trembled to thinke -toward the least Prophanenesse; haue loathed the vse of such foule and -vn-washd Baudr’y, as is now made the foode of the _Scene_. - - - lvi. 1608.

The hypocrites, - Nicholas Saint-Tantlings and Simon Saint-Mary-Oueries, are - characters in _The Puritan_ (1607). John Selden says in his - _Table Talk_ (1689; ed. Reynolds, 134), ‘I never converted - but two, the one was Mr. Crashaw from writing against plays, by - telling him a way how to understand that place, of putting on - woman’s apparel, which has nothing to do with the business’; cf. - _infra_, s.v.

I think the treatise was probably written in - 1607 and touched up in 1608, since (_a_) the series of actors - named as dead ends with Sly, who died in Aug. 1608; (_b_) the - Revels Office is located at St. John’s, which it lost about - Feb. 1608; (_c_) the frustrated Spanish landing in ‘Perin’ in - Cornwall ‘some 12 yeares ago’ is probably the abortive Spanish - attempt to burn Pendennis Castle on Falmouth Harbour, 3 miles - from Penrhyn, which appears from _S. P. D. Eliz._ cclvi, 21, - 40, and Dasent, xxv. 15, to have taken place in the autumn of - 1595, probably in connexion with the better-known landing of - 22 July 1595 in Mount’s Bay. Here there is a Perranuthnoe, but - this was a successful landing, resulting in serious damage to - Penzance, Mousehole, and Newlyn (_Procl._ 879). There was also - a raid at Cawsand Bay near Plymouth on 14 Mar. 1596 (_S. P. - D. Eliz._ cclvi. 89), in which the invaders fired some houses - and boats, and fled to sea on a shot being fired. But there - is no ‘Perin’ in Cawsand Bay. In _Journal of the Folk-Song - Society_, v. 275, is recorded a tradition that ‘the French once - landed invading troops at Padstow Bay; but on seeing a number - of mummers in red cloaks with their hobby-horse they supposed - that the English army was at hand, and fled’. This raid was at - St. Eval, 3 miles west of Padstow, on 13 July 1595 (_Hatfield - MSS._ v. 285), and no doubt formed part of the same expedition - which reached Mount’s Bay. Of course it was Spanish, not French; - the perversion is characteristic of tradition. Conceivably - this episode was what Heywood had in mind, but the nearest - ‘Perin’, Perranporth, is some dozen miles farther west than St. - Evall. Heywood was answered by I.

Halliwell, _Old Books of Characters_ (1857), 131. - Between A and B had appeared the sixth edition of _The Wife_, - with the character of _An Excellent Actor_ and the reference to - a rival as ‘the imitating Characterist’ (v. No. lxi). To this - the additions in B are a rejoinder, and they are reinforced - by two epistles. One is ‘To the namelesse Rayler: who hath - lenghthened his Excellent Actor, a most needy Caracter following - the wife with a peece of dog-skin witt; dressed ouer with oyle - of sweaty Posthorse’. Here the writer, I. S., says he did - ‘admit a friends Satyre’. The other epistle, ‘To the nameles - Author of a late Character entituled, an _Excellent Actor_, - following _The Wife_’, is signed by ‘I. Cocke’, who says, - ‘witnes your gross mistaking of approued and authorised actors - for counterfeit Runagates, or country Players, inueighed against - by the Characterist’. Some appended verses claim for Cocke the - authorship of the _Tinker_, _Apparator_, and _Almanac-maker_ in - _The Wife_. It seems clear that Cocke and not Stephens wrote the - present character, and that _An Excellent Actor_ was a reply to - it. It is true that Stephens only speaks of it as ‘lenghthened’ - by the attack on himself, but ‘lenghthened’ may mean ‘pieced - out’, and there is no version, long or short, in any of the five - first editions of _The Wife_, while a reference to ‘the sixt - impression of S. Thomas Overburyes wife’ on p. 434 of B shows - this was before its writers. John Stephens (cf. ch. xxiii) was - a Lincoln’s Inn dramatist. I cannot find a likely Cocke in the - _Lincoln’s Inn Admission Books_; there is an Isaac Cox, admitted - 10 Jan. 1611 (i. 154), and a John Cookes on 6 June 1614 (i. - 166). Can the satirist be the John Cooke (cf. ch. xxiii) who - wrote _Greene’s Tu Quoque_?] - - - _A common Player_ - -_Is a slow Payer, seldom a Purchaser, never a Puritan._ The Statute -hath done wisely to acknowledg him a Rogue errant[824], for his chiefe -essence is, _A daily Counterfeit_[825]: He hath beene familiar so long -with out-sides, that he professes himselfe (being unknowne) to be an -apparant Gentleman. But his thinne Felt, and his silke Stockings, -or his foule Linnen, and faire Doublet, doe (in him) bodily reveal -the Broker: So beeing not sutable, hee proves a Motley: his mind -observing the same fashion of his body: both consist of parcells -and remnants: but his minde hath commonly the newer fashion, and -the newer stuffe: hee would not else hearken so passionately after -new Tunes, new Trickes, new Devises: These together apparrell his -braine and understanding, whilst he takes the materialls upon trust, -and is himself the Taylor to take measure of his soules liking. Hee -doth conjecture somewhat strongly, but dares not commend a playes -goodnes,[826] till he hath either spoken, or heard the _Epilogue_[827]: -neither dares he entitle good things _Good_, unlesse hee be heartned -on by the multitude: till then hee saith faintly what hee thinkes, -with a willing purpose to recant or persist: So howsoever hee pretends -to have a royall Master or Mistresse, his wages and dependance prove -him to be the servant of the people.[828] When he doth hold conference -upon the stage; and should looke directly in his fellows face; hee -turnes about his voice into the assembly for applause-sake, like a -Trumpeter in the fields, that shifts places to get an eccho.[829] -The cautions of his judging humor (if hee dares undertake it) be a -certaine number of sawsie rude[830] jests against the common lawyer; -hansome conceits against the fine Courtiers; delicate quirkes against -the rich Cuckold a cittizen; shadowed glaunce[831] for good innocent -Ladies and Gentlewomen; with a nipping scoffe for some honest Justice, -who hath[832] imprisoned him: or some thriftie Trades-man, who hath -allowed him no credit: alwayes remembred, his object is, _A new play_, -or _A play newly revived_. Other Poems he admits, as good-fellowes -take Tobacco, or ignorant Burgesses give a voyce, for company sake; as -thinges that neither maintaine nor be against him. To be a player, is -to have a _mithridate_ against the pestilence; for players cannot tarry -where the plague raignes; and therfore they be seldome infected.[833] -He can seeme no lesse then one in honour, or at least one mounted; -for unto miseries which persecute such, he is most incident. Hence -it proceeds, that in the prosperous fortune of a play frequented, he -proves immoderate, and falles into a Drunkards paradise, till it be -_last_ no longer. Otherwise when adversities come, they come together: -For Lent and Shrovetuesday be not farre asunder, then he is dejected -daily and weekely: his blessings be neither lame nor monstrous; they -goe upon foure legges, but moove slowly, and make as great a distance -between their steppes, as between the foure Tearmes. Reproofe is -ill bestowed uppon him; it cannot alter his conditions: he hath bin -so accustomed to the scorne and laughter of his audience, that hee -cannot bee ashamed of himselfe: for hee dares laugh in the middest -of a serious conference, without blushing.[834] If hee marries, hee -mistakes the Woman for the Boy in Womans attire, by not respecting a -difference in the mischiefe: But so long as he lives unmarried, hee -mistakes the Boy, or a Whore for the Woman; by courting the first on -the stage, or visiting the second at her devotions. When hee is most -commendable, you must confesse there is no truth in him: for his best -action is but an imitation of truth, and _nullum simile est idem_. It -may be imagined I abuse his carriage, and hee perhaps may suddenly bee -thought faire-conditioned; for he _playes above board_.[835] Take him -at the best, he is but a shifting companion; for hee lives effectually -by putting on, and putting off. If his profession were single, hee -would think himselfe a simple fellow, as hee doth all professions -besides his owne: His own therefore is compounded of all Natures, all -humours, all professions. Hee is politick also[836] to perceive the -commonwealth[837] doubts of his licence, and therefore in spight of -Parliaments or Statutes hee incorporates himselfe by the title of a -brotherhood. Painting and fine cloths may not by the same reason be -called abusive, that players may not be called rogues: _For they bee -chiefe ornaments of his Majesties Revells_.[838] I need not multiplie -his character; for boyes and every one, wil no sooner see men of this -Facultie walke along but they wil (unasked) informe you what hee is -by the vulgar title.[839] Yet in the generall number of them, many -may deserve a wise mans commendation: and therefore did I prefix an -Epithite of _common_, to distinguish the base and artlesse appendants -of our citty companies, which often times start away into rusticall -wanderers and then (like Proteus) start backe again into the Citty -number.[840] - - - lxi. 1615.

The Characters - do not profess to be all from Overbury’s hand, and the present - one was evidently written as a reply to that of _A Common - Player_ (No. lx). The allusion to painting suggests that the - model was Richard Burbadge. The passage _Therefore the imitating - Characterist ... flea them_ was omitted in the 7th edition - (1616) and in later editions, including the 9th (1616), from - which the reprints in E. F. Rimbault, _Works of Overbury_, - 147, and H. Morley, _Character Writings_, 86, are taken. A. F. - Bourgeois, in 11 _N. Q._ x. 3, 23, gives some striking parallels - of phrase between the Characters of 1615 and the work of John - Webster, which may point to his authorship. Later Characters of - a Player are in J. Earle, _Microcosmography_ (1628, ed. A. S. - West, 81), and R. M., _Micrologia_ (1629, Morley, 285).] - - - _An Excellent Actor._ - -Whatsoeuer is commendable in the graue Orator, is most exquisitly -perfect in him; for by a full and significant action of body, he -charmes our attention: sit in a full Theater, and you will thinke -you see so many lines drawne from the circumference of so many -eares, whiles the _Actor_ is the _Center_. He doth not striue to -make nature monstrous, she is often seene in the same Scaene with -him, but neither on Stilts nor Crutches; and for his voice tis not -lower then the prompter, nor lowder then the Foile and Target. By his -action he fortifies morall precepts with example; for what we see him -personate, we thinke truely done before vs: a man of a deepe thought -might apprehend, the Ghosts of our ancient _Heroes_ walk’t againe, and -take him (at seuerall times) for many of them. Hee is much affected -to painting, and tis a question whether that make him an excellent -Plaier, or his playing an exquisite painter. Hee addes grace to the -Poets labours: for what in the Poet is but ditty, in him is both ditty -and musicke. He entertaines vs in the best leasure of our life, that -is betweene meales, the most vnfit time, either for study or bodily -exercise: the flight of Hawkes and chase of wilde beastes, either of -them are delights noble: but some think this sport of men the worthier, -despight all _calumny_. All men haue beene of his occupation: and -indeed, what hee doth fainedly that doe others essentially: this day -one plaies a Monarch, the next a priuate person. Heere one Acts a -Tyrant, on the morrow an Exile: A Parasite this man to night, to morow -a Precisian, and so of diuers others. I obserue, of all men liuing, a -worthy Actor in one kind is the strongest motiue of affection that can -be: for when he dies, wee cannot be perswaded any man can doe his parts -like him. Therefore the imitating Characterist was extreame idle in -calling them Rogues. His Muse it seemes, with all his loud inuocation, -could not be wak’d to light him a snuffe to read the Statute: for I -would let his malicious ignorance vnderstand, that Rogues are not to -be imploide as maine ornaments to his Maiesties Reuels; but the itch -of bestriding the Presse, or getting vp on this wodden Pacolet, hath -defil’d more innocent paper, then euer did Laxatiue Physicke: yet is -their inuention such tyred stuffe, that like Kentish Posthorse they -can not go beyond their ordinary stage, should you flea them. But to -conclude, I valew a worthy Actor by the corruption of some few of the -quality, as I would doe gold in the oare; I should not mind the drosse, -but the purity of the metall. - - - lxii. 1616.

There are some - slight references to the stage in Thomas Sutton’s _England’s - First and Second Summons_ (1616), 27, 195, but these are Paul’s - Cross sermons delivered, and in the case of the first at least - printed, before he became preacher at Saint Mary Overies in - 1616, and Field is probably answering something later and more - pointed.] - -Protests that Sutton’s labour ‘to hinder the Sacrament and banish me -from myne owne parishe Churche’ is ‘uncharitable dealing with your -poore parishioners, whose purses participate in your contribucion and -whose labour yow are contented to eate’. Can find nothing in the Bible, -‘which I have studied as my best parte’, condemning players, nor does -‘our Caesar, our David’, King James, condemn them. - - - - - APPENDIX D - - DOCUMENTS OF CONTROL - - [_Bibliographical Note._--The material here collected relates - to the control of the stage both by the central and, so far as - London and its suburbs are concerned, by the local authorities. - It is largely drawn from official sources, especially the - Chancery Rolls and the Privy Council Register, and the City - archives, in particular the series of _Remembrancia_, which - begins in 1579 and contains copies of official correspondence - between the Corporation and the Privy Council, or individual - persons of honour. Something has also been contributed by the - _Repertories_ of the Court of Aldermen and the _Journals_ of - the Common Council, but these, as well as the _Liber Legum_ - and the _Letter Books_, which extend to 1590, probably still - require further search. The nature of the Privy Council Register - is described in ch. ii, and it must be borne in mind that - orders relating to plays are probably missing from it, owing - to _lacunae_, of which the chief are May 1559–May 1562, Sept. - 1562–Nov. 1564, Dec. 1565–Oct. 1566, May 1567–May 1570, July - 1572–Feb. 1573, June 1582–Feb. 1586, Aug. 1593–Oct. 1595, April - 1599–Jan. 1600, Jan. 1602–May 1613. For the last of these an - abstract covering 1602–10 in _Addl. MS_. 11402 is an inadequate - substitute. Probably some volumes of the Register were burnt in - the fire of 1619 (cf. ch. i). Many of the documents were printed - by Collier, Hazlitt, Wright, and others, but in most cases - more authoritative texts are available in such publications as - the _Statutes of the Realm_ (1810–22), J. R. Dasent, _Acts of - the Privy Council_ (1890–1907), J. C. Jeaffreson, _Middlesex - County Records_ (1888–92), W. W. Greg, _Henslowe Papers_ (1907), - C. C. Stopes, _Extracts from London Play Regulations_ (1908, - Harrison, _Description of England_, Part iv), and _Collections - of the Malone Society_, vol. i (_Dramatic Records_ from the - _Remembrancia_, _Lansdowne Manuscripts_, _Patent Rolls_, and - _Privy Council Register 1603–42_, by E. K. Chambers and W. W. - Greg), and in view of the diplomatic accuracy of these I have - allowed myself to make the present copies more readable by means - of additional punctuation, modifications in the use of capitals, - and the extension of contractions. I have also occasionally - omitted an irrelevant passage or an endorsement. And I have - replaced full texts by abstracts where, as in the case of the - company patents, the full texts seemed to go better in other - sections of this work.] - - - i. - - [1531.

(1) Petition of the Queen’s Players to the - Privy Council, and (2) Answer of the Corporation of London - enclosing the Act of Common Council of 6 Dec. 1574 (No. xxxii), - printed _M. S. C._ i. 168, from _Lansd. MS._ 20, f. 23; also - in part by Strype in his edition of Stowe’s _Survey_ (1720), - i. 292; Collier, i. 208; Hazlitt, _E. D. S._ 27. The documents - are bound up out of order in the Lansdowne volume, the Act of - 1574 being Art. 10 and (1) being inserted as Art. 12 between - the two parts of (2) which are the reply to it. Each article is - officially endorsed in pencil with the date 1575, and the same - date is assigned by the printed _Catalogue of the Lansdowne - Manuscripts_ (1819) to Arts. 10, 12, and 13. This has misled - Collier and nearly all subsequent historians of the stage into - a belief that players were expelled from the City more or less - permanently in 1575, and that this expulsion led to the building - of the Theatre and the Curtain in 1576. The difficulty due to - the description of the petitioners as the Queen’s men is met by - Collier with a suggestion that ‘perhaps the Earl of Leicester’s - servants might so call themselves after the grant of the patent - in May 1574’, and by Fleay, 46, with an assertion that ‘the - whole body of then existing men actors who were going to perform - at Court at Christmas (Warwick’s, Leicester’s, Howard’s)’ were - meant. I called attention to the true bearing of the documents - in a review of T. F. Ordish, _Early London Theatres_ in the - _Academy_ for 24 Aug. 1895, but the misconception still exists; - it is found, for instance, in Thompson, 41. The facts, however, - are correctly given in Gildersleeve, 171. It is clear from - that part of the Corporation’s Answer which Collier suppressed - that the real date of the Lansdowne documents is later than - the ‘ruine at Parise garden’, which was on 13 Jan. 1583 (cf. - No. lxiv), and it must also be later than the establishment of - the Queen’s men in March 1583, and their first performances at - court in the winter of 1583–4. The petition was, on the face of - it, written at the beginning of a winter, and the most natural - interpretation would place it in the winter of 1584. It might - conceivably be 1585. There is no reference to it in the Acts of - the Privy Council, and it probably belongs to the period of the - missing register between June 1582 and Feb. 1586. Unfortunately, - the _Remembrancia_ also have a gap between March 1584 and Jan. - 1587. It will be observed that the Lansdowne papers are not, as - they stand, complete, since they lack the Articles sent with the - players’ Petition, and also the printed Act of Common Council - sent by the Corporation (No. lxiii).

Letters were obtained from my LLs. to -banishe them on the sabbat Daies. - - - (_b_) - - Now touching their petition and articles - -Where they pretend that they must haue exercise to enable them in their -seruice before her maiestie: - -It is to be noted that it is not conuenient that they present before -her maiestie such playes as haue ben before commonly played in open -stages before all the basest assemblies in London and Middlesex, and -therfore sufficent for their exercise and more comely for the place -that (as it is permitted by the sayd lawes of common counsell) they -make their exercise of playeng only in priuate houses. - -Also it lyeth within the dutiefull care for her Maiesties royal -persone, that they be not suffred, from playeing in the throng of a -multitude and of some infected, to presse so nere to the presence of -her maiestie. - -Where they pretend the mater of stay of their lyuing: - -It hath not ben vsed nor thought meete heretofore that players haue -or shold make their lyuing on the art of playeng, but men for their -lyuings vsing other honest and lawfull artes, or reteyned in honest -seruices, haue by companies learned some enterludes for some encreasce -to their profit by other mens pleasures in vacant time of recreation. - -Where in the first article they require the L. Maiors order to continue -for the times of playeing on hollydaies: - -They missreport the order. For all those former orders of toleration -are expired by the last printed act of common Counsell. - -Also if the toleration were not expired, they do cautelously omitt the -prohibition to receiue any auditoire before common prayer be ended. And -it may be noted how vncomely it is for youth to runne streight from -prayer to playes, from Gods seruice to the Deuells. - -To the second article. - -If in winter the dark do cary inconuenience, and the short time of day -after euening prayer do leaue them no leysure, and fowlenesse of season -do hinder the passage into the feldes to playes, the remedie is ill -conceyued to bring them into London, but the true remedie is to leaue -of that vnnecessarie expense of time, wherunto God himself geueth so -many impediments. - -To the third. - -To play in plagetime is to encreasce the plage by infection: to play -out of plagetime is to draw the plage by offendinges of God vpon -occasion of such playes. - -But touching the permission of playes vpon the fewnesse of those that -dye in any weke, it may please you to remember one special thing. In -the report of the plage we report only those that dye, and we make no -report of those that recouer and cary infection about them either in -their sores running or in their garmentes, which sort are the most -dangerous. Now, my Lord, when the number of those that dye groweth -fewest, the number of those that goe abrode with sores is greatest, the -violence of the disease to kill being abated. And therfore while any -plage is, though the number reported of them that dye be small, the -number infectious is so great that playes are not to be permitted. - -Also in our report, none are noted as dyeing of the plage except -they haue tokens, but many dye of the plage that haue no tokens, and -sometime fraude of the searchers may deceiue. Therfore it is not reason -to reduce their toleration to any number reported to dye of the plage. -But it is an vncharitable demaund against the safetie of the Quenes -subiectes, and per consequens of her persone, for the gaine of a few, -whoe if they were not her maiesties seruants shold by their profession -be rogues, to esteme fifty a weke so small a number as to be cause of -tolerating the aduenture of infection. - -If your Lp. shal think resonable to permit them in respect of the -fewnesse of such as dye, this were a better way. The ordinarie deaths -in London, when there is no plage, is betwene xl. and l. and commonly -vnder xl., as our bokes do shew. The residue or more in plage time is -to be thought to be the plage. Now it may be enough if it be permitted, -that when the whole death of all diseases in London shal by ij or iij -wekes together be vnder l. a weke, they may play (_obseruatis alioqui -obseruandis_) during such time of death vnder l. a weke. - -Where they require that only her maiesties servants be permitted to -play: - -It is lesse eiuell than to grannt moe. But herin if your Lp. will so -allow them, it may please you to know that the last yere when such -toleration was of the Quenes players only, all the places of playeing -were filled with men calling themselues the Quenes players.

And so, &c. - - - - - APPENDIX E - - PLAGUE RECORDS - - - [_Bibliographical Note._--Early accounts of the vital statistics - of the plague are J. Graunt, _Natural and Political Observations - upon the Bills of Mortality_ (1662, 1665, 1676); _Reflections - on the Weekly Bills of Mortality_ (1665, two eds.); J. Bell, - _London’s Remembrancer_ (1665). Modern studies are C. Creighton, - _History of Epidemics in Britain_ (1891); C. H. Hull, _The - Economic Writings of Sir William Petty_ (1899, with reprint - of Graunt’s _Observations_); W. J. Simpson, _A Treatise on - Plague_ (1905). Murray, ii. 171, discusses _The Relation of the - Plague to the Closing of the Theatres_. The ultimate material - consists largely of the weekly bills of mortality returned - for each London parish and published by the City authorities. - In these the deaths from plague were separately stated. They - were probably prepared throughout our period, at any rate from - the plague of 1563. On 14 July 1593 John Wolf entered in the - Stationers’ Register (Arber, ii. 634) a licence to print ‘the - billes, briefes, notes and larges gyven out for the sicknes - weekly or otherwise’. The only complete bill extant is one for - 20 Oct. 1603 (_Political Tracts_, 1680, in Guildhall Library), - but summaries of the weekly totals are available for 1563–6 - (J. Gairdner, _Three Fifteenth-Century Chronicles_, 123, 144), - 1578–83 (Creighton, i. 341, from _Hatfield MSS._), 1593 (Hull, - ii. 426, from Graunt; _vide infra_), 1597–1600 (Hull, ii. 432, - from _Ashmolean MS._ 824), 1603 (Hull, ii. 426, from Graunt; - Scaramelli in _V. P._ x. 33 sqq.), 1604 (Nicolo Molin in _V. - P._ x. 132 sqq.), 1606–10 (Creighton, i. 494, from Bell). - During the sixteenth century the bills appear normally to have - covered 108 or 109 parishes wholly or partly within the City - jurisdiction, but on 4 Aug. 1593 Westminster, St. Katherine’s, - St. Giles, Southwark, Shoreditch, and other suburbs were ordered - exceptionally to make returns to the Lord Mayor (Dasent, xxiv. - 442). On 14 July 1603 the normal list was extended to include - eleven suburban parishes, and in 1606 another was added, making - 121 in all. But the important areas of Westminster, Lambeth, - Newington, Stepney, Hackney, Islington, and Rotherhithe remained - uncovered. Moreover, the suburban figures seem from the print - of 1603 to have been recorded separately, and those in Bell’s - pamphlet are shown by a comparison of his entry for 12 May 1636 - with that in Herbert’s Office-Book (_Variorum_, iii. 239) to - relate only to the City and liberties. The returns for this area - were probably the basis for play restraints in the seventeenth - century (cf. Bk. ii, ch. x). The bills seem to have been issued - on Thursdays, with figures for the seven days ending on the day - of issue.] - -I give all facts indicating any epidemic condition of plague such as -would affect the performance of plays. The play restraints cited are in -App. D. - -_1560._ Trinity term was adjourned to Michaelmas on 24 May (_Procl._ -525), but plague is not named as the reason. - -_1563._ Plague was brought about June by English troops from Havre. The -deaths were above 30 from 3 July to 7 Jan. 1564, and reached 1,828 on -1 Oct. Stowe, _Annales_, 656, gives the totals as 17,404 from 108 City -parishes, and 2,732 from 11 suburban parishes; Camden (tr.), 83, as -21,130 from 121 parishes. Michaelmas term was adjourned to Hilary on -21 Sept. (_Procl._ 582), and Hilary term transferred to Hertford on 10 -Dec. (_Procl._ 583). Plays were restrained on 30 Sept. - -_1564–6._ The bills show no plague deaths over 30. - -_1568._ Some precautions were taken in the City and Westminster -against plague (Creighton, i. 318, 338). - -_1569._ Further precautions were taken on 27 March (Creighton, i. -338) and plays restrained on 31 May until 30 Sept. There was in fact -plague in September and October (Creighton, i. 338; La Mothe, ii. 249, -287; _Sp. P._ ii. 193, 203). Michaelmas term was deferred on 28 Sept. -(_Procl._ 642) and adjourned to Hilary on 23 Oct. (_Procl._ 644). -Access to court was restrained on 3 Oct. (_Procl._ 643). - -_1570._ There was plague in July and August (_Hatfield MSS._ i. 476; -_Sp. P._ ii. 262, 270, 273; Creighton, i. 338). Michaelmas term was -deferred on 24 Sept. (_Procl._ 658). - -_1572._ Harrison reports a restraint of plays for fear of plague. -There is no other evidence. - -_1573._ Plague appeared in the autumn (Creighton, i. 339). The Lord -Mayor’s feast was suppressed (_Remembrancia_, 38). - -_1574._ Michaelmas term was deferred on 1 Oct. (_Procl._ 691). The -plague deaths on 28 Oct. were 65 (Holinshed, iii. 1240). The Lord -Mayor’s feast was suppressed (Dasent, viii. 303). Plays were restrained -on 15 Nov. until Easter. - -_1575._ There was plague in Westminster, but apparently none in London -(Creighton, i. 340). Michaelmas term was deferred on 26 Sept. (_Procl._ -696). - -_1576._ There was plague in the Tower on 13 July (Dasent, ix. 163). -Michaelmas term was deferred on 29 Sept. (_Procl._ 708). - -_1577._ There was plague in August, September, and November (Dasent, -x. 22, 35, 40, 86). Plays were restrained on 1 Aug. to Michaelmas. -Michaelmas term was deferred on 16 Sept. (_Procl._ 719), and further on -15 Oct. (_Procl._ 722). - -_1578._ The plague deaths were over 30 in nearly every week from 17 -April to 18 Dec., reaching 280 on 2 Oct., and totalling 3,568 for the -year. The Lord Mayor’s feast was suppressed and the precautions against -infection revised (Dasent, x. 339, 386, 413). Michaelmas term was -deferred on 22 Sept. (_Procl._ 724) and 20 Oct. (_Procl._ 725), and -adjourned on 14 Nov. to Hilary (_Procl._ 729). Plays were restrained on -10 Nov. and the restraint removed on 23 Dec. - -_1579._ The plague deaths were below 30 in each week, totalling 629 for -the year. - -_1580._ The plague deaths were not above 8 in any week, totalling 128 -for the year, but plays were restrained from 17 April to Michaelmas, -and other precautions taken (_Remembrancia_, 329). - -_1581._ There was plague in the latter part of the year, with deaths -over 30 from 17 Aug. to 2 Nov., reaching 107 on 5 Oct., and totalling -987 for the first forty-five weeks of the year; the figures for the -last seven weeks are missing. The precautions were revised (Creighton, -i. 319). Plays were restrained on 10 July and the restraint removed on -18 Nov. Michaelmas term was deferred on 21 Sept. (_Procl._ 760), and -other precautions taken (_Remembrancia_, 331). - -_1582._ There was some plague during the year (_Remembrancia_, 332), -with deaths over 30 from 26 July to 27 Dec., reaching 216 on 25 Oct., -and totalling 2,976 for fifty-one recorded weeks of the year. Plays -were restrained, probably with the assent of the Privy Council, -although the Register is missing. Michaelmas term was deferred on 18 -Sept. (_Procl._ 764), and transferred to Hertford on 8 Oct. (_Procl._ -765). - -_1583._ The plague deaths were over 30 from 3 to 31 Jan., after -which the record fails. But precautions continued (_Remembrancia_, -335). A restraint of plays was terminated on 26 Nov. - -_1584._ There is no evidence of plague, but the dispute of this -year suggests that the summer restraint of recent years had been -repeated. - -_1585._ There is no evidence of plague or restraint. - -_1586._ There is no evidence of plague, other than a precautionary -restraint of 11 May. - -_1587._ There was a similar precautionary restraint on 7 May. - -_1588–91._ There is no evidence of plague or even of precautionary -restraints. - -_1592._ The first notice of plague is on 13 Aug., when it was daily -increasing (Dasent, xxiii. 118), and there is ample evidence of -its seriousness to the end of the year (ibid., 136, 177, 181, 183, -203, 220, 230, 231, 241, 273, 274, 276, 365; Birch, _Eliz._ i. -87; Creighton, i. 351). A new ‘booke of orders and remedies’ was -recommended by the Council (Dasent, xxiii. 203) on 19 Sept. to the Kent -justices. This is doubtless the _Orders Thoughte Meete by her Maiestie -and her privie Counsell to be executed_ of which several prints -(1592, 1593, 1603, N.D.) exist. It is for provincial use, and has no -special reference to the restraint of plays. Plays had been under -restraint for other reasons than plague since 23 June. The mayoral -feast was suppressed on 11 Oct. (Dasent, xxiii. 232). Access to Hampton -Court was restrained on 12 Oct. (_Procl._ 854). Michaelmas term was -deferred and finally transferred for a short session to Hertford on -21 Oct. (_Procl._ 852, 855, 856). There appear to be no statistics of -deaths; those ordinarily given belong to 1593 (_vide infra_). Suitors -were still excluded from court on 13 Dec. (Dasent, xxiii. 365), but -thereafter there was some recovery, and the records in Henslowe, i. 15, -show that plays were permitted from 29 Dec. to 1 Feb. 1593, although no -formal order is extant. - -_1593._ This was a year of continuous plague (Creighton, i. 352). The -Privy Council warned the Lord Mayor on 21 Jan. that the increase of -deaths after some weeks of diminution required care (Dasent, xxiv. -21), and the Register shows preoccupation with the subject up to -August, when the record fails (ibid., 31, 163, 209, 212, 252, 265, -284, 342, 343, 347, 373, 400, 405, 413, 442, 443, 448, 472). Plays -were restrained on 28 Jan. Trinity term was deferred on 28 May and -Michaelmas term transferred for a short session to St. Albans on 24 -Sept. (_Procl._ 860, 865, 866). Bartholomew Fair (24 Aug.) was strictly -limited (_Procl._ 863). Access to court at Nonsuch was restrained on -18 June and at Windsor on 15 Sept. (_Procl._ 861, 864). The statistics -of deaths are puzzling. Stowe, _Annales_, 766, gives for the period -from 29 Dec. 1592 (Friday) to 20 Dec. 1593 (Thursday) 8,598 in all -and 5,390 from plague within the walls, and 9,295 in all and 5,385 -from plague in the liberties, totalling 17,893 in all and 10,775 from -plague. Camden (tr.), 423, gives a corresponding total of 17,890. A -marginal note to the printed bill of 1603 gives for weeks ending 20 -Dec. 1592 (Wednesday) to 23 Dec. 1593 (Sunday) 25,886 in all and 15,003 -from plague. Here are two divergent computations for the same period, -one of which deserts the Thursdays, to which we know that earlier and -later weekly bills related. Both are more or less contemporary records. -On the other hand, a series of broadsheets (cited in Hull, ii. 426), -followed by a table appended to Graunt’s _Observations_ (ibid.), give -nearly the same figures (25,886 and, not 15,003, but 11,503) as the -totals of weekly figures for the period from 17 March (Friday) to -22 Dec. (Friday), not of 1593, but of 1592, and Graunt adopts these -figures for March to Dec. 1592 in the text of his _Observations_ (Hull, -ii. 363), while he adopts 17,844 and 10,662, which are approximately -Stowe’s figures, for 1593. As a matter of fact, the weekly figures -given do not add up exactly to 25,886 and 11,503; I make them (as -does Hull, ii. 427) 26,407 and 11,106; Creighton, i. 354, makes the -larger figure 25,817. Finally, the anonymous _Reflections on the -Bills of Mortality_ (1665) give 25,886 and 11,503 as the totals for -13 March (Tuesday) to 18 Dec. (Tuesday), not of 1592, but of 1593 -again. The authority of these _Reflections_ is not great, and there -is a discrepancy between the period they take and that taken in the -1603 bill. But I do not see how the detailed weekly figures of the -broadsheets can belong to 1592. The plague deaths are 3 on 17 March -and 31 on 24 March. For the rest of the year they only fall below 30 -on 31 March, 7 April, 5 May, and finally on 22 Dec. They reach 41 on -28 April, 58 on 26 May, and climb to 118 on 30 June. There is a big -jump to 927 on 7 July; they get to a maximum of 983 on 4 Aug. and -thereafter decline, dropping below 100 from 24 Nov. and ending with 71 -on 15 Dec. and 39 on 22 Dec. These figures cannot apply to 1592, when -plague only made its appearance about August. On the other hand, the -figures for 4 Aug. (1,503 and 983) and 29 Sept. (450 and 330) do not -tally exactly, although they do in general effect, with the 1,603 and -1,135 given as ‘the greatest that came yet’ in Henslowe’s letter of -Aug. 1593, or the 1,100 to 1,200 from plague, representing an abatement -in two weeks of 435, in his letter of 28 Sept. (_H. P._ 37, 40). On -the whole, however, I think that all the figures before us relate to -1593 and not 1592, and that the ascription of the detailed tables to -1592 is due to the fact that they begin with 17 March 159–2/3. Graunt -similarly (Hull, ii. 378) quotes 1593 and 1594, where he clearly means -1594 and 1595. The discrepancies between Stowe and the tables are -probably due to the different number of parishes covered by different -computations. If the larger figures relate to an area wider than that -of City and liberties (cf. the P. C. order of 4 Aug. 1593 cited in the -_Bibl. Note_), we perhaps get also an answer to the view of Creighton, -i. 354, and Hull, ii. 427, that they are neither of 1592 nor 1593, but -altogether spurious as representing an impossibly high rate of general -mortality for sixteenth-century London, even when allowance is made for -the unscientific nature of the ‘plague-tokens’ as a diagnosis and the -consequent increase in plague-time of deaths ascribed to other causes. - -_1594._ As in 1592–3, the diminution of plague in December allowed -of a short winter play season. Henslowe, i. 16, records plays from -26 Dec. to 6 Feb. A restraint was ordered on 3 Feb. It was still -thought necessary to inhibit access to court on 21 April (_Hatfield -MSS._ iv. 514), but the plague deaths for the year were only 421 -(Graunt in Hull, ii. 378; Bell, _London’s Remembrancer_). Plays began -tentatively in April and May and regularly in June (Henslowe, i. 17). -The systematization of City precautions was under consideration in the -autumn. - -_1595._ There were only 29 plague deaths (Graunt, in Hull, ii. 378; -Bell, _London’s Remembrancer_). - -_1596._ Plays were restrained for fear of infection on 22 July, but -there is no other evidence of plague. - -_1597–1600._ The tables show no plague deaths above 4 in any week. - -_1601–2._ There is no evidence of plague. - -_1603._ Plague broke out during April (_V. P._ x. 33). Precautions were -already being taken on 18 April (_Remembrancia_, 337). Plays had been -restrained during the illness of Elizabeth on 19 March and probably not -resumed. The terms of the patent to the King’s men on 19 May imply an -existing restraint. The epidemic was a bad one; for an account of it, -cf. Creighton, i. 474, and Dekker, _The Wonderful Year_ (1603, _Works_, -i. 100). The coronation was shorn of its entry and other splendours, -and speedy resort to the country enjoined (_Procl._ 961, 964, 967). -Bartholomew and other fairs were suppressed or put off (_Procl._ -964, 968). Trinity term was deferred on 23 June (_Procl._ 957) and -Michaelmas term deferred on 16 Sept, and transferred to Winchester on -18 Oct. (_Procl._ 970, 973). Stowe, _Annales_, 857, gives the total -deaths in the City and liberties as 38,244, including 30,578 from -plague. Creighton, i. 478, calculates from the weekly tables that with -the addition of those suburbs for which records are available, these -figures must be increased to 42,945 and 33,347. The report of 60,000 -deaths, which Nicolo Molin (_V. P._ x. 126) found hard to believe, was -obviously an exaggeration. The weekly plague bill for the City and -liberties reached 30 on 26 May, 43 on 9 June, and rose very rapidly -from the end of the month, reaching a maximum of 2,495, with 542 for -the recorded suburbs, on 1 Sept. On 22 Dec. the plague deaths for City, -liberties, and the suburbs henceforward included in the City lists (120 -parishes in all) was still 74. Nicolo Molin’s statements on 5 Dec. that -the plague had almost disappeared, and on 15 Dec. that it was never -mentioned (_V. P._ x. 124, 126), must have been optimistic. - -_1604._ Nicolo Molin (_V. P._ x. 132 sqq.) records the totals of the -bills (probably a week or so late) in despatches from 26 Jan. to 23 -Oct. He gives 15 on 26 Jan. and 27 for the City only on 8 Feb., and -thereafter 20 is only reached in a few weeks of May, August, and -September; 30 never. On 23 Oct. there had only been 6 in the last -fortnight, and ‘as that is nothing out of the common, I will not make -any further reports on this subject’ (_V. P._ x. 190). A play restraint -was removed on 9 April, but the reason given was the expiration of -Lent, and it is not impossible that the theatres may have been open -before Lent, which began on 22 Feb. The warrant of 8 Feb., however, for -a special royal subsidy to the King’s men (App. B) suggests that they -were still unable to perform in public on that date. - -_1605._ Creighton, i. 493, says there was ‘not much’ plague; but a -letter of 12 Oct. (Winwood, ii. 140) notes a ‘sudden rising of the -sickness to thirty a week’, followed by some abatement, and there was a -restraint of plays for infection on 5 Oct. which was removed on 15 Dec. - -_1606._ This was a year of plague. The deaths reached 33 on 10 July and -50 on 17 July, rose to a maximum of 141 on 2 Oct., and remained, but -for one or two weeks, above 40 to 4 Dec. and above 30 to the end of -the year. The total, for 121 parishes, was 2,124. Michaelmas term was -adjourned on 23 Sept. (_Procl._ 1038) and access to court restrained -on 1 Nov. (_Procl._ 1039). There is no record of a specific order for -the restraint of plays; possibly it was automatic as a result of the -play-bill. - -_1607._ During the first half of the year the plague deaths were under -30, except for 38 on 1 Jan., 33 on 5 Feb., 30 on 12 March, 33 on 19 -March, and 43 on 30 April. They increased in the autumn, passing 30 -on 9 July and 40 on 23 July, to a maximum of 177 on 24 Sept. After 19 -Nov. they fell below 30. The total for the year was 2,352. As early as -12 April the City, unjustified as yet by the plague bill, asked for a -restraint of plays. Access to court was restrained on 2 Nov. (_Procl._ -1050). - -_1608._ The plague deaths were under 30 until 28 July, when they rose -to 50; for the rest of the year they were over 40, with a maximum -of 147 on 29 Sept, and a total of 2,262. The King’s men practised -privately for about eight weeks this winter (App. B). - -_1609._ The plague of this year, the heaviest since 1603, is recorded -in Dekker’s _Work for Armourers_ (1609, _Works_, iv. 96). The deaths -were over 30, and, with four exceptions, over 40 up to 30 Nov., with -a maximum of 210 on 21 Sept. and a total of 4,240. Michaelmas term -was deferred on 22 Sept. (_Procl._ 1085). The King’s men practised -privately for six weeks this winter (App. B). - -_1610._ The plague deaths were between 30 and 40 on 28 Dec. 1609 and on -4 and 18 Jan. 1610; then under 30 to 28 June, passing 30 on 5 July and -40 on 12 July, and remaining there during most of the rest of the year, -with a maximum of 99 on 30 Aug. and a total of 1,803. They fell below -40 on 29 Nov. and below 30 on 6 Dec. - -_1611–16._ Plague was absent from London (Creighton, i. 496). - - - - - APPENDIX F - - THE PRESENCE-CHAMBER AT GREENWICH - - - [Entry for 27 Aug. 1598 in _Pauli Hentzneri J.

La linea di punti che viene ad essere aliuello -da L a O doue essa finira nel pariete vltimo della scena, iui sara l’ -orizonte, loqual pero seruira solamente per quel pariete, et questa -linea sara quella che sara sempre orizonte, alle faccie de i casamenti -che saranno in maiesta. Ma quelle parti de i casamenti che scurtiano -lo suo orizonte sara quel piu lontano segnato O. Et e ben ragione se -i casamenti in effetto han dua facie, lequai spettino a dua lati, che -anchora habbino dua orizonti; et questo e quanto al profilo della -scena. Ma lo proscenio si e quella segnata D: la parte E rappresenta -l’ horchestra leuata da terra mezzo piede. Doue si vede F sonno le -sedie de piu nobili. Li primi gradi segnati G saran per le donne piu -nobili, et salendo piu ad alto le men nobili vi si metterano. Quel -luoco piu spacioso doue e H e vna strada, et cosi la parte I vn altra -strada onde fra l’ una e l’ altra quei gradi saranno per la nobilita -de gli huomini. Dal I in su li gradi che vi sonno, li men nobili si -metteranno. Quel gran spacio segnato K sara per la plebe, et sara -magiore et minore secondo la grandezza del luoco; et lo Theatro, et -la scena ch’ io feci in Vicenza, furono circa a questo modo, et de -l’ un corno a l’ altro del Theatro era da piedi ottanta, per essere -questo fatto in vn gran cortile, doue trouai magior spacio, che doue -era la scena per essere quella appoggiata ad vna loggia. Li armamenti -et ligature de i legnami furono nel modo dimostrato qui auanti, et -per esser questo Theatro senza appoggio alcuno, io volsi (per magior -fortezza) farlo ascarpa nella circonferentia di fori. - - [Illustration: (_B_) - - THE _PIANTA_ OR GROUND-PLAN OF A STAGE] - - - _Trattato sopra le Scene._ - -[f. 27] Fra l’ altre cose fatte per mano de gli huomini che si -possono mirare con gran contentezza d’ occhio et satisfationi d’ -animo: e (al parer mio) il discoprirsi lo apparato di vna scena, doue -si vede in picol spacio fatto da l’ arte della Perspettiua superbi -palazzi, amplissimi tempij, diuersi casamenti, et da presso, e di -lontano, spaciose piazze ornate di varii edificij, dritissime e longhe -strade incrociate da altre vie, archi triomphali, altissime colonne, -pyramide, obelischi, et mille altre cose belle, ornate d’ infiniti -lumi, grandi, mezzani, et piccoli, secondo che l’ altre lo comporta, -liquali sono cosi arteficiosamente ordinati, che rappresentano tante -gioie lucidissime, come saria Diamanti, Rubini, Zafiri, Smeraldi, et -cose simili. Quiui si vede la cornuta et lucida Luna leuarsi pian -piano; et essersi inalzata, che gli occhi de i spettatori non l’ han -veduta muouersi: in alcune altre si vede lo leuare del sole, et il suo -girare, et nel finire della comedia tramontar poi con tale artificio -che molti spettatori di tal cosa stupiscono; con l’ artificio a qualche -bon proposito si vedera descendere alcun Dio dal cielo, correre -qualche Pianeta per l’ aria, venir poi su la scena diuersi intermedij -richissimamente ornati, liuree di varie sorti con habiti strani, si per -moresche come per musiche. Tal’ hor si vede strani animali entro de i -quali son huomini, et fanciulli, atteggiando, saltando, et correndo -cosi bene, che non e senza merauiglia de riguardanti, le quai tutte -cose dan tanto di contentezza a l’ hocchio, et a l’ animo, che cosa -materiale, fatta da l’ arte, non si potria imaginare piu bella; et di -quelle cose poi che siamo in proposito de l’ arte della perspettiua, -io ne trattaro alquanto. Pure quantunque questo modo di perspettiua -di ch’ io parlaro sia diuerso dalle regole passate, per essere quelle -imaginate sopra li parieti piani: et questa per essere materiale et -di rilieuo e ben ragione a tenere altra strada. Primieramente per il -commune vso si fa vn suolo leuato da terra quanto l’ hocchio nostro; -cioe dalla parte dauanti et di dietro si fa piu alto la nona parte, -partendo in noue parti tutto il piano, et vna di quelle. Sia leuato -il detto suolo dalla parte di drieto verso l’ orizonte, et sia ben -piano et forte per causa delle moresche. Questa pendentia io l’ ho -trouata commoda con la esperientia, perche in Vicenza (citta molto -ricca et pomposissima fra l’ altre d’ Italia) io feci vno Theatro, et -vna scena di legname, perauentura, anzi senza dubio, la magiore che -a nostri tempi si sia fatta, doue per li merauigliosi intermedij che -vi accadeuano, cioe carette, Elefanti, et diuerse moresche, io volsi -che dauanti la scena pendente vi fosse vn suolo piano, la latitudine -del quale fu piede xij, et in longitudine piedi lx, doue io trouai tal -cosa ben commoda, et di grande aspetto. Questo primo suolo essendo -piano, lo suo pauimento non vbidiua a l’ orizonte, ma li suoi quadri -furono perfetti, et al cominciare dal piano pendente tutti quei quadri -andauano a l’ orizonte ilche con la sua debita distantia sminui. Et -perche alcuni han posto l’ orizonte a l’ ultimo pariete che termina la -scena, il qual e necessario metterlo sul proprio suolo al nascimento -di esso pariete, doue dimostra che tutti li casamenti se adunano, io -mi sono imaginato di trapassare piu la con l’ orizonte, la qual cosa -mi e cosi bene reuscita, che a fare tal cose ho sempre tenuto questa -strada, et cosi consiglio coloro che di tal arte se diletterano, a -tener questo camino, como nella seguente carta dimostraro, et come ne -ho trattato qui adietro nel profilo del Theatro, et della Scena. Et -perche gli apparati delle comedie sono di tre maniere, cioe la Comica, -la Tragica, et la Satyrica, io trattaro al presente de la comica, i -casamenti della quale voglion essere di personagi priuati, liquali -apparati per la maggior parte si fanno al coperto in qualche sala, che -nel capo di essa vi sia camere per la commodita de i dicitori, et iui -si fa lo suolo come qui piu a dietro io dissi, e ne dimostrai lo suo -profilo, et qui alianti dimostrero la pianta. Primieramente la parte -C e quel suolo piano et poniam caso che vn quadro sia dua piedi, et -medesimamente quegli del piano pendente son dua piedi per ogni lato, et -e segnato B; e (come ho detto nel profilo) io non intendo di mettere l’ -orizonte al pariete vltimo de la scena, ma quanto sara dal principio -di esso piano B fin al muro sia trapassato altro tanto di la dal muro -con l’ orizonte; et quelle dua linee di punti dinotano lo muro in capo -di essa sala, e cosi tutti li casamenti et altre cose haueranno piu -dolcezza ne i scurcij, doue tirati tutti li quadri ad esso orizonte, -et diminuiti secondo la sua distantia, si leuaran su li casamenti, li -quali son quelle linee grosse sul piano, per diritto, et per trauerso; -et questi tai casamenti io li ho sempre fatti di telari, sopra liquali -ho poi tirato tele, facendogli le sue porte in faccia et in scurtio -secondo le occasioni, et ancho ci ho fatto alcune cose di basso rilieuo -di legnami che han aiutato molto le pitture, come al suo loco ne -trattaro. Tutto lo spacio da li telari al muro segnati A seruiranno -per li dicittori, et sempre lo pariete vltimo vuol essere discosto -dal muro almen dua piedi, accio li diccitori possino passar coperti; -dipoi quanto si trouera alto l’ orizonte, sia tanto alzato vn termino -al principio del piano B che sara L et da li a l’ orizonte sia tirata -vna linea chi e di punti, laquale sara al liuello, et doue questa -ferira nel vltimo pariete: iui sara l’ orizonte di esso pariete: et non -seruira perho ad altro telaro: ma la detta linea sia vna cosa stabile, -perche questa seruira a tutti quei telari che saranno in maiesta, per -trouare le grossezze di alcune cose, ma lo primo orizonte di la dal -muro seruira a tutti li scurcij de i casamenti. Et perche a far questo -saria necessario a rompere esso muro, ilche non si puo fare, io ho -sempre fatto vno modello piccolo di cartoni et legnami, ben misurato -et traportato poi in grande di cosa in cosa giustamente con facilita. -Ma questa lettione forsi ad alcuno sara difficile, nondimeno sara -necessario faticarsi nel far de modelli et esperientie, che studiando -trouara la via. Et perche le sale (per grande che siano) non son capaci -di Theatri, io nondimeno, per accostarmi quanto io possi agli antichi, -ho voluto di esso Theatro farne quella parte che in vna gran sala possi -capere. Perho la parte D seruira per proscenio. La parte circolare -segnata E sara l’ orchestra leuata vn grado dal proscenio, intorno -laquale son sedie per li piu nobili, che son F; li gradi primi G son -per le donne piu nobili; la parte H e strada et cosi la parte I. Gli -altri gradi son per li huomini men nobili, fra liquali vi son scale per -salire piu agiatamente. Quei luochi spaciosi segnati K saran poi per la -plebe et saranno magiori o minori secondo li luochi, et come il luoco -sara magiore, lo Theatro prendera piu della sua perfetta forma. - - [Illustration: (_C_) - - ELEVATION OF A _SCENA COMICA_] - - - _Della Scena Comica._ - -[f. 28] Quanto alla dispositione de i Theatri, et delle Scene circa -alla pianta io ne ho trattato qui adietro, hora delle scene in -perspettiua ne trattaro particularmente, et perche (com’ io dissi) le -scene si fanno di tre sorte, cioe la Comica per rappresentar comedie, -la Tragica per le tragedie, e la Satyrica per le satyre, questa prima -sara la Comica, i casamenti della quale vogliono essere di personaggi -privati, come saria di cittadini auocati, mercanti, parasiti, et altre -simili persone. Ma sopra il tutto che non vi manchi la casa della -Rufiana ne sia senza hostaria, et uno tempio vi e molto necessario. -Per disporre li casamenti sopra il piano detto suolo, io ne ho dato il -modo piu adietro, si nel leuare i casamenti sopra li piani, come nella -pianta delle scene massime, come et doue si dee porre l’ orizonte. -Nientedimeno accio che l’ huomo sia meglio instrutto circa alle forme -de i casamenti, io ne dimostro qui a lato vna figura, laquale potra -essere vn poco di luce a chi di tal cosa vorra dilettarsi. Pur in -questa essendo cosi picola non ho potuto osseruare tutte le misure. -Ma solamente ho accennato alla inuentione per aduertir l’ huomo a -saper fare elettione di quei casamenti che posti in opera habbino a -reuscir bene come saria un portico traforato, dietro del quale si vegga -vn altro casamento come questo primo, li archi delquale son di opera -moderna. Li poggiuoli (altri dicono pergoli; altri Renghiere) hanno -gran forza nelle faccie che scurzano, et cosi qualche cornice che li -suoi finimenti vengono fuori del suo cantonale, tagliati intorno et -accompagnati con l’ altre cornice dipinte, fanno grande effetto; cosi -le case che han gran sporto in fuori riusciscono bene, come l’ hostaria -della luna qui presente; et sopra tutte le altre cose si de fare -elettione delle case piu piccole, et metterle dauanti, accio che sopra -esse si scuoprano altri edificii, come si vede sopra la casa della -Ruffiana, l’ insegna della quale sono li rampini, o vogliam dire hami, -onde per tal superiorita della casa piu adietro viene a rappresentar -grandezza, et riempisse meglio la parte della scena, che non farebbe -diminuendo, se le summita delle case diminuissero l’ una dopo altra; et -benche le cose qui disegnate habbino vn lume solo da vn lato, nondimeno -tornano meglio a dargli il lume nel mezzo: percioche la forza de i lumi -si mette nel mezzo, pendenti sopra la scena, et tutti quei tondi, o -quadri, che si veggono per gli edificii sono tutti i lumi artificiati -di varii colori transparenti: de i quali daro il modo da fargli ne l’ -estremo di questo libro. Le finestre che sono in faccia sara bene a -mettergli de lumi di dietro, ma che siano di vetro, et ancho di carta -ouero di tela dipinta torneran bene. Ma s’ io volessi scriuere di tutti -gli aduertimenti che mi abbundano circa a tal cose, io sarei forsi -tenuto prolisso, perho io le lassaro nel’ intelletto di coloro che in -tal cose si voranno essercitare. - - [Illustration: (_D_) - - ELEVATION OF A _SCENA TRAGICA_] - - - _Della Scena Tragica._ - -[f. 29] La Scena Tragica sara per rappresentare tragedie. Li casamenti -d’ essa vogliono essere di grandi personagi; percioche gli accidenti -amorosi, et casi inopinati, morte violenti et crudeli (per quanto si -lege nelle tragedie antiche, et ancho nelle moderne) sonno sempre -interuenute dentro le case de signori, duchi, o gran principi, imo, di -Re; et perho (come ho detto) in cotali apparati non si fara edificio -che non habbia del nobile: si come se dimostra nella seguente figura, -entro la quale (per esser cosa piccola) non ho potuto dimostrare -quei grandi edificij Regij et signorili, che in vn luogo spatioso -si potrebbono fare. Ma basti solamente a l’ Arcitetto che in torno -a cose simili si vorra essercitare, per hauer vn poco di luce circa -alla inuentione, et dipoi secondo li luochi et anchora li sugietti -sapersi accommodare; et (come ho detto nella scena comica) sempre si -de fare elettione di quelle cose che tornano meglio a riguardanti, -non hauendo rispetto a mettere vn edificio piccolo dauanti ad vno -grande, per le gia dette ragioni. Et perche tutte le mie scene ho -fatte sopra li telari, ci sonno tal volta alcune difficulta, che e ben -necessario a seruirsi del rilieuo di legname, come quello edificio -al lato sinistro, li pilastri del quale posano sopra vn basamento -con alcuni gradi. In questo caso sara da fare il detto basamento di -basso rilieuo, leuato sopra lo piano, et poi si faran li due telari, -cioe quello in faccia, et quello in scurtio; et stano solamente fin -alla summita del parapetto, che e sopra li primi archi. Hora perche -gli archi secondi se ritirano per dar luoco al parapetto, cosi li dua -telari di sopra si ritiraranno: di maniera che tal opera verra bene, et -quello ch’ io dico di questo edificio se intende anchora de gli altri, -quando qualche parti si ritireranno, massimamente di quei casamenti -che sono qua dauanti. Ma quando tai cose fussero di lontano, vn telaro -solo seruiria, facendo tutte le parti ben lineate, et ben colorite. -Circa alli lumi artificiati, s’ e detto a bastanza nella scena comica. -Tutte le superficie sopra li tetti, come saria camini, campanili, et -cose simili (benché quiui non vi siano) se faranno sopra vna tauola -sottile, tagliati intorno, ben lineati et coloriti. Similmente qualche -statue finte di marmo o di bronzo si faranno di grosso cartone, o -pur di tauola sottile, ben ombregiate et tagliate intorno; poi si -metteranno alli suoi luochi, ma siano talmente disposti, et lontani che -i spettatori non le possino vedere per fianco. In queste Scene, benche -alcuni hanno dipinto qualche personagi che rappresentano il viuo, come -saria vna femina ad vn balcone, o drento d’ una porta, etiamdio qualche -animale, queste cose non consiglio che si faccino, perche non hanno -il moto et pure rappresentano il viuo; ma qualche persona che dorma a -bon proposito, ouero qualche cane o altro animale che dorma, perche non -hanno il moto. Anchora si possono accomodare qualche statue, o altre -cose finte di marmo, o d’ altra materia, o alcuna hystoria, o fabula -dipinta sopra vn pariete, che io lodaro sempre si faccia cosi. Ma nel -rappresentare cose viue lequali habbino il moto, ne l’ estremo di -questo libro ne trattaro, et daro il modo come s’ abbino a fare. - - [Illustration: (_E_) - - ELEVATION OF A _SCENA SATYRICA_] - - - _Della Scena Satyrica._ - -[f. 30] La Scena Satyrica e per rappresentar satyre, nelle quali se -riprendono (anzi vero se mordeno) tutti coloro che licentiosamente -viuono, et senza rispetto nelle satyre antiche erano quasi mostrati -a dito gli huomini viciosi et mal viuenti. Perho tal licentia si -puo comprendere che fusse concessa a personaggi che senza rispetto -parlassero, come saria a dire gente rustica, percioche Vitruuio -trattando delle scene, vuole che questa sia ornata di arbori, sassi, -colli, montagne, herbe, fiori, et fontane, vuole anchora che vi -siano alcune capanne alla rustica, come qui appresso se dimostra. Et -perche a tempi nostri queste cose per il piu delle volte si fanno -la inuernata, doue pochi arbori et herbe con fiori se ritrouano, si -potran bene artificiosamente fare cose simili di seta lequali saranno -anchora piu lodate che le naturali; percioche, cosi come nelle Scene -Comiche et Tragiche se imitano li casamenti et altri edificij, con -l’ artificio della pittura, cosi anchora in questa si potran bene -imitare gli arbori et l’ herbe co fiori. Et queste cose quanto saranno -di maggior spesa tanto piu lodeuoli saranno, perche (nel vero) son -proprie di generosi magnanimi, et richi signori, nemici della bruta -Auaritia. Questo gia vidiro gli occhi mei in alcune scene ordinate da -l’ intendente Architetto Girolamo Genga, ad instantia del suo padrone -Francesco Maria Duca di Vrbino, doue io compresi tanta liberalita nel -prence, tanto giuditio et arte l’ Arcitetto, et tanta bellezza nelle -cose strutte, quanto in altra opera fatta da l’ arte che da me sia -stata veduta giamai. (O Dio immortale) che magnificentia era quella di -veder tanti arbori et frutti, tante herbe et fiori diuersi, tutte cose -fatte di finissima seta di variati colori, le ripe et i sassi copiosi -de diuerse conche marine, di limache et altri animaletti, di tronchi -di coralli di piu colori, di matre perle, et di granchi marini inserti -ne i sassi, con tanta diuersita di cose belle; che a volerle scriuere -tutte, io sarei troppo longo in questa parte. Io non diro de i satyri, -delle Nymphe, delle syrene, et diuersi monstri o animali strani, fatti -con tal artificio, che aconzi sopra gli huomini et fanciulli secondo la -grandezza loro, et quelli, andando et mouendosi secondo la sua natura, -rappresentauano essi animali viui. Et se non ch’ io sarei troppo -prolisso, io narrarei gli habiti superbi di alcuni pastori, fatti di -ricchi drappi d’ oro et di seta, foderati di finissime pelle d’ animali -seluatichi. Direi anchora de i vestimenti d’ alcuni pescatori, liquali -non furono men ricchi de gli altri, le rete de i quali erano di fila -d’ oro fino, et altri suoi stromenti tutti dorati. Direi di alcune -pastorelle et Nymphe, gli habiti delle quali sprezauano l’ Auaritia. -Ma io lassaro tutte queste cose ne gli intelletti de i giudiciosi -Architetti: liquali faranno sempre di queste cose, quando trouaranno -simili padroni conformi alle lor voglie, gli et donanti piena licentia, -con larga mano, di operare tutto quello che vorranno. - - - _Di Lumi arteficiali delle Scene._ - -[f. 31] Ho promesso piu adietro negli trattati delle scene, di dare il -modo come si fanno i lumi artificiali di variati colori transparenti; -perche primieramente diro del colore celeste, il quale rappresenta il -zafiro et ancho assai piu bello. Prendi vn pezzo di sale ammoniaco, et -habbi vn bacile da barbiere o altro vaso di ottone, mettendogli drento -vn detto di aqua. Poi questo pezzo di sale va ben fregando nel fondo, -et intorno questo bacile, tanto che ’l se consumi tutto: agiungendoli -de l’ aqua tuttauia, et quando vorrai piu quantita di questa aqua, -et che ’l colore sia piu bello, fa maggiore la quantita del sale -ammoniaco. Fatto adonque vno bacile pieno di questa aqua falla passare -per il feltro in vno altro vaso, et questa sara di color celeste -bellissimo. Ma volendolo piu chiaro vi agiungerai de l’ aqua pura, -cosi di questo sol colore ne farai di molti piu chiari et piu scuri -quanto vorrai; et se di questa medesima aqua zafrina vorrai fare colore -di Smeraldo, mettili drento alquanto di zaffarano, tanto piu o meno, -secondo che la vorrai piu oscura o piu chiara. Di queste cose non ti do -le proportioni; ma con la esperientia ne farai di piu forte o chiare -o pur oscure. Se vorrai fare del colore di Rubino, se sarai in luoco -doue siano vini vermigli carichi di colore et chiaretti: questi faranno -di rubin maturi et gai cioe acerbi, et se non hauerai de vini, prendi -del vergine tagliato in pezzeti, mettendolo in vna caldara piena d’ -aqua, con alquanto di alume di rocha, et la farai bolire spiumandola, -et poi passare pel feltro, et agiungendoli aqua pura se vorrai colore -piu chiaro; et se vorai colore di Balasso, il vino goro, bianco, et -vermiglio insieme, fara tal colore. Cosi anchora li vini bianchi piu -et meno carichi faran colore de Griso passo, et di Thopasso. Ma (senza -dubio alcuno) l’ aqua pura passata pel feltro contrafara li Diamanti. -Pure, per farli, sara necessario adoperare alcune forme in punta, et -in tauola, et alla fornace de i vetri fare delle bozze che prendano -tal forma, et quelle impire d’ aqua. Ma il modo de disporre questi -colori transparenti sara questo. Sara di dietro alle cose dipinte, -doue anderanno questi colori, vna tauola sottile traforata nel modo -che saran compartiti questi lumi, sotto laquale sara un’ altra tauola -per sostenere le bozze di vetro piene di queste aque; poi dette bozze -si metteranno con la parte piu curua appoggiate a quei buchi, et bene -assicurate che non caschino per i strepiti delle moresche; et dietro le -bozze si mettera vno cesendelo, overo lampada, accio lo lume sia sempre -equale; et selle bozze verso la lampada saranno piane anzi concaue, -riceueranno meglio la luce, et li colori saranno piu transparenti, -cosi anchora per quei tondi liquali saranno in scurtio sara da fare -le bozze di quella sorte. Ma se accadra tal fiata vn lume grande et -gagliardo, sara da metterui di dietro vna torza, dopo laquale sia vn -bacile da barbiere ben lucido et nuovo, la reflettione del quale fara -certi splendori, come di raggi del sole. Et se alcuni luochi saranno -quadri come mandola, o altre forme, si prendera delle piastre di vetri -di variati colori posti a quei luochi col suo lume di dietro. Ma questi -lumi non saran (perho) quelli che allumineranno la scena, percioche -gran coppia di torze si metteno pendente dauanti alla scena. Si potra -anchora su per la scena mettere alcuni candelieri con torze sopra, ed -anchora sopra essi candelieri vi sia vn vaso pieno di acqua, drento -laquale metterai vn pezzo di camphora, loquale ardendo fa bellissimo -lume, et e odorifero. Alcuna fiata accadera a dimostrare qualche cosa -che abbruscia (sia che si voglia); si bagnara benissimo di aqua vite -della piu potente, et apizatogli lo fuoco con vna candeletta: ardera -per vn pezzo. Et ben che quanto alli fuochi si potra dire assai piu, -voglio questo sia basteuole per presente. Ma parliamo di alcune cose -lequali sono di gran diletto a spettatori. Mentre la scena e vota -de dicitori, potra l’ Arcitetto hauer preparato alcune ordinanze -di figurette, di quella grandezza che si ricercara dove hauranno a -passare, et queste saranno di grosso cartone colorite et tagliate -intorno, lequali posaranno sopra vn regolo di legno a trauerso la -scena, doue sia qualche arco, fatto sopra il suolo vno incastro a -coda di Rondina, entro lo quale si mettera detto regolo; et cosi -pianamente vna persona dietro al detto arco le fara passare, et tal -fiata dimostrare che siano musici con istrumenti et voci, onde dietro -alla scena sara vna musica a somissa voce. Tal volta fara correre vn -squadrone di gente chi a piedi et chi a cauallo, lequali con alcune -voci o gridi sordi, strepiti di tamburi, et suono di trombe, pascono -molto gli spettatori. Et se tal volta accadera che vno Pianeta, o altra -cosa per aria si vegga passare, sia ben dipinta quella cosa in cartone -et tagliata intorno; poi dietro la scena (cioe a gli vltimi casamenti) -sia tirato a trauerso vn filo di ferro sottile, et con alcuni aneletti -in esso filo attacati dietro il cartone, nel quale sia un filo negro, -et da l’ altro lato sara vna persona che pian piano lo tirara a se, -ma sara di forte lontano, che ne l’ uno ne l’ altro filo sara veduto. -Tal fiata accadera tuoni, lampi et folgori a qualche proposito; li -tuoni cosi si faranno. Sempre (come ho detto) le scene si fanno nel -capo di vna sala, sopra laquale gli e sempre vn suolo, sopra del -quale si fara correre vna grossa balla di pietra, laquale fara bene -il tuono. Lo lampo cosi si fara. Sara vno dietro alla scena in luoco -alto, hauendo nella mano vna scatoletta, entro laquale vi sia polue di -vernice: et il coperchio sia pieno di busi: nel mezzo del coperchio -sara vna candeletta accesa: et alzando in su la mano, quella polue -salira in alto, et perchuotera nella candela accesa, di maniera che -fara lampi assai bene. Circo al folgore, sara tirato vn filo di ferro -lontano a trauerso la scena, che descenda a basso, entro del quale -sara aconcio vn rochetto, o raggio, che si sia, ma questo sara ornato -di oro stridente, et mentre si fara lo tuono, nel finir di quello sia -scaricata vna coda, et nel medesimo tempo dato il fuoco al folgore, et -fara buono effetto. Ma s’ io volessi trattare di quante cose similimi -abbondano, io saria troppo longho; pero faccio fine quanto alla -perspettiua. - - - - - APPENDIX H - - THE GULL’S HORNBOOK - - [Chapter vi from T. Dekker, _The Gull’s Hornbook_ (1609). There - is no entry in the Stationers’ Register. Editions are by J. Nott - (1812), J. O. Halliwell (1862), C. Hindley (1872, _Old Book - Collector’s Miscellany_, ii), A. B. Grosart (1884, _Dekker’s - Works_, ii), G. Saintsbury (1892), O. Smeaton (1904), and R. - B. McKerrow (1904, _King’s Library_; 1905, _King’s Classics_). - I have adopted two trifling emendations; ‘Plaiers are’ for - ‘Plaiers and’ in the first paragraph, and ‘Stage, like time’ for - ‘Stagelike time’ in the ninth. McKerrow reprints the chapter - on the Stage from S. Vincent’s Restoration adaptation of the - pamphlet in _The Young Gallant’s Academy_ (1674).] - - - _How a Gallant should behaue himself in a Playhouse._ - -The Theater is your Poets Royal Exchange, vpon which, their Muses (that -are now turnd to Merchants) meeting, barter away that light commodity -of words for a lighter ware then words, _Plaudities_ and the _Breath_ -of the great _Beast_, which (like the threatnings of two Cowards) -vanish all into aire. _Plaiers_ are their _Factors_, who put away the -stuffe, and make the best of it they possibly can (as indeed tis their -parts so to doe). Your Gallant, your Courtier, and your Capten, had -wont to be the soundest paymaisters, and I thinke are still the surest -chapmen: and these by meanes that their heades are well stockt, deale -vpon this comical freight by the grosse: when your _Groundling_, and -_Gallery Commoner_ buyes his sport by the penny, and, like a _Hagler_, -is glad to vtter it againe by retailing. - -Sithence then the place is so free in entertainment, allowing a stoole -as well to the Farmers sonne as to your Templer: that your Stinkard -has the selfe same libertie to be there in his Tobacco-Fumes, which -your sweet Courtier hath: and that your Car-man and Tinker claime as -strong a voice in their suffrage, and sit to giue iudgement on the -plaies life and death, as well as the prowdest _Momus_ among the tribe -of _Critick_: It is fit that hee, whom the most tailors bils do make -roome for, when he comes should not be basely (like a vyoll) casd vp in -a corner. - -Whether therefore the gatherers of the publique or priuate Playhouse -stand to receiue the after-noones rent, let our Gallant (hauing paid -it) presently aduance himselfe vp to the Throne of the Stage. I meane -not into the Lords roome, (which is now but the Stages Suburbs).

But on the -very Rushes where the Commedy is to daunce, yea and vnder the state -of _Cambises_ himselfe must our fethered _Estridge_, like a peece of -Ordnance be planted valiantly (because impudently) beating downe the -mewes and hisses of the opposed rascality. - -For do but cast vp a reckoning, what large cummings in are pursd vp by -sitting on the Stage. First a conspicuous _Eminence_ is gotten; -by which meanes the best and most essenciall parts of a Gallant (good -cloathes, a proportionable legge, white hand, the Persian lock, and a -tollerable beard) are perfectly reuealed. - -By sitting on the stage, you haue a signd pattent to engrosse the whole -commodity of Censure; may lawfully presume to be a Girder: and stand at -the helme to steere the passage of _Scænes_[;] yet no man shall -once offer to hinder you from obtaining the title of an insolent, -ouer-weening Coxcombe. - -By sitting on the stage, you may (without trauelling for it) at the -very next doore, aske whose play it is: and, by that _Quest_ of -_inquiry_, the law warrants you to auoid much mistaking; if you -know not the author, you may raile against him: and peraduenture so -behaue your selfe, that you may enforce the Author to know you. - -By sitting on the stage, if you be a Knight, you may happily get you a -Mistresse: if a mere _Fleet street_ Gentleman, a wife: but assure -yourselfe by continuall residence, you are the first and principall man -in election to begin the number of _We three_. - -By spreading your body on the stage, and by being a Justice in -examining of plaies, you shall put your selfe into such true -_Scænical_ authority, that some Poet shall not dare to present his -Muse rudely vpon your eyes, without hauing first vnmaskt her, rifled -her, and discouered all her bare and most mysticall parts before you -at a Tauerne, when you most knightly shal for his paines, pay for both -their suppers. - -By sitting on the stage, you may (with small cost) purchase the deere -acquaintance of the boyes: haue a good stoole for sixpence: at any -time know what particular part any of the infants present: get your -match lighted, examine the play-suits lace, and perhaps win wagers -vpon laying tis copper, &c. And to conclude whether you be a foole or -a Justice of peace, a Cuckold or a Capten, a Lord Maiors sonne or a -dawcocke, a knaue or an vnder-Sheriffe, of what stamp soeuer you be, -currant or counterfet, the Stage, like time, will bring you to most -perfect light, and lay you open: neither are you to be hunted from -thence though the Scar-crows in the yard, hoot at you, hisse at you, -spit at you, yea throw durt euen in your teeth: tis most Gentlemanlike -patience to endure all this, and to laugh at the silly Animals: but if -the _Rabble_ with a full throat, crie away with the foole, you -were worse then a mad-man to tarry by it: for the Gentleman and the -foole should neuer sit on the Stage together. - -Mary let this obseruation go hand in hand with the rest: or rather -like a country-seruing-man, some fiue yards before them. Present not -your selfe on the Stage (especially at a new play) vntill the quaking -prologue hath (by rubbing) got cullor into his cheekes, and is ready -to giue the trumpets their Cue that hees vpon point to enter: for then -it is time, as though you were one of the _Properties_, or that you -dropt out of the _Hangings_, to creepe from behind the Arras, with -your _Tripos_ or three-footed stoole in one hand, and a teston mounted -betweene a forefinger and a thumbe in the other: for if you should -bestow your person vpon the vulgar, when the belly of the house is but -halfe full, your apparell is quite eaten vp, the fashion lost, and the -proportion of your body in more danger to be deuoured, then if it were -serued vp in the Counter amongst the Powltry: auoid that as you would -the Bastome. It shall crowne you with rich commendation to laugh alowd -in the middest of the most serious and saddest scene of the terriblest -Tragedy: and to let that clapper (your tongue) be tost so high that all -the house may ring of it: your Lords vse it; your Knights are Apes to -the Lords, and do so too: your Inne-a-court-man is Zany to the Knights, -and (many very scuruily) comes likewise limping after it: bee thou a -beagle to them all, and neuer lin snuffing till you haue scented them: -for by talking and laughing (like a Plough-man in a Morris) you heap -_Pelion_ vpon _Ossa_, glory vpon glory: As first, all the eyes in the -galleries will leaue walking after the Players, and onely follow you: -the simplest dolt in the house snatches vp your name, and when he -meetes you in the streetes, or that you fall into his hands in the -middle of a Watch, his word shall be taken for you: heele cry, _Hees -such a Gallant_, and you passe. Secondly, you publish your temperance -to the world, in that you seeme not to resort thither to taste vaine -pleasures with a hungrie appetite: but onely as a Gentleman, to spend -a foolish houre or two, because yoe can doe nothing else. Thirdly you -mightily disrelish the Audience, and disgrace the Author: mary, you -take vp (though it be at the worst hand) a strong opinion of your owne -iudgement and inforce the Poet to take pitty of your weakenesse, and, -by some dedicated sonnet to bring you into a better paradice, onely to -stop your mouth. - -If you can (either for loue or money) prouide your selfe a lodging -by the water-side: for, aboue the conueniencie it brings, to shun -Shoulder-clapping, and to ship away your Cockatrice betimes in the -morning, it addes a kind of state vnto you, to be carried from thence -to the staires of your Playhouse: hate a Sculler (remember that) worse -then to be acquainted with one ath’ Scullery. No, your Oares are your -onely Sea-crabs, boord them, and take heed you neuer go twice together -with one paire: often shifting is a great credit to Gentlemen; and that -diuiding of your fare wil make the poore watersnaks be ready to pul -you in peeces to enioy your custome: No matter whether vpon landing -you haue money or no, you may swim in twentie of their boates ouer the -riuer upon _Ticket_: mary, when siluer comes in, remember to pay -trebble their fare, and it will make your Flounder-catchers to send -more thankes after you, when you doe not draw, then when you doe; for -they know, It will be their owne another daie. - -Before the Play begins, fall to cardes, you may win or loose (as -_Fencers_ doe in a prize) and beate one another by confederacie, -yet share the money when you meete at supper: notwithstanding, to gul -the _Ragga-muffins_ that stand aloofe gaping at you, throw the -cards (hauing first torne foure or fiue of them) round about the Stage, -iust vpon the third sound, as though you had lost: it skils not if the -foure knaues ly on their backs, and outface the Audience, theres none -such fooles as dare take exceptions at them, because ere the play go -off, better knaues than they will fall into the company. - -Now sir, if the writer be a fellow that hath either epigramd you, or -hath had a flirt at your mistris, or hath brought either your feather -or your red beard, or your little legs, &c. on the stage, you shall -disgrace him worse then by tossing him in a blancket, or giuing him the -bastinado in a Tauerne, if, in the middle of his play (bee it Pastoral -or Comedy, Morall or Tragedie), you rise with a skreud and discontented -face from your stoole to be gone: no matter whether the Scenes be -good or no, the better they are the worse do you distast them: and, -beeing on your feet, sneake not away like a coward, but salute all your -gentle acquaintance, that are spred either on the rushes, or on stooles -about you, and draw what troope you can from the stage after you: the -_Mimicks_ are beholden to you, for allowing them elbow roome: -their Poet cries perhaps a pox go with you, but care not you for that, -theres no musick without frets. - -Mary if either the company, or indisposition of the weather binde you -to sit it out, my counsell is then that you turne plain Ape, take vp -a rush and tickle the earnest eares of your fellow gallants, to make -other fooles fall a laughing: mewe at passionate speeches, blare at -merrie, finde fault with the musicke, whew at the childrens Action, -whistle at the songs: and aboue all, curse the sharers, that whereas -the same day you had bestowed forty shillings on an embrodered Felt and -Feather, (scotch-fashion) for your mistres in the Court, or your punck -in the city, within two houres after, you encounter with the very same -block on the stage, when the haberdasher swore to you the impression -was extant but that morning. - -To conclude, hoard vp the finest play-scraps you can get, vpon which -your leane wit may most sauourly feede for want of other stuffe, when -the _Arcadian_ and _Euphuisd_ gentlewomen haue their tongues sharpened -to set vpon you: that qualitie (next to your shittlecocke) is the onely -furniture to a Courtier thats but a new beginner, and is but in his A -B C of complement.

Flecknoe, who died _c._ 1678, was old enough to - travel abroad in 1640.] - -They Acted nothing here but Playes of the holy Scripture, or Saints’ -Lives; and that without any certain Theaters or set Companies, till, -about the beginning of Queen Elizabeth’s Reign, they began here first -to assemble into Companies, and set up Theaters, first in the City, (as -in the Inn-yards of the Cross-Keyes, and Bull in Grace and Bishops-Gate -Street at this day is to be seen) till that Fanatick Spirit which -then began with the Stage, and after ended with the Throne, banisht -them thence into the Suburbs, as after they did the Kingdom, in the -beginning of our Civil Wars. In which time, Playes were so little -incompatible with Religion, and the Theater with the Church, as on -Week-dayes after Vespers, both the Children of the Chappel and St. -Pauls Acted Playes, the one in White-Friers, the other behinde the -Convocation-house in Pauls, till people growing more precise, and -Playes more licentious, the Theatre of Pauls was quite supprest, -and that of the Children of the Chappel converted to the use of the -Children of the Revels.... - -It was the happiness of the Actors of those times to have such Poets -as these to instruct them, and write for them; and no less of those -Poets to have such docile and excellent Actors to Act their Playes, -as a Field and Burbidge; of whom we may say, that he was a delightful -Proteus, so wholly transforming himself into his Part, and putting -off himself with his Cloathes, as he never (not so much as in the -Tyring-house) assum’d himself again until the Play was done: there -being as much difference between him and one of our common Actors, as -between a Ballad-singer who onely mouths it, and an excellent singer, -who knows all his Graces, and can artfully vary and modulate his -Voice, even to know how much breath he is to give to every syllable. -He had all the parts of an excellent Orator (animating his words -with speaking, and Speech with Action) his Auditors being never more -delighted then when he spoke, nor more sorry then when he held his -peace; yet even then, he was an excellent Actor still, never falling -in his Part when he had done speaking; but with his looks and gesture, -maintaining it still unto the heighth, he imagining Age quod agis, -onely spoke to him: so as those who call him a Player do him wrong, -no man being less idle then he, whose whole life is nothing else but -action; with only this difference from other mens, that as what is but -a Play to them, is his Business: so their business is but a play to him. - -Now for the difference betwixt our Theaters and those of former times, -they were but plain and simple, with no other Scenes, nor Decorations -of the Stage, but onely old Tapestry, and the Stage strew’d with Rushes -(with their Habits accordingly) whereas ours now for cost and ornament -are arriv’d at the heighth of Magnificence.... For Scenes and Machines -they are no new invention, our Masks and some of our Playes in former -times (though not so ordinary) having had as good or rather better then -any we have now. - - - ii. - - [Extracts from _Historia Histrionica: an Historical Account - of the English Stage, shewing the Ancient Use, Improvement, - and Perfection of Dramatick Representations in this Nation.

Shakespeare -(who, as I have heard, was a much better Poet than Player), Burbage, -Hemmings, and others of the older sort, were dead before I knew the -Town. But, in my time, before the Wars; Lowin used to act, with mighty -applause, Falstaff; Morose; Vulpone; and Mammon in the _Alchemist_; -Melancius in the _Maid’s tragedy_. And at the same time, Amyntor was -played by Stephen Hammerton: who was, at first, a most noted and -beautiful Woman-Actor; but afterwards he acted, with equal grace and -applause, a young lover’s part. - -Taylor acted Hamlet incomparably well; Jago; Truewit, in the _Silent -Woman_; and Face, in the _Alchemist_. - -Swanston used to play Othello. - -Pollard and Robinson were Comedians. So was Shank; who used to act Sir -Roger in the _Scornful Lady_. These were of the ‘Blackfriars’.... - -_Truman._ Before the Wars, there were in being, all these Play -Houses at the same time. - - The ‘Blackfriars’ and ‘Globe’ on the Bankside. A winter, and - summer house belonging to the same Company; called ‘The King’s - Servants’. - - The ‘Cockpit’ or ‘Phoenix’ in Drury Lane; called ‘The Queen’s - Servants’. - - The Private House in Salisbury Court; called ‘The Prince’s - Servants’. - - The ‘Fortune’ near White Cross Street: and the ‘Red Bull’ at - the upper end of St. John’s Street. The two last were mostly - frequented by citizens, and the meaner sort of people. - -All these Companies got money, and lived in reputation: especially -those of the ‘Blackfriars’, who were men of grave and sober behaviour. - -_Lovewit._ Which I much admire at. That the Town, much less than -at present, could then maintain Five Companies; and yet now Two can -hardly subsist. - -_Truman._ Do not wonder, but consider! That though the Town was then, -perhaps, not much more than half so populous as now; yet then the -prices were small (there being no scenes), and better order kept among -the company that came: which made very good people think a play an -innocent diversion for an idle hour or two; the plays being then, for -the most part, more instructive and moral.... It is an argument of the -worth of the Plays and Actors of the last Age, and easily inferred that -they were much beyond ours in this, to consider that they could support -themselves merely from their own merit, the weight of the matter, and -goodness of the action; without scenes and machines.... - -_Lovewit._ I have read of one Edward Alleyn.... Was he one of the -‘Blackfriars’? - -_Truman._ Never, as I have heard; for he was dead before my time. -He was Master of a Company of his own; for whom he built the ‘Fortune’ -playhouse from the ground: a large round brick building.... - -_Lovewit._ What kind of Playhouses had they before the Wars? - -_Truman._ The ‘Blackfriars’, ‘Cockpit’, and ‘Salisbury Court’ -were called Private Houses; and were very small to what we see now. -The ‘Cockpit’ was standing since the Restoration; and Rhodes’s Company -acted there for some time. - -_Lovewit._ I have seen that. - -_Truman._ Then you have seen the other two, in effect; for they -were all three built almost exactly alike, for form and bigness. Here -they had ‘Pits’ for the gentry, and acted by candlelight. - -The ‘Globe’, ‘Fortune’, and ‘Bull’ were large houses, and lay partly -open to the weather: and there they always acted by daylight.... - -_Truman._ Plays were frequently acted by Choristers and Singing -Boys; and several of our old Comedies have printed in the title-page, -Acted by the Children of Paul’s (not the School, but the Church); -others, By the Children of Her Majesty’s Chapel. In particular, -_Cynthia’s Revels_ and the _Poetaster_ were played by them; -who were, at that time, famous for good action.... Some of the Chapel -Boys, when they grew men, became Actors at the ‘Blackfriars’. Such were -Nathan Field and John Underwood. - - - iii. - - [Extracts from John Downes, _Roscius Anglicanus, or, an - Historical Review of the Stage_ (1708), reprinted by Joseph - Knight (1886).

The ‘Master -Spense’ of the S. R. entry may be a confusion with the publisher’s -name. Wood, _Ath.

Moore Smith has, - however, shown that it almost certainly belongs to an earlier - visit, and took place at Queens’ College on 1 March 1595. The - chief evidence is the reference in Rowland Whyte’s account of - the _Device_ by Essex or Bacon (q.v.) for 17 Nov. 1595 to - ‘Giraldy’ and ‘Pedantiq’, as played at Cambridge. These may - fairly be taken to be the Gerardus and the pedant Petrus of - _Laelia_. The actors of these two parts are identified with - George Meriton and George Mountaine, Fellows of Queens’, by John - Weever, _Epigrammes_ (1599), iv. 19. - - Your entertaine (nor can I passe away) - Of Essex with farre-famed Laelia; - Nor fore the Queen your service on Queens day. - - Conceivably this may also attribute authorship of the play - and the device. The play is an adaptation of the Italian _Gl’ - Ingannati_ (_c._ 1531) through _Les Abusez_ (1543) of Charles - Estienne.

Moore Smith (1905, _Materialien_, - viii). - - The introductory line, ‘Ante quater denos vixi Pedantius - annos’, suggests production in 1591, but the play cannot - have been very recent when Sir John Harington, in a note to - his translation of _Orlando Furioso_ (1591), Bk. xiv, cited - a ‘pretie conceit’ of ‘our Cambridge Comedie Pedantius (at - whiche I remember the noble Earle of Essex that now is, was - present)’. In his _Apologie of Poetrie_, prefixed to the - translation, Harington also says (G. Smith, _Elizabethan - Critical Essays_, ii. 210), ‘How full of harmeles myrth is our - Cambridge _Pedantius_? and the Oxford _Bellum Grammaticale_?’ - Harington, who again cites ‘our _Pedantius_ of Cambridge’ in his - _Metamorphosis of Ajax_ (1596), 126, was with Essex at Cambridge - during 1578–81, and Moore Smith has shown that the production - at Trinity was probably on 6 Feb. 1581, shortly before the - defeat of Gabriel Harvey by Anthony Wingfield of Trinity for - the Public Oratorship of Cambridge. There can be little doubt - that Harvey was the butt of _Pedantius_, and hardly more that - Wingfield was concerned in this satire. Nashe has two allusions - to the matter. In _Strange News_ (1593) he says that Harvey’s - verses were ‘miserably flouted at in M. _Winkfields_ Comoedie of - _Pedantius_ in Trinitie Colledge’ (_Works_, i. 303). In _Have - With You to Saffron-Walden_ (1596) he says, ‘Ile fetch him aloft - in Pedantius, that exquisite Comedie in Trinitie Colledge; - where, vnder the cheife part, from which it tooke his name, as - namely the concise and firking finicaldo fine School-master, - hee was full drawen & delineated from the soale of the foote to - the crowne of his head’, and goes on to enumerate the principal - traits of Harvey touched off by the actors, who ‘borrowed his - gowne to playe the Part in, the more to flout him’ (_Works_, - iii. 80). So far, we are left a little uncertain whether the - main authorship is to be ascribed, with Nashe in _Strange News_, - to Anthony Wingfield, or, with the _Caius MS._, to Edward - Forsett, both of whom were Fellows of Trinity in 1581. Moore - Smith has, however, shown in _T. L. S._ (10 Oct. 1918) that - Forsett refers to ‘Pedantio meo’ in the epistle to an unprinted - _Concio_ of his among the MSS. of St. John’s, Cambridge. For an - absurd attempt to assign the authorship to Bacon, largely on the - ground of some non-existent pigs in the title-page border, cf. - E. A. [E. G. Harman], _The Shakespeare Problem_ (1909), and _T. - L. S._ (27 March, 17 April, 1 May, 1919).

Some of the later plays are only included - in deference to the conjectures of others as to their early - origin in whole or in part. The list is little more than an - index; details must be sought in chh. xxiii and xxiv. I think it - is nearly self-explanatory. The plays marked T. in col. 1 are - those of which the first entry in the Register is in connexion - with a transfer of copyright; the name in col. 4 is then that - of the transferrer. Titles of non-extant plays are marked with - inverted commas in col. 3; some of them (cf. App. M) may not - really relate to plays at all. The symbol (s) in col. 6 is used - where the imprint indicates, not that a play is printed ‘for’ a - stationer, but that it is ‘to be sold by’ a stationer; it is not - quite clear how far the two formulae are equivalent. The most - important notes in col. 7 are those in italics, which indicate - direct evidence afforded by the entry or first title-page as - to companies by which the plays had been acted. I have added - from other sources additional ascriptions which seem certain - or reasonably probable, and sometimes omitted even title-page - evidence where it obviously relates to production by a company - of later origin than 1616. The notes in col. 8 must not be taken - as attributions of authorship, but merely as guides to the - relevant sections in ch. xxiii or to ch. xxiv. The brackets in - this column indicate that the plays, being pre-Elizabethan, are - dealt with in App. X of _The Mediaeval Stage_. Some statistics, - based on this list, of the output of plays from the Elizabethan - press, will be found in ch. xxii.] - - DATE OF DATE OF - ENTRY. PRINT. TITLE. ENTERER. PRINTER. PUBLISHER. SOURCE.

These are mainly taken - either from the Stationers’ Register or from the publishers’ - advertisement lists (Rogers and Ley’s in 1656, Archer’s in - 1656, Kirkman’s in 1661 and 1671), analysed by W. W. Greg in - an appendix to his _Masques_ (1902). One is included in Sir - John Harington’s catalogue of his library of plays apparently - compiled in 1610 (cf. ch. xxii). Probably some of the registered - titles, in which the description ‘play’ or ‘interlude’ is not - used, do not relate to plays at all. I might have added a few - more of this type from A. Esdaile, _List of English Tales and - Romances_ (1912, _Bibl. Soc._), xxxiii. And it must be borne - in mind that registration is not proof of publication. In - particular, it is pretty clear that the two long series of - entries by Humphrey Moseley on 9 Sept. 1653 and 29 June 1660, - from which I have taken those conceivably relating to pre-1616 - work, represent unaccomplished enterprises. They are fully - discussed in W. W. Greg, _The Bakings of Betsy_ (1911, _3 - Library_, ii. 225), together with John Warburton’s (_ob._ 1759) - list in _Lansd. MS._ 807, f. 1, of plays which he claims to have - possessed in MS., until ‘through my own carelesness and the - ignorance of my ser[vant] in whose hands I had lodgd them they - was unluckely burnd or put under Pye bottoms’. As this list is - evidently in some way related to Moseley’s entries, I have, for - the sake of completeness, cited a few titles which it adds.] - - -_A Bad Beginning Makes a Good Ending._ - - By Ford (q.v.). - -_Adam’s Tragedy._ - - _S. R._ 1608, March 26 (Pasfield). ‘A book called Adams - tragedie.’ _W. White_ (Arber, iii. 372). - - This is not likely to have been a play. - -_Antonio and Vallia._ - - By Massinger (q.v.). - -_Baggs Seneca._ - - See ch. xxiii (Seneca). - -_Bartholomew Fairing._ - - Comedy in Archer’s list as well as Jonson’s _B. Fair_. - -_Battle of Affliction._ - - Tragedy in Archer’s list. - -_Belinus._ - -_Brennus._ - - Sir John Harington’s catalogue of his plays in 1610 (7 _N. - Q._ ix. 382) includes ‘Belynus, Brennus’. This might - represent either two plays or one. - -_Bonos Nochios._ - - _S. R._ 1609, Jan. 27 (Segar). ‘An enterlude called Bonos - Nochios.’ _Charlton_ (Arber, iii. 400). - -_Cardenio._ - - Ascribed to Shakespeare (q.v.) and Fletcher. - -_Celestina._ - - _S. R._ 1598, Oct. 5. ‘A booke intituled The tragicke Comedye of - Celestina, wherein are discoursed in most pleasant stile manye - Philosophicall sentences and advertisementes verye necessarye - for younge gentlemen Discoveringe the sleightes of treacherous - servantes and the subtile cariages of filthye bawdes.’ _William - Aspley_ (Arber, iii. 127). - - This was doubtless, like the earlier _Calisto and Meliboea_ - (_Mediaeval Stage_, ii. 455) and James Mabbe’s _The Spanish - Bawd_ (1631), a version of the Spanish _Celestina_ (1499) of - Fernando de Rojas, but it can hardly have been Mabbe’s, which - was entered in S. R. on 27 Feb. 1630, while Mabbe, although born - in 1572, is first heard of as a writer in 1611, and appears to - have turned his attention to things Spanish as a result of a - visit to Spain in that year. - -_1 Chinon of England._ - - _S. R._ 1596, Jan. 20. ‘The ffirste parte of the famous historye - of Chinan of England.’ _T. Gosson and Danter_ (Arber, iii. 57). - - The Admiral’s produced ‘Chinone of Ingland’ as a new play on - 3 Jan. 1596. Greg, ii. 178, is probably right in relating the - S. R. entry to Christopher Middleton’s romance, _The Famous - Historie of Chinon of England_, printed by Danter for Cuthbert - Burby in 1597. But ‘Chinon of England’ is in Rogers and Ley’s - list. - -_Cleopatra._ - - An unascribed ‘Cleopatra’, in addition to the plays of Daniel - (q.v.) and May, is in Rogers and Ley’s list. - -_Cloth Breeches and Velvet Hose._ - - _S. R._ 1600, May 27. ‘A morall of Clothe breches and veluet - hose, As yt is acted by my lord Chamberlens servantes.’ - _Roberts_ (Arber, iii. 161). - - This is one of the plays stayed by a note in the Register on the - same day (cf. ch. xxii). - -_College of Canonical Clerks._ - - _S. R._ 1566–7. ‘An interlude named the Colledge of canonycall - clerkes.’ _John Charlewod_ (Arber, i. 335). - -_Craft Upon Subtlety’s Back._ - - _S. R._ 1609, Jan. 27 (Segar). ‘An enterlude called, Crafte - vppon Subtiltyes backe.’ _Charlton_ (Arber, iii. 400). - -_Crafty Cromwell._ - - A tragi-comedy in Kirkman’s list of 1661. Greg, _Masques_, lx, - thinks it may be a duplicate entry of _Cromwell’s Conspiracy_ - (1660). - -_Destruction of Jerusalem._ - - By Legge (q.v.). - -_Duke Humphrey._ - - Ascribed to Shakespeare (q.v.). - -_English Arcadia._ - - A comedy in Archer’s list, but probably, as suggested by Greg, - _Masques_, lxv, an error for Gervase Markham’s romance (1607, - 1613) of that name. - -_Eunuchus._ - - By Kyffyn (q.v.)? - -_Faithful Friends._ - - Ascribed to Beaumont (q.v.) and Fletcher. - -_Far Fetched and Dear Bought is Good for Ladies._ - - _S. R._ 1566–7. ‘A playe intituled farre fetched and deare - bowght ys good for lades.’ _Thomas Hackett_ (Arber, i. 331). - -_Fatal Love._ - - Ascribed to Chapman (q.v.). - -_Fortune._ - - _S. R._ 1566–7. ‘A playe of Fortune to know eche one hyr - conditions and gentle manours aswell of Women as of men &c.’ - _Thomas Purfoote_ (Arber, i. 332). - - Collier, _Stationers’ Registers_, i. 155, suggested that - this was a ‘lottery, or game’, not an interlude, and this - receives support from a transfer of his father’s copies to - Purfoot’s son on 6 Nov. 1615 (Arber, iii. 576), which includes - ‘The little booke of Fortune with pictures’. - -_George Scanderbeg._ - - _S. R._ 1601, July 3. ‘The true historye of George - Scanderbarge as yt was lately playd by the right honorable the - Earle of Oxenforde his servantes.’ _E. Allde_ (Arber, iii. - 187). - - There seems no adequate reason for ascribing this to Marlowe - (q.v.) or Nashe. - -_Give a Man Luck and Throw him into the Sea._ - - _S. R._ 1600, July 24. ‘Two plaies or thinges ... the other gyve - a man luck and throw him into the sea.’ _Oliffe_ (Arber, iii. - 168). - -_Godfrey of Bulloigne._ - - See Heywood, _Four Prentices of London_. - -_God Speed the Plough._ - - _S. R._ 1601, March 1. ‘A booke called God spede the ploughe.’ - _Harrison_ (Arber, iii. 180). - - This is not necessarily the play acted by Sussex’s men for - Henslowe in Dec. 1593 (ch. xiii), or indeed a play at all. - -_Guise._ - - Entered in Rogers and Ley’s list as by Marston (q.v.), in - Archer’s as a comedy by Webster (q.v.), and in Kirkman’s of 1661 - and 1671 without ascription; that of 1671 calls it a tragedy. - -_Gustavus, King of Swethland._ - - Ascribed to Dekker (q.v.). - -_Heliogabalus._ - - _S. R._ 1594, June 19. ‘An ... enterlude of the lyfe and deathe - of Heliogabilus.’ _Danter_ (Arber, ii. 654). - - Can this be the play on ‘the mad priest of the Sun’ apparently - referred to by Greene (q.v.) in _Perimides_ (1588)? - -_Hemidos and Thelay._ - - _S. R._ 1569–70. ‘A boke intituled the Rufful tragedy of Hemidos - and Thelay by Rychard Robynson.’ _Henry Bynneman_ (Arber, i. - 411). - - Probably not a play. - -_Henry I._ - -_Henry II._ - - Both ascribed to Shakespeare (q.v.). - -_Hunting of Cupid._ - - By Peele (q.v.). - -_Impatient Grissell._ - - A comedy in Archer’s list. - -_Iphis and Iantha._ - - Ascribed to Shakespeare (q.v.). - -_The Jesuits’ Comedy._ - - _S. R._ 1607, Oct. 14 (Jackson). ‘A book called the Jesuytes - Commedie. Acted at Lyons in Fraunce the 7 and 8 of August 1607.’ - _Allde and Johnson_ (Arber, iii. 361). - - Probably only a narrative of this famous performance; cf. ch. x. - -_The Jew of Venice._ - - Ascribed to Dekker (q.v.). - -_Job._ - - Ascribed to Greene (q.v.). - -_Joconda and Astolso._ - - Ascribed to Dekker (q.v.). - -_John of Gaunt._ - - _S. R._ 1594, May 14. ‘A booke entituled the famous historye of - John of Gaunte sonne to Kinge Edward the Third with his Conquest - of Spaine and marriage of his Twoo daughters to the Kinges of - Castile and Portugale &c.’ _E. White_ (Arber, ii. 649). - - Probably not a play but the chap-book source of that begun by - Hathway (q.v.) and Rankins for the Admiral’s in 1601 (cf. Greg, - _Henslowe_, ii. 216). Arber, v. 176, however, describes it - as a play printed for White by Islip. - -_Joseph’s Afflictions._ - - An interlude in the lists of Archer and Kirkman. - -_A Knave in Print._ - - By W. Rowley (q.v.). - -_The London Merchant._ - - By Ford (q.v.). - -_Madon, King of Britain._ - - Ascribed to Beaumont (q.v.). - -_The Maiden’s Holiday._ - - Ascribed to Marlowe (q.v.) and Day. - -_Manhood and Misrule_ (?). - - In Rogers and Ley’s list; presumably identical with the comedy - of _Manhood and Wisdom_ in those of Archer and Kirkman. - -_The Second Maiden’s Tragedy._ - - Extant in MS. (cf. ch. xxiv). - -_Marriage of Wit and Wisdom._ - - By Merbury (q.v.); extant in MS. - -_Mother Rumming._ - - A comedy in Archer’s list. Greg, _Masques_, xc, suggests an - error for T. Thompson’s late _Mother Shipton_, which Archer - omits. Elinor Rumming, however, might well have made a - play-theme. - -_The Netherlands._ - - In Rogers and Ley’s list. - -_Niniveh’s Repentance._ - - An interlude in Rogers and Ley’s and Archer’s lists. - -_Ninus and Semiramis._ - - _S. R._ 1595, May 10. ‘The tragedie of Ninus and Semiramis, - the first Monarchs of the world.’ _Hardy_ (Arber, ii. 297). - -_The Nobleman._ - - By Tourneur (q.v.). - -_2 Sir John Oldcastle._ - - By Drayton (q.v.). - -_Ortenus._ - - Archer’s list has both _Ortenas_, a tragedy, and _Ortenus_, a - comedy. - -_The Owl._ - - By Daborne (q.v.). - -_Philenzo and Hippolyta._ - - By Massinger (q.v.). - -_The Queen._ - - A tragedy in Archer’s list. Fletcher’s name is given, but Greg, - _Masques_, c, says this has ‘crept in from another entry’. - -_Richard Whittington._ - - _S. R._ 1605, Feb. 8. ‘The history of Richard Whittington of his - lowe byrthe, his great fortune, as yt was plaid by the prynces - servantes.’ _Pavier_ (Arber, iii. 282). - - The play is referred to in _K. B. P._ ind. 22. - -_Robin Hood and Little John._ - - _S. R._ 1594, May 14. ‘A booke entituled a pastorall plesant - Commedie of Robin Hood and Little John.’ _Islip_ (Arber, ii. - 649). - - Arber, v. 176, describes the play as printed by Islip for E. - White, to whom the copy was passed by a cancel. It appears in - Rogers and Ley’s and Archer’s lists of 1656. Greg, _Henslowe_, - ii. 190, finds an allusion to its ‘merry jests’ in Munday’s - _Downfall of Robin Hood_, iv. 2. - -_Rufus I._ - - _S. R._ 1595, Nov. 24. ‘A booke intituled The true tragicall - historie of kinge Rufus the First with the life and deathe of - Belyn Dun the first thief that ever was hanged in England.’ _W. - Blackwell_ (Arber, iii. 54). - - Greg, _Henslowe_, ii. 164, thinks this the _Bellendon_ played - as a new piece by the Admiral’s and Chamberlain’s for Henslowe - on 10 June 1594 (cf. ch. xiii). The title curiously resembles - that of another book, probably, as Greg suggests, a chap-book, - entered in S. R. by T. Gosson on 17 May 1594 as ‘a book - intituled The famous Cronicle of Henrye the First, with the life - and death of Bellin Dunn the firste thief that ever was hanged - in England’ (Arber, ii. 650). Perhaps this was the source of the - play. - -_A Sackful of News._ - - _S. R._ 1557–8. ‘These bokes folowynge called ... a sacke full - of newes.’ _J. King_ (Arber, i. 75). - - 1582, Jan. 15. Transfer from S. Awdeley to John Charlwood - (Arber, ii. 405). - - 1586, Sept. 5. ‘A sackfull of newes, beinge an old copie: whiche - the said Edward is ordered to haue printed by Abell Jeffes.’ - _Edward White_ (Arber, ii. 456). - - This is less likely to have been the ‘lewd’ play suppressed at - the Boar’s Head, Aldgate, in Aug. 1557 (_Mediaeval Stage_, - ii. 223) than the jest-book known to Captain Cox in 1575 (F. J. - Furnivall, _Laneham’s Letter_, lxvi. 30) and printed from - the earliest extant edition of 1673 by W. C. Hazlitt, _Old - English Jest Books_, ii. 163. - -_King Stephen._ - - Ascribed to Shakespeare (q.v.). - -_Susanna._ - - By T. Garter (q.v.). - -_The Tartarian Cripple._ - - _S. R._ 1600, Aug. 14. ‘The famous Tragicall history, of ye - Tartarian Crippell Emperour of Constantinople.’ _Burby_ (Arber, - iii. 169). - - Not necessarily a play. - -_’Tis Good Sleeping in a Whole Skin._ - - By W. Wager (q.v.). - -_Tityrus and Galatea._ - - Possibly identical with Lyly’s _Galathea_ (q.v.). - -_The Twins’ Tragedy._ - - By Niccolls (q.v.). - -_The Two Sins of King David._ - - _S. R._ 1561–2. ‘An new interlude of the ij synmes of kynge - Davyd.’ _Hacket_ (Arber, i. 181). - -_Valentine and Orson._ - - _S. R._ 1595, May 23. ‘An enterlude of Valentyne and Orsson, - plaid by her maiesties Players.’ _T. Gosson and Hancock_ (Arber; - ii. 298). - - 1600, March 31 (in full court). ‘A famous history called - Valentine and Orsson played by her maiesties Players.’ _W. - White_ (Arber, iii. 159). - - The relation of this Queen’s play to that written by Hathaway - and Munday (q.v.) for the Admiral’s in 1598 is uncertain. - -_Witless._ - - _S. R._ 1560–1. ‘Playe of wytles.’ _Hacket_ (Arber, i. 154). - - Probably John Heywood’s dialogue of _Witty and Witless_, extant - in MS. (_Mediaeval Stage_, ii. 446). - -_A Yorkshire Gentlewoman and her Son._ - - Ascribed to Chapman (q.v.). - - - - - APPENDIX N - - MANUSCRIPT PLAYS - - [_Bibliographical Note._--This list includes only English texts. - Most of the Latin plays (cf. App. K) also exist in MS. The - English ones so preserved are generally of an academic type; on - the general character of the few that are of playhouse origin, - cf. ch. xxii. Of the fifteen play texts collected in _Egerton - MS._ 1994, only three appear to be of plays written before - 1616; descriptions of this collection are in A. H. Bullen, - _O. E. P._ ii. 417, and F. S. Boas, _A Seventeenth-Century - Theatrical Repertoire_ (_3 Library_, July 1917). In addition - to the plays named below, there are a _Pelopidarum Secunda_ - in _Harleian MS._ 5110, which may be of any date in the first - half of the seventeenth century, and a Welsh ‘enterlut’, dated - 1584 and without ascription or title in _Peniarth MS._ 68 (_H. - M. C. Welsh MSS._ i. 2. 467). A full account of the Plots - (‘plott’ ‘plotte’, ‘platt’) is given, with the seven texts, - by Greg, _Henslowe Papers_, 127. They have sometimes been - taken for ‘_scenarie_’ of impromptu plays, like the Italian - ‘Commedie dell’arte’, although one of them is for the extant - _Battle of Alcazar_; but they were probably for the use of the - ‘bookholder’ or the ‘tireman’, and consist of skeleton outlines - of the action, with notes of entrances and exits, and of the - points at which properties and music are required. The names - of the dramatis personae are generally accompanied by those of - the actors who represented them. The paper on which they are - written is mounted on pasteboard, and a hole cut near the top - probably served to suspend them on a peg in the playhouse. All - seven probably belong to companies (Strange’s and Admiral’s) - with which Edward Alleyn was connected. One was utilized for the - cover of a Dulwich MS., and G. Steevens, who once owned three of - the others, found ‘reason to suppose that these curiosities once - belonged to the collection of Alleyn’.] - - - PLAYS - - _Alaham_ (Greville).

OF PERSONS - - III. OF PLACES - - IV. OF SUBJECTS - - - - - INDEXES - - - These indexes are selective, not exhaustive. That of _Plays_ - is, I hope, full. Classical and foreign plays, including plays - given by English players abroad, but not Latin plays written - in England, are printed in italics; plays not clearly extant - in inverted commas. Translations and fragmentary texts are - indicated by ‘tr.’ and ‘fr.’ respectively, and compositions - not properly to be classed as plays are also noted. Duplicate - titles which might cause confusion are distinguished by - dates or authorship. References to the main notices, in vol. - iii, pp. 201–518, and vol. iv, pp. 1–74, and occasionally - elsewhere, of plays belonging or conjecturally assigned to - the period 1558–1616 are printed in blacker type. Titles are - shortened by the omission of such words as ‘A’, ‘The’, ‘King’, - and cross-references are only given from the better-known - alternative titles. The index of _Persons_ gives those connected - with the Court and with stage affairs, other as a rule than the - players and playwrights, who are alphabetically arranged in - chh. xv and xxiii respectively. The index of _Places_ includes, - besides London localities, all those recorded in Appendix A as - visited by Elizabeth, but not, unless for some special reason, - those at which travelling players performed. In the index of - _Subjects_ inverted commas are used for technical terms and for - ordinary objects as represented on the stage. - - - - - INDEX I: OF PLAYS - - - A - - ‘A Bad Beginning Makes a Good Ending’, iii. 315; iv. 127, 180. - - A Woman is a Weathercock, iii. =313=. - - A Woman will have her Will. _See_ Englishmen for my Money. - - _Abraham_, iii. 322, 514. - - ‘Abraham and Lot’, ii. 95. - - _Abraham Sacrifiant_, i. 249; iii. 322. - - Abraham’s Sacrifice (tr.), iii. =322=. - - ‘Absalom’ (1602), ii. 228. - - Absalon (_c._ 1535), iii. 506; iv. 246. - - ‘Abuses’, iv. 33. - - ‘Adams Tragedie’, iv. =398=. - - Adelphe, i. 131; iv. 127. - - Adelphi (tr.), iii. =236=. - - Aegio (fr.), iii. =209=. - - ‘Aemilia’, i. 131. - - ‘Aeneas and Dido’, iv. 122. - - ‘Aesop’s Crow’, ii. 83. - - Agamemnon (tr.), iii. =477=. - - ‘Agamemnon’, ii. 169. - - ‘Agamemnon and Ulysses’, ii. 17, 101; iv. 101, 160. - - _Agarite_, iii. 16. - - ‘Ajax and Ulysses’, ii. 63; iv. 87, 146. - - ‘Ajax Flagellifer’, i. 130, 233. - - ‘Ajax Flagellifer’ (tr.), i. 127. - - Alaham, iii. =331=. - - Alarum for London, iv. =1=. - - ‘Alba’, i. 130. - - ‘Albere Galles’, ii. 227; iii. 341; iv. 37. - - Albion Knight (fr.), iv. =1=. - - Albumazar, i. 131; iii. =498=. - - Alchemist, iii. 123, 222, 224, =371=, 499; iv. 51, 127, 180, 371. - - ‘Alcmaeon’, ii. 15; iv. 89, 147. - - ‘Alexander and Lodowick’, ii. 144, 167, 170. - - Alexandraean Tragedy, iii. =209=. - - ‘Alexius’, iv. 2. - - ‘Alfonso’, iv. 2. - - Alice and Alexis (fr.), iv. =2=. - - ‘Alice Pierce’, ii. 132, 166. - - All Fools, iii. 146, =252=; iv. 119, 171. - - ‘All Fools but the Fool’. _See_ ‘The World Runs on Wheels’. - - All for Money, iii. 23, =411=. - - ‘All is not Gold that Glisters’, ii. 178. - - All is True. _See_ Henry VIII. - - All’s One. _See_ Yorkshire Tragedy. - - All’s Well that Ends Well, ii. 207; iii. =487=. - - Allot Pageant, iii. =455=. - - ‘Almanac’, ii. 190; iv. 125, 178. - - Alphonsus, Emperor of Germany, iv. =2=. - - Alphonsus, King of Arragon, ii. 286; iii. =327=; iv. 36. - - ‘_Alt Proculo_’, ii. 286. - - Althorp Entertainment, i. 126; iii. =391=. - - ‘Alucius’, ii. 35; iv. 97, 156. - - _Amantes Amentes_, ii. 285. - - Amends for Ladies, iii. 297, =313=. - - _Aminta_, ii. 262; iii. 317. - - _Amphitrio_, iii. 4, 5. - - ‘_Amphitryo_’, ii. 286; iii. 345. - - _Andria_, iii. 7. - - Andria (tr.

A._ give all three plays on Shrove Sunday, but Cunningham -has Shrove Monday for Warwick’s and omits Muncaster’s, which may have -been on the Tuesday, although two plays were sometimes given on the -same night. - -[791] The _D.

Acts have Chamberlain’s for Howard’s. - -[795] As two plays on one night are exceptional, it is safer to follow -the Revels Account. - -[796] The £10 payment has now become normal, but to the end of the -reign is stated, usually but not invariably, as made up of £6 13_s._ -4_d._ with a ‘more’ sum of £3 6_s._ 8_d._, by way of Her Majesty’s -‘rewarde’, ‘speciall rewarde’, or ‘further liberalitie and rewarde’. - -[797] The Pipe Office _D. A._ date Sunday, Jan. ‘firste’. Jan. 5 -was Sunday; the ‘fifte’ of A. O. (Wallace, i. 220) is right. - -[798] Presumably the Revels Accounts put this play on 4 Jan. in error. - -[799] The 27 Dec. of Revels Accounts is preferable. - -[800] P. C.

A -fragment on Temperance and Humility, conjecturally assigned by Collier, -i. 284, to the same play, is of earlier printing by thirty years or so -(<i>M.S.C.</i> i. 243).]</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_2">[2]</span></p> - -<p><i>Editions</i> by J.

Jones, <i>The Political Significance of A. K.</i> (1918, -<i>J. G. P.</i> xvii. 267).</p> - -<p>Collier suggests that this was the play disliked at court on 31 Dec. -1559, but, as Fleay, 66, points out, that would hardly have been -licensed for printing. Dodds thinks it motived by the Pilgrimage of -Grace (1536–7) and written shortly after.</p> - - -<h4><i>Alice and Alexis</i></h4> - -<p>A fragment (to iii. 1) of a play on the loves of Alice and Alexis, -thwarted by Tanto, with an argument of the whole, is in <i>Douce -MS.</i> 171 (<i>Bodl.</i> 21745), f. 48<sup>v</sup>. The date ‘1604’ is scribbled -amongst the pages. The manuscript also contains sixteenth-century -accounts. There seems nothing to connect this with Massinger’s -<i>Alexius, or the Chaste Lover</i>, licensed by Herbert on 25 Sept. -1639 and apparently included in Warburton’s list of burnt plays (3 -<i>Library</i>, ii. 232, 249).</p> - - -<h4><i>Alphonsus, Emperor of Germany > 1636</i></h4> - -<p><i>S. R.</i> 1653, Sept. 9. ‘A play called Alphonso, Emperor of -Germany, by John Poole.’ <i>H. Moseley</i> (Eyre, i. 428).</p> - -<p>1654. The Tragedy of Alphonsus Emperour of Germany. As it hath -been very often Acted (with great applause) at the Privat house in -Black-Friers by his late Maiesties Servants. By George Chapman Gent. -<i>For Humphrey Moseley.</i> [Epistle to the Reader. The B.M. copy of -the play is dated ‘Novemb. 29, 1653’.]</p> - -<p><i>Editions</i> by K. Elze (1867) and H. F. Schwarz (1913), and in -collections of Chapman (q.v.).</p> - -<p><i>Alphonsus</i> may reasonably be identified with the <i>Alfonso</i> -given before the Queen and the Elector Palatine at the Blackfriars on -5 May 1636 (Cunningham, xxiv). The ascription on the title-page to -Chapman is repeated therefrom by Langbaine who rejects that of Kirkman -in 1661 and 1671 (Greg, <i>Masques</i>, xlviii) to Peele, but the -intimate knowledge of German shown in the dialogue has led Elze and -Ward, ii. 428, to give Chapman a German collaborator, conceivably one -Rudolf Weckerlin of Würtemberg, who after a preliminary visit before -1614 settled permanently in England about 1624 and obtained political -employment, which he varied with literary exercises. Later critics -are inclined to reject Chapman’s authorship altogether, and the case -against it has been effectively put by E. Koeppel, <i>Quellen-Studien -zu den Dramen Chapman’s</i>, 78, and Parrott. The ascription to -Peele has been revived by Robertson, <i>T. A.</i> 123, and though -Parrott does not accept the full argument, he agrees in regarding -the play as originally of Peele’s date, possibly by him, with or -without a collaborator, and drastically revised at a later period, -perhaps by Weckerlin in 1636. Fleay, ii. 156, 311, also accepts Peele -and identifies the play with <i>Harry of Cornwall</i>,<span class="pagenum" id="Page_3">[3]</span> revived by -Strange’s for Henslowe on 25 Feb. 1592, but, as Greg (<i>Henslowe</i>, -ii. 151) points out, the character in <i>Alphonsus</i> is not Henry, -but Richard of Cornwall. It must be observed that no critic has noticed -the <i>S. R.</i> ascription to John Poole, which may quite well be the -origin of Kirkman’s ‘Peele’. Who John Poole was, I do not know.</p> - - -<h4><i>Apius and Virginia > 1567–8</i></h4> - -<p><i>S. R.</i> 1567–8. ‘A Tragedy of Apius and Virgine.’ <i>Richard -Jones</i> (Arber, i. 357).</p> - -<p>1575. A new Tragicall Comedie of Apius and Virginia, Wherein is liuely -expressed a rare example of the vertue of Chastitie, by Virginias -constancy, in wishing rather to be slaine at her owne Fathers handes, -then to be deflowred of the wicked Iudge Apius. By R. B. <i>William How -for Richard Jones.</i> [Prologue and Epilogue.]</p> - -<p><i>Editions</i> in Dodsley<sup>3, 4</sup> (1825–76), and by J. S. Farmer (1908, -<i>T. F. T.</i>) and R. B. McKerrow (1911, <i>M. S. R.</i>).</p> - -<p>‘Haphazard, the Vice’ is a character. The stage-directions name ‘the -stage’, ‘the scaffold’. A prologue addresses ‘lordings’; an epilogue -has a prayer for the queen, nobles, and commons. The play is not -controversial, but the tone is Protestant. Fleay, 61, thinks it a -Westminster play of 1563–4; but no Westminster play of 1563–4 is on -record. If Fleay means 1564–5, the Westminster play of that Christmas -was <i>Miles Gloriosus</i>. There is nothing but the initials to -identify the author with Richard Bower of the Chapel (q.v.), but -the suggestion is more plausible than that of Wallace, i. 108, who -gives the play to Richard Edwardes (q.v.), finding that the ‘R. E.’ -subscribed to some of his manuscript poems is capable of being misread -‘R. B.’.</p> - - -<h4><i>Arden of Feversham > 1592</i></h4> - -<p><i>S.

Cant.</i> xxxiv. 101).</p> - -<p>Jacob first claimed the authorship for Shakespeare. In spite of the -advocacy of Swinburne (<i>Study of Sh.</i>, 129) modern criticism -remains wholly unconvinced. The play has tragic merit, but it is not -of a Shakespearian character, and it is impossible to fit its manner, -before 1592, into any coherent theory of Shakespeare’s development. -More plausible is the case for Kyd, suggested by Fleay, ii. 28, who -puts the date as far back as 1585 on quite unreliable grounds of -improbable guess-work, and supported by Robertson, <i>T. A.</i> 151, -and elaborately argued by Crawford and Sykes. But Boas, <i>Kyd</i>, -lxxxix, thinks that the author was more likely an imitator of Kyd, and -opinion remains divided. Oliphant (<i>M. P.</i> viii. 420) suggests Kyd -and Marlowe, possibly with a third. The theme may also have been that -of the <i>Murderous Michael</i> played at court by Sussex’s in 1579.</p> - - -<h4><i>The Birth of Hercules. 1597 <</i></h4> - -<p>[<i>MS.</i>] <i>B.M. Add.

The theory was advocated by Capell, and -has received much support, largely owing to the assent of Tennyson, -against whose authority, however, may be set that of Swinburne. In its -latest and not altogether unplausible form, Shakespeare is regarded -as the author, not of the whole play, but of i. 2 and ii, which deal -with the episode of the wooing of Lady Salisbury by the king, and are -possibly, although by no means certainly, due to another hand than that -of the chronicle narrative, to which they are only slightly linked. -The style of these scenes is not demonstrably un-Shakespearian, and -they, and in less degree the play as a whole, contain many parallels -with <i>Hen.

Greg (Henslowe, ii. 173) more cautiously says that the play -of 1594 ‘may underlie’ certain scenes of <i>1 Edward iv</i>. He -regards <i>Edward iv</i>, ‘on internal evidence, as unquestionably -Heywood’s’. This is the usual view, but Fleay, ii. 288, had doubted -it. There is no external evidence for Heywood’s authorship, or for -any connexion between him and Derby’s men. Moreover, in May 1603, he -authorized Henslowe, on behalf of Worcester’s, to pay Chettle and Day -for ‘the Booke of Shoare, now newly to be written’, also described -as ‘a playe wherein Shores wiffe is writen’. If this was a revision -of his own<span class="pagenum" id="Page_11">[11]</span> play, he would hardly have left it to others. It is fair -to add that in the previous January he had himself received payment -with Chettle for an unnamed play, which might be the same (Henslowe, -ii. 234). The ‘three-mans song’ on Agincourt in iii. 2 of Part I -closely resembles Drayton’s <i>Ballad of Agincourt</i> (ed. Brett, -81), and must, I think, be his. <i>Jane Shore</i> is mentioned as a -play visited by citizens in <i>The Knight of the Burning Pestle</i> -(1607), ind. 57, and ‘the well-frequented play of Shore’ in <i>Pimlyco -or Runne Redcap</i> (1609).

Lohr, <i>Le Printemps d’Yver und die -Quelle zu F. E.</i> (1912).</p> - -<p>The play has a double plot. One theme is the contest of William the -Conqueror and the Marquess Lubeck for the loves of Princess Blanch of -Denmark and of Mariana, a Swedish captive; the other is the contest -of Manvile, Mountney and Valingford for Em, daughter of the Miller of -Manchester. A ‘ballad intituled The Miller’s daughter of Manchester’ -was entered on the Stationers’ Register by Henry Carr on 2 March 1581 -(Arber, ii. 390). <i>Fair Em</i> has been included<span class="pagenum" id="Page_12">[12]</span> in the Shakespeare -<i>Apocrypha</i> on the strength of a volume formerly in the collection -of Charles II, and then in that of Garrick, in which it was bound -up with <i>Mucedorus</i> and <i>The Merry Devil of Edmonton</i> and -lettered ‘Shakespeare, vol. i’. On the other hand, Edward Phillips, in -his <i>Theatrum Poetarum</i> (1675), assigned it to Greene. Clearly -Greene is not the author, although there are certain resemblances of -situation between the play and <i>Friar Bacon</i>; for he satirizes it -in the preface to <i>Farewell to Folly</i> (<i>Works</i>, ix. 232), -quoting one or two of its expressions and blaming them as borrowed out -of Scripture. Of the author he says, ‘He that cannot write true English -without the help of clerks of parish churches will needs make himself -the father of interludes’, and, ‘The sexton of St. Giles without -Cripplegate would have been ashamed of such blasphemous rhetoric’. -<i>Farewell to Folly</i> seems to have appeared in 1591 (cf. s.v. -Greene), and <i>Fair Em</i> may perhaps therefore be dated between -this pamphlet and <i>Friar Bacon</i> (<i>c.</i> 1589). Simpson adopts -the theory, which hardly deserves serious discussion, of Shakespeare’s -authorship. He finds numerous (but impossible) attacks by Greene upon -Shakespeare from the <i>Planetomachia</i> (1585) onwards, and thinks -that Shakespeare retorted in <i>Fair Em</i>, satirizing Greene as -Manvile and Marlowe as Mountney, and depicting himself as Valingford. -‘Fair Em’ herself is the Manchester stage. In the story of William the -Conqueror he finds an allusion to the travels of William Kempe and -other actors in Denmark and Saxony. Fleay, <i>Shakespeare Manual</i> -(1878), 281, adopts much of this fantasy, but turns ‘Fair Em’ into the -Queen’s company and Valingford into Peele. In 1891 (ii. 282) he makes -‘Fair Em’ Strange’s company. His minor identifications, whether of 1878 -or of 1891, may be disregarded. More plausible is his suggestion that -the author of the play may be Robert Wilson (q.v.), which would explain -the attack upon Greene (q.v.) for his <i>Farewell to Folly</i> in R. -W.’s <i>Martin Mar-sixtus</i> (1591). The suggestion that the play -was the <i>Sir John Mandeville</i> revived by Strange’s for Henslowe -in 1592 rests on a confusion between Mandeville and Manvile, but it -may have been the <i>William the Conqueror</i> similarly revived by -Sussex’s on 4 Jan. 1594 (Greg, <i>Henslowe</i>, ii. 151, 158).</p> - - -<h4><i>The Fair Maid of Bristow > 1604</i></h4> - -<p><i>S.

This praise of the ‘conueiance’ (which -I take to mean either ‘style’ or possibly ‘translation’) does not -suggest that M. A. (or A. M.) was the translator. It is true that -ll. 224–41 appear in <i>England’s Helicon</i> (1600) signed ‘Shep. -Tonie’, and that this signature is often taken to indicate Munday. On -the other hand, two lines of this passage also appear in <i>England’s -Parnassus</i> (1600, ed. Crawford, 306) over the initials S. G., which -suggest Gosson. Another passage in <i>E.

I do not think the suggestion very -convincing, in view of the inconsistency and general unreliability of -<i>E.

The evidence is quite indecisive, -but of Munday, Chapman, Gosson, I incline to think Gosson the most -likely candidate. On the other hand, if M.

Fleay, ii. 322, suggests -Chapman himself. This view receives elaborate support from Parrott, and -appears very plausible. As ‘your greatest gallants, for men, in France -were here lately’ (<span class="allsmcap">III.</span> i. 47) the date is after the visit of -Biron in Sept. 1601 and possibly after that of Nevers in April 1602. -It cannot be later than the beginning of 1603, as ‘She is the best -scholar of any woman, but one, in Europe’ (<span class="allsmcap">I.</span> i. 140) points -to Elizabeth’s lifetime. Moreover, Dekker, in his <i>Wonderful Year</i> -of<span class="pagenum" id="Page_16">[16]</span> 1603 (Grosart, i. 116), has ‘Galen could do no more good, than Sir -Giles Goosecap’, and though ‘goosecap’ is a known term for a booby, -e.g. in Nashe’s <i>Four Letters Confuted</i> of 1592 (<i>Works</i>, -i. 281), the play seems to be responsible for the ‘Sir Giles’. The -phrase ‘comparisons odorous’ in <span class="allsmcap">IV.</span> ii. 64 echoes <i>Much -Ado</i>, <span class="allsmcap">III.</span> v. 18. The later part of the period 1601–3 would -perhaps best fit the allusions to the Family of Love (<span class="allsmcap">II.</span> i. -263), as to which cf. s.v. Middleton’s play of that name, and to the -baboons (<span class="allsmcap">I.</span> i. 11), the memory of which is still alive in -<i>Volpone</i> (1606) and <i>Ram Alley</i> (1607–8). Probably these -had already amused London before 1605, as on Oct. 5 of that year the -Norwich records (Murray, ii. 338) note that ‘This day John Watson -ironmonger brought the Kyngs maiesties warrant graunted to Roger -Lawrence & the deputacion to the seid Watson to shewe two beasts called -Babonnes’. So, too, Kelly, 247, has a Leicester payment of 1606 ‘to the -M<sup>r</sup> of the Babons, lycensed to travell by the Kings warrant’. There -is a story of a country fellow who wanted to go to a market town ‘to -haue seene the Baboones’ as late as J. Taylor’s <i>Wit and Mirth</i> in -1629 (Hazlitt, <i>Jest Books</i>, iii. 43).

Hoppe, -<i>Histriomastix-Studien</i> (1906, Breslau diss.).</p> - -<p>Fleay, ii. 69, gives the whole play to Marston, but the sounder view -of Simpson that Marston, whose style in places is unmistakable, was -only the reviser of an earlier play, is revived in the elaborate and -mainly satisfactory study of Small, 67. The passages assigned by Small -to Marston are ii. 63–9, 128–9, 247–79; iii. 179–v. 191; v. 234; vi. -259–95. I should be inclined to add v. 244–67, but to omit ii. 128–9; -iii. 218–64; iv. 159–201; v. 61–102; v. 147–180; vi. 259–95, which may -just as well belong to the original play. No doubt vi. 259–95 is an -addition, constituting an alternative ending for a court performance -before Elizabeth; but this may just as well have been a contemporary -as a Marstonian addition, and in fact there is no court performance at -the end of the century available for it, while the attempt to find one -led Fleay to the impossible theory that it was given by Derby’s men. -As its whole substance is a satire on professional players, it must -have been both produced and revived by amateurs or boys; and the same -conclusion is pointed to by the<span class="pagenum" id="Page_18">[18]</span> enormous number of characters. The -original matter is so full of the technical learning of the schools -as to suggest an academic audience; I think it was a University or -possibly an Inns of Court, not a choirboy, play. The theme is the -cyclical progression of a state through the stages Peace, Plenty, -Pride, Envy, War, Poverty, and Peace again. It is illustrated by the -fortunes of a company of players, who wax insolent in prosperity, and -when war comes, are pressed for soldiers. Their poet Posthaste is -clearly Munday and not, as Simpson and others have vainly imagined, -Shakespeare. With him is contrasted the scholar-poet, Chrisoganus, a -philosopher with whom the players will have nothing to do. He seems to -belong to the order of ideas connected with the scientific school of -Thomas Harriott. Small thinks that the date was 1596, when there was -scarcity of food, a persecution of players, and a pressing of men for -service against Spain; and that the author might be Chapman. Certainly -Chapman was an early admirer of Harriott. But I disagree as to the -date. The style seems to me to be that of Peele or some imitator, -the attitude to the players an academic reflection of the attacks of -Greene, and the political atmosphere that of the years following the -Armada, when the relief of peace was certainly not unbroken by fears of -renewed Spanish attempts. Impressment was not a device of 1596 alone. -The only notice of it known to me in which players are known to have -especially suffered is in an undated letter of Philip Gawdy, assigned -by his editor to 1602 (Gawdy, 121), ‘All the playe howses wer besett -in one daye and very many pressed from thence, so that in all ther ar -pressed ffowre thowsand besydes fyve hundred voluntaryes, and all for -flaunders’. This is too late for the <i>proto-Histriomastix</i>, and -probably also for the revival, but men were being pressed for foreign -service as early as 1585, and again in 1588 and possibly in 1589 and -1591 (Cheyney, i. 158, 197, 219, 255; <i>Procl.</i> 805, 809). As to -the revival, Small puts it definitely in August 1599, when a scare of -a Spanish invasion, which had lasted for a month, came to a crisis -in London on Aug. 7 (Stowe, <i>Annales</i>, 788; Chamberlain, 59; -<i>Sydney Papers</i>, ii. 113; <i>Hist. MSS.</i> xv, app. v, 66), and -he thinks that the words ‘The Spaniards are come!’ (v. 234) are an -insertion of this date. They are not ‘extra-metrical’, as Fleay says, -for the passage is not in metre. There had, however, been earlier -scares, e.g. in Oct. 1595 (<i>Sydney Papers</i>, i. 355; cf. Arber, -iii. 55, 56) and in Oct. 1597 (<i>Edmondes Papers</i>, 303). The -date of 1599 would agree well enough with the career of Marston, and -with that of the Paul’s boys, to whom the revival was probably due, -although I do not agree with Small that it was their court play of 1 -Jan. 1601, because I see no evidence that the court ending belongs -to the revision. I take it that <i>Histriomastix</i> was one of the -‘musty fopperies of antiquity’ with which we learn from <i>Jack Drum’s -Entertainment</i>, v. 112, that the Paul’s boys began. The revision -leaves Posthaste untouched, save for the characteristic Marstonian -sneer of ‘goosequillian’ (iii. 187). Munday of course was still good -sport in 1599. But Chrisoganus is turned from a scientific into a -‘translating’ scholar (ii. 63). I agree with Small<span class="pagenum" id="Page_19">[19]</span> that Marston has -given him Jonsonian traits, and that he intended to be complimentary -rather than the reverse. I do not know that it is necessary to suppose -that Jonson misunderstood this and took offence, for the real offence -was given by <i>Jack Drum’s Entertainment</i> in the next year. But -certainly some of the ‘fustian’ words put in the mouth of Clove in -<i>Every Man Out of His Humour</i>, <span class="allsmcap">III.</span> i. 177 sqq., later in -1599 come from <i>Histriomastix</i>, and their origin is pointed by the -phrase ‘as you may read in Plato’s Histriomastix’. One of the fragments -of plays recited by the players contains the lines (ii. 269):</p> - - <div class="poetry-container"> - <div class="poetry"> - <div class="stanza"> - <div>Come Cressida, my Cresset light,</div> - <div>Thy face doth shine both day and night;</div> - <div>Behold behold thy garter blue</div> - <div>Thy knight his valiant elbow wears,</div> - <div>That when he shakes his furious Speare</div> - <div>The foe in shivering fearful sort</div> - <div>May lay him down in death to snort.</div> - </div> - </div> - </div> - -<p class="p-left">I am not convinced with Small that this belongs to the revision, even -though it seems discontinuous with the following fragment of a Prodigal -Child play. But in any case the hit at Shakespeare, if there really -is one, remains unexplained. There is nothing else which points to so -early a date as 1599 for his <i>Troilus and Cressida</i>.

The play was clearly regarded as distinct from -that of Shakespeare, which was entered to N. Butter and J.

It seems a little improbable that <i>Leire</i> -should have been revived as late as 1605, and the ‘Tragecall’ and -‘lately acted’ of the title-page, taken by themselves, would point to -an attempt by Stafford to palm off the old play as Shakespeare’s.

R. As to the original author, one is bound to be sceptical of the -unconfirmed notice by J. P. Collier (<i>Bibliographical Account</i>, i. -95) of an ‘inscription on an existing copy of the play ... assigning -the authorship of it to Charles Tylney’. This, says Collier, ‘is the -handwriting of Sir George Buck. He adds the information that he himself -had written the dumb shows by which it was illustrated, and that it -was originally called <i>Elstrild</i>’. Charles Tilney was a cousin -of the Master of the Revels, and was executed for complicity in the -Babington plot in 1586 (Camden, <i>transl.</i> 303). The statement, -if true, would give an early date to the play, which the dumb shows -and other ‘Senecan’ characteristics have been supposed to confirm. -Fleay, ii. 321, boldly conjectures that the epilogue originally -referred to ‘eight and twentie yeares’, and that the play was ‘by’ -in the sense of ‘about’, Tilney, supposing the moral drawn against -‘ciuill discord’ instigated by ‘priuate amours’ to point at Mary of -Scots. Recent investigations, however, concerning the relations of the -play to Spenser on the one hand, and to <i>Selimus</i> (q.v.) on the -other, suggest a date not earlier and not much later than 1591, either -for the original composition of the play, or for a very substantial -revision of it. Most of the points are well summed up by Cunliffe in -<i>C. H.</i> v. 84. <i>Locrine</i> may borrow historical facts from -the <i>Faerie Queene</i> (1590); it does not borrow phrases from it. -It does, however, borrow phrases and whole lines, with more than -Elizabethan plagiarism, from Spenser’s <i>Complaints</i> (1591). There -is also an apparent loan from Wilmot’s <i>Tancred and Gismund</i> -(1591). Some of the <i>Complaints</i> passages are also borrowed by -<i>Selimus</i>, which makes similar booty both of <i>Locrine</i> -itself and of the <i>Faerie Queene</i>. I agree with Cunliffe that -the evidence is clearly in favour of <i>Selimus</i> being the later -of the two plays, but am not so certain that the second borrowing of -the <i>Complaints</i> passages tells against a common authorship of -the two. It would be so, ordinarily, but here we have to do with an -abnormal plagiarist. Whoever the author, he belongs to the school of -the university wits.

There is nothing to suggest that the play was ever -performed at court at all. It seems more natural to look for him, -either in the Thomas Richards or in the Laurence Barjona of the MS. -Conceivably Richards might be the T. R. whose initials appear on -the prints of <i>Impatient Poverty</i> and <i>Nice Wanton</i> (cf. -<i>Mediaeval Stage</i>, ii. 460) in 1560. Barjona might be the name of -a converted Jew. But Kittredge regards it as an anagram of Johnson, -and points out that a Laurence Johnson matriculated at Christ’s -College, Cambridge, in 1570, and took his B.A. in 1574 and his M.A. in -1577, while a Thomas Richards of Trinity took his B.A. in 1571, and -a Thomas Ward of Jesus in 1580. A reference to Cambridge<span class="pagenum" id="Page_32">[32]</span> learning -(<span class="allsmcap">III.</span> iii. 74) does not, of course, go far to prove Cambridge -authorship. Anyway, the Barjona of the title-page is probably the -‘Laur. Bariona’ who signed, also from Kettering, the epistle to a -book called <i>Cometographia</i> on 20 Jan. 1579. It is the work of -an Anglican; not therefore of the Laurence Johnson, who was an Oxford -Jesuit. I can add a few facts. A Laurence Jonson, with one Chr. Balam -and George Haysyll of Cambridge, made a complaint through Lord North to -the queen against the Bishop of Ely in Dec. 1575 (<i>S. P. D. Eliz.</i> -cv. 88). This is interesting, because George Haysell of Wisbech was -apparently one of Worcester’s players (cf. ch. xiii) in 1583. There -is also a Laurence Johnson who on 12 June 1572 wrote to Lord Burghley -about his service in the Mint (<i>S. P. D. Eliz.</i> lxxxviii. 17); -possibly the same of whom Burghley wrote to his ‘brother’ William -Herlle on 3 April 1575, that he could do nothing for him (<i>S. P. D. -Eliz.</i> ciii. 24). Finally a Laurence Johnson engraved plates in 1603 -(<i>D. N. B.</i>).</p> - - -<h4><i>Sir Thomas More c. 1596</i></h4> - -<p>[<i>MS.</i>] <i>B.M. Harleian MS.</i> 7368.

Two passages of the -original text have disappeared, and six passages have been inserted, -on fresh leaves or slips, to replace these and other cancelled matter. -One of these leaves appears to have been misplaced. Greg finds seven -distinct hands: (<i>a</i>) the writer of the original text, whom he -has now identified (<i>M. L.

Goodal, an -actor traceable with Berkeley’s men in 1581 and with the Admiral’s -or Strange’s in the plot of <i>The Seven Deadly Sins</i>, <i>c.</i> -1590–1. But Goodal may have acted much longer, and the Admiral’s men -had business relations with a ‘Father Ogell’ in Feb. 1600 (Greg, -<i>Henslowe</i>, ii. 300). Greg, after comparing Munday’s script in the -play with other and better datable examples of that script, inclines to -put it ‘between 1596 and 1602, say 1598–1600’, and Sir E. M. Thompson, -on a further review of the same evidence, suggests 1592 or 1593. -This, however, involves putting the MS. of <i>John a Kent and John a -Cumber</i> (cf. ch. xxiii, s.v. Munday) back to 1590, which, although -palaeographically possible, is inconsistent with evidence pointing -to its production by the Admiral’s in 1594. Certain parallels with -<i>Julius Caesar</i> and <i>Hamlet</i> might suggest the latter part -of the possible period, although the parallel suggested by Schücking -with Fletcher’s <i>The Tamer Tamed</i> is too slight to bear out his -date of 1605–8, and the attempt of Fleay (ii. 312; <i>Shakespeare</i>, -292) to identify the play with the <i>Abuses</i> of Paul’s in 1606 is -guess-work. Jonson’s apparent debt to <i>S. T. M.</i> in <i>Bartholomew -Fair</i>, pointed out by Baskervill, is also in favour of a latish -date. Obviously the mention of ‘Mason among the Kings players’ (l. -1151) does not prove a Jacobean date, as Henry VIII had players. No -actor of the name in either reign is known, although an Alexander Mason -was marshal of the royal minstrels in 1494 (Collier, i. 45). Account -must be taken of the support given by Sir E. M. Thompson to the theory -of R. Simpson and Spedding that three of the added pages are in the -hand of Shakespeare. This is based on a minute comparison with the -few undoubted fragments, almost entirely signatures, of Shakespeare’s -writing. Both hands use ‘the native English script’ and are ‘of an -ordinary type’, without marked individual character ‘to any great -extent’, although slight peculiarities, such as ‘the use of the fine -upstroke as an ornamental adjunct to certain letters’, are<span class="pagenum" id="Page_34">[34]</span> common to -them. The demonstration would have been more convincing had the hands -been less ‘ordinary’, but Sir E. M. Thompson’s authority is great, -and some support is furnished by P. Simpson from the character of the -punctuation in the addition, and by J. D. Wilson from some orthographic -resemblances to the more reliable Shakespearian quartos. Sir E. M. -Thompson’s views are criticized in G. Greenwood, <i>Shakespeare’s -Handwriting</i> (1920). If Shakespeare was the author, the analogies -between the matter of the addition and the Jack Cade scenes of <i>Henry -VI</i> would be in favour of an earlier date, if that were possible, -than 1596 or even 1594, although I should not like to be committed to -the view that Shakespeare might not have scribbled the fragment at -any time in the sixteenth century. On a balance of the mixed literary -and palaeographical evidence before us, the safest guess seems to be -1596. As to the rest of the authorship, Dr. Greg’s discoveries point -to Munday, with some help from Dekker. Fleay’s argument (<i>Sh.</i> -292) for Lodge and Drayton is flimsy. If Shakespeare had a share, the -company was probably the Chamberlain’s. Goodal’s name proves nothing as -to this.</p> - - -<h4><i>Mucedorus > 1598; 1611</i></h4> - -<p>1598.

The conjecture of Fleay (ii. -50; <i>Shakespeare</i>, 303) that the additions date from 1606 was -largely based on a guess that they appeared in the Q. of 1606, which -he had not seen.

But a careful reading of the passage -will show that it is no apology at all, but a boast, and an attack upon -informers against the stage.</p> - -<p>As the play had been in print since 1598, it must not be assumed -that, because the King’s revived it in 1610–11, it was originally a -Chamberlain’s play. It may have belonged to the Queen’s or some other -extinct company. Evidently it was a popular play, as the number of -editions shows. <i>K. B. P.</i> ind. 91 tells us that Ralph has ‘play’d -... Musidorus before the Wardens of our Company’.</p> - -<p>The ascription to Shakespeare is due to Archer’s list of 1656 (Greg, -<i>Masques</i>, xci) and to the inclusion of the play with <i>Fair -Em</i> and <i>The Merry Devil of Edmonton</i> in a volume in Charles -II’s library, lettered ‘Shakespeare, vol. i’ (<i>Variorum</i>, ii. -682). It now receives little support, even as regards the added -passages. Greene is preferred as the original author by Malone and -Hopkinson, Peele by von Friesen, and Lodge by Fleay.</p> - -<p>After the suppression of the theatres in 1642, <i>Mucedorus</i> was -acted by strolling players in various parts of Oxfordshire. An accident -during a performance at Witney on 3 Feb. 1654 is recorded in John Rowe, -<i>Tragi-Comoedia.

There is a reference to the unwilling -recipients of knighthood (l. 325), and the use of Essex’s nickname -for Cobham, Sycophant, as the name of a courtier, must be later than -Cobham’s disgrace in 1603. Simpson thought that an allusion to the -misuse of the collections for rebuilding Paul’s steeple (l. 754) -pointed to an original date <i>c.</i> 1592, when the matter caused a -scandal, but the steeple was still unbuilt in James’s reign. Greg, -<i>Henslowe</i>, ii. 230, revising a conjecture of Fleay, i. 293, -suggests that <i>Albere Galles</i>, written by Heywood and Smith for -Worcester’s in Sept. 1602, may be this play, and Henslowe’s title a -mistake for <i>Archigallo</i>, one of the characters. The play seems to -have reached Germany by 1608. A performance at Graz in that year was -probably the occasion of the dedication by ‘Joannes Grün Nob.

The <i>Epigrams</i> (1599) of ‘one -Weaver fellow’, i.e. John Weever, are alluded to (982). The prologue to -3, also a ‘Christenmas toy’ (30), calls it ‘an old musty show, that<span class="pagenum" id="Page_39">[39]</span> -hath laine this twelue moneth in the bottome of a coalehouse’ (25). -‘The Authors wit’ (48) has stood ‘hammering upon ... 2 schollers some -foure (1606, whole) yeare’ (37).

These indications fit Jan. -1602 (Lühr, 15, 105). The siege of Ostend, which extended from 1601 to -1604, has begun (1333). Jonson has ‘brought vp Horace giving the Poets -a pill’ (1811), and Kempe is back ‘from dancing the morrice over the -Alpes’ (1823). Both events took place in 1601. It is still Elizabeth’s -reign (1141).</p> - -<p>A quite clear conclusion as to date is not possible. The calendar -references, the four years of hammering (in 3), and the probability -that the writer would try to have his allusions to literary events up -to date, suggest performances at the Christmases of 1598–9, 1599–1600, -and 1601–2. This allows for a twelve-months’ delay, followed by a good -deal of revision, in the performance of 3. On the other hand, the -difference between four (in 1) and seven (in 2) years of pilgrimage -points to 1598–9, 1601–2, and 1602–3. On the whole, I lean to the first -alternative.</p> - -<p>So far as we know, the association of Kempe with the Chamberlain’s men -was out of date either in 1601 or 1602; conceivably he returned to the -company for a while in 1601, but he was certainly of Worcester’s in -1602.</p> - -<p>Moore Smith thinks that the ‘ruder quill’ of the prologue to 3 implies -that the author of 2 and 3 was distinct from the author of 1. But the -same prologue speaks clearly of a single author. Hales took the account -of his troubles in getting his degree literally, and pointed out that -foreign students at German universities were called ‘Käsebettler’ -and ‘Käsejäger’. Moore Smith doubts, and thinks the degree may have -been given at Cambridge by the influence of William Holland, senior -fellow of St. John’s, and his name glanced at in ‘Germanie’. The -absence alike of matriculation books and college admission registers -for the period makes identification difficult. Corney found a copy of -the print of 3 with the inscription ‘To my Lovinge Smallocke J. D.’, -which he thought in the same hand as the <i>Lansdowne MS.</i> of John -Day’s <i>Peregrinatio Scholastica</i>. Bullen was inclined to support -Day’s authorship on internal grounds, but Day was a Caius man, whose -university career closed in disgrace, and is not very likely to have -written plays for St. John’s some years later. And it is but a slight -connexion with Cheshire that ‘dey’ means ‘dairy’ in the dialect of that -county. Cheshire ought to be our clue. Charles Chester was not, so far -as I know, a writer. Hales seems to have thought<span class="pagenum" id="Page_40">[40]</span> that the theatrical -Beestons of London may have been connected with the Cheshire family of -that name. There was a Cheshire foundation at St. John’s, and Moore -Smith cites a suggestion that the author may have been William Dodd, a -Cheshire man, who became Scholar of St. John’s in 1597, B.A. in 1599, -and Fellow in 1602. The ‘priviledge’ reminds me of the traditional -jurisdiction of the Dutton family over minstrelsy in Cheshire -(<i>Mediaeval Stage</i>, ii. 259), but I do not know whether any Dutton -can be traced at St. John’s.</p> - -<p>In i. 2 of 3 Judicio is exercising the occupation of a ‘corrector -of the presse’, apparently in the employment of a particular -printing-house, not of the licensing authorities. The house would be -Danter’s, who is himself introduced in i. 3 bargaining with Ingenioso -to give him 40s. for a pamphlet. In iv. 3 Burbage and Kempe appear, and -here is the famous passage in which Kempe says:</p> - -<div class="blockquot"> - -<p>‘Few of the vniuersity men pen plaies well, they smell -too much of that writer <i>Ouid</i>, and that writer -<i>Metamorphosis</i>, and talke too much of <i>Proserpina & -Iuppiter</i>. Why heres our fellow <i>Shakespeare</i> puts them -all downe, I and <i>Ben Ionson</i> too. O that <i>Ben Ionson</i> -is a pestilent fellow, he brought vp Horace giuing the Poets a -pill, but our fellow <i>Shakespeare</i> hath giuen him a purge -that made him beray his credit.’</p> -</div> - -<p>Fleay, <i>Shakespeare</i>, 221, suggests that the ‘purge’ was the -description of Ajax in <i>Troilus and Cressida</i>, <span class="allsmcap">I.</span> ii. -15, and is supported by Small, 167. If so, it was very irrelevant to -its setting. The purge ought to be <i>Satiromastix</i>, and though -there is nothing to indicate that Shakespeare had any responsibility -for <i>Satiromastix</i>, it is just conceivable that a Cambridge -man, writing before the play was assigned to Dekker in print, may -have thought that he had. The allusion is clearly to Shakespeare as -a writer, or one might have thought that he acted Horace-Jonson in -<i>Satiromastix</i>.</p> - -<p>Especially in 3, the writer is much occupied with contemporary -literature, but this does not justify the slap-dash attempt of Fleay, -ii. 347, to identify nearly all his characters with individual literary -men. They are, of course, not individuals, but types, and types -of university men. The most that can be said is that there may be -something of Marston in Furor Poeticus, and a good deal of Nashe, with -probably also a little of Greene, in Ingenioso, who ultimately takes -flight, with Furor and Phantasma, to the Isle of Dogs (v. 3, 4):</p> - - <div class="poetry-container"> - <div class="poetry"> - <div class="stanza"> - <div>There where the blattant beast doth rule and raigne</div> - <div>Renting the credit of whom ere he please.</div> - </div> - </div> - </div> - - -<h4><i>Il Pastor Fido > 1601</i></h4> - -<p><i>S.

The character George Pyeboard -is clearly meant for Peele, and the play uses episodes which appear in -<i>The Merrie Conceited Jests of George Peele Gent</i>. This, though -the extant print is of 1607, was entered in S. R. on 14 Dec. 1605. The -Paul’s plays seem to have terminated in 1606, and Fleay points out that -an almanac allusion in <span class="allsmcap">III.</span> vi. 289 is to Tuesday, 15 July, -which fits 1606.

My difficulty -about this is that the relation of <i>1 Rich.

Here Goffe’s name has been cancelled, and two successive -correctors have substituted, firstly, ‘George Chapman’, and then ‘By -Will Shakspear’.

Six passages from the play are assigned to Greene in -R[obert] A[llot’s] <i>England’s Parnassus</i> (1600).

Presumably it belonged to the Chamberlain’s, -who had acquired it from Pembroke’s, and the 1594 performance may have -been either of the original, or of Shakespeare’s revision, <i>The -Taming of The Shrew</i>, for which 1594 is a plausible date. An early -reference to the printed book is in Harington’s <i>Metamorphosis of -Ajax</i> (1596), 95, ‘For the shrewd wife, read the book of Taming -a Shrew, which hath made a number of us so perfect, that now every -one can rule a shrew in our country, save he that hath her’. It is -to be noted that, unlike <i>Leire</i> (q.v.) and <i>King Lear</i>, -the two versions counted, from the copyright point of view, as one, -so that the transfer of <i>A Shrew</i> to Smethwick made an entry of -<i>The Shrew</i> in S. R. for the purposes of F<sub>1</sub> of Shakespeare -unnecessary. Probably Pembroke’s in their turn got the play from -the earlier Admiral’s or Strange’s. Its date has been placed in or -before 1589, because certain lines of it appear to be parodied both in -Greene’s <i>Menaphon</i> of that year, and in the prefatory epistle to -<i>Menaphon</i> by Nashe. Some such date is confirmed by its direct -imitations from Marlowe’s <i>Tamburlaine</i> (<i>c.</i> 1587) and to -a less extent from <i>Dr. Faustus</i> (<i>c.</i> 1588), which are -collected by Boas, 93. For author, Marlowe, Kyd, Greene, and Peele have -all been suggested, but, so far as we know, Marlowe did not repeat -himself, and the others did not plagiarize him, in this flagrant -manner.

Brereton ascribes it to Greene himself; Hatcher -thinks that the direct plagiarisms from the source and the archaistic -phrase ‘old Menaphon’ (iv. 2), whereas Greene’s hero is a youth, point -to an early sixteenth-century admirer of Greene. Adams supports the -suggestion of Fleay, i. 287, that this is the <i>War Without Blows and -Love Without Suit</i> written by Heywood for the Admiral’s in 1598, but -this is a mere guess based on Heywood’s title (Greg, <i>Henslowe</i>, -ii. 199). Fleay then supposed that it was revised for Queen Anne’s -about 1607; elsewhere (ii. 332) he supposes it a dramatization of -Webster’s story for Prince Charles’s about 1617.</p> - - -<h4><i>Timon c. 1581 < > 90</i> (?)</h4> - -<p>[<i>MS.</i>] <i>Dyce MS.</i> 52.

No connexion is traceable -between this and the extant play, which Greg and Boas regard as of -Cambridge origin. But it does not seem to me markedly academic. The -character Lelia does not particularly suggest the Cambridge Latin -<i>Laelia</i> of 1595, and the epilogue was spoken in a ‘circled -rounde’. The description of himself by Churms (l. 68), as ‘at Cambridge -a scholler, at Cales a souldier, and now in the country a lawyer, and -the next degree shal be a connicatcher’, does not go far in the way of -proof. This same passage fixes the date as not earlier than the Cadiz -expedition of 1596; obviously the use of the phrase ‘tricke of Wily -Beguily’ in Nashe’s <i>Have With You to Saffron Walden</i> of 1596 -(<i>Works</i>, iii. 107) proves nothing one way or other as to date, -although Dekker naturally knew the play when he described rogues and -their ‘knavish comedy of Wily-Beguily’ in his <i>Belman of London</i> -of 1608 (<i>Works</i>, iii. 125). If the date is 1596, the authorship -of Peele, suggested by the description of the prologue-speaker as -‘humorous George’, although he is clearly distinct from the ‘fiery -Poet’, and urged by Fleay, ii. 158, and Landsberg, becomes just -possible, chronologically, before his death in November of that year. -But the Shakespearian imitations, although most marked of <i>M.

On his way back, he was met with a Latin oration by a boy -at St. Paul’s School.</p> - -<p>At Shrovetide, the Prince took his mask to the court at Whitehall. -The maskers were the Prince of Purpoole and his Seven Knights; -the torchbearers eight Pigmies; the presenters Proteus, Thamesis, -Amphitrite, and one of the Prince’s Esquires; the musicians two -Tritons, two Nymphs, and a Tartarian Page.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_57">[57]</span></p> - -<p>The performance was upon a stage. After a hymn, the presenters made -speeches setting out how the Prince and Knights were in an Adamantine -Rock, to be released by Proteus, on the discovery of a Power (the -Queen) of more attractive virtue. The maskers issued from the Rock, -and danced ‘a new devised measure, &c.’; then took ladies, and danced -‘their galliards, courants, &c.’; then danced ‘another new measure’. -The Pigmies brought in eight escutcheons, with the maskers’ impresses, -which the Esquire presented to the Queen. The maskers then entered the -rock, while another hymn was sung.</p> - -<p>The maskers were Henry Helmes (Prince), William Cooke, Jarvis Tevery, -John Lambert, Molineux, Grimes, Paylor, and Campnies.</p> - -<p>After the mask, the courtiers danced a measure, and Elizabeth said, -‘What! shall we have bread and cheese after a banquet?’</p> - -<p>The maskers were presented to the Queen ‘on the next day’ and praised -by her. The narrative goes on to record that ‘the same night’ was -fighting at barriers, in which the Prince took part as a defendant with -the Earl of Cumberland against the Earl of Essex and other challengers, -and won the prize; and concludes, ‘Thus on <i>Shrove-Tuesday</i>, at -the Court, were our sports and revels ended’. The dating is not quite -clear, but it seems probable that the mask and barriers were both on -the Tuesday, and the presentation on Ash Wednesday, presumably as the -Queen went to chapel. Conceivably, however, the mask was on Monday, -and the presentation and barriers on Tuesday. The Gray’s Inn records -(Fletcher, 107) note a disbursement on 11 Feb. 1595 to William Johnson -and Edward Morrys, who served as the Prince’s Lord Chancellor and Lord -Treasurer, of 100 marks for ‘the gentlemen for their sports & shewes -this Shrovetyde at the court before the Queens Majestie’. There was -also a levy on 8 May for the ‘shewes & desports’ of sums varying from -4<i>s.</i> to 10<i>s.</i> according to status, while the public stock -of the house was to contribute £30.</p> - -<p>The speeches in the mask were apparently by Francis Davison, one of -the Prince’s Gentlemen Pensioners, who included in his <i>Poetical -Rapsody</i> (1602), sign. D 3 v<sup>o</sup>, amongst Sonnets, &c., ‘To his first -Loue’, one ‘Vpon presenting her with the speech of Grayes-Inne Maske -at the Court 1594, consisting of three partes, The Story of Proteus -Transformations, the wonders of the Adamantine Rocke, and a speech to -her Maiestie’. The <i>Poetical Rapsody</i>, sign. K 8, also contains -the opening hymn of the mask, which begins ‘Of Neptune’s Empyre let us -sing’, and ascribes it to Thomas Campion (q.v.). Whether ‘The Song at -the ending’, which according to Dr. Greg has been inserted in <i>Harl. -MS.</i> 541 by a later hand, is also Campion’s must remain doubtful. -The MS. as originally written is just such a present as Davison may -have sent to his mistress. A list of ‘Papers lent’ by Davison in -<i>Harl. MS.</i> 298 includes ‘Grayes In Sportes under S<sup>r</sup> Henry -Helmes. Eleaz. Hogdson’.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_58">[58]</span></p> - - -<h4><i>The Twelve Months. 1608–12</i></h4> - -<p>[<i>MS.</i>] Formerly <i>penes</i> Collier, but not now among his -papers in <i>Egerton MS.</i> 2623.</p> - -<p><i>Editions</i> by J.

The Spheres sing the first -song calling Beauty from her fort, the Heart (140). This is the -scene; on it are plumes, ‘the ensignes of the darling of the yeare, -delicious Aprill’. Beauty, Aglaia, and the Pulses, ‘beating before -them up towardes the King’, speak a dialogue (131). The Pages dance -an ‘antemasque’ (133). Beauty and Aglaia speak a dialogue (134). -The maskers appear, and are presented by Beauty (134). The second -‘antemasque’ is danced (134). Beauty and Aglaia speak a dialogue (134). -Prognostication enters, and prognosticates (135). The maskers descend, -and Beauty describes April, a prince ‘lov’d of all, yett will not -love’, with a ‘triple plume’ (135). After a second song, ‘they dance -their entrie’ (141). Beauty and Aglaia speak a dialogue (136). There is -a third song (141). ‘They dance their mayne dance: which done, Bewty -invites them to dance with the Ladies’ (137). There is a fourth song -(142). ‘They dance with the Ladies, and the whole Revells follows’ -(137). Beauty calls on Somnus (140). There is a last song (142). ‘They -dance their going off’ (140).</p> - -<p>Brotanek, 346, suggests 1 Jan. 1612 as a probable date. I agree with -him that ‘charming all warre from his mild monarchie’ (136) suggests -James I, although I do not think that ‘our fairy King’ (137) is -necessarily a reminiscence of the <i>Mask of Oberon</i>, especially as -this fairy king is James and not Henry. In any case ‘the heart of the -yeare’ (132), ‘prime of this newe yeare’ (135), ‘this winter nighte’ -(141) do not require a performance on 1 Jan. In fact, April and not -January leads the months in the mask. I would add to Brotanek’s notes -that April is clearly danced by a Prince of Wales, and that ‘lov’d of -all, yett will not love’ fits in with the uncertainty as to Henry’s -matrimonial intentions which prevailed in 1612. But he is not very -likely to have given two masks in the winter of 1611–12, nor is there -any evidence of any mask that winter except the <i>Love Restored</i> of -6 Jan. Of course <i>The Twelve Months</i> may never have been actually -performed. I have thought that it might have been the mask abandoned by -Anne on account of the death of the Queen of Spain in Dec. 1611 (cf. -Jonson, <i>Love Restored</i>). Beauty, ‘our fairy Queene’, is said to -be ‘Great president of all those princely revells’ in honour of the -‘fairy King’. But the mask is danced by<span class="pagenum" id="Page_59">[59]</span> men, not women, which seems to -put a Queen’s mask out of the question. No mask has yet been traced in -the winter of 1609–10. I am afraid I must leave the date open. If Henry -led the dance, his death in Nov. 1612 gives one limit. The ‘antemasque’ -is more likely to have been introduced after than before 1608.

At the same house Milton’s <i>Arcades</i> -was performed before Lady Derby in 1634. Seven fragments of the -entertainment have been preserved, and are printed by Nichols, -<i>Eliz.</i> iii. 570, 586, and Bond, <i>Lyly</i>, i. 491. Accounts of -expenditure involved, and a list of the gifts in kind contributed by -Egerton’s friends on this occasion are in <i>Egerton Papers</i>, 340, -but the account in 342–4 is a forgery (<i>vide infra</i>).</p> - -<p>(i) Dialogue between a Bailiff and Dairymaid, and presentation of a -rake and fork to the Queen, as she entered the demesne near the dairy -house.</p> - -<p>(ii) Dialogue at the steps of the house, and presentation of a heart, -by Place ‘in a partie-colored roobe, like the brick house’ and Time -‘with yeollow haire, and in a green roabe, with an hower glasse, -stopped, not runninge’.</p> - -<p>(iii) Verse petition accompanying gift of a robe of rainbows on behalf -of St. Swithin by Lady Walsingham on Monday morning [2 Aug.].</p> - -<p>(iv) Farewell of Place, ‘attyred in black mourning aparell’ on the -Queen’s departure, with presentation of an anchor.</p> - -<p>(v) Verse ‘Complaint of the Satyres against the Nymphes’.</p> - -<p>(vi) Song and speech by a Mariner, who entered the ‘presence’ with a -lottery box, ‘supposed to come from the Carricke’.</p> - -<p>(vii) ‘The Severall Lottes’, a list of gifts and blanks, with a -poesy accompanying each, and the names of the ladies who drew them. -These were the Queen, the Dowager Countess of Derby, the Countesses -of Derby, Worcester, and Warwick, Lady Scroope, Mistresses Nevill, -Thynne, Hastinges, and Bridges, Ladies Scudamore, Francis, Knevette, -and Susan Vere, Mrs. Vavissour, Ladies Southwell and Anne Clifford, -Mrs. Hyde, Ladies Kildare, Howard of Effingham and Paget, Mistresses -Kiddermister and Strangwidge, the Mother of the Maids, Ladies -Cumberland, Walsingham, and Newton, Mrs. Wharton, Ladies Digbye and -Dorothy [Hastinges] and Mrs. Anselowe. One name, ending in ‘liffe’ -is illegible. It may be Ratcliffe. One MS. adds three lots assigned -to ‘country wenches’. Most of these ladies were maids<span class="pagenum" id="Page_68">[68]</span> of honour and -others who came with the court; one or two, e.g. Mrs. Kiddermister, -were country neighbours of the Egerton’s.</p> - -<p>These pieces are derived from various sources:</p> - -<p>(<i>a</i>) A transcript made by R. Churton in 1803 of a contemporary -MS. found at Arbury, the house of Sir Roger Newdigate, to whose family -Harefield passed in 1675, contains (i)-(v) and was printed by Nichols.</p> - -<p>(<i>b</i>) A <i>Conway MS.</i>, printed by P. Cunningham in <i>Sh. Soc. -Papers</i>, ii. 65, contains (iii), the song from (vi), and (vii), with -the heading ‘The Devise to entertayne hir M<sup>ty</sup> at Harfielde ...’ and -the date 1602.</p> - -<p>(<i>c</i>) The second edition (1608) of Francis Davison’s <i>Poetical -Rhapsody</i> contains the speech from (vi) and (vii), with the -incorrect indication ‘at the Lord Chancellor’s house, 1601’, which -misled Nichols into supposing it to belong to some entertainment at -York Place, the year before that of Harefield. The item comes between -two pieces by Sir John Davies and has the initials J. D.</p> - -<p>(<i>d</i>) The diary of John Manningham (<i>Harl. MS.</i> 5353, f. 95) -contains amongst entries of Feb. 1603 some extracts from (i) and (vii), -dating the latter in ‘the last Sumer at hir M<sup>ties</sup> being with the L. -Keeper’.</p> - -<p>(<i>e</i>) A contemporary MS., printed as <i>Poetical Miscellanies</i> -(<i>Percy Soc.</i> lv), 5, has (vii) dated 1602.</p> - -<p>(<i>f</i>) <i>Talbot MS.</i> K, f. 43, in the College of Arms, contains -(iv) as given at ‘Harville’ with the date ‘Aug. 1602’ and is printed by -Lodge, ii. 560.</p> - -<p>(<i>g</i>) <i>B.M. Birch MS.</i> 4173 contains a similar copy of (iv).</p> - -<p>On the strength of the <i>Poetical Rhapsody</i>, (vii) is generally -assigned to Sir John Davies, which hardly justified Dr. Grosart in -assigning all the pieces to him (<i>Works</i>, ii, clxxii). Bond -transferred the whole to Lyly, primarily as a conjecture, but was -confirmed in his view by finding in <i>Egerton Papers</i>, 343, a -payment to ‘M<sup>r</sup> Lillyes man, which brought the lotterye boxe to -Harefield’. But the document in which this is found, and which also -contains the item ‘x<sup>li</sup> to Burbidges players for Othello’, is one of -Collier’s forgeries (Ingleby, 261).</p> - -<p>John Chamberlain (<i>Letters</i>, 164, 169) sent Dudley Carleton ‘the -Quenes entertainment at the Lord Kepers’ on 19 Nov. 1602, and on 23 -Dec. wrote that, as Carleton liked the Lord Keeper’s devices so ill, he -had not cared to get Sir Robert Cecil’s (cf. ch. xxiii, s.v.

The chronological -evidence for the plays mainly rests upon Appendix B. Tilts and a few -miscellaneous entertainments are included. And it has seemed worth -while to trace the movements of the court, partly in order to locate -the palaces at which the winter performances were given, partly -because of the widespread use of mimetic pageantry during Elizabeth’s -progresses and visits abroad. For the main migrations of the household -(in small capitals), the authorities here cited are confirmed by the -daily or weekly indications of a much more detailed <i>Itinerarium</i> -than can be printed. Additions from sources not explored by me may -be possible to the record of shorter visits or even that of the -by-progresses, upon which Elizabeth was not always accompanied by the -full household. I have not attempted to deal so completely with the -Jacobean period. The King’s constant absences from court on hunting -journeys are difficult to track and of no interest to dramatic history. -Appendix B will show at which of the court plays he was personally -present. The principal material used may be classified as follows: -(<i>a</i>) The royal movements are frequently noted in ambassadorial -dispatches, in private letters, notably those of Roger Manners to -the Earls of Rutland (<i>Rutland MSS.</i>), of Rowland Whyte, court -postmaster, to Sir Robert Sidney (<i>Sydney Papers</i>), and of John -Chamberlain to Sir Dudley Carleton (<i>Letters</i>, ed. Camden Soc., -and Birch, <i>Court of James</i>) and Sir Ralph Winwood (<i>Winwood -Memorials</i>); and in the diaries of Henry Machyn, Lord Burghley -(Haynes-Murdin, ii. 745; <i>Hatfield MSS.</i>, i. 149; v. 69; xiii. -141, 199, 389, 464, 506, 596), Sir Francis Walsingham (<i>Camden -Miscellany</i>, vi), and John Dee. (<i>b</i>) Collections of State and -quasi-State Papers contain many dated and located documents emanating -from the court, such as proclamations, privy seals, signet letters, -and less formal communications from the sovereign or a secretary -or other officer in attendance. Unfortunately Elizabeth’s letters -missive have never been collected, and many of them are unlocated. -Naturally ministerial documents require handling with discretion, lest -the writers should be away from court. Letters patent bear the date -and location of the Chancellor’s <i>recepi</i>, and the Chancellor -was largely detached from the court. The sources for (<i>a</i>) and -(<i>b</i>) are given in the <i>Bibl. Note</i> to ch. i. (<i>c</i>) -The <i>Register</i> of the Privy Council records the localities of -the meetings of that body, but it must be borne in mind that the -registration was not very perfect (cf. ch. ii), and also that, although -the Council ordinarily followed the court, meetings were occasionally -held in Westminster or London, either at the Star Chamber or in the -house of a councillor or even a citizen, when the court happened to be -out of town. (<i>d</i>) Church bells were rung when the sovereign moved -into or out of a parish, and the churchwardens entered the ringers’ -fees in their accounts. The entries in J. V. Kitto, <i>The Accounts -of the Churchwardens of St. Martin’s in the Fields, 1525–1603</i> -(1901, cited as <i>Martin’s</i>), record many comings and goings -from Whitehall, but in some cases the date entered appears to be -other than that of the actual ringing, either by error or because -the payment was on a different day. The<span class="pagenum" id="Page_76">[76]</span> extracts from the accounts -of St. Margaret’s, Westminster (cited as <i>Margaret’s</i>), in J. -Nichols, <i>Illustrations</i>, 1, of Lambeth in D. Lysons, <i>Environs -of London</i>, i. 222, and S. Denne, <i>Historical Particulars of -Lambeth</i> (1795, <i>Bibl. Top. Brit.</i> x. 185), of Fulham in -T. Faulkner, <i>Fulham</i> (1813), 139, of Kingston in Lysons, -<i>Environs</i>, i. 164, and of Wandsworth by C. T. Davis in <i>Surrey -Arch. Colls.</i>, xviii (1903), 96, are scrappy and the year concerned -is not always clear. Nichols, <i>Eliz.</i> iii. 37, gives an analogous -record from the accounts of Chalk in Kent of the occasions on which the -local carts were requisitioned for removes from Greenwich. (<i>e</i>) -The dates and localities of knightings are given in W. A. Shaw, <i>The -Knights of England</i> (1906), but many of them are from inconsistent -and untrustworthy sources. (<i>f</i>) The <i>Chamber Accounts</i> -(cf. App. B) contain under the annual heading ‘Apparelling of Houses’ -summaries of monthly bills sent in by the Gentlemen Ushers of the -Chamber of their expenses while engaged in making preparations for -royal visits. They yield much new information as to the houses visited, -but only very approximately date the visits. And it may be that the -Ushers occasionally had to prepare for a visit which never took place. -Analogous information is contained in the <i>Declared Accounts</i> of -the Office of Works. A single account of the Cofferer of the Household, -printed by Nichols, i. 92, gives a daily record of the locality of the -household throughout the progress of 1561; as far as I know, it is -the only extant document of its kind. (<i>g</i>) J. Nichols, in his -<i>Progresses of Elizabeth</i><sup>2</sup> (1823) and <i>Progresses of James -I</i> (1828), drew fully upon the contemporary printed descriptions of -state entries and progresses, of which a list is given in ch. xxiv, -and upon such ‘gests’ of progresses (cf. ch. iv) as survive. I have -been able to correct and amplify his record of houses visited to a -great extent, as much of the material now available, notably the Privy -Council Register and the Chamber Accounts, was not used by him, and -he occasionally assumed that royal plans were carried out, when they -were not. I have done what I can to identify the royal hosts and their -houses, but there is more of conjecture in my lists than my query-marks -quite indicate. The Chamber Accounts entries are not in chronological -order. Often only a name or a locality is given, and a good deal of -plotting of routes on a map has been necessary. A more thorough study -of local and family histories than I have been able to undertake would -doubtless add corrections and further details. Local antiquaries might -well follow the lines of study opened up by E. Green, <i>Did Queen -Elizabeth visit Bath in 1574 and 1592</i> (1879, <i>Proc. of Bath -Field Club</i>, iv. 105), W. D. Cooper, <i>Queen Elizabeth’s Visits -to Sussex</i> (1852, <i>Sussex Arch. Colls.</i>, v. 190), W. Kelly, -<i>Royal Progresses and Visits to Leicester</i> (1884), and M. Christy, -<i>The Progresses of Queen Elizabeth through Essex and the Houses in -which she stayed</i> (1917, <i>Essex Review</i>, xxvi. 115, 181). A -knowledge of sixteenth-and seventeenth-century roads is useful. The -Elizabethan list in W. Smith, <i>The Particular Description of England, -1588</i> (ed. H. B. Wheatley and E. W. Ashbee, 1879) is fuller than -that in W. Harrison, <i>Description of England</i> (ed. <i>N. S. S.</i> -ii. 107), or that described from a manuscript of <i>c.</i> 1603 by G. -S. Thomson in <i>E. H. R.</i> xxxiii. 234. The seventeenth-century -description of J. Ogilby, <i>Itinerarium Angliae</i> (1675) became -the parent of many travellers’ guides. But it does not include three -private royal roads largely used in removes; viz. the King’s road by -Chelsea to Richmond and Hampton Court, Theobald’s Road, and a road from -Lambeth Ferry to Greenwich and Eltham. Useful studies are T. F. Ordish, -<i>History of Metropolitan Roads</i> (<i>L. T. R.</i> viii. 1), and H. -G. Fordham, <i>Studies in Carto-Bibliography</i> (1914). Other books -are given in D. Ballen, <i>Bibliography of Roadmaking and Roads</i> -(1914).]</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_77">[77]</span></p> - - -<h3>1558</h3> - -<p class="hangingindent">Nov. 17.

But in view of the importance -of these documents as sources for the history of court entertainment, -it will be well to add something about their general nature and state -of preservation to what has already been said about the procedure of -the Treasurer of the Chamber in ch. ii and that of the Revels Office in -ch. iii.</p> - - -<h3>THE AUDIT OF HOUSEHOLD ACCOUNTS</h3> - -<p>Most, but not all, of the accounts preserved are records of audit. -There is, unfortunately, no systematic history of the Audit Office; but -the somewhat scrappy notices in F. S. Thomas, <i>The Ancient Exchequer -of England</i> (1848), and H. Hall, <i>Studies in English Official -Historical Documents</i> (1908), and <i>A Formula Book of English -Official Historical Documents</i>, Part II (1909), may be supplemented -for the Tudor period by the valuable study of M. D. George, <i>The -Origin of the Declared Account</i> (1916, E. H. R. xxxi. 41). The -Record Office series of <i>Lists and Indexes</i> includes lists of -<i>Declared Accounts</i> (ii) and <i>Exchequer Accounts</i> (xxxv). -Normally the auditing of royal expenditure was a function of the -mediaeval Exchequer. The procedure was for the officer charged with -incurring expenditure to appear as accountant before the Auditor-Baron -and his Clerk, and produce detailed statements, known as ‘particulars’, -together with vouchers for sums already spent out of any ‘imprest’ or -advance that had been made to him, and the warrants under which his -expenditure was authorized. From these the Exchequer officers prepared -a ‘compotus’ or balance sheet, signed it, when the balance was settled, -as a record that the accountant was ‘quietus’ or quit from debt to -the Crown, and passed it through the King’s Remembrancer to the Lord -Treasurer’s Remembrancer, in whose office it was enrolled by the Clerk -of the Pipe on the roll of ‘foreign’ or non-revenue accounts. It -was then returned to the King’s Remembrancer, who kept it, with the -particulars and vouchers as subsidiary documents. It was a lengthy -and cumbrous process. Moreover, the Lord Treasurer, like the Lord -Chancellor, was one of the high officers of state whose functions came -at an early date under the control of the barons, and the same motives, -which led the sovereign (cf. ch. ii) to develop in the Wardrobe and -Chamber an executive machinery independent of the Lord Chancellor, also -led him to desire that his more private expenditure should be withdrawn -from the survey of the Exchequer. Thus we find the Treasurer of the -Chamber accountable (cf. ch. ii) at the end of the fifteenth century -to the King alone, and in the mid-sixteenth century to the Court of -Surveyors or to <i>ad hoc</i> auditors specially appointed by the King -or<span class="pagenum" id="Page_132">[132]</span> the Privy Council. When the Court of Augmentations absorbed the -Court of Surveyors in 1553, its establishment included two Auditors -of Prests, and although this court was itself merged in the Exchequer -under Mary, the more up-to-date methods of auditing were continued by -Elizabeth’s appointment in 1560, as themselves Exchequer officers, of -two ‘Auditores de lez Prestes et Compotorum forinsecorum nostrorum’. -The main difference between the methods of the Auditors of the Prests -and that of the Auditor-Baron appears to have been that the personal -appearance of the accountant was no longer necessary, who now himself -prepared in duplicate a balance sheet known as his Original Account, -or Book of Account, of which one copy was signed after examination and -returned to him as evidence of his quittance, while the other was kept -by the Auditors, who based upon it a summary known as the Declared or -Recorded Account, which took the place of the old <i>Compotus</i>. -This also was in duplicate. Apparently the Auditors kept one copy, -on paper, and sent another, on parchment, for preservation, as of -record, in the Pipe Office. I understand Miss George, however, to -think that the accountant was entitled to the paper copy, if he -chose to pay a fee for it, which he very often did not. The amount -of detail taken into the Declared Account from the Original Account -varied for different offices. The Revels Declared Accounts are very -summary; those of the Treasurer of the Chamber, at any rate as regards -play-payments, practically duplicates of the Original Accounts, except -that, unfortunately, the names of plays, which sometimes appeared in -the Original Accounts, are usually omitted. The Auditors also kept the -subsidiary documents submitted with the Original Account, and became -involved in a controversy, recorded in T. Fanshawe, <i>The Practice -of the Exchequer Court</i> (1658), with the King’s Remembrancer, who -claimed that they should come to him. The King’s Remembrancer did -apparently see the Declared Account on its way to the Pipe Office, and -enrolled it, or a further summary of it. About 1603 all the Household -accounts appear to have gone before the Auditors of the Prests, except -those of the Cofferer, which still followed the old course of the -Exchequer. The procedures here described explain the provenance of such -Household accounts as belong to the official repositories now united in -the Record Office; some others, preserved there or elsewhere, come from -the private archives of the accountants themselves, being either the -audit duplicates supplied to them, or office copies and drafts of their -own Original Accounts, or the journals, pay books, and ledgers from -which these were prepared.</p> - - -<h3>CHAMBER ACCOUNTS</h3> - -<p>The following accounts appear to be extant.</p> - -<h4>(a) <i>Mediaeval Period.</i></h4> - -<p>A few accounts and subsidiary documents of the reigns of Edward II, -Edward III, and Richard II are included in the Foreign Accounts on the -Great Rolls of the Exchequer (<i>P. R. O. Lists and Indexes</i>, xi. -108, 109), and in the Exchequer Wardrobe and Household Accounts<span class="pagenum" id="Page_133">[133]</span> (<i>L. -and I</i>. xxxv. 376, 379, 380, 382, 386, 391, 392, 396, 540). The -earliest are described, with extracts, by J. C. Davies, <i>The First -Journal of Edward II’s Chamber</i> (<i>E. H. R.</i> xxx. 662).</p> - -<h4>(b) <i>Early Tudor Period.</i></h4> - -<p>A number of accounts passed from the Augmentation Office to the -Exchequer and were amalgamated in 1839 with others from the office of -the King’s Remembrancer in a series of Exchequer Accounts, Various. -Here they are numbered 413 to 427. They are mainly accounts of -revenue and subsidiary documents, but a few accounts of payments -presented to the Record Office by the Trevelyan family have been added -to the series, and with them are listed as Wardrobe and Household -Accounts (<i>L. and I.</i> xxxv) some other payment accounts from -the Miscellaneous Books of the Treasury of Receipt of the Exchequer, -and one from the Miscellaneous Books of the Court of Augmentations. -Other payment accounts are in the British Museum and in unofficial -collections. It may be the case, as Newton, 359, suggests, that these -or some of them were abstracted from the Records by officials of -antiquarian tastes, but it must be remembered that duplicates even of -audited accounts were often kept by the accountants. These accounts are -generally known as The King’s Books of Payments. The following can be -traced:</p> - -<h5>i. <i>Accounts of John Heron.</i></h5> - -<p>Three Books of Payments, for 1505–9, 1509–18, and 1518–21 respectively, -with many royal signatures by way of audit, are now in the P. R. -O. (<i>Misc. Books of Treasury of Receipt</i>, 214, 215, 216). The -contents of the Henry VIII books are abstracted in Brewer, ii. 1441; -iii. 1533. There must once have been an earlier book, for Collier, i. -49, 52, 76, gives extracts from one for 1492–1505, which he describes -as ‘formerly in the Chapter-house, Westminster’, as well as from -the three now extant, which he describes as ‘in the Chapter-house’. -Possibly this was <i>Addl. MS.</i> 21480, which has been traced back -(Newton, 359) through the hands of Craven Ord (a friend of Collier) -and Thomas Astle to those of Peter Le Neve, a Deputy-Chamberlain of -the Exchequer. But <i>Addl. MS.</i> 21481, which also came from Le -Neve, is a duplicate of the R. O. books for 1505–18, and therefore -<i>Addl. MS.</i> 21480 may only have been a duplicate of the missing -volume. Both the <i>Addl. MSS.</i> contain the royal signatures. Craven -Ord made some extracts which are now <i>Addl. MSS.</i> 7099, 7100, -and to these those supplied by Astle to R. Henry, <i>History of Great -Britain</i>, vi (1793), app., and those in S. Bentley, <i>Excerpta -Historica</i> (1831), 85, owe their origin. Collier, i. 49, also cites -a small book for 1501–2 kept (perhaps under Heron) by one Robert -Fowler, which refers to parallel payments made by Thomas Trollop.</p> - -<h5>ii. <i>Accounts of Brian Tuke.</i></h5> - -<p>A book signed monthly by Henry VIII, with some entries from 31 Dec. -1528 to 30 June 1529, but mainly covering the period from 17 Nov. -1529 to 29 Dec. 1532, was printed by N. H. Nicolas from a MS.<span class="pagenum" id="Page_134">[134]</span> -then in his possession as <i>The Privy Purse Expenses of Henry the -Eighth</i> (1827) and misdescribed as an account of the Treasurer of -the Household. Presumably this MS. is identical with that owned by -Sir O. Bridgeman in 1634 and now <i>Addl. MS.</i> 20030. It overlaps -with an account for 1 Oct. 1528 to May 1531, presented by Sir W. C. -Trevelyan to the P. R. O. (<i>Exchequer Accounts, Various</i>, 420/11); -extracts are given in <i>Trevelyan Papers</i> (C. S.), i. 136, and -an abstract in Brewer, v. 303. Collier, i. 116, and Nicolas (<i>ut -supra</i>), xxviii, give extracts from an account for Feb. 1538 to June -1541 in the possession of the Royal Society, presumably a duplicate of -the account for the same period in <i>Arundel MS.</i> 97, incorrectly -catalogued by the B.M. as an account of the Treasurer of the Household, -and abstracted in Brewer, xiii. 2. 524; xiv. 2. 303; xvi. 178, 698. An -account for May to Sept. 1542 in <i>Stowe MS.</i> 554 is abstracted in -Brewer, xvii. 474. Collier, i. 117, gives extracts from an account for -1543–4 in Craven Ord’s collection.</p> - -<h5>iii. <i>Accounts of William Cavendish.</i></h5> - -<p>Account for 31 March 1547 to 31 Sept. 1549, of which extracts are given -in <i>Trevelyan Papers</i>, i. 191, ii. 13, were presented by Sir W. C. -Trevelyan to the P. R. O. (<i>Exchequer Accounts, Various</i>, 426/5, -6). <i>Misc. Exch. Augm.</i> 439 for 1547–8 is referred to by Newton, -359, as a Chamber account, and is presumably a duplicate.</p> - -<h5>iv. <i>Account of Edmund Felton.</i></h5> - -<p>A Declared Account for 1 Apr. to 31 Dec. 1557 is in <i>D. A. Pipe -Office</i>, 541. Stopes, <i>Hunnis</i>, 145, cites a ‘Compotus -Marie Rither and Edmond Felton’ for 5 and 6 Edw. VI (<i>Queen’s -Remembrancia</i>, 77/5) as a Chamber Account. It is doubtless a -Cofferer’s Account.</p> - -<h4>(c) <i>Elizabethan and Jacobean Periods.</i></h4> - -<h5>i. <i>Accounts in P. R. O.</i></h5> - -<p>The P. R. O. contains Chamber Accounts in four forms. Original -Accounts, as submitted for audit, are in <i>Audit Office, Accounts -Various</i>, 3/127–9. These are no doubt the ‘very incomplete’ set from -which extracts are given by Cunningham, xxvii. So far as play-payments -are concerned, they do not appear to be more detailed than the Declared -Accounts annually drawn up from them by the auditors, of which there -are duplicate sets, both nearly complete, belonging respectively -to the Audit Office and to the Pipe Office in the Lord Treasurer’s -Remembrancer’s Department of the Exchequer. They cover the terms of -office of Mason (1558–66), Knollys (1566–70), Heneage (1570–95), -Killigrew (1595–6), and Stanhope (1596–1617). From the Pipe Office -series I supplemented Cunningham’s extracts in <i>M. L. R.</i> ii -(1906), 1; iv (1909), 153, and give a complete record of play-payments -below. The payments are also given for 1558–85 from the Audit Office -series in Wallace, i (1912), 210, and very imperfectly from the Pipe -Office series for 1559–97 in Stopes, <i>Hunnis</i>, 318. Finally, -there are Enrolled Accounts in the King’s Remembrancer’s Department -(Scargill-Bird<sup>1</sup>, liv). A single book for 1569–70 is in the same -Department (<i>Exchequer Accounts, Various</i>, 430/15). It appears<span class="pagenum" id="Page_135">[135]</span> to -be an office book, and has some original signatures by way of receipts -for payments.</p> - -<h5>ii. <i>Accounts in British Museum.</i></h5> - -<p><i>Harl.</i> 1641 and 1642 are duplicates of Heneage’s accounts for -1585–6 and 1593–4 as prepared for audit. <i>Harl.</i> 1644 is an office -book, 1581–3, containing signatures by way of receipts for wages and -the like.</p> - -<h5>iii. <i>Accounts in Bodleian.</i></h5> - -<p><i>Rawlinson MS.</i> A. 204, ff. 212, 269, contains duplicates of -Stanhope’s accounts for 1604–5 and 1610–11 as prepared for audit, and -<i>Rawlinson MSS.</i> A. 239 and 240 (formerly <i>Pepys MSS.</i> 78 and -79) are similar duplicates of his accounts for 1612–13 and 1616–17. -They are possibly office drafts, with some notes by a checking officer -or an auditor, but are not signed either by accountant or auditors. -Occasionally they are slightly more detailed as regards play entries -than the Declared Accounts. Thus in 1610–11 and 1612–13 they give -some dates of performances instead of the mere number for the season, -and in 1612–13 they even give the titles of the plays. Extracts of -these titles are given in Halliwell-Phillipps, ii. 87, and <i>N. S. S. -Trans.</i> (1875–6) 419, and more completely below. Similar entries -are given by P. Cunningham in <i>Sh. Soc. Papers</i>, ii. 123, not -direct from the manuscript, but from notes taken therefrom by Vertue -and Oldys. These had passed, in the case of the Oldys notes through -Percy, to Steevens, and from him to Hazlewood, who had copied them, as -Oldys and Steevens had done, into an interleaved Langbaine. Malone had -already used Vertue’s notes.</p> - -<p>I should add that many ‘declarations’ or memoranda on the business of -the Treasurer of the Chamber and the state of his finances from time -to time are to be found in the Domestic State Papers, in Lansdowne and -other B.M. MSS., and in a volume (<i>Lord Steward’s Misc.</i> 301) -collected by Sir J. Caesar.</p> - - -<h3>REVELS ACCOUNTS</h3> - -<p>The following accounts appear to be extant:</p> - -<h4>(a) <i>Early Tudor Period.</i></h4> - -<h5>(i) <i>Accounts of Richard Gibson.</i></h5> - -<p>Brewer, ii. 1490; iii. 35, 1548; iv. 418, 837, 1390, 1392, 1415, 1603, -3073, gives abstracts of a series of accounts, ranging from 1510 to -1530, some or all of which are presumably taken from <i>Miscellaneous -Books of the Treasury of the Receipt of the Exchequer</i>, 217, 228, -229.</p> - -<h5>(ii) <i>Accounts of John Bridges.</i></h5> - -<p>It appears from extracts given by Kempe, 69, that some accounts of John -Bridges between 1539, when he became Yeoman of the Revels, and 1544, -when Cawarden became Master, are at Loseley.</p> - -<h5>(iii) <i>Accounts of Sir Thomas Cawarden.</i></h5> - -<p>Many of these are at Loseley, often in more than one copy. Kempe, 69, -gives a few extracts for the last years of Henry VIII, and the most -important documents for the next three reigns, ranging from<span class="pagenum" id="Page_136">[136]</span> 1547 to -1559; are printed by A. Feuillerat in <i>Materialien</i>, xxi and xliv, -with accompanying warrants and other subsidiary documents. From 1547 -to 1550 the accounts are mainly office copies of ‘particular’ books, -setting out the details and cost of each individual revel, airing, or -the like; but for 1550–55, and again for 1555–9, the ‘particular paye -bookes’ are brought together with summaries in two great ‘Certificates’ -(<i>Loseley MSS.</i> 62 and 63), which relate to the Tents as well as -the Revels. The second of these includes, as well as money accounts, -inventories of the office stuff and notes of its employment in masking -and other garments during 1555–60, and a similar record for 1550–5 is -in <i>Loseley MS.</i> 112. These Certificates, although signed by the -Clerk, Clerk Controller, and Yeoman, are not audited. Probably they are -office copies of Original Accounts prepared for audit.</p> - -<h4>(b) <i>Elizabethan Period.</i></h4> - -<p>Eleven Original Accounts of the Masters or Acting Masters of the -Revels, with annotations by the Auditors, are in <i>R. O. Audit -Office, Accounts Various</i>, 3, 907 (formerly 1213). They relate to -the periods: (i) Feb. 1571–May 1572; (ii) June 1572–Oct. 1573; (iii) -Nov. 1573–Feb. 1574; (iv) March 1574–Feb. 1575; (v) March 1576–Feb. -1577; (vi) Feb. 1578–Oct. 1579; (vii) Nov. 1579–Oct. 1580; (viii) Nov. -1580–Oct. 1581; (ix) Nov. 1582–Oct. 1583; (x) Nov. 1584–Oct. 1585; (xi) -Nov. 1587–Oct. 1588. It will be seen that a regular annual system, -starting with the opening of the season for revels at All Saints in -each year, was ultimately adopted. All these accounts were printed in -P. Cunningham, <i>Extracts from the Accounts of the Revels at Court</i> -(1842, <i>Sh. Soc.</i>), but (ii) imperfectly and (xi) from an -unaudited duplicate in the same bundle. These vagaries are corrected in -the text of Feuillerat (1908, <i>Materialien</i>, xxi), who also gives -an account for Nov. 1587–Oct. 1589 from <i>Lansd. MS.</i> 59, f. 38, -which in part duplicates (xi), and much illustrative matter, including -an estimate in some detail of the expenditure from Christmas 1563 to -Shrovetide 1565 from <i>S. P. Dom. Eliz.</i> xxxvi. 22. The Audit -Office series of Declared Accounts for the Revels is imperfect, but -contains two, printed by Feuillerat, for the years 1581–2 and 1583–4, -for which there are no Original Accounts. The Pipe Office series -appears to be complete.</p> - -<h4>(c) <i>Jacobean Period.</i></h4> - -<p>There are only two Original Accounts, for 1604–5 and 1611–12, which are -printed by Cunningham. The Pipe Office Declared Accounts are complete. -I have not examined those of the Audit Office. The Original Accounts -for 1604–5 and 1611–12, and especially the former, have been the -subject of a good deal of controversy. The facts are as follows. They -were printed in 1842 by Peter Cunningham, then a clerk in the Audit -Office, who described them as a separate discovery from the Elizabethan -bundle, which he also printed. Twenty-six years afterwards, in 1868, he -attempted to sell them to the British Museum, stating that he had found -them some thirty years before ‘under the vaults of Somerset House—far -under the Quadrangle in a dry and lofty cellar, known by the name of -the “Charcoal<span class="pagenum" id="Page_137">[137]</span> Repository”’. Their official character was realized, -and they were sent to the Record Office, and placed amongst the papers -known as <i>Audit Office, Accounts Various</i>, 3, 908 (formerly 1214), -with a note that Mr. E. A. Bond, Keeper of the Manuscripts in the -British Museum, ‘saw reasons for doubting the genuineness of one, at -least, of these papers, from the peculiar character of the writing and -the spelling’. It is probable that Bond had in mind, wholly or mainly, -the play-list of the 1604–5 book, which does use some spellings, such -as ‘Shaxberd’ and ‘aleven’, which are unusual although by no means -unparalleled, and is, moreover, in a style of handwriting sufficiently -different from the rest of the document to have at first sight a -suspicious air. But it is an integral part of the book, occupying ff. -2, 2<sup>v</sup> of its three small folio sheets, with other matter both on ff. -1, 1<sup>v</sup>, and on ff. 5, 5<sup>v</sup>, which form the second half of its sheet, and -therefore, if a forged insertion, it occupies a long blank conveniently -left by the original scribe just where, according to Revels practice, -such a list ought to come. Bond’s scepticism was shared by Sir Thomas -Duffus Hardy, and although the grounds of it did not extend beyond the -play-list in the 1604–5 account, the acceptance of this as a forgery -naturally reflected some suspicion upon the corresponding list for -1611–12. The position, however, called for some reconsideration when, -in <i>A Note on Measure for Measure</i> (1880) and subsequently in the -fifth edition (1885) of his <i>Outlines</i> (ed. 9, ii. 163, 309), -Halliwell-Phillipps called attention to evidence that Malone, at some -date before his death in 1812, and therefore before Cunningham was -born, was acquainted at least with the substance of the 1604–5 list. -The Bodleian contains a number of Malone’s note-books, which are -believed to have been purchased from Mr. Rodd, a London bookseller, -in 1838, and contain material collected after the issue of Malone’s -<i>Shakespeare</i> of 1790 with a view to a second edition ultimately -produced by Boswell in 1821. With them were a bundle of loose scraps, -which have since been mounted and bound as a supplementary volume. -One of these scraps (<i>Malone MS.</i> 29, f. 69<sup>v</sup>) consists of a -list of plays headed ‘1604 & 1605 Ed<sup>d</sup>. Tylney’, which substantially -agrees with the list in the Revels book, even to the unusual spelling -‘Shaxberd’, although it is clearly not a transcript of the Revels list, -but merely an abstract of this, or a similar document, in an unknown -hand other than Malone’s. One of the plays named in the Revels book, -<i>The Spanish Maze</i> of Shrove Monday, is omitted. No use of the -scrap had been made by Boswell, although he prints (<i>Variorum</i>, -iii. 360) extracts made by Malone from the Elizabethan Revels books, -together with a letter of 7 Nov. 1591 from Sir William Musgrave, of -the Audit Office, inviting Malone to inspect them, and an official -memorandum on the ‘State of the Books of Accounts and Records of the -Master of the Revels, still remaining in the Office for Auditing the -Public Accounts in 1791’. It is, I think, inconceivable that, if the -Jacobean as well as the Elizabethan books had then been discovered, -no reference should have been made to them either by Musgrave or -Malone, and the most probable explanation of the Bodleian scrap is -that the Jacobean books turned up later, and that an abstract of the -1604–5 list was then prepared for the use<span class="pagenum" id="Page_138">[138]</span> of Malone. It is true that -in that case the Jacobean books would naturally have been added to -the ‘proper presses’ which Musgrave says that he had provided for the -Elizabethan ones, whereas Cunningham found the two sets apart. But as -Cunningham also says that he had redeemed the Elizabethan bundle from -‘a destructive oblivion’, it is possible that Musgrave’s successors had -been neglectful. Moreover, although the 1604–5 list does not appear in -the 1821 <i>Variorum</i>, it is difficult to see on what other grounds -Malone can have stated of <i>Othello</i> (<i>Variorum</i>, ii. 404), -‘We know that it was acted in 1604’. Probably, indeed, he had seen the -list, before he abandoned in a note of 1800 to Dryden’s <i>Grounds of -Criticism in Tragedy</i> his earlier opinion that <i>Othello</i> was -one of Shakespeare’s latest plays. Further, there is similar indirect -evidence that he had also come across the 1611–12 list. In 1808 he -privately printed and in 1809 published an <i>Account of the ... -Tempest</i>, written ‘some years ago’. The chief object of this was -to fix an inferior date by Shakespeare’s use of a pamphlet of 1610. -The superior date he took for granted, saying (p. 31) ‘That it was -performed before the middle of 1611, we have already seen’, and adding -the foot-note ‘Under a former article’. There was no former article, -but in the preface Malone describes the essay as making ‘a part of -the Disquisition concerning the order of the plays in an enlarged -form’, and no doubt the former article would have been included in -the disquisition, had Malone ever completed his own work. Boswell, -reprinting the essay in <i>Variorum</i>, xv. 414, altered the foot-note -to refer to the essay on the Chronological Order of Shakespeare’s Plays -in ‘vol. i’. This is in fact in vol. ii, but though Boswell here states -(ii. 465) that there is evidence that the <i>Tempest</i> ‘was produced -in 1611’, he does not give any evidence beyond the pamphlet of 1610. -Probably he did not know everything that Malone knew. But how did -Malone arrive at ‘the middle of 1611’, since the 1604–5 list does not -take us beyond 1 Nov. 1611? I suppose he assumed that public production -preceded performance at court. Later in the essay (<i>Variorum</i>, xv. -423) he says that the play ‘had a being and a name in the autumn of -1611’.</p> - -<p>Since Halliwell-Phillipps’s discovery the prevalent view, suggested by -him, has been that if the lists, or at any rate that of 1604–5, are -forged, the forger had before him a genuine original. More recently, -however, the matter has been fully investigated by Mr. Ernest Law, who -stimulated the Record Office to a minute examination of the 1604–5 -document, including chemical and microscopical tests of the ink -conducted by Professor J. J. Dobbie at the Government Laboratories. -As a result, Mr. Law’s own view that the list is genuine is confirmed -by such high palaeographical authorities as Sir George Warner of the -British Museum and Sir Henry Maxwell Lyte, Mr. Scargill-Bird, and other -officers of the Record Office, as well as by Professor Feuillerat, -than whom no one knows the Revels documents better, and Professor -Wallace. Mr. Law set out the evidence and the whole history of the -case in <i>Some Supposed Shakespeare Forgeries</i> (1911). His view -was controverted in a review and a number of subsequent communications -in the <i>Athenaeum</i> for 1911 (i. 638; ii. 101, 131, 421) and 1912 -(i. 469,<span class="pagenum" id="Page_139">[139]</span> 654; ii. 142) by a writer using the signature ‘Audi Alteram -Partem’, whose rather amazing contentions Mr. Law disposed of in the -same periodical (1911, ii. 297, 324, 388; 1912, i. 390, 470) and in -<i>More about Shakespeare Forgeries</i> (1913). A recent controversy -between Mrs. C. C. Stopes, Mr. Law, and Sir E. M. Thompson (<i>T. L. -S.</i> 2, 23, 30 Dec. 1920; 27 Jan., 10, 24 Feb. 1921) has led to no -different result.</p> - -<p>I do not think that, in view of the palaeographical investigation, it -is any longer possible to reject the genuineness of the 1604–5 list, -and although that of 1611–12 has not been so minutely tested, it is -pretty obviously of a piece with the ‘Book’ of which it forms a part, -and had it stood alone, probably no suspicion would have fallen upon -it. In fact, it would really be more plausible—although this also is -not in the least plausible—to take the whole documents as forgeries, -than to take the lists as forged insertions in genuine accounts.</p> - -<p>It must be added that there are some singular things about the -substance of the books, with which Mr. Law does not seem to me quite -to grapple. On the whole, that of 1604–5 is rather less perplexing -than that of 1611–12. But the scribe has been oddly confused about his -dates. On f. 1<sup>v</sup> he has written ‘iij<sup>o</sup>’, instead of ‘ij<sup>o</sup>’ for the -regnal year. And at the top of f. 2 he has apparently written ‘1605’ -and then corrected it to ‘1604’. The Queen’s Revels are called by -their obsolete name of ‘The Boyes of the Chapell’, which is odd in an -official document, but so they are, much later, in the Treasurer of the -Chamber’s account for 1612–13. It is more important that, while the -Treasurer of the Chamber records payments for two plays to the Queen’s -Revels, one on 1 Jan. and the other on 3 Jan., the Revels list omits -the play on 3 Jan. altogether, and instead records a performance of -<i>Love’s Labour’s Lost</i> by the King’s men ‘betwin Newers Day and -Twelfe Day’. No complete explanation of this is possible. The most that -can be said is that there is independent evidence of a performance -of <i>Love’s Labour’s Lost</i> in Jan. 1605, but at a date after -and not before Twelfth Night. This is derived from two letters. The -first is from Sir Walter Cope to Robert Cecil, Viscount Cranborne, -preserved at Hatfield (<i>Hist. MSS.</i> iii. 148) and printed by -Halliwell-Phillipps, ii. 83:</p> - -<div class="blockquot"> - -<p>‘I have sent and bene all thys morning huntyng for players -juglers and such kinde of creaturs, but fynde them harde to -fynde; wherfore, leavinge notes for them to seeke me, Burbage -ys come, and sayes ther ys no new playe that the Quene hath not -seene, but they have revyved an olde one cawled <i>Loves Labore -lost</i>, which for wytt and mirthe he sayes will please her -excedingly. And thys ys apointed to be playd tomorowe night -at my Lord of Sowthamptons, unless yow send a wrytt to remove -the corpus cum causa to your howse in Strande. Burbage ys my -messenger ready attendyng your pleasure.’</p> -</div> - -<p>The letter is undated, but endorsed ‘1604’. Cecil’s title was Viscount -Cranborne from 20 Aug. 1604 to 4 May 1605. A second letter, from Dudley -Carleton to John Chamberlain on 15 Jan. 1605 (<i>S. P. D. Jac. I</i>, -xii. 13) gives within near limits the date of the performance. Carleton -says,</p> - -<div class="blockquot"> - -<p>‘It seems we shall have Christmas all the yeare and therefore I -shall never be owt of matter. The last nights revels were kept -at my Lord<span class="pagenum" id="Page_140">[140]</span> of Cranbornes, where the Q. with the D. of Holst and -a great part of the Court were feasted, and the like two nights -before at my Lord of Southamptons. The Temples have both of them -done somewhat since Twelftide but nothing memorable, save that -it was observed on Friday last at night the greatest part of the -femal audience was the sisterhoode of Blackfriers.’</p> -</div> - -<p>Mr. Law (<i>More about S. F.</i> 50) rightly rejects the suggestion of -‘Audi Alteram Partem’ that the ‘last night’ referred to was necessarily -14 Jan., the night before the date of Carleton’s letter; but I think -he is wrong in taking it as the last night of Christmas. This, of -course, was traditionally Twelfth Night, the day in 1605 of Jonson’s -<i>Mask of Blackness</i>. But surely Carleton’s whole point lies in -the exceptional prolongation of the Christmas festivities of this year -beyond Twelfth Night, and I feel clear that all the revels he here -refers to fell between 6 and 15 Jan. On 7 and 8 Jan. came <i>Hen. V</i> -and <i>E. M. O.</i> Putting the facts together, we get a performance, -either at Southampton’s house or Cranborne’s, between 8 and 15 Jan. of -<i>Love’s Labour’s Lost</i>, which the Queen had not seen before. It -is not therefore at all likely that there had been another performance -of the same play at court between 1 and 6 Jan. It is true that the -Queen might by some accident have missed such a performance. But that -would not have prevented the Treasurer of the Chamber from paying for -it, whereas he would not pay for a performance ordered as part of an -entertainment given by Southampton or Cranborne. Nor would it have been -the duty of the Revels Office to attend such a performance, which makes -it rather mystifying that they should have confused it with the second -Queen’s Revels performance at court some days earlier, which it would -have been their duty to attend. The vagueness of the phrase ‘betwin -Newers Day and Twelfe Day’, suggesting that the list was prepared -retrospectively from memory, when the account was made up in the autumn -of 1605, may perhaps help to explain an error. On the other hand, a -forger, presumably knowing nothing of Cope’s letter, which first came -to light in 1872, could hardly have guessed at a revival of <i>Love’s -Labour’s Lost</i> in 1605.</p> - -<p>The discrepancies between the Revels list of 1611–12 and the -corresponding accounts of the Treasurer of the Chamber are rather -numerous. The Revels list records thirteen plays from 1 Nov. to 25 -Feb. ‘before the Kinges Maiestie’, including two which, although, I -suppose, ordered for the King, were in fact only given before the Queen -and Prince. The Treasurer paid for only ten plays as before the King, -and for many others before the younger members of the royal family -only, with which the Revels would not normally be concerned. The two -records agree as to 1 and 5 Nov., 26, 27, and 29 Dec., and 2, 23, and -25 Feb. On 28 Dec. the Treasurer notes a play by the Prince’s men which -the Revels list does not. On 1 Jan. the Revels list notes a play by -the King’s men, which the Treasurer does not. The play on 5 Jan. is -assigned by the Treasurer to the King’s men, and by the Revels list to -the Whitefriars. The plays on 12 and 13 Jan. appear from the Revels -list to have been joint performances by the King’s and Queen’s men, but -the Treasurer notes the play on 12 Jan. only, assigns that to the Duke -of York’s men,<span class="pagenum" id="Page_141">[141]</span> and refers to Henry but not to the Queen as present. -He also paid for one play by the King’s men before Henry, of which he -does not give the date, and which may be that of 13 Jan. Both records -note a play by the Duke of York’s men on 24 Feb., but while the Revels -list does not indicate that James was absent, the Treasurer treats the -performance as one before the royal children only. I do not know that -all this is beyond the blundering of the clerks concerned, especially -perhaps the Clerk of the Revels, at a time when the functions of the -office in relation to court plays had become trivial. On the other -hand, I am not clear that plays ordered by the Queen and paid for out -of her privy purse, instead of by the Treasurer of the Chamber, may not -sometimes have been produced under Revels Office auspices; if so, some -of the discrepancies might be thus accounted for. But obviously the -facts necessitate some caution in the use of the 1611–12 list.</p> - - -<h3>ABSTRACT OF PAYMENTS</h3> - -<p>I now give in tabular form an abstract of all entries in the Chamber -and Revels accounts, which enable us to establish the succession of -court performances during 1558–1616. These are arranged under years -running from Michaelmas to Michaelmas. Four columns are devoted to the -Chamber Accounts. Col. 1 records the dates of the performances, as -recorded in the Declared Accounts. Any correction or closer information -as to date derivable from other sources is added in square brackets. -For the Jacobean period I also show the personages before whom the -performances were given, K. standing for James, Q. for Anne, H. for -Henry, C. for Charles, E. for the Princess Elizabeth, and F. for the -Elector Palatine. Col. 2 contains the verbatim descriptions in the -accounts of the companies performing and their payees, and in a very -few cases of the nature of the performances. A few miscellaneous -entries are inserted in this column. Probably an exhaustive examination -of the records of the subordinate royal households during 1603–16 -might enable a few additions to be made. It is also possible that an -occasional play, perhaps on a progress, may have been rewarded out of -the Privy Purse. But the main series of performances provided for the -regular winter ‘solace’ of the sovereign appears to be fairly complete. -Col. 3 shows the amounts of the rewards. Col. 4 adds the dates of the -warrants for payment as given in the Declared Accounts and in brackets -the places where they were made out, W. for Westminster, H. for Hampton -Court, G. for Greenwich, R. for Richmond, J. for St. James’s, Wi. for -Windsor. I add references to the parallel extracts of Cunningham from -the Original Chamber Accounts (C.), and to the notes of the signing of -warrants in the Privy Council Register (D.) where these exist. A fifth -column, for certain years, adds the relevant extracts from such Revels -Accounts as survive. The references are to Feuillerat’s edition. Any -discrepancies of importance between Chamber, Privy Council, and Revels -records are dealt with in foot-notes. The variant dates of warrants in -the ill-kept Privy Council Register are not important.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_142">[142]</span></p> - -<table summary="accounts" class="sm"> - <tr> - <td class="ctr" colspan="4"><span class="smcap">Chamber Accounts.</span></td> - <td class="ctr"><span class="smcap">Revels Accounts.</span></td> - </tr> - - <tr> - <td class="ctr"><i>Performance.</i></td> - <td class="ctr"><i>Payees.</i></td> - <td class="ctr"><i>Amount.</i></td> - <td class="ctr"><i>Warrant.</i></td> - <td></td> - </tr> - - <tr> - <td class="cht" colspan="6">=1558–60= (<i>Pipe Office, Declared Accounts, Roll 541, mm. 17, 22</i>).</td> - </tr> - - <tr> - <td class="cht2">—</td> - <td class="cht">‘Quenes ... enterlude players for her hyghnes accustomed - rewarde dewe vnto them at Newe yeres tyde.’</td> - <td class="cht">£6 13<i>s.</i> 4<i>d.</i><a id="FNanchor_779" href="#Footnote_779" class="fnanchor">[779]</a></td> - <td class="cht"></td> - <td class="cht">F. 34 (<i>1555–60</i>). ‘ffurnisshinge a pley by the children of the Chapple.’</td> - </tr> - - <tr> - <td class="cht2">—</td> - <td class="cht">‘to players of enterludes.’</td> - <td class="cht">£13 6<i>s.</i> 8<i>d.</i></td> - <td class="cht"></td> - <td class="cht">F. 79 (<i>1558–9</i>). ‘playes and other pastymes sett forthe and - shewen in her Maiesties presence.’</td> - </tr> - - <tr> - <td class="cht" colspan="6">=1560–1= (<i>D.

P. 82. Youth asks Age his opinion -of ‘playes and players, which are commonly vsed and much frequented -in most places in these dayes, especiallye here in this noble and -honourable citie of London’. Age condemns ‘stage playes and enterludes’ -as ‘not tollerable, nor sufferable in any common weale, especially -where the Gospell is preached; for it is right prodigalitie, which -is opposite to liberalitie’. Considers ‘the giftes, buildings, and -maintenance of such places for players a spectacle and schoole for -all wickednesse and vice to be learned in’, and particularly applies -this to ‘those places also, whiche are made vppe and builded for such -playes and enterludes, as the Theatre and Curtaine is, and other such -lyke places.... Satan hath not a more speedie way, and fitter schoole -to work and teach his desire, to bring men and women into his snare -of concupiscence and filthie lustes of wicked whoredome, than those -places, and playes, and theatres are; and therefore necessarie that -those places, and players, shoulde be forbidden, and dissolued, and put -downe by authoritie, as the brothell houses and stewes are’. Quotes the -Fathers on the offences to chastity at theatres. P. 92. Condemns the -playing of ‘histories out of the scriptures. By the long suffering and -permitting of these vaine plays, it hath stricken such a blinde zeale -into the heartes of the people, that they shame not to say, and affirme -openly, that playes are as good as sermons, and that they learne as -much or more at a playe, than they do at God’s worde preached....

Therefore, great reason it is that women (especiallye) shoulde -absent themselues from such playes.’ Notes the <i>infamia</i> of -<i>histriones</i>, which he translates ‘enterlude players’, and refers -to the statute of 1572. Expounds the heathen origin of plays. P. 101. -Youth admits ‘that they ought to be ouerthrowne and put downe.... Yet -I see little sayd, and lesse done vnto them; great resort there is -daily vnto them, and thereout sucke they no small aduantage’. P. 102. -‘They vse to set vp their billes vpon postes certain dayes before, to -admonishe the people to make their resort vnto their theatres, that -they may thereby be the better furnished, and the people prepared to -fill their purses with their treasures.’ P. 102. Youth concludes: ‘I -maruaile the magistrates suffer them thus to continue, and to haue -houses builded for such exercises.... I maruaile much, sithe the rulers -are not onely negligent and slowe herein to doe, but the preachers are -as dumme to speake and saye in a pulpitte against it’; and Age: ‘I -doubt not but God will so moue the hearts of magistrates, and loose -the tongue of the preachers in such godly sort (by the good deuout -prayers of the faithfull) that both with the sworde and the worde such -vnfruitfull and barren trees shall be cut downe’. P. 103. Youth then -raises the question of scholastic plays. These Age admits. ‘I thinke -it is lawefull for a schoolmaster to practise his schollers to playe -comedies, obseruing these and the like cautions: first, that those -comedies which they shall play be not mixt with anye ribaudrie and -filthie termes and wordes (which corrupt good manners). Secondly, that -it be for learning and vtterance sake, in Latine, and very seldome -in Englishe. Thirdly, that they vse not to play commonly and often, -but verye rare and seldome. Fourthlye, that they be not pranked and -decked vp in gorgious and sumptious apparell in their play. Fiftly, -that it be not made a common exercise, publickly, for profit and gaine -of money, but for learning and exercise sake.

Epistle to the -Reader</i>.... ‘I take vpon mee to driue you from playes, when mine -owne woorkes are dayly to be seene vpon stages, as sufficient witnesses -of mine owne folly, and seuere iudges againste my selfe.’ Poetry and -Music are first attacked; an apologist for Homer being likened (p. 21) -‘to some of those players, that come to the scaffold with drum and -trumpet to profer skirmishe, and when they haue sounded allarme, off -go the peeces to encounter a shadow, or conquere a paper monster.’ P. -28. ‘As poetrie and piping are cosen germans: so piping and playing -are of great affinity, and all three chayned in linkes of abuse.’ P. -29. ‘I was first instructed in the university, after drawne like a -nouice to these abuses.’ Criticism of the theatre by the graver Greeks -and Romans and its abuses in Rome. Similar abuses have replaced ‘the -olde discipline of Englande’. P. 35. ‘In our assemblies at playes in -London, you shall see suche heauing, and shoouing, suche ytching and -shouldring, too sitte by the women; suche care for their garments, -that they bee not trode on: such eyes to their lappes, that no chippes -light in them: such pillowes to ther backes, that they take no hurte: -such masking in their eares, I knowe not what: such giuing them pippins -to passe the time: suche playing at foote saunt without cardes: such -ticking, such toying, such smiling, such winking, and such manning -them home, when the sportes are ended, that it is a right comedie, to -marke their behauiour, to watche their conceites, as the catte for the -mouse, and as good as a course at the game it selfe, to dogge them a -little, or followe aloofe by the printe of their feete, and so discouer -by slotte where the deare taketh soyle. If this were as well noted, -as ill seene: or as openly punished, as secretly practised: I haue no -doubte but the cause would be seared to dry vp the effect, and these -prettie rabbets very cunningly ferretted from their borrowes. For -they that lack customers al the weeke, either because their haunte is -vnknowen, or the constables and officers of their parishe watch them -so narrowly, that they dare not queatche, to celebrate the Sabboth, -flock to theaters, and there keepe a generall market of bawdrie: not -that any filthynesse in deede is committed within the compasse of that -grounde, as was doone in Rome, but that euery wanton and his paramour, -euery man and his mistresse, euery John and his Joan, euery knaue and -his<span class="pagenum" id="Page_204">[204]</span> queane, are there first acquainted and cheapen the merchandise in -that place, which they pay for elsewhere as they can agree.’ Players -at least indirectly to blame for London’s wantonness. P. 37. ‘They -seeke not to hurte, but desire too please: they haue purged their -comedyes of wanton speaches, yet the corne whiche they sell, is full -of cockle, and the drinke that they drawe, ouercharged with dregges.’ -Advises those who would avoid offence to avoid the theatre. The -abuses are contrary to the Queen’s will. P. 39. ‘How often hath her -Maiestie, with the graue aduise of her honorable Councell, sette downe -the limits of apparell to euery degree, and how soone againe hath the -pride of our harts ouerflowen the chanel? How many times hath accesse -to theaters beene restrayned, and how boldly againe haue we reentred. -Ouerlashing in apparel is so common a fault, that the very hyerlings -of some of our players, which stand at reuersion of vi.s by the weeke, -iet vnder gentlemens noses in sutes of silke, exercising themselues -too prating on the stage, and common scoffing when they come abrode, -where they looke askance ouer the shoulder at euery man, of whom the -Sunday before they begged an almes. I speake not this, as though euerye -one that professeth the qualitie so abused him selfe, for it is well -knowen, that some of them are sober, discreete, properly learned honest -housholders and citizens well thought on amonge their neighbours at -home, though the pryde of their shadowes (I meane those hangebyes -whome they succour with stipend) cause them to bee somewhat il talked -of abroade. And as some of the players are farre frome abuse: so some -of their playes are without rebuke: which are as easily remembered as -quickly reckoned. The twooe prose bookes plaied at the Belsauage, where -you shall finde neuer a woorde without wit, neuer a line without pith, -neuer a letter placed in vaine. The <i>Iew</i> and <i>Ptolome</i>, -showne at the Bull, the one representing the greedinesse of worldly -chusers, and bloody mindes of usurers: the other very liuely descrybing -how seditious estates, with their owne deuises, false friendes, with -their owne swoordes, and rebellious commons in their owne snares are -owerthrowne: neither with amorous gesture wounding the eye: nor with -slouenly talke hurting the eares of the chast hearers. The <i>Blacke -Smiths daughter</i>, and <i>Catilins Conspiracies</i> vsually brought -in to the Theater: the first contayning the trechery of Turkes, the -honourable bountye of a noble minde, and the shining of vertue in -distresse: the last, because it is knowen too be a pig of myne owne -sow, I will speake the lesse of it; onely giuing you to vnderstand, -that the whole marke which I shot at in that woorke, was too showe the -rewarde of traytors in Catilin, and the necessary gouernment of learned -men, in the person of Cicero, which forsees euery danger that is likely -to happen, and forstalles it continually ere it take effect.... These -playes are good playes and sweete playes, and of al playes the best -playes and most to be liked, woorthy to bee soung of the Muses, or set -out with the cunning of Roscius himself, yet are they not fit for euery -mans dyet: neither ought they commonly to bee shewen. Now if any man -aske me why my selfe haue penned comedyes in time<span class="pagenum" id="Page_205">[205]</span> paste, and inueigh -so egerly against them here, let him knowe that <i>Semel insaniuimus -omnes</i>: I have sinned, and am sorry for my fault: hee runnes farre -that neuer turnes, better late than neuer. I gaue my self to that -exercise in hope to thriue but I burnt one candle to seek another, and -lost bothe my time and my trauell, when I had doone.’ Deprecates the -excuse that plays keep idle heads occupied. P. 42. ‘These because they -are allowed to play euery Sunday, make iiii or v Sundayes at least -euery weeke, and all that is doone is good for Augustus, to busy the -wittes of his people, for running a wool-gathering, and emptie their -purses for thriuing to fast.’ Has shown the abuses of players out of -profane writers rather than out of the Scriptures. Exhorts against -vanity; but, p. 44, ‘if players can promise in woordes, and performe it -in deedes, proclame it in their billes, and make it good in theaters; -that there is nothing there noysome too the body, nor hurtfull to the -soule: and that euerye one which comes to buye their iestes, shall -haue an honest neighbour, tagge and ragge, cutte and longe tayle, goe -thither and spare not, otherwise I aduise you to keepe you thence, my -selfe will beginne too leade the daunce’. Briefly reprehends dancers, -tumblers, dicers, carders, and bowlers, and more at length fencers. -<i>Epistle to Sir Richard Pipe, Lord Mayor, and the Aldermen</i>.... -P. 56. ‘I woulde the abuses of my Schoole were as wel knowen of you, -to reformation: as they are found out by other to their owne peril. -But the fishe <i>Sepia</i> can trouble the water to shun the nettes, -that are shot to catch her: <i>Torpedo</i> hath craft inough at the -first touch to inchant the hooke, to coniure the line, to bewitch -the rod, and to benumme the handes of him that angleth.

Yea, which I ad, as excellent an Autor of those vanities, as who -was best.... Praise God, I beseech you, for bringing this Autor, and -Maister Gosson, who made the Schoole of Abuse, out of Babylon.’ <i>A -second blast of retrait.</i> This is translated from Salvian, <i>De -Gubernatione Dei</i>, lib. vi. <i>A third blast of retrait.</i> P. 120. -‘Such doubtles is mine opinion of common plaies, vsual iesting, and -riming extempore that in a Christian-weale they are not sufferable. -My reason is, because they are publike enimies to virtue, & religion: -allurements vnto sinne; corrupters of good manners; the cause of -securitie and carelesnes; meere brothel houses of Bauderie: and bring -both the Gospel into slander; the Sabboth into contempt; mens soules -into danger; and finalie the whole Common-weale into disorder.’ -Offers his judgement for what it is worth; describes his experience -of plays and the reasons that led him to turn from them. P. 123. ‘I -confess that ere this I haue bene a great affecter of that vaine art -of Plaie-making, insomuch that I haue thought no time so wel bestowed, -as when my wits were exercised in the inuention of those follies.’ P. -125. ‘What I shal speake of the abuse of plaies by my owne knowledge, -I know maie be affirmed by hundreds, to whom those matters are as wel -knowen as to my selfe. Some citizens wiues, vpon whom the Lord for -ensample to others hath laide his hands, haue euen on their death beds -with teares confessed, that they haue receiued at those spectacles such -filthie infections, as haue turned their minds from chast cogitations, -and made them of honest women light huswiues; by them they haue -dishonored the vessels of holines; and brought their husbandes into -contempt, their children into question, their bodies into sicknes, and -their soules to the state of euerlasting damnation.... When I gaue -my selfe first to note the abuse of common plaies ... the Theater I -found to be an appointed place of Bauderie; mine owne eares haue heard -honest women allured with abhominable speeches. Sometime I haue seen -two knaues at once importunate vpon one light huswife; whereby much -quarel hath growen to the disquieting of manie. There seruants, as it -is manifestlie to be prooued, haue consented to rob their maisters, to -supplie the want of their harlots; there is the practising with married -wiues to traine them from their husbands, and places appointed for -meeting and conference. When I had taken a note of all these abuses, -& sawe that the Theater was become a consultorie house of Satan, I -concluded with my selfe, neuer to imploie my pen to so vile a purpose, -nor to be an instrument of gathering the wicked together.’ Apologizes -for pressing forward in the cause. The abuse of the Sabbath is the -first thing to be put down. P. 128. ‘Let therefore the Magistrate but<span class="pagenum" id="Page_210">[210]</span> -repel them from the libertie of plaieng on the Sabboth daie, For that -is the abuse which is generalie found fault withal, & allowed of none -but those who are altogether destitute of the feare of God, and without -conscience. To plaie on the Sabboth is but a priuiledge of sufferance, -and might with ease be repelled, were it throughlie followed. The -warrant which Magistrats have to forbid plaies is great, and passed -vnto them by such a Prince, whose auctoritie is aboue al auctorities -of earthlie gouernors.... Is not the Sabboth of al other daies the -most abused?... Are not our eies (there) carried awaie with the pride -of vanitie? our eares abused with amorous, that is lecherous, filthie -and abhominable speech? Is not our tong, which was giuen vs onelie to -glorifie God withal, is not our tong there imploied to the blaspheming -of Gods holie Name; or the commendation of that is wicked? Are not our -hartes through the pleasure of the flesh; the delight of the eie; and -the fond motions of the mind, withdrawen from the seruice of the Lord, -& meditation of his goodnes? So that albe it is a shame to saie it, yet -doubtles whosoeuer wil mark with what multitudes those idle places are -replenished, & how emptie the Lordes sanctuarie is of his people, may -wel perceaue what deuotion we haue.... Alas, what folie is in you, to -purchase with a penie damnation to your selues?... The Magistrate is -therefore to prouide in time a remedie to redresse the mischiefes that -are like to ensue by this common plague.... The Magistrates hart must -be as the hart of a Lion. He is not to shrinke in the Lordes cause, -or to stand in feare to reforme abuses of the Common-weale, because -of some particular men of auctoritie.... Alas, that priuate affection -should so raigne in the Nobilitie, that to pleasure, as they thinke, -their seruants, and to vphold them in their vanitie, they should -restraine the Magistrates from executing their office! What credite can -returne to the Noble, to countenance his men to exercise that qualitie -which is not sufferable in anie Common-weale? wheras it was an ancient -custome, that no man of Honor should reteine anie man, but such as -was excellent in some one good qualitie or other, whereby if occasion -so serued, he might get his owne liuing? Then was euerie noble mans -house a Common-weale in it selfe: but since the reteining of these -Caterpillers, the credite of noble men hath decaied, they are thought -to be couetous by permitting their seruants, which cannot liue of them -selues, and whome for neerenes they wil not maintaine, to liue at the -deuotion or almes of other men, passing from countrie to countrie, -from one Gentlemans house to another, offering their seruice, which is -a kind of beggerie. Who in deede, to speake more trulie, are become -beggers for their seruants. For commonlie the goodwil men beare to -their lordes, makes them drawe the stringes of their purses to extend -their liberalitie to them; where otherwise they would not.... Such like -men, vnder the title of their maisters or as reteiners, are priuiledged -to roaue abroad, and permitted to publish their mametree in euerie -Temple of God, and that through England, vnto the horrible contempt of -praier. So that now the Sanctuarie is become a plaiers stage, and a -den of theeues and adulterers.... And<span class="pagenum" id="Page_211">[211]</span> trust me I am of that opinion, -that the Lord is neuer so il serued as on the holie-daies. For then -hel breakes loase. Then wee permit our youth to haue their swinge; -and when they are out of the sight of their maisters, such gouernment -haue they of themselues, that what by il companie they meete withal, & -il examples they learne at plaies, I feare me, I feare me their harts -are more alienated in two houres from virtue, than againe maie wel be -amended in a whole yeare.’ P. 135. Players break the first commandment -by profanity. P. 137. Appeal against vanities. ‘Those pleasures of the -stage, what are they, but the drifts of Satan?... The foole no sooner -showeth himselfe in his colors to make men merrie, but straight-waie -lightlie there foloweth some vanitie, not onlie superfluous, but -beastlie and wicked. P. 139. Whosoeuer shal visit the chappel of Satan, -I meane the Theater, shal finde there no want of yong ruffins, nor -lacke of harlots, vtterlie past al shame: who presse to the fore-frunt -of the scaffoldes, to the end to showe their impudencie, and to be as -an obiect to al mens eies. Yea, such is their open shameles behauior, -as euerie man maie perceaue by their wanton gestures, wherevnto they -are giuen; yea, they seeme there to be like brothels of the stewes. For -often without respect of the place and company which behold them, they -commit that filthines openlie, which is horrible to be done in secret; -as if whatsoeuer they did, were warranted. For neither reuerence, -iustice, nor anie thing beside can gouerne them.’ The shamelessness -of young men. ‘Seeke to withdrawe these felowes from the Theater vnto -the sermon, they wil saie, By the preacher they maie be edified, but -by the plaier both edified and delighted.’ P. 142. Plays are a snare -to chastity, both through the examples shown on the stage, and the -comments of companions on the scaffolds. ‘The nature of these Comedies -are, for the most part, after one manner of nature, like the tragical -comedie of Calistus; where the bawdresse Scelestina inflamed the -maiden Melibeia with her sorceries.’ P. 144. Examples of the intrigues -‘aptlie taught in the Schoole of abuse.... I am sorie this schoole is -not pluckt downe by the magistrate; and the schoole-maisters banished -this citie.... The reuerend word of God & histories of the Bible, set -forth on the stage by these blasphemous plaiers, are so corrupted with -their gestures of scurrilitie, and so interlaced with vncleane, and -whorish speeches, that it is not possible to drawe anie profite out -of the doctrine of their spiritual moralities.’ P. 145. Attacks the -authors of plays. ‘The notablest lier is become the best Poet.... Our -nature is led awaie with vanitie, which the auctor perceauing frames -himself with nouelties and strange trifles to content the vaine humors -of his rude auditors, faining countries neuer heard of; monsters -and prodigious creatures that are not; as of the Arimaspie, of the -Grips, the Pigmeies, the Cranes, & other such notorious lies. And if -they write of histories that are knowen, as the life of Pompeie; the -martial affaires of Caesar, and other worthies, they giue them a newe -face, and turne them out like counterfeites to showe themselues on -the stage.... What doe they leaue behind<span class="pagenum" id="Page_212">[212]</span> them? monumentes of wanton -wicked life, and doting things for men of these latter daies.... But -some perhaps wil saie, The noble man delighteth in such things, whose -humors must be contented, partlie for feare, & partlie for commoditie: -and if they write matters pleasant, they are best preferred in court -among the cunning heads.... Those goodlie persons, if they be voide of -virtue, maie wel be counted like faire clothes ouer a foule wal; big -bladers ful of wind, yet of no waight.’ P. 147. Attacks the actors. -‘When I see by them yong boies, inclining of themselues vnto wickednes, -trained vp in filthie speeches, vnnatural and vnseemlie gestures, to -be brought vp by these Schoole-masters in bawderie, and in idlenes, -I cannot chuse but with teares and griefe of hart lament.... And as -for those stagers themselues, are they not commonlie such kind of -men in their conuersation, as they are in profession? Are they not -as variable in hart, as they are in their partes? Are they not as -good practisers of Bawderie, as inactors? Liue they not in such sort -themselues, as they giue precepts vnto others? doth not their talke -on the stage declare the nature of their disposition?’ Meets divers -objections. P. 148. ‘But they perhaps wil saie, that such abuses as are -handled on the stage, others by their examples, are warned to beware -of such euils, to amendment.... I cannot by anie means beleeue that -the wordes proceeding from a prophane plaier, and vttered in scorning -sort, interlaced with filthie, lewde, & vngodlie speeches, haue greater -force to mooue men vnto virtue, than the wordes of truth vttered -by the godlie Preacher.... If the good life of a man be a better -instruction to repentance than the tong, or words, why do not plaiers, -I beseech you, leaue examples of goodnes to their posteritie?... Are -they not notoriouslie knowen to be those men in their life abroade, -as they are on the stage, roisters, brallers, il-dealers, bosters, -louers, loiterers, ruffins?... To conclude, the principal end of all -their interludes is to feede the world with sights, & fond pastimes; -to iuggle in good earnest the monie out of other mens purses into -their owne handes.’ P. 150. ‘Some haue obiected, that by these -publique places manie forbeare to do euil for feare to be publiquelie -reprehended. And for that cause they wil saie it was tolerated in Rome, -wherein Emperors were touched, though they were present. But to such -it maie be answered, first that in disguised plaiers giuen ouer to al -sortes of dissolutenes, is not found so much as a wil to do good, seing -they care for nothing lesse than for virtue. Secondlie, that is not a -good meanes to correct sinne. For that if it be secret, it ought not -to be reuealed openlie, but by such meanes to be reformed as Christ -himselfe alloweth in his Gospel.’ P. 151. ‘The antiquitie of plaieng -is likewise often vsed for an argument to proue it allowable. But the -custome of euil is not to be maintained, because of antiquitie.’ P. -152. A final appeal. ‘The citie Marsiles ... would receaue into it -no stage-plaiers.... I would to God the Magistrates of our citie of -London would haue the like foresight. The permission of plaies so long -a time hath alreadie corrupted this citie; and brought the name of -the citizens into slander; the examples of Gods iudgement is at this -present an example in this citie.’</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_213">[213]</span></p> - - -<h3>xxviii. 1581. <span class="smcap">Anon.</span></h3> - -<div class="blockquot"> - -<p>[Only known to me from the entry in <i>Catalogue of Chatsworth -Library</i>, iv. 49.]</p> -</div> - -<p>A Treatise of Daunses, wherein it is showed, that they are as it were -accessories and dependants (or things annexed) to whoredom: where also -by the way is touched and proved, that Playes are ioyned and knit -together in a ranck or rowe with them.</p> - - -<h3>xxix. 1581. <span class="smcap">John Rainolds.</span></h3> - -<div class="blockquot"> - -<p>[From <i>Praefatio ad Academiam Oxoniensem</i>, dated ‘Febr. -2. 1580’, to <i>Sex Theses de Sacra Scriptura et Ecclesia</i> -(1580), 30.

These they very impudently affirme to be -written by me since I had set out my inuectiue against them. I can not -denie, they were both mine, but they were both penned two yeeres at -the least before I forsoke them, as by their owne friends I am able -to proue: but they haue got suche a custome of counterfaiting vpon -the Stage, that it is growen to a habite, & will not be lefte. God -knoweth, before whom to you all I doe protest, as I shall answer to -him at the last day, when al hidden secrets shal be discouered, since -the first printing of my Inuectiue, to this day, I neuer made Playe -for them nor any other.... I departed from the City of London, and -bestowed my time in teaching yong Gentlemen in the Countrie, where I -continue with a very worshipfull Gentleman, and reade to his sonnes -in his owne house.... As sonne as I had inueighed against Playes, I -withdrewe my selfe from them to better studies, which so long as I liue -I trust to follow.’ <i>The Confutation of Playes. The First Action.</i> -The Efficient Cause of Plays. Defends his own change of mind. P. 167. -‘When I firste gaue my selfe to the studie of Poetrie, and to set my -cunning abroache, by penning Tragedies and Comedies in the Citte of -London: perceiuing such a Gordians knot of disorder in euery play -house, as woulde neuer bee loosed without extremitie, I thought it -better with Alexander to draw y<sup>e</sup> sword that should knappe it a sunder -at one stroke, than to seeke ouernisely or gingerly to vndoe it, with -the losse of my time and wante of successe. This caused mee to bidde -them the base at their owne gole, and to geue them a volley of heathen -writers: that our diuines considering the danger of suche houses as are -set vp in London against the Lord, might better them thoroughly with -greater shotts.’ An incomplete remedy. ‘Acknowledging the mischiefe -bred by playes wee hope to auoid yt by changing their day yet suffer -them still to remaine amonge vs.... The abhominable practises of playes -in London haue bene by godly preachers, both at Paules crosse, and else -where so zealously, so learnedly, so loudly cried out vpon to small -redresse; that I may well say of them, as the Philosophers reporte of -the moouing of the heauens, we neuer heare them, because we euer heare -them.’ Notes an answer to him. P. 169. ‘Amongest all the fauorers of -these vncircumcised Philistines, I meane the Plaiers, whose heartes are -not right, no man til of late durst thrust out his heade to mayntaine -there quarrell, but one, in witt, simple; in learning, ignorant; in -attempt, rash; in name, Lodge: whose booke, as it came not to my handes -in one whole yeere after the priuy printing thereof, so I confesse, -that to it, before this time, I aunswered nothing,<span class="pagenum" id="Page_215">[215]</span> partlie because he -brought nothing; partlie because my hearte was to bigge, to wrastle -with him, that wanteth armes. Therefore considering with my selfe -that such kinde of sores might bee launced to sone, I chose rather -to let him ripen and breake of him selfe, that vomiting out his owne -disgrace, & being worne out of fauour among his own friends, I might -triumph in the cause & shedde no blood.... Some of his acquaintance -haue vaunted to cut and hewe mee, I knowe not howe.’ The Devil is the -efficient cause of plays, as noted by Tertullian. P. 171. ‘And William -[‘Thomas’ on a cancel in some copies] Lodge in that patchte pamphlet of -his ... confesseth openly that playes were consecrated by the heathens -to y<sup>e</sup> honour of their gods.’ Expounds the policy of the Devil in the -matter. P. 172. ‘First hee sente ouer many wanton Italian bookes.... -Not contented with the number he hath corrupted with reading Italian -baudery, because all cannot reade, [he] presenteth vs Comedies cut by -the same paterne, which drag such a monstrous taile after them, as is -able to sweep whole Cities into his lap.’ Argues that plays are of -idolatrous origin, and disliked by Scipio Nasica and other severer -Romans. Rome held players infamous. P. 178. ‘Wherefore I beseech God so -to touch the heartes of our Magistrates with a perfite hatred of sinne, -and feare of Iudgement; so to stirr vp some noble Scipio in the Courte, -that these daunsing Chaplines of Bacchus and all such as set vp these -wicked artes, may be driuen out of Englande.’ <i>The Second Action.</i> -The Material Cause of Plays. P. 179. ‘Yonge Master Lodge thinking to -iett vpon startoppes, and steale an ynche of his hight by the bare name -of Cicero, allegeth from him, y<sup>t</sup> a Play is the Schoolmistresse of -life; the lookinge glasse of manners; and the image of trueth.... It -seemeth that Master Lodge saw this in Tullie with other folkes eyes, -and not his owne. For to my remembrance I neuer read it in him, neither -doe I thinke that Master Lodge can shewe it me.’ Cites passages of -Cicero against <i>spectacula</i>. Sets down the matter of plays. P. -180. ‘The argument of Tragedies is wrath, crueltie, incest, iniurie, -murther eyther violent by sworde, or voluntary by poyson. The persons, -Gods, Goddesses, furies, fiendes, Kinges, Quenes, and mightie men. The -grounde worke of Commedies, is loue, cosenedge, flatterie, bawderie, -slye conueighance of whoredome; The persons, cookes, queanes, knaues, -baudes, parasites, courtezannes, lecherous olde men, amorous yong men.’ -Criticizes the Lodge-Cicero metaphor in detail. Plays no schoolmistress -of life. ‘The beholding of troubles and miserable slaughters that are -in Tragedies, driue vs to immoderate sorrow, heauines, womanish weeping -and mourning, whereby we become louers of dumpes, and lamentation, both -enemies to fortitude. Comedies so tickle our senses with a pleasanter -vaine, that they make vs louers of laughter, and pleasure, without any -meane, both foes to temperance. What schooling is this? Sometime you -shall see nothing but the aduentures of an amorous knight, passing -from countrie to countrie for the loue of his lady, encountring many -a terible monster made of broune paper, & at his retorne, is so -wonderfully changed, that he can not be knowne but by some posie<span class="pagenum" id="Page_216">[216]</span> in -his tablet, or by a broken ring, or a handkircher, or a piece of a -cockle shell. What learne you by that? When y<sup>e</sup> soule of your playes -is eyther meere trifles, or Italian baudery, or wooing of gentlewomen, -what are we taught?’ Aristotle forbade plays to the young. P. 182. ‘If -any goodnes were to be learned at Playes it is likely that the Players -them selues which committ euery sillable to memory shoulde profitte -most ... but the dayly experience of their behauiour sheweth, that they -reape no profit by the discipline them selues.’ Thinks Master Lodge -found ‘some peeuish index or gatherer of Tullie to be a sleepe.... -Wherein I perceiue hee is no changeling, for he disputeth as soundly -being from the vniuersitie and out of exercise, as he did when hee was -there, and at his booke.’ P. 183. Plays no glass of behaviour. Manners -should not be rebuked where no reply is possible, or before such judges -as ‘the common people which resorte to Theaters being but an assemblie -of Tailers, Tinkers, Cordwayners, Saylers, olde Men, yong Men, Women, -Boyes, Girles, and such like’. The Roman law of libel restrained -‘the ouer-lashing of players’. P. 185. Criticizes [Wilson’s] <i>The -Three Ladies of London</i> [cf. ch. xxiii] for making Love detest and -Conscience allow plays; also a rival play of <i>London against the -Three Ladies</i>. Denies that intention either of poets or players is -to profit those they rebuke. P. 187. Plays not the image of truth. P. -188. ‘In Playes either those thinges are fained that neuer were, as -Cupid and Psyche plaid at Paules; and a greate many Comedies more at ye -Blacke friers and in euery Playe house in London, which for breuities -sake I ouer skippe: of if a true Historie be taken in hand, it is made -like our shadows, longest at the rising and falling of the Sunne, -shortest of all at hie noone. For the Poets driue it most commonly vnto -such pointes as may best showe the maiestie of their pen in Tragicall -speaches; or set the hearers a gogge with discourses of loue; or painte -a fewe antickes to fitt their owne humors with scoffes & tauntes; or -wring in a shewe to furnish the Stage when it is to bare; when the -matter of it selfe comes shorte of this, they followe the practise of -the cobler, and set their teeth to the leather to pull it out. So was -the history of Caesar and Pompey, and the Playe of the Fabii at the -Theater, both amplified there, where the Drummes might walke, or the -pen ruffle; when the history swelled and ran to hye for the number of -y<sup>e</sup> persons that should playe it, the Poet with Proteus [? Procrustes] -cut the same fit to his owne measure; when it afoorded no pompe at al, -he brought it to the racke to make it serue.... I may boldely say it -because I haue seene it, that the Palace of pleasure, the Golden Asse, -the Œthiopian historie, Amadis of Fraunce, the Rounde Table, baudie -Comedies in Latine, French, Italian, and Spanish, haue beene throughly -ransackt to furnish the Playe houses in London.... Forsooth saith -the Authour of the Playe of plays showen at the Theater, the three -and twentieth of Februarie last: They shalbe nowe purged, the matter -shalbe good.... As for that glosing plaie at y<sup>e</sup> Theater which profers -you so faire, there is enterlaced in it a baudie song of a maide of -Kent, and a little beastly<span class="pagenum" id="Page_217">[217]</span> speech of the new stawled roge, both which -I am compelled to burie in silence, being more ashamed to vtter them -than they.’ Thinks the minority of honest plays a trick of the devil. -Repeats his points as to the idolatrous origin of plays and the infamy -of players at Rome. The devil makes them alluring. P. 192. ‘For the -eye, beeside the beautie of the houses and the Stages, hee sendeth -in Gearish apparell, maskes, vauting, tumbling, daunsing of gigges, -galiardes, morisces, hobbihorses, showing of iudgeling castes.’ <i>The -Third Action.</i> The Formal Cause of Plays. P. 195. ‘The Law of God -very straightly forbids men to put on womens garments.’ This is not to -be explained away as a prohibition of disguises meant to facilitate -adultery, but is absolute. P. 197. ‘In Stage Playes for a boy to put -one the attyre, the gesture, the passions of a woman; for a meane -person to take vpon him the title of a Prince with counterfeit porte, -and traine, is by outwarde signes to shewe them selues otherwise then -they are, and so with in the compasse of a lye, which by Aristotles -iudgement is naught of it selfe and to be fledde.’ Admits that Gregory -Nazianzen and Buchanan wrote plays. ‘To what ende? To be Plaied vpon -Stages? neither Players nor their friendes are able to proue it.’ -Refutes another objection. P. 198. ‘Let the Author of the playe of -playes & pastimes, take heede how he reason y<sup>t</sup> action, pronuntiation, -agility of body are y<sup>e</sup> good gifts of God. <i>Ergo</i>, plaies -consisting of these cannot be euill.’ Even the heathens condemned the -waste of money in spectacles. <i>The Fourth Action.</i> The Final Cause -of Plays. P. 201. The end of plays is sinful delight, as is proved -by the admissions of Menander and Terence, ‘By the manner of penning -in these dayes, because the Poets send theire verses to the Stage -vpon such feete as continually are rowled vp in rime at the fingers -endes, which is plaucible to the barbarous, and carrieth a stinge into -the eares of the common people. By the obiect, because Tragedies and -Commedies stirre vp affections, and affections are naturally planted -in that part of the minde that is common to vs with brute beastes.’ -Analyses the argument of the Author of the Play of Plays, ‘spreading -out his battel to hemme me in’. P. 202. ‘He tyeth Life and Delight so -fast together, that if Delight be restrained, Life presently perisheth; -there, zeale perceyuing Delight to be embraced of Life, puttes a snafle -in his mouth, to keepe him vnder. Delight beinge bridled, Zeale leadeth -life through a wildernesse of lothsomenesse, where Glutte scarreth them -all, chafing both Zeale and Delight from Life, and with the clubbe -of amasednesse strikes such a pegge into the heade of Life, that he -falles downe for dead vpon the Stage. Life beinge thus fainte, and -ouertrauailed, destitute of his guyde, robbed of Delight, is readie to -giue vp the Ghost, in the same place; then entereth Recreation, which -with music and singing rockes Life a sleepe to recouer his strength. -By this meanes Tediousnesse is driuen from Life, and the teinte is -drawne out of his heade, which the club of amasednes left behinde. At -last Recreation setteth vp the Gentleman vpon his feete, Delight is -restored to him againe, and such kinde of sportes for cullices are -brought in to nourishe him, as<span class="pagenum" id="Page_218">[218]</span> none but Delighte must applye to his -stomache. Then time beinge made for the benefite of Life, and Life -being allowed to followe his appetite, amongst all manner of pastimes, -Life chooseth Commedies, for his Delight, partly because Commedies are -neither chargable to y<sup>e</sup> beholders purse, nor painful to his body; -partly, because he may sit out of the raine to veiwe the same, when -many other pastimes are hindred by wether. Zeale is no more admitted to -Life before he be somewhat pinchte in the waste, to auoyde extremitie, -and being not in the end simply called Zeale but Moderate Zeale a fewe -conditions are prescribed to Comedies, that the matter be purged, -deformities blazed, sinne rebuked, honest mirth intermingled, and fitte -time for the hearing of the same appointed. Moderate Zeale is contented -to suffer them, who wyneth with delight to direct life againe, after -which he triumphes ouer Death & is crowned with eternitie.’ P. 203. -As Fathers and Councils ‘and y<sup>e</sup> skilfulst Deuines at this day in -England which are compelled in Sermons to cry out against them’ are -challenged by this playmaker, will answer him. Distinguishes between -carnal and spiritual delight. Plays bring carnal delight, which is -contrary to reason and comes of corruption. <i>The Fifth Action.</i> -The Effects of Plays. P. 211. Why should he write against plays, when, -although famous men in both universities cry out against plays, ‘none -of them by printing haue taken the paines to write any full discouery -against them’? Partly because, being young, he will be better excused -than they if he ‘shoulde speake but one worde against y<sup>e</sup> sleepines -of Magistrats which in this case is necessary to be toucht’; partly -because, ‘hauing once already written against playes, which no man -that euer wrote playes, did, but one, who hath changed his coppy, -and turned himself like y<sup>e</sup> dog to his vomite, to plays againe, and -being falsly accused my selfe to do y<sup>e</sup> like, it is needfull for me -to write againe’. Declares the effects of plays. Wantonness on the -stage excites the passions of the spectators. Theatres are ‘markets -of bawdry’. P. 215. ‘Our Theaters, and play houses in London, are as -full of secrete adulterie as they were in Rome.... In the playhouses -at London, it is the fashion of youthes to go first into the yarde, -and to carry theire eye through euery gallery, then like vnto rauens -where they spye the carion thither they flye, and presse as nere to y<sup>e</sup> -fairest as they can.... They giue them pippines, they dally with their -garmentes to passe y<sup>e</sup> time, they minister talke vpon al occasions, -& eyther bring them home to their houses on small acquaintance, or -slip into tauerns when y<sup>e</sup> plaies are done. He thinketh best of his -painted sheath, & taketh himselfe for a iolly fellow, y<sup>t</sup> is noted of -most, to be busyest with women in all such places.’ The players are -an evil in the commonwealth. P. 215. ‘Most of the Players haue bene -eyther men of occupations, which they haue forsaken to lyue by playing, -or common minstrels, or trayned vp from theire childehood to this -abhominable exercise & haue now no other way to get theire liuinge.... -In a commonweale, if priuat men be suffered to forsake theire calling -because they desire to walke gentleman like in sattine & veluet, with -a buckler at their heeles, proportion is so broken, vnitie dissolued, -harmony confounded,<span class="pagenum" id="Page_219">[219]</span> that the whole body must be dismembred and the -prince or the heade cannot chuse but sicken.... Let them not looke to -liue by playes; the little thrift that followeth theire greate gaine, -is a manifest token that God hath cursed it.’ A final appeal to his -countrymen, ending, ‘God is iust, his bow is bent & his arrowe drawen, -to send you a plague, if you staye too long’.</p> - - -<p>xxxi. 1583. <span class="smcap">John Field.</span></p> - -<div class="blockquot"> - -<p>[From <i>A godly exhortation, by occasion of the late iudgement -of God, shewed at Parris-garden, the thirteenth day of Ianuarie: -where were assembled by estimation aboue a thousand persons, -whereof some were slaine; & of that number, at the least, as is -crediblie reported, the thirde person maimed and hurt</i>.

Beeing thus vngodly assembled, to so vnholy a spectacle and -specially considering the time; the yeard, standings, and Galleries -being ful fraught, being now amidest their iolity, when the dogs and -Bear were in the chiefest Battel, Lo the mighty hand of God vppon them. -This gallery that was double, and compassed the yeard round about, was -so shaken at the foundation, that it fell (as it were in a moment) flat -to the ground, without post or peere, that was left standing, so high -as the stake whervnto the Beare was tied. Although some wil say (and as -it may be truly) that it was very old and rotten and therefore a great -waight of people, being planted vpon it then was wont, that it was no -maruaile that it fayled: and would make it but a light matter. Yet -surely if this be considered, that no peece of post, boord, or stake -was left standing: though we vrge it not as a miracle, yet it must -needes be considered as an extraordinary iudgement of God, both for -the punishment of those present prophaners of the Lordes day that were -then, & also informe and warne vs that were abroad. In the fal of it, -there were slaine fiue men and two women, that are come to knowledge, -who they were and where they dwelled, to wit, <i>Adam Spencer</i> -a <i>Felmonger</i>, in <i>Southwarke</i>, <i>William Cockram</i> a -Baker, dwelling in <i>Shordich</i>, <i>Iohn Burton</i> Cleark, of -<i>S.

I would not haue thee so to -take mee, as though my speaches tended to the overthrowe and vtter -disliking of all kynd of exercyses in generall: that is nothing my -simple meaning. But the particulare Abuses which are crept into euery -one of these seuerall exercyses is the only thing which I think worthie -of reprobation. For otherwise (all Abuses cut away) who seeth not that -some kind of playes, tragedies and enterluds, in their own nature are -not only of great ancientie, but also very honest and very commendable -exercyses, being vsed and practised in most Christian common weales, as -which containe matter (such they may be) both of doctrine, erudition, -good example, and wholsome instruction; and may be vsed, in tyme and -place conuenient, as conducible to example of life and reformation of -maners. For such is our grosse and dull nature, that what thing we see -opposite before our eyes, do pearce further and printe deeper in our -harts and minds, than that thing which is hard onely with the eares.... -But being vsed (as now commonly they be) to the prophanation of the -Lord his sabaoth, to the alluring and inuegling of the People from -the blessed word of God preached, to Theaters and vnclean assemblies, -to ydlenes, vnthriftynes, whordome, wantonnes, drunkennes, and what -not; and which is more, when they are vsed to this end, to maintaine -a great sort of ydle Persons, doing nothing but playing and loytring, -hauing their lyuings of the sweat of other Mens browes, much like vnto -dronets deuouring the sweet honie of the poore labouring bees, than -are they exercyses (at no hand) sufferable. But being vsed to the ends -that I haue said, they are not to be disliked of any sober and wise -Christian.’ <i>The Maner of Sanctifiyng the Sabaoth in Ailgna.</i> P. -137. ‘Some spend the Sabaoth day (for the most part) in frequenting of -baudie Stage-playes and enterludes.’ P. 140. <i>Of Stage-playes and -Enterluds, with their wickednes.</i> ‘All Stage-playes, Enterluds, and -Commedies are either of diuyne or prophane matter: If they be of diuine -matter, then are they most intollerable, or rather Sacrilegious; for -that the blessed word of God is to be handled reuerently, grauely, -and sagely, with veneration to the glorious Maiestie of God, which -shineth therin, and not scoffingly, flowtingly, and iybingly, as -it is vpon stages in Playes and Enterluds, without any reuerence, -worship, or veneration to the same. The word of our Saluation, the -price of Christ his bloud, & the merits of his passion, were not -giuen to be derided and iested at, as they be in these filthie playes -and enterluds on stages & scaffolds, or to be mixt and interlaced -with bawdry, wanton shewes, & vncomely gestures, as is vsed (euery -Man knoweth) in these playes and enterludes.... Doo these Mockers -and Flowters of his Maiesty, these dissembling <i>Hipocrites</i>, -and flattering <i>Gnatoes</i>, think to escape vnpunished? beware, -therfore, you masking Players, you painted sepulchres, you doble -dealing<span class="pagenum" id="Page_223">[223]</span> ambodexters, be warned betymes, and, lik good computistes, -cast your accompts before, what wil be the reward therof in the end, -least God destroy you in his wrath: abuse God no more, corrupt his -people no longer with your dregges, and intermingle not his blessed -word with such prophane vanities.

P. 143. ‘Then, seeing that Playes -were first inuented by the Deuil, practised by the heathen gentiles, -and dedicat to their false ydols, Goddes and Goddesses, as the howse, -stage, and apparell to <i>Venus</i>, the musicke to <i>Appollo</i>, the -penning to <i>Minerua</i> and the Muses, the action and pronuntiation -to <i>Mercurie</i> and the rest, it is more than manifest that they -are no fit exercyses for a Christen Man to follow. But if there were -no euill in them saue this, namely, that the arguments of tragedies is -anger, wrath, immunitie, crueltie, iniurie, incest, murther, & such -like, the Persons or Actors are Goddes, Goddesses, Furies, Fyends, -Hagges, Kings, Queenes, or Potentates. Of Commedies the matter and -ground is loue, bawdrie, cosenage, flattery, whordome, adulterie; -the Persons, or agents, whores, queanes, bawdes, scullions, knaues, -Curtezans, lecherous old men, amorous yong men, with such like of -infinit varietie. If, I say, there were nothing els but this, it were -sufficient to withdraw a good christian from the vsing of them; For so -often as they goe to those howses where Players frequent, thei go to -<i>Venus</i> pallace, & sathans synagogue [<i>in margin</i>, ‘Theaters -and curtaines Venus pallaces’], to worship deuils, & betray Christ -Iesus.’ To say that plays are ‘as good as sermons’ is to say that ‘the -Deuill is equipolent with the Lord’. P. 144. ‘There is no mischief -which these plaies maintain not. For do they not norish ydlenes? and -<i>otia dant vitia</i>, ydlenes is the Mother of vice. Doo they not -draw the people from hering the word of God, from godly Lectures and -sermons? for you shall haue them flocke thither, thick & threefould, -when the church of God shalbe bare & emptie.... Do they not maintaine -bawdrie, infinit folery, & renue the remembrance of hethen ydolatrie? -Do they not induce whordom & vnclennes? nay, are they not rather plaine -deuourers of maydenly virginitie and chastitie? For proofe wherof, -but marke the flocking and running to Theaters & curtens, daylie and -hourely, night and daye, tyme and tyde, to see Playes and Enterludes; -where such wanton gestures, such bawdie speaches, such laughing and -fleering, such kissing and bussing, such clipping and culling, Suche -winckinge and glancinge of wanton eyes, and the like, is vsed, as -is wonderfull to behold. Then, these goodly pageants<span class="pagenum" id="Page_224">[224]</span> being done, -euery mate sorts to his mate, euery one bringes another homeward of -their way verye freendly, and in their secret conclaues (couertly) -they play the <i>Sodomits</i>, or worse.

And wheras you say there are -good Examples to be learned in them, Trulie so there are: if you will -learne falshood; if you will learn cosenage; if you will learn to -deceiue; if you will learn to play the Hipocrit, to cogge, lye, and -falsifie; if you will learne to iest, laugh, and fleer, to grin, to -nodd, and mow; if you will learn to playe the vice, to swear, teare, -and blaspheme both Heauen and Earth: If you will learn to become a -bawde, vncleane, and to deuerginat Maydes, to deflour honest Wyues: -if you will learne to murther, slaie, kill, picke, steal, robbe, and -roue: If you will learn to rebel against Princes, to commit treasons, -to consume treasurs, to practise ydlenes, to sing and talke of bawdie -loue and venery; if you will lerne to deride, scoffe, mock, & flowt, -to flatter & smooth: If you will learn to play the whore-maister, -the glutton, Drunkard, or incestuous person: if you will learn to -become proude, hawtie, & arrogant; and, finally, if you will learne -to contemne God and al his lawes, to care nither for heauen nor hel, -and to commit al kinde of sinne and mischeef, you need to goe to no -other schoole, for all these good Examples may you see painted before -your eyes in enterludes and playes: wherfore that man who giueth -money for the maintenance of them must needs incurre the damage of -<i>premunire</i>, that is, eternall damnation, except they repent. -For the Apostle biddeth vs beware, least wee communicat with other -mens sinnes; & this their dooing is not only to communicat with other -mens sinnes, & maintain euil to the destruction of them selues & many -others, but also a maintaining of a great sorte of idle lubbers, and -buzzing dronets, to suck vp and deuoure the good honie, wherupon the -poor bees should liue.’ Exhorts ‘all players & Founders of plaies and -enterluds’ to leave their life. P. 146. ‘Away therfore with this so -infamous an art! for goe they neuer so braue, yet are they counted and -taken but for beggers.

The suggestion of Collier that <i>Menaphon</i> was -originally printed in 1587 appears to be baseless. Outside -the three passages quoted, Nashe praises Watson’s translation -of <i>Antigone</i>. McKerrow’s collection of material for the -critical discussion of the epistle is so full that I need only -compare briefly my conclusions with his. In (i) Nashe seems -to me to be criticizing (<i>a</i>) ‘tragedians’, which for me -are clearly ‘tragic actors’, while McKerrow inclines to make -them ‘writers of tragedy’, and (<i>b</i>) their dramatists, -who include blank-verse ‘Art-masters’, which I agree with -McKerrow is more likely, in view of the fact that Greene above -all flourished his University degree, to mean ‘masters of -their art’ than ‘masters of Arts’, and translating tradesmen -or serving-men with no education beyond a grammar-school. The -slight suggestions that Nashe may have had Marlowe especially -in mind are perhaps hardly sufficient to outweigh his statement -in <i>Have with you to Saffron Walden</i> (1596) that he -‘neuer abusd Marloe’; and Marlowe was a University man, and -no tradesman or serving-man. On the other hand, there is no -specific praise of Marlowe with other University poets in the -epistle. The whole of (i) is a precise parallel to the following -lines by Thomas Brabine, also prefixed to <i>Menaphon</i>:</p> - - <div class="poetry-container1"> - <div class="poetry"> - <div class="stanza"> - <div class="hangingindent">‘Come foorth you witts that vaunt the pompe of speach,</div> - <div class="i1 hangingindent">And striue to thunder from a Stage-mans throate:</div> - <div>View <i>Menaphon</i> a note beyond your reach;</div> - <div class="i1 hangingindent">Whose sight will make your drumming descant doate:</div> - <div>Players auaunt, you know not to delight;</div> - <div class="hangingindent">Welcome sweete Shepheard; worth a Schollers sight.’</div> - </div> - </div> - </div> - -<p class="p-left">In (ii) I am rather more inclined than McKerrow to think that -the ‘<i>Nouerint</i>’ and the ‘Kidde in <i>Æsop</i>’ may glance -at Kyd, who was not one of the University group, and was a -grammarian, a translator, and very likely already a serving-man. -But the attempts to trace him elsewhere in the passage come to -very little; nor is one playwright only necessarily in question, -so that, although the ‘handfuls of Tragicall speeches’ may -point to a play of <i>Hamlet</i> as already extant in 1589, -the inference that Kyd was its author becomes extremely thin. -In (iii) Nashe attacks the players as parasitic on the poets, -in terms closely resembling those used later by Greene in his -<i>Groatsworth of Wit</i> (No. xlviii). Probably Roscius is -here Alleyn, and Caesar stands for the poets in general. I do -not agree with Fleay, <i>L. of S.</i> 10, 99, that the epistle -reflects a rivalry between the poets of the Queen’s men and -those of Pembroke’s, who indeed did not yet exist, or any other -company.

Truely (said -<i>Roberto</i>) it is strange, that you should so prosper in that vaine -practise, for that it seemes to me your voyce is nothing gracious. Nay -then, said the player, I mislike your iudgement: why, I am as famous -for Delphrigus, and the king of Fairies, as euer was any of my time. -The twelue labors of <i>Hercules</i> haue I terribly thundred on the -stage, and plaied three scenes of the deuill in the highway to heauen. -Haue ye so (said <i>Roberto</i>?) then I pray you pardon me.

Roberto, now famozed -for an Arch-plaimaking-poet, his purse like the sea sometime sweld, -anon like the same sea fell to a low ebbe; yet seldom he wanted, his -labors were so well esteemed. Marry, this rule he kept, what euer he -fingerd afore-hand, was the certaine meanes to vnbinde a bargaine; and -being asked why he so sleightly dealt with them that did him good? It -becomes me, sath hee, to be contrarie to the worlde: for commonly when -vulgar men recieue earnest, they doe performe; when I am paid any thing -afore-hand, I breake my promise.... <i>To those Gentlemen, his Quondam -acquaintance, that spend their wits in making Plaies, R.

With him was the fifth, a man of indifferent yeares, of face -amible, of body well proportioned, his attire after the habite of a -schollerlike Gentleman, onely his haire was somewhat long, whome I -supposed to be Robert Greene, maister of Artes: of whome (howe euer -some suppose themselues iniured) I haue learned to speake, considering -he is dead, <i>nill nisi necessarium</i>.

Thy selfe once a Player, and against Players: nay, turne -out the right side of thy russet coate, and lette the world know -thy meaning. Why thus I meane, for now I speake in sobernes. Euery -thing hath in it selfe his vertue and his vice: from one selfe flower -the Bee and Spider sucke honny and poyson. In plaies it fares as in -bookes, vice cannot be reproued, except it be discouered: neither is -it in any play discouered, but there followes in the same an example -of the punishment: now he that at a play will be delighted in the -one, and not warned by the other, is like him that reads in a booke -the description of sinne, and will not looke ouer the leafe for the -reward. Mirth in seasonable time taken, is not forbidden by the -austerest Sapients. But indeede there is a time of mirth and a time of -mourning. Which time hauing been by the Magistrats wisely obserued, as -well for the suppressing of Playes, as other pleasures: so likewise a -time may come, when honest recreation shall haue his former libertie. -And lette <i>Tarleton</i> intreate the yoong people of the Cittie, -either to abstaine altogether from playes, or at their comming thither -to vse themselues after a more quiet order. In a place so ciuill as -this Cittie is esteemed, it is more than barbarously rude, to see the -shamefull disorder and routes that sometimes in such publike meetings -are vsed. The beginners are neither gentlemen, nor citizens, nor any -of both their seruants, but some lewd mates that long for innouation; -& when they see aduantage, that either Seruingmen or Apprentises are -most in number, they will be of either side, though indeed they are of -no side, but men beside all honestie, willing to make boote of cloakes, -hats, purses, or what euer they can lay holde on in a hurley burley. -These are the common causers of discord in publike places. If otherwise -it happen (as it seldome doth) that any quarrell be betweene man and -man, it is far from manhood to make so publike a place their field to -fight in: no men will doe it, but cowardes that would faine be parted, -or haue hope to haue many partakers. Nowe to you that maligne our -moderate merriments, and thinke there is no felicitie but in excessiue -possession of wealth: with you I would ende in a song, yea an Extempore -song on this Theame, <i>Ne quid nimis necessarium</i>: but I am now -hoarse, and troubled with my Taber and Pipe: beside, what pleasure -brings musicke to the miserable. Therefore letting songes passe, I tell -them in sadnes, how euer Playes are not altogether to be commended: yet -some of them do more hurt in a day, than all the Players (by exercizing -theyr profession) in an age. Faults there are in the professors as -other men, this the greatest, that diuers of them beeing publike in -euerie ones eye, and talkt of in euery vulgar mans mouth, see not how -they are seene into, especially for their contempt, which makes them -among most men most contemptible. Of them I will say no more: of the -profession, so much hath <i>Pierce Pennilesse</i> (as I heare say) -spoken, that for mee there is not any thing to speake.

I -think the treatise was probably written in 1607 and touched up -in 1608, since (<i>a</i>) the series of actors named as dead -ends with Sly, who died in Aug. 1608; (<i>b</i>) the Revels -Office is located at St. John’s, which it lost about Feb. -1608; (<i>c</i>) the frustrated Spanish landing in ‘Perin’ in -Cornwall ‘some 12 yeares ago’ is probably the abortive Spanish -attempt to burn Pendennis Castle on Falmouth Harbour, 3 miles -from Penrhyn, which appears from <i>S. P. D. Eliz.</i> cclvi, -21, 40, and Dasent, xxv. 15, to have taken place in the autumn -of 1595, probably in connexion with the better-known landing -of 22 July 1595 in Mount’s Bay. Here there is a Perranuthnoe, -but this was a successful landing, resulting in serious damage -to Penzance, Mousehole, and Newlyn (<i>Procl.</i> 879). There -was also a raid at Cawsand Bay near Plymouth on 14 Mar. 1596 -(<i>S. P. D. Eliz.</i> cclvi. 89), in which the invaders fired -some houses and boats, and fled to sea on a shot being fired. -But there is no ‘Perin’ in Cawsand Bay. In <i>Journal of the -Folk-Song Society</i>, v. 275, is recorded a tradition that -‘the French once landed invading troops at Padstow Bay; but on -seeing a number of mummers in red cloaks with their hobby-horse -they supposed that the English army was at hand, and fled’. -This raid was at St. Eval, 3 miles west of Padstow, on 13 July -1595 (<i>Hatfield MSS.</i> v. 285), and no doubt formed part -of the same expedition which reached Mount’s Bay. Of course -it was Spanish, not French; the perversion is characteristic -of tradition. Conceivably this episode was what Heywood had -in mind, but the nearest ‘Perin’, Perranporth, is some dozen -miles farther west than St. Evall.

Between A and B had appeared the sixth edition of -<i>The Wife</i>, with the character of <i>An Excellent Actor</i> -and the reference to a rival as ‘the imitating Characterist’ (v. -No. lxi).

One is ‘To the namelesse Rayler: -who hath lenghthened his Excellent Actor, a most needy Caracter -following the wife with a peece of dog-skin witt; dressed ouer -with oyle of sweaty Posthorse’.

Some appended verses claim for Cocke -the authorship of the <i>Tinker</i>, <i>Apparator</i>, and -<i>Almanac-maker</i> in <i>The Wife</i>. It seems clear that -Cocke and not Stephens wrote the present character, and that -<i>An Excellent Actor</i> was a reply to it.

When hee is most commendable, you must confesse there -is no truth in him: for his best action is but an imitation of truth, -and <i>nullum simile est idem</i>. It may be imagined I abuse his -carriage, and hee perhaps may suddenly bee thought faire-conditioned; -for he <i>playes above board</i>.<a id="FNanchor_835" href="#Footnote_835" class="fnanchor">[835]</a> Take him at the best, he is but -a shifting companion; for hee lives effectually by putting on, and -putting off.

He doth not striue to -make nature monstrous, she is often seene in the same Scaene with -him, but neither on Stilts nor Crutches; and for his voice tis not -lower then the prompter, nor lowder then the Foile and Target. By his -action he fortifies morall precepts with example; for what we see him -personate, we thinke truely done before vs: a man of a deepe thought -might apprehend, the Ghosts of our ancient <i>Heroes</i> walk’t againe, -and take him (at seuerall times) for many of them. Hee is much affected -to painting, and tis a question whether that make him an excellent -Plaier, or his playing an exquisite painter. Hee addes grace to the -Poets labours: for what in the Poet is but ditty, in him is both ditty -and musicke. He entertaines vs in the best leasure of our life, that -is betweene meales, the most vnfit time, either for study or bodily -exercise: the flight of Hawkes and chase of wilde beastes, either of -them are delights noble: but some think this sport of men the worthier, -despight all <i>calumny</i>. All men haue beene of his occupation: -and indeed, what hee doth fainedly that doe others essentially: this -day one plaies a Monarch, the next a priuate person. Heere one Acts a -Tyrant, on the morrow an Exile: A Parasite this man to night, to morow -a Precisian, and so of diuers others. I obserue, of all men liuing, a -worthy Actor in one kind is the strongest motiue of affection that can -be: for when he dies, wee cannot be perswaded any man can doe his parts -like him. Therefore the imitating Characterist was extreame idle in -calling them Rogues.

It is largely drawn from official -sources, especially the Chancery Rolls and the Privy Council -Register, and the City archives, in particular the series of -<i>Remembrancia</i>, which begins in 1579 and contains copies -of official correspondence between the Corporation and the -Privy Council, or individual persons of honour. Something has -also been contributed by the <i>Repertories</i> of the Court -of Aldermen and the <i>Journals</i> of the Common Council, but -these, as well as the <i>Liber Legum</i> and the <i>Letter -Books</i>, which extend to 1590, probably still require further -search. The nature of the Privy Council Register is described -in ch. ii, and it must be borne in mind that orders relating to -plays are probably missing from it, owing to <i>lacunae</i>, of -which the chief are May 1559–May 1562, Sept. 1562–Nov. 1564, -Dec. 1565–Oct. 1566, May 1567–May 1570, July 1572–Feb. 1573, -June 1582–Feb. 1586, Aug. 1593–Oct. 1595, April 1599–Jan. -1600, Jan. 1602–May 1613. For the last of these an abstract -covering 1602–10 in <i>Addl. MS</i>. 11402 is an inadequate -substitute. Probably some volumes of the Register were burnt -in the fire of 1619 (cf. ch. i). Many of the documents were -printed by Collier, Hazlitt, Wright, and others, but in -most cases more authoritative texts are available in such -publications as the <i>Statutes of the Realm</i> (1810–22), -J. R. Dasent, <i>Acts of the Privy Council</i> (1890–1907), -J. C. Jeaffreson, <i>Middlesex County Records</i> (1888–92), -W. W. Greg, <i>Henslowe Papers</i> (1907), C. C.

K. -Chambers and W. W. Greg), and in view of the diplomatic accuracy -of these I have allowed myself to make the present copies more -readable by means of additional punctuation, modifications -in the use of capitals, and the extension of contractions. I -have also occasionally omitted an irrelevant passage or an -endorsement.

It -is clear from that part of the Corporation’s Answer which -Collier suppressed that the real date of the Lansdowne documents -is later than the ‘ruine at Parise garden’, which was on 13 -Jan. 1583 (cf. No. lxiv), and it must also be later than the -establishment of the Queen’s men in March 1583, and their first -performances at court in the winter of 1583–4. The petition was, -on the face of it, written at the beginning of a winter, and -the most natural interpretation would place it in the winter of -1584. It might conceivably be 1585. There is no reference to it -in the Acts of the Privy Council, and it probably belongs to the -period of the missing register between June 1582 and Feb. 1586. -Unfortunately, the <i>Remembrancia</i> also have a gap between -March 1584 and Jan. 1587.

Graunt, <i>Natural and Political -Observations upon the Bills of Mortality</i> (1662, 1665, 1676); -<i>Reflections on the Weekly Bills of Mortality</i> (1665, two -eds.); J. Bell, <i>London’s Remembrancer</i> (1665). Modern -studies are C. Creighton, <i>History of Epidemics in Britain</i> -(1891); C. H. Hull, <i>The Economic Writings of Sir William -Petty</i> (1899, with reprint of Graunt’s <i>Observations</i>); -W. J. Simpson, <i>A Treatise on Plague</i> (1905). Murray, ii. -171, discusses <i>The Relation of the Plague to the Closing -of the Theatres</i>. The ultimate material consists largely -of the weekly bills of mortality returned for each London -parish and published by the City authorities. In these the -deaths from plague were separately stated. They were probably -prepared throughout our period, at any rate from the plague -of 1563. On 14 July 1593 John Wolf entered in the Stationers’ -Register (Arber, ii. 634) a licence to print ‘the billes, -briefes, notes and larges gyven out for the sicknes weekly or -otherwise’. The only complete bill extant is one for 20 Oct. -1603 (<i>Political Tracts</i>, 1680, in Guildhall Library), -but summaries of the weekly totals are available for 1563–6 -(J. Gairdner, <i>Three Fifteenth-Century Chronicles</i>, 123, -144), 1578–83 (Creighton, i. 341, from <i>Hatfield MSS.</i>), -1593 (Hull, ii. 426, from Graunt; <i>vide infra</i>), 1597–1600 -(Hull, ii. 432, from <i>Ashmolean MS.</i> 824), 1603 (Hull, ii. -426, from Graunt; Scaramelli in <i>V. P.</i> x. 33 sqq.), 1604 -(Nicolo Molin in <i>V. P.</i> x. 132 sqq.), 1606–10 (Creighton, -i. 494, from Bell). During the sixteenth century the bills -appear normally to have covered 108 or 109 parishes wholly -or partly within the City jurisdiction, but on 4 Aug. 1593 -Westminster, St. Katherine’s, St. Giles, Southwark, Shoreditch, -and other suburbs were ordered exceptionally to make returns to -the Lord Mayor (Dasent, xxiv. 442). On 14 July 1603 the normal -list was extended to include eleven suburban parishes, and in -1606 another was added, making 121 in all. But the important -areas of Westminster, Lambeth, Newington, Stepney, Hackney, -Islington, and Rotherhithe remained uncovered. Moreover, the -suburban<span class="pagenum" id="Page_346">[346]</span> figures seem from the print of 1603 to have been -recorded separately, and those in Bell’s pamphlet are shown by a -comparison of his entry for 12 May 1636 with that in Herbert’s -Office-Book (<i>Variorum</i>, iii. 239) to relate only to the -City and liberties. The returns for this area were probably the -basis for play restraints in the seventeenth century (cf. Bk. -ii, ch. x). The bills seem to have been issued on Thursdays, -with figures for the seven days ending on the day of issue.]</p> -</div> - -<p>I give all facts indicating any epidemic condition of plague such as -would affect the performance of plays.

The Lord Mayor’s feast was suppressed and the precautions -against infection revised (Dasent, x. 339, 386, 413). Michaelmas term -was deferred on 22 Sept. (<i>Procl.</i> 724) and 20 Oct.

The precautions were -revised (Creighton, i. 319). Plays were restrained on 10 July and the -restraint removed on 18 Nov. Michaelmas term was deferred on 21 Sept. -(<i>Procl.</i> 760), and other precautions taken (<i>Remembrancia</i>, -331).</p> - -<p><i>1582.</i> There was some plague during the year -(<i>Remembrancia</i>, 332), with deaths over 30 from 26 July to 27 -Dec., reaching 216 on 25 Oct., and totalling 2,976 for fifty-one -recorded weeks of the year. Plays were restrained, probably with -the assent of the Privy Council, although the Register is missing. -Michaelmas term was deferred on 18 Sept. (<i>Procl.</i> 764), and -transferred to Hertford on 8 Oct. (<i>Procl.</i> 765).</p> - -<p><i>1583.</i> The plague deaths were over 30 from 3 to 31 Jan., after -which the record fails. But precautions continued (<i>Remembrancia</i>, -335). A restraint of plays was terminated on 26 Nov.</p> - -<p><i>1584.</i> There is no evidence of plague, but the dispute of this -year suggests that the summer restraint of recent years had been -repeated.</p> - -<p><i>1585.</i> There is no evidence of plague or restraint.</p> - -<p><i>1586.</i> There is no evidence of plague, other than a precautionary -restraint of 11 May.</p> - -<p><i>1587.</i> There was a similar precautionary restraint on 7 May.</p> - -<p><i>1588–91.</i> There is no evidence of plague or even of precautionary -restraints.</p> - -<p><i>1592.</i> The first notice of plague is on 13 Aug., when it was -daily increasing (Dasent, xxiii. 118), and there is ample evidence of -its seriousness to the end of the year (ibid., 136, 177, 181, 183, -203, 220, 230, 231, 241, 273, 274, 276, 365; Birch, <i>Eliz.</i> i. -87; Creighton, i. 351). A new ‘booke of orders and remedies’ was -recommended by the Council (Dasent, xxiii. 203) on 19 Sept. to the -Kent justices. This is doubtless the <i>Orders Thoughte Meete by her -Maiestie and her privie Counsell to be executed</i> of which several -prints (1592, 1593, 1603, <span class="allsmcap">N.D.</span>) exist. It is for provincial -use, and has no special reference to the restraint of plays. Plays had -been under restraint for other reasons than plague since 23 June. The -mayoral feast was suppressed on 11 Oct. (Dasent, xxiii. 232). Access to -Hampton Court was restrained on 12 Oct. (<i>Procl.</i> 854). Michaelmas -term was deferred and finally<span class="pagenum" id="Page_348">[348]</span> transferred for a short session to -Hertford on 21 Oct. (<i>Procl.</i> 852, 855, 856). There appear to be -no statistics of deaths; those ordinarily given belong to 1593 (<i>vide -infra</i>). Suitors were still excluded from court on 13 Dec. (Dasent, -xxiii. 365), but thereafter there was some recovery, and the records in -Henslowe, i. 15, show that plays were permitted from 29 Dec. to 1 Feb. -1593, although no formal order is extant.</p> - -<p><i>1593.</i> This was a year of continuous plague (Creighton, i. 352). -The Privy Council warned the Lord Mayor on 21 Jan. that the increase -of deaths after some weeks of diminution required care (Dasent, xxiv. -21), and the Register shows preoccupation with the subject up to -August, when the record fails (ibid., 31, 163, 209, 212, 252, 265, -284, 342, 343, 347, 373, 400, 405, 413, 442, 443, 448, 472). Plays -were restrained on 28 Jan. Trinity term was deferred on 28 May and -Michaelmas term transferred for a short session to St. Albans on 24 -Sept. (<i>Procl.</i> 860, 865, 866). Bartholomew Fair (24 Aug.) was -strictly limited (<i>Procl.</i> 863). Access to court at Nonsuch was -restrained on 18 June and at Windsor on 15 Sept. (<i>Procl.</i> 861, -864). The statistics of deaths are puzzling. Stowe, <i>Annales</i>, -766, gives for the period from 29 Dec. 1592 (Friday) to 20 Dec. 1593 -(Thursday) 8,598 in all and 5,390 from plague within the walls, and -9,295 in all and 5,385 from plague in the liberties, totalling 17,893 -in all and 10,775 from plague. Camden (tr.), 423, gives a corresponding -total of 17,890. A marginal note to the printed bill of 1603 gives for -weeks ending 20 Dec. 1592 (Wednesday) to 23 Dec. 1593 (Sunday) 25,886 -in all and 15,003 from plague. Here are two divergent computations -for the same period, one of which deserts the Thursdays, to which we -know that earlier and later weekly bills related. Both are more or -less contemporary records. On the other hand, a series of broadsheets -(cited in Hull, ii. 426), followed by a table appended to Graunt’s -<i>Observations</i> (ibid.), give nearly the same figures (25,886 -and, not 15,003, but 11,503) as the totals of weekly figures for the -period from 17 March (Friday) to 22 Dec. (Friday), not of 1593, but -of 1592, and Graunt adopts these figures for March to Dec. 1592 in -the text of his <i>Observations</i> (Hull, ii. 363), while he adopts -17,844 and 10,662, which are approximately Stowe’s figures, for 1593. -As a matter of fact, the weekly figures given do not add up exactly -to 25,886 and 11,503; I make them (as does Hull, ii. 427) 26,407 and -11,106; Creighton, i. 354, makes the larger figure 25,817. Finally, -the anonymous <i>Reflections on the Bills of Mortality</i> (1665) give -25,886 and 11,503 as the totals for 13 March (Tuesday) to 18 Dec. -(Tuesday), not of 1592, but of 1593 again. The authority of these -<i>Reflections</i> is not great, and there is a discrepancy between -the period they take and that taken in the 1603 bill. But I do not see -how the detailed weekly figures of the broadsheets can belong to 1592. -The plague deaths are 3 on 17 March and 31 on 24 March. For the rest -of the year they only fall below 30 on 31 March, 7 April, 5 May, and -finally on 22 Dec. They reach 41 on 28 April, 58 on 26 May, and climb -to 118 on 30 June. There is a big jump to 927 on 7 July; they get to a -maximum of 983 on<span class="pagenum" id="Page_349">[349]</span> 4 Aug. and thereafter decline, dropping below 100 -from 24 Nov. and ending with 71 on 15 Dec. and 39 on 22 Dec. These -figures cannot apply to 1592, when plague only made its appearance -about August. On the other hand, the figures for 4 Aug. (1,503 and -983) and 29 Sept. (450 and 330) do not tally exactly, although they -do in general effect, with the 1,603 and 1,135 given as ‘the greatest -that came yet’ in Henslowe’s letter of Aug. 1593, or the 1,100 to -1,200 from plague, representing an abatement in two weeks of 435, in -his letter of 28 Sept. (<i>H. P.</i> 37, 40). On the whole, however, -I think that all the figures before us relate to 1593 and not 1592, -and that the ascription of the detailed tables to 1592 is due to the -fact that they begin with 17 March 159–2/3. Graunt similarly (Hull, -ii. 378) quotes 1593 and 1594, where he clearly means 1594 and 1595. -The discrepancies between Stowe and the tables are probably due to -the different number of parishes covered by different computations. -If the larger figures relate to an area wider than that of City and -liberties (cf. the P. C. order of 4 Aug. 1593 cited in the <i>Bibl. -Note</i>), we perhaps get also an answer to the view of Creighton, i. -354, and Hull, ii. 427, that they are neither of 1592 nor 1593, but -altogether spurious as representing an impossibly high rate of general -mortality for sixteenth-century London, even when allowance is made for -the unscientific nature of the ‘plague-tokens’ as a diagnosis and the -consequent increase in plague-time of deaths ascribed to other causes.</p> - -<p><i>1594.</i> As in 1592–3, the diminution of plague in December allowed -of a short winter play season. Henslowe, i. 16, records plays from 26 -Dec. to 6 Feb. A restraint was ordered on 3 Feb. It was still thought -necessary to inhibit access to court on 21 April (<i>Hatfield MSS.</i> -iv. 514), but the plague deaths for the year were only 421 (Graunt -in Hull, ii. 378; Bell, <i>London’s Remembrancer</i>). Plays began -tentatively in April and May and regularly in June (Henslowe, i. 17). -The systematization of City precautions was under consideration in the -autumn.</p> - -<p><i>1595.</i> There were only 29 plague deaths (Graunt, in Hull, ii. -378; Bell, <i>London’s Remembrancer</i>).</p> - -<p><i>1596.</i> Plays were restrained for fear of infection on 22 July, -but there is no other evidence of plague.</p> - -<p><i>1597–1600.</i> The tables show no plague deaths above 4 in any week.</p> - -<p><i>1601–2.</i> There is no evidence of plague.</p> - -<p><i>1603.</i> Plague broke out during April (<i>V. P.</i> x. 33). -Precautions were already being taken on 18 April (<i>Remembrancia</i>, -337). Plays had been restrained during the illness of Elizabeth on 19 -March and probably not resumed. The terms of the patent to the King’s -men on 19 May imply an existing restraint. The epidemic was a bad -one; for an account of it, cf. Creighton, i. 474, and Dekker, <i>The -Wonderful Year</i> (1603, <i>Works</i>, i. 100). The coronation was -shorn of its entry and other splendours, and speedy resort to the -country enjoined (<i>Procl.</i> 961, 964, 967). Bartholomew and other -fairs were suppressed or put off (<i>Procl.</i> 964, 968). Trinity -term was deferred on 23 June<span class="pagenum" id="Page_350">[350]</span> (<i>Procl.</i> 957) and Michaelmas -term deferred on 16 Sept, and transferred to Winchester on 18 Oct. -(<i>Procl.</i> 970, 973). Stowe, <i>Annales</i>, 857, gives the total -deaths in the City and liberties as 38,244, including 30,578 from -plague. Creighton, i. 478, calculates from the weekly tables that with -the addition of those suburbs for which records are available, these -figures must be increased to 42,945 and 33,347. The report of 60,000 -deaths, which Nicolo Molin (<i>V. P.</i> x. 126) found hard to believe, -was obviously an exaggeration. The weekly plague bill for the City and -liberties reached 30 on 26 May, 43 on 9 June, and rose very rapidly -from the end of the month, reaching a maximum of 2,495, with 542 for -the recorded suburbs, on 1 Sept. On 22 Dec. the plague deaths for City, -liberties, and the suburbs henceforward included in the City lists (120 -parishes in all) was still 74. Nicolo Molin’s statements on 5 Dec. that -the plague had almost disappeared, and on 15 Dec. that it was never -mentioned (<i>V. P.</i> x. 124, 126), must have been optimistic.</p> - -<p><i>1604.</i> Nicolo Molin (<i>V. P.</i> x. 132 sqq.) records the -totals of the bills (probably a week or so late) in despatches from -26 Jan. to 23 Oct. He gives 15 on 26 Jan. and 27 for the City only -on 8 Feb., and thereafter 20 is only reached in a few weeks of May, -August, and September; 30 never. On 23 Oct. there had only been 6 in -the last fortnight, and ‘as that is nothing out of the common, I will -not make any further reports on this subject’ (<i>V. P.</i> x. 190). -A play restraint was removed on 9 April, but the reason given was the -expiration of Lent, and it is not impossible that the theatres may -have been open before Lent, which began on 22 Feb. The warrant of 8 -Feb., however, for a special royal subsidy to the King’s men (App. B) -suggests that they were still unable to perform in public on that date.</p> - -<p><i>1605.</i> Creighton, i. 493, says there was ‘not much’ plague; but -a letter of 12 Oct. (Winwood, ii. 140) notes a ‘sudden rising of the -sickness to thirty a week’, followed by some abatement, and there was a -restraint of plays for infection on 5 Oct. which was removed on 15 Dec.</p> - -<p><i>1606.</i> This was a year of plague. The deaths reached 33 on -10 July and 50 on 17 July, rose to a maximum of 141 on 2 Oct., and -remained, but for one or two weeks, above 40 to 4 Dec. and above 30 to -the end of the year.

Tal’ hor si vede strani animali entro de i -quali son huomini, et fanciulli, atteggiando, saltando, et correndo -cosi bene, che non e senza merauiglia de riguardanti, le quai tutte -cose dan tanto di contentezza a l’ hocchio, et a l’ animo, che cosa -materiale, fatta da l’ arte, non si potria imaginare piu bella; et di -quelle cose poi che siamo in proposito de l’ arte della perspettiua, -io ne trattaro alquanto. Pure quantunque questo modo di perspettiua -di ch’ io parlaro sia diuerso dalle regole passate, per essere quelle -imaginate sopra li parieti piani: et questa per essere materiale et -di rilieuo e ben ragione a tenere altra strada. Primieramente per il -commune vso si fa vn suolo leuato da terra quanto l’ hocchio nostro; -cioe dalla parte dauanti et di dietro si fa piu alto la nona parte, -partendo in noue parti tutto il piano, et vna di quelle. Sia leuato -il detto suolo dalla parte di drieto verso l’ orizonte, et sia ben -piano et forte per causa delle moresche. Questa pendentia io l’ ho -trouata commoda con la esperientia, perche in Vicenza (citta molto -ricca et pomposissima fra l’ altre d’ Italia) io feci vno Theatro, et -vna scena di legname, perauentura, anzi senza dubio, la magiore che -a nostri tempi si sia fatta, doue per li merauigliosi intermedij che -vi accadeuano, cioe carette, Elefanti, et diuerse moresche, io volsi -che dauanti la scena pendente vi fosse vn suolo piano, la latitudine -del quale fu piede xij, et in longitudine piedi lx, doue io trouai tal -cosa ben commoda, et di grande aspetto. Questo primo suolo essendo -piano, lo suo pauimento non vbidiua a l’ orizonte, ma li suoi quadri -furono perfetti, et al cominciare dal piano pendente tutti quei quadri -andauano a l’ orizonte ilche con la sua debita distantia sminui. Et -perche alcuni han posto l’ orizonte a l’ ultimo pariete che termina la -scena, il qual e necessario metterlo sul proprio suolo al nascimento -di esso pariete, doue dimostra che tutti li casamenti se adunano, io -mi sono imaginato di trapassare piu la con l’ orizonte, la qual cosa -mi e cosi bene reuscita, che a fare tal cose ho sempre tenuto questa -strada, et cosi consiglio coloro che di tal arte se diletterano, a -tener questo camino, como nella seguente carta dimostraro, et come ne -ho trattato qui adietro nel profilo del Theatro, et della Scena. Et -perche gli apparati delle comedie sono di tre maniere, cioe la Comica, -la Tragica, et la Satyrica, io trattaro al presente de la comica, i -casamenti della quale voglion essere di personagi priuati, liquali -apparati per la maggior parte si fanno al coperto in qualche sala, che -nel capo di essa vi sia camere per la commodita de i dicitori, et iui -si fa lo suolo come qui piu a dietro io dissi, e ne dimostrai lo suo -profilo, et qui alianti dimostrero la pianta.

Et perche a far questo -saria necessario a rompere esso muro, ilche non si puo fare, io ho -sempre fatto vno modello piccolo di cartoni et legnami, ben misurato -et traportato poi in grande di cosa in cosa giustamente con facilita. -Ma questa lettione forsi ad alcuno sara difficile, nondimeno sara -necessario faticarsi nel far de modelli et esperientie, che studiando -trouara la via.

Et perche tutte le mie scene ho -fatte sopra li telari, ci sonno tal volta alcune difficulta, che e ben -necessario a seruirsi del rilieuo di legname, come quello edificio -al lato sinistro, li pilastri del quale posano sopra vn basamento -con alcuni gradi. In questo caso sara da fare il detto basamento di -basso rilieuo, leuato sopra lo piano, et poi si faran li due telari, -cioe quello in faccia, et<span class="pagenum" id="Page_361">[361]</span> quello in scurtio; et stano solamente fin -alla summita del parapetto, che e sopra li primi archi. Hora perche -gli archi secondi se ritirano per dar luoco al parapetto, cosi li dua -telari di sopra si ritiraranno: di maniera che tal opera verra bene, et -quello ch’ io dico di questo edificio se intende anchora de gli altri, -quando qualche parti si ritireranno, massimamente di quei casamenti -che sono qua dauanti. Ma quando tai cose fussero di lontano, vn telaro -solo seruiria, facendo tutte le parti ben lineate, et ben colorite. -Circa alli lumi artificiati, s’ e detto a bastanza nella scena comica. -Tutte le superficie sopra li tetti, come saria camini, campanili, et -cose simili (benché quiui non vi siano) se faranno sopra vna tauola -sottile, tagliati intorno, ben lineati et coloriti. Similmente qualche -statue finte di marmo o di bronzo si faranno di grosso cartone, o -pur di tauola sottile, ben ombregiate et tagliate intorno; poi si -metteranno alli suoi luochi, ma siano talmente disposti, et lontani che -i spettatori non le possino vedere per fianco. In queste Scene, benche -alcuni hanno dipinto qualche personagi che rappresentano il viuo, come -saria vna femina ad vn balcone, o drento d’ una porta, etiamdio qualche -animale,<span class="pagenum" id="Page_362">[362]</span> queste cose non consiglio che si faccino, perche non hanno -il moto et pure rappresentano il viuo; ma qualche persona che dorma a -bon proposito, ouero qualche cane o altro animale che dorma, perche non -hanno il moto. Anchora si possono accomodare qualche statue, o altre -cose finte di marmo, o d’ altra materia, o alcuna hystoria, o fabula -dipinta sopra vn pariete, che io lodaro sempre si faccia cosi. Ma nel -rappresentare cose viue lequali habbino il moto, ne l’ estremo di -questo libro ne trattaro, et daro il modo come s’ abbino a fare.</p> - - <div class="figcenter" id="i_362"> - <p class="p2 sm center">(<i>E</i>)</p> - <img - class="p0" - src="images/i_362.jpg" - alt="" /> - <p class="p0 sm center">ELEVATION OF A <i>SCENA SATYRICA</i></p> - </div> - - -<h4><i>Della Scena Satyrica.</i></h4> - -<p>[f. 30] La Scena Satyrica e per rappresentar satyre, nelle quali se -riprendono (anzi vero se mordeno) tutti coloro che licentiosamente -viuono, et senza rispetto nelle satyre antiche erano quasi mostrati -a dito gli huomini viciosi et mal viuenti. Perho tal licentia si -puo comprendere che fusse concessa a personaggi che senza rispetto -parlassero, come saria a dire gente rustica, percioche Vitruuio -trattando delle scene, vuole che questa sia ornata di arbori, sassi, -colli,<span class="pagenum" id="Page_363">[363]</span> montagne, herbe, fiori, et fontane, vuole anchora che vi -siano alcune capanne alla rustica, come qui appresso se dimostra. Et -perche a tempi nostri queste cose per il piu delle volte si fanno -la inuernata, doue pochi arbori et herbe con fiori se ritrouano, si -potran bene artificiosamente fare cose simili di seta lequali saranno -anchora piu lodate che le naturali; percioche, cosi come nelle Scene -Comiche et Tragiche se imitano li casamenti et altri edificij, con -l’ artificio della pittura, cosi anchora in questa si potran bene -imitare gli arbori et l’ herbe co fiori. Et queste cose quanto saranno -di maggior spesa tanto piu lodeuoli saranno, perche (nel vero) son -proprie di generosi magnanimi, et richi signori, nemici della bruta -Auaritia. Questo gia vidiro gli occhi mei in alcune scene ordinate da -l’ intendente Architetto Girolamo Genga, ad instantia del suo padrone -Francesco Maria Duca di Vrbino, doue io compresi tanta liberalita nel -prence, tanto giuditio et arte l’ Arcitetto, et tanta bellezza nelle -cose strutte, quanto in altra opera fatta da l’ arte che da me sia -stata veduta giamai. (O Dio immortale) che magnificentia era quella di -veder tanti arbori et frutti, tante herbe et fiori diuersi, tutte cose -fatte di finissima seta di variati colori, le ripe et i sassi copiosi -de diuerse conche marine, di limache et altri animaletti, di tronchi -di coralli di piu colori, di matre perle, et di granchi marini inserti -ne i sassi, con tanta diuersita di cose belle; che a volerle scriuere -tutte, io sarei troppo longo in questa parte. Io non diro de i satyri, -delle Nymphe, delle syrene, et diuersi monstri o animali strani, fatti -con tal artificio, che aconzi sopra gli huomini et fanciulli secondo la -grandezza loro, et quelli, andando et mouendosi secondo la sua natura, -rappresentauano essi animali viui. Et se non ch’ io sarei troppo -prolisso, io narrarei gli habiti superbi di alcuni pastori, fatti di -ricchi drappi d’ oro et di seta, foderati di finissime pelle d’ animali -seluatichi. Direi anchora de i vestimenti d’ alcuni pescatori, liquali -non furono men ricchi de gli altri, le rete de i quali erano di fila -d’ oro fino, et altri suoi stromenti tutti dorati. Direi di alcune -pastorelle et Nymphe, gli habiti delle quali sprezauano l’ Auaritia. -Ma io lassaro tutte queste cose ne gli intelletti de i giudiciosi -Architetti: liquali faranno sempre di queste cose, quando trouaranno -simili padroni conformi alle lor voglie, gli et donanti piena licentia, -con larga mano, di operare tutto quello che vorranno.</p> - - -<h4><i>Di Lumi arteficiali delle Scene.</i></h4> - -<p>[f. 31] Ho promesso piu adietro negli trattati delle scene, di dare il -modo come si fanno i lumi artificiali di variati colori transparenti; -perche primieramente diro del colore celeste, il quale rappresenta il -zafiro et ancho assai piu bello. Prendi vn pezzo di sale ammoniaco, et -habbi vn bacile da barbiere o altro vaso di ottone, mettendogli drento -vn detto di aqua. Poi questo pezzo di sale va ben fregando nel fondo, -et intorno questo bacile, tanto che ’l se consumi tutto: agiungendoli -de l’ aqua tuttauia, et quando vorrai piu quantita di questa aqua, -et che ’l colore sia piu bello, fa maggiore la quantita del sale -ammoniaco. Fatto adonque vno bacile pieno di questa aqua falla passare -per il feltro in vno altro vaso, et questa sara di color<span class="pagenum" id="Page_364">[364]</span> celeste -bellissimo. Ma volendolo piu chiaro vi agiungerai de l’ aqua pura, -cosi di questo sol colore ne farai di molti piu chiari et piu scuri -quanto vorrai; et se di questa medesima aqua zafrina vorrai fare colore -di Smeraldo, mettili drento alquanto di zaffarano, tanto piu o meno, -secondo che la vorrai piu oscura o piu chiara. Di queste cose non ti do -le proportioni; ma con la esperientia ne farai di piu forte o chiare -o pur oscure. Se vorrai fare del colore di Rubino, se sarai in luoco -doue siano vini vermigli carichi di colore et chiaretti: questi faranno -di rubin maturi et gai cioe acerbi, et se non hauerai de vini, prendi -del vergine tagliato in pezzeti, mettendolo in vna caldara piena d’ -aqua, con alquanto di alume di rocha, et la farai bolire spiumandola, -et poi passare pel feltro, et agiungendoli aqua pura se vorrai colore -piu chiaro; et se vorai colore di Balasso, il vino goro, bianco, et -vermiglio insieme, fara tal colore. Cosi anchora li vini bianchi piu -et meno carichi faran colore de Griso passo, et di Thopasso. Ma (senza -dubio alcuno) l’ aqua pura passata pel feltro contrafara li Diamanti. -Pure, per farli, sara necessario adoperare alcune forme in punta, et -in tauola, et alla fornace de i vetri fare delle bozze che prendano -tal forma, et quelle impire d’ aqua. Ma il modo de disporre questi -colori transparenti sara questo. Sara di dietro alle cose dipinte, -doue anderanno questi colori, vna tauola sottile traforata nel modo -che saran compartiti questi lumi, sotto laquale sara un’ altra tauola -per sostenere le bozze di vetro piene di queste aque; poi dette bozze -si metteranno con la parte piu curua appoggiate a quei buchi, et bene -assicurate che non caschino per i strepiti delle moresche; et dietro le -bozze si mettera vno cesendelo, overo lampada, accio lo lume sia sempre -equale; et selle bozze verso la lampada saranno piane anzi concaue, -riceueranno meglio la luce, et li colori saranno piu transparenti, -cosi anchora per quei tondi liquali saranno in scurtio sara da fare -le bozze di quella sorte. Ma se accadra tal fiata vn lume grande et -gagliardo, sara da metterui di dietro vna torza, dopo laquale sia vn -bacile da barbiere ben lucido et nuovo, la reflettione del quale fara -certi splendori, come di raggi del sole. Et se alcuni luochi saranno -quadri come mandola, o altre forme, si prendera delle piastre di vetri -di variati colori posti a quei luochi col suo lume di dietro. Ma questi -lumi non saran (perho) quelli che allumineranno la scena, percioche -gran coppia di torze si metteno pendente dauanti alla scena. Si potra -anchora su per la scena mettere alcuni candelieri con torze sopra, ed -anchora sopra essi candelieri vi sia vn vaso pieno di acqua, drento -laquale metterai vn pezzo di camphora, loquale ardendo fa bellissimo -lume, et e odorifero. Alcuna fiata accadera a dimostrare qualche cosa -che abbruscia (sia che si voglia); si bagnara benissimo di aqua vite -della piu potente, et apizatogli lo fuoco con vna candeletta: ardera -per vn pezzo. Et ben che quanto alli fuochi si potra dire assai piu, -voglio questo sia basteuole per presente. Ma parliamo di alcune cose -lequali sono di gran diletto a spettatori. Mentre la scena e vota -de dicitori, potra l’ Arcitetto hauer preparato alcune ordinanze -di figurette, di quella grandezza che si ricercara dove hauranno a -passare, et queste saranno<span class="pagenum" id="Page_365">[365]</span> di grosso cartone colorite et tagliate -intorno, lequali posaranno sopra vn regolo di legno a trauerso la -scena, doue sia qualche arco, fatto sopra il suolo vno incastro a -coda di Rondina, entro lo quale si mettera detto regolo; et cosi -pianamente vna persona dietro al detto arco le fara passare, et tal -fiata dimostrare che siano musici con istrumenti et voci, onde dietro -alla scena sara vna musica a somissa voce. Tal volta fara correre vn -squadrone di gente chi a piedi et chi a cauallo, lequali con alcune -voci o gridi sordi, strepiti di tamburi, et suono di trombe, pascono -molto gli spettatori. Et se tal volta accadera che vno Pianeta, o altra -cosa per aria si vegga passare, sia ben dipinta quella cosa in cartone -et tagliata intorno; poi dietro la scena (cioe a gli vltimi casamenti) -sia tirato a trauerso vn filo di ferro sottile, et con alcuni aneletti -in esso filo attacati dietro il cartone, nel quale sia un filo negro, -et da l’ altro lato sara vna persona che pian piano lo tirara a se, -ma sara di forte lontano, che ne l’ uno ne l’ altro filo sara veduto. -Tal fiata accadera tuoni, lampi et folgori a qualche proposito; li -tuoni cosi si faranno. Sempre (come ho detto) le scene si fanno nel -capo di vna sala, sopra laquale gli e sempre vn suolo, sopra del -quale si fara correre vna grossa balla di pietra, laquale fara bene -il tuono. Lo lampo cosi si fara. Sara vno dietro alla scena in luoco -alto, hauendo nella mano vna scatoletta, entro laquale vi sia polue di -vernice: et il coperchio sia pieno di busi: nel mezzo del coperchio -sara vna candeletta accesa: et alzando in su la mano, quella polue -salira in alto, et perchuotera nella candela accesa, di maniera che -fara lampi assai bene. Circo al folgore, sara tirato vn filo di ferro -lontano a trauerso la scena, che descenda a basso, entro del quale -sara aconcio vn rochetto, o raggio, che si sia, ma questo sara ornato -di oro stridente, et mentre si fara lo tuono, nel finir di quello sia -scaricata vna coda, et nel medesimo tempo dato il fuoco al folgore, et -fara buono effetto. Ma s’ io volessi trattare di quante cose similimi -abbondano, io saria troppo longho; pero faccio fine quanto alla -perspettiua.</p> - - -<hr class="chap x-ebookmaker-drop" /> - -<div class="chapter"> - -<h2 class="smaller">APPENDIX H<br /> -<span class="subhed">THE GULL’S HORNBOOK</span></h2></div> - -<div class="blockquot"> - -<p>[Chapter vi from T.

Your Gallant, your -Courtier, and your Capten, had wont to be the soundest paymaisters, -and I thinke are still the surest chapmen: and these by meanes that -their heades are well stockt, deale vpon this comical freight by the -grosse: when your <i>Groundling</i>, and <i>Gallery Commoner</i> buyes -his sport by the penny, and, like a <i>Hagler</i>, is glad to vtter it -againe by retailing.</p> - -<p>Sithence then the place is so free in entertainment, allowing a stoole -as well to the Farmers sonne as to your Templer: that your Stinkard has -the selfe same libertie to be there in his Tobacco-Fumes, which your -sweet Courtier hath: and that your Car-man and Tinker claime as strong -a voice in their suffrage, and sit to giue iudgement on the plaies life -and death, as well as the prowdest <i>Momus</i> among the tribe of -<i>Critick</i>: It is fit that hee, whom the most tailors bils do make -roome for, when he comes should not be basely (like a vyoll) casd vp in -a corner.</p> - -<p>Whether therefore the gatherers of the publique or priuate Playhouse -stand to receiue the after-noones rent, let our Gallant (hauing paid -it) presently aduance himselfe vp to the Throne of the Stage.

In <i>Have With You to -Saffron-Walden</i> (1596) he says, ‘Ile fetch him aloft in -Pedantius, that exquisite Comedie in Trinitie Colledge; where, -vnder the cheife part, from which it tooke his name, as namely -the concise and firking finicaldo fine School-master, hee was -full drawen & delineated from the soale of the foote to the -crowne of his head’, and goes on to enumerate the principal -traits of Harvey touched off by the actors, who ‘borrowed -his gowne to playe the Part in, the more to flout him’ -(<i>Works</i>, iii. 80). So far, we are left a little uncertain -whether the main authorship is to be ascribed, with Nashe in -<i>Strange News</i>, to Anthony Wingfield, or, with the <i>Caius -MS.</i>, to Edward Forsett, both of whom were Fellows of Trinity -in 1581. Moore Smith has, however, shown in <i>T. L. S.</i> -(10 Oct. 1918) that Forsett refers to ‘Pedantio meo’ in the -epistle to an unprinted <i>Concio</i> of his among the MSS. -of St. John’s, Cambridge. For an absurd attempt to assign the -authorship to Bacon, largely on the ground of some non-existent -pigs in the title-page border, cf. E. A. [E. G. Harman], <i>The -Shakespeare Problem</i> (1909), and <i>T. L. S.</i> (27 March, -17 April, 1 May, 1919). Modern ascriptions to Thomas Beard and -to Walter Hawkesworth seem to rest on misunderstandings.</p> -</div> - -<p><i>Perfidus Hetruscus.</i></p> - -<div class="blockquot"> - -<p><i>Bodl.

Some of the later plays are only -included in deference to the conjectures of others as to their -early origin in whole or in part. The list is little more than -an index; details must be sought in chh. xxiii and xxiv. I think -it is nearly self-explanatory. The plays marked T. in col. 1 are -those of which the first entry in the Register is in connexion -with a transfer of copyright; the name in col. 4 is then that -of the transferrer. Titles of non-extant plays are marked with -inverted commas in col. 3; some of them (cf. App. M) may not -really relate to plays at all. The symbol (s) in col. 6 is used -where the imprint indicates, not that a play is printed ‘for’ a -stationer, but that it is ‘to be sold by’ a stationer; it is not -quite clear how far the two formulae are equivalent. The most -important notes in col. 7 are those in italics, which indicate -direct evidence afforded by the entry or first title-page as -to companies by which the plays had been acted. I have added -from other sources additional ascriptions which seem certain -or reasonably probable, and sometimes omitted even title-page -evidence where it obviously relates to production by a company -of later origin than 1616. The notes in col. 8 must not be -taken as attributions of authorship, but merely as guides to -the relevant sections in ch. xxiii or to ch. xxiv. The brackets -in this column indicate that the plays, being pre-Elizabethan, -are dealt with in App. X of <i>The Mediaeval Stage</i>. Some -statistics, based on this list, of the output of plays from the -Elizabethan press, will be found in ch. xxii.]</p> -</div> - -<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_380">[380]</span></p> - -<table summary="plays" class="sm"> - <tr> - <td class="ctr"><span class="smcap">Date of<br />Entry.</span></td> - <td class="ctr"><span class="smcap">Date of<br />Print.</span></td> - <td class="ctr"><span class="smcap">Title.</span></td> - <td class="ctr"><span class="smcap">Enterer.</span></td> - <td class="ctr"><span class="smcap">Printer.</span></td> - <td class="ctr"><span class="smcap">Publisher.</span></td> - <td class="ctr"><span class="smcap">Source.</span></td> - <td class="ctr"><span class="smcap">Author.</span></td> - </tr> - - <tr> - <td class="ctr">(1)</td> - <td class="ctr">(2)</td> - <td class="ctr">(3)</td> - <td class="ctr">(4)</td> - <td class="ctr">(5)</td> - <td class="ctr">(6)</td> - <td class="ctr">(7)</td> - <td class="ctr">(8)</td> - </tr> - - <tr> - <td class="cht">1557–8</td> - <td class="ctr"><span class="allsmcap">N.D.</span></td> - <td class="cht">Wealth and Health</td> - <td class="cht">J.

These are mainly taken -either from the Stationers’ Register or from the publishers’ -advertisement lists (Rogers and Ley’s in 1656, Archer’s in -1656, Kirkman’s in 1661 and 1671), analysed by W. W. Greg in an -appendix to his <i>Masques</i> (1902). One is included in Sir -John Harington’s catalogue of his library of plays apparently -compiled in 1610 (cf. ch. xxii). Probably some of the registered -titles, in which the description ‘play’ or ‘interlude’ is not -used, do not relate to plays at all. I might have added a few -more of this type from A. Esdaile, <i>List of English Tales and -Romances</i> (1912, <i>Bibl. Soc.</i>), xxxiii. And it must be -borne in mind that registration is not proof of publication. -In particular, it is pretty clear that the two long series of -entries by Humphrey Moseley on 9 Sept. 1653 and 29 June 1660, -from which I have taken those conceivably relating to pre-1616 -work, represent unaccomplished enterprises. They are fully -discussed in W. W. Greg, <i>The Bakings of Betsy</i> (1911, -<i>3 Library</i>, ii. 225), together with John Warburton’s -(<i>ob.</i> 1759) list in <i>Lansd. MS.</i> 807, f. 1, of plays -which he claims to have possessed in MS., until ‘through my -own carelesness and the ignorance of my ser[vant] in whose -hands I had lodgd them they was unluckely burnd or put under -Pye bottoms’.

Most of the Latin plays (cf. App. K) also exist in MS. -The English ones so preserved are generally of an academic -type; on the general character of the few that are of playhouse -origin, cf. ch. xxii. Of the fifteen play texts collected in -<i>Egerton MS.</i> 1994, only three appear to be of plays -written before 1616; descriptions of this collection are in -A. H. Bullen, <i>O. E. P.</i> ii. 417, and F. S. Boas, <i>A -Seventeenth-Century Theatrical Repertoire</i> (<i>3 Library</i>, -July 1917). In addition to the plays named below, there are a -<i>Pelopidarum Secunda</i> in <i>Harleian MS.</i> 5110, which -may be of any date in the first half of the seventeenth century, -and a Welsh ‘enterlut’, dated 1584 and without ascription or -title in <i>Peniarth MS.</i> 68 (<i>H. M. C. Welsh MSS.</i> i. -2. 467). A full account of the Plots (‘plott’ ‘plotte’, ‘platt’) -is given, with the seven texts, by Greg, <i>Henslowe Papers</i>, -127. They have sometimes been taken for ‘<i>scenarie</i>’ of -impromptu plays, like the Italian ‘Commedie dell’arte’, although -one of them is for the extant <i>Battle of Alcazar</i>; but -they were probably for the use of the ‘bookholder’ or the -‘tireman’, and consist of skeleton outlines of the action, -with notes of entrances and exits, and of the points at which -properties and music are required. The names of the dramatis -personae are generally accompanied by those of the actors who -represented them. The paper on which they are written is mounted -on pasteboard, and a hole cut near the top probably served to -suspend them on a peg in the playhouse. All seven probably -belong to companies (Strange’s and Admiral’s) with which -Edward Alleyn was connected. One was utilized for the cover of -a Dulwich MS., and G. Steevens, who once owned three of the -others, found ‘reason to suppose that these curiosities once -belonged to the collection of Alleyn’.]</p> -</div> - - -<h3>PLAYS</h3> - -<div class="blockquot"> - -<p class="hangingindent"><i>Alaham</i> (Greville).
