- NOTE
-
-
-I have found it convenient, especially in Appendix A, to use the symbol
-< following a date, to indicate an uncertain date not earlier than that
-named, and the symbol > followed by a date, to indicate an uncertain
-date not later than that named. Thus 1903 < > 23 would indicate the
-composition date of any part of this book. I have sometimes placed the
-date of a play in italics, where it was desirable to indicate the date
-of production rather than publication.
-
-The documents from J. R. Dasent, _Acts of the Privy Council_
-(1890–1907), are reprinted by permission of the Controller of His
-Majesty’s Stationery Office.

- ANONYMOUS WORK
-
-
-[Here I bring together, giving them the same treatment as the
-individual works in ch. xxiii, pieces of which the authorship, as
-regards the whole or a large part, is unknown or conjectural. They are
-grouped as (A) Plays, (B) Masks, (C) Receptions and Entertainments. It
-has been convenient, for the sake of classification, to include in the
-third group a few which might alternatively have been brought into ch.
-xxiii under the name of a part-author or describer.]
-
-
- A. PLAYS
-
-
- _An Alarum for London > 1600_
-
-_S. R._ 1600, May 27. ‘Allarum to London’ is included in a memorandum
-of ‘my lord chamberlens menns plaies Entred’ and noted as entered on
-this day to J. Roberts (Arber, iii. 37).
-
-1600, May 29. ‘The Allarum to London, provided that yt be not printed
-without further Aucthoritie.’ _John Roberts_ (Arber, iii. 161).
-
-1602. A Larum for London, or The Siedge of Antwerpe. With the ventrous
-actes and valorous deeds of the lame Soldier. As it hath been playde by
-the right Honorable the Lord Chamberlaine his Seruants. _For William
-Ferbrand._ [Prologue and Epilogue.]
-
-_Editions_ by R. Simpson (1872), J. S. 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. R._ 1565–6. ‘A play intituled a merye playe bothe pytthy and
-pleasaunt of Albyon knyghte.’ _Thomas Colwell_ (Arber, i. 295).
-
-Fragment in Devonshire collection.
-
-[The t.p. is lost, but the seventeenth-century play lists (Greg,
-_Masques_, xlvii) include an interlude called _Albion_. 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. Wherin is shewed
-the great mallice and discimulation of a wicked woman, the vnsatiable
-desire of filthie lust and the shamefull end of all murderers. _For
-Edward White._ [Epilogue.]
-
-1599. _J. Roberts for Edward White._
-
-1633. _Eliz. Allde._
-
-_Editions_ by E. Jacob (1770), A. H. Bullen (1887), R. Bayne
-(1897, _T. D._), J. S. Farmer (1911, _T. F. T._), and in _Sh.
-Apocrypha_.--_Dissertations_: C. E. Donne, _Essay on the Tragedy of
-A. of F._ (1873); C. 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. MS._ 28722. ‘The birthe of hercules.’ [Prologus
-Laureatus; Mercurius Prologus; after text, ‘Testamentum poetae, ad
-peleum. Comoedarum pariter et histrionum princeps Peleu, tuo pro
-iudicio, volo hanc meam Comoediam, vel recitari, vel reticeri: hoc est:
-aut vivere aut mori. Scripsi, nec poeta, nec moriens: et tamen poeta
-moriens’. Written in one hand, with stage-directions by a second and
-corrections by a third and possibly a fourth, on paper datable by the
-watermark in 1597.]
-
-_Editions_ by M. W. Wallace (1903) and R. W. 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. Bond thinks that ‘the styles of composition and
-writing agree in placing a date before 1600 out of the question’.
-
-
- _Caesar’s Revenge > 1606_
-
-_S. R._ 1606, June 5. ‘A booke called Julius Caesars reuenge.’ _J.
-Wright and N. Fosbrook_, licensed by Dr. Covell and the wardens (Arber,
-iii. 323).
-
-N.D. The Tragedie of Caesar and Pompey Or Caesars Reuenge. _G. E. for
-Iohn Wright._
-
-1607.... Priuately acted by the Studentes of Trinity Colledge in
-Oxford. _For Nathaniel Fosbrook and Iohn Wright._ [Re-issue with cancel
-t.p.]
-
-_Editions_ by F. S. Boas (1911, _M. S. R._) and W. 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. Ayres, _C. R._ (1915, _M. L. A._
-xxx. 771); G. C. Moore Smith, _The Tragedy of C. R._ (1916, 12 _N. 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. At the end is the note, ‘Nella Φ δ Φ ν ρ la
-B’ = ‘Nella fedeltà finirò la vita’.
-
-_Editions_ by A. H. Bullen (1884, _O. E. P._ iii) and F. L. Schoell
-(1920).--_Dissertation_: F. L. 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

-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

-
-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.

-
-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).

-
-Fleay, ii. 321, suggests a date _c._ 1602 on the ground of apparent

-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.

-
-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). _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 epistle says ‘I commende to your freendly viewe this prettie
-Conceit, as well for the inuention, as the delicate conueiance thereof:
-not doubting but you will so esteeme thereof, as it dooth very well
-deserue, and I hartely desire’. 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.

-
-Sussex’s men revived the play for Henslowe on 29 Dec. 1593 (Greg,
-_Henslowe_, ii. 158). The Chatsworth copy has on the title-page the
-following notes in two early seventeenth-century hands: ‘Written by
-... a minister, who ac[ted] the piñers p̄t in it himself. Teste W.
-Shakespea[re]’, and ‘Ed Iuby saith that the play was made by Ro.
-Gree[ne]’. These, though first produced by Collier, appear (_M. S.
-C._ i. 288) to be genuine. Greene’s authorship has been very commonly
-accepted. Fleay, i. 264, ii. 51, supposed first Greene and Peele, then
-added Lodge, but, although the text has been abridged, there is no
-evidence of double authorship. Oliphant’s suggestion (_M. P._ viii.
-433) of revision by Heywood only rests on the inclusion of the play
-next his in the Cockpit list of 1639 (_Variorum_, iii. 159). R. B.
-McKerrow thinks (_M. S. C._ i. 289) that the ‘by Ro. Greene’ of the
-note may mean ‘about Ro. Greene’ as a leading incident is apparently
-based on an episode of Greene’s life. An allusion in I. i. 42 to
-_Tamburlaine_ gives an anterior limit of date.

-
-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.

-
-Of I. T. nothing is known. 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.

-
-In _Tarlton’s Jests_ (ed. 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;

-
-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:
-

-
-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. Furnivall, 30).

-
-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. For v. 102–14, which bears on the history of the company,

-The ascription by Fleay, ii. 27, and Sarrazin to Kyd is rejected on

-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_. It must be uncertain
-whether _1 Jeronimo_ was the ‘Komödie vom König in Spanien und dem
-Vice-Roy in Portugall’ given at Dresden in 1626 (Herz, 66, 76).

-The authorship was assigned by Malone to Marlowe, by Pope to

-They do not claim to be a prologue, and may have been added on

-Strange’s men produced ‘the Knacke to Knowe a Knave’ on 10 June 1592,
-and played it seven times to 24 Jan. 1593. Henslowe usually enters it
-as ‘the cnacke’. Fleay, 100, suggests that the _Osric_, revived by
-the Admiral’s men on 3 and 7 Feb. 1597, may also be this play. Both
-Fleay, ii. 310, and Greg, _Henslowe_, ii. 156, suggest that Kempe’s
-‘merriments’ are to be found in sc. 12, and that of the rest the

-
-The Queen’s and Sussex’s revived ‘kinge leare’ for Henslowe on 6 and
-8 April 1594, shortly before the first S. 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.

-The trial (l. 1261) is for an alleged crime on 4 Feb., 43 Eliz. (1601),
-and the next court performance after this date was on 22 Feb. 1601 by
-the Chapel, to which occasion the production may be assigned. 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

-
-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.

-Shakespeare’s authorship is accepted by few modern critics. An
-exception is Hopkinson. Fleay, _Shakespeare_, 299; _B. C._ i. 152,
-thinks that he may have ‘plotted’ the play, but that the writer is
-the same as that of _Thomas Lord Cromwell_, whom he believes to be
-Drayton. Perhaps he is right in regarding an allusion to service ‘under

-At the end of the play Gloucester proposes to fight the Saracens in
-Portugal, and as Anthony Wadeson (q.v.) was writing _The Honourable
-Life of the Humorous Earl of Gloster with his Conquest of Portugal_ in
-June or July 1601, it has been suggested by Fleay, ii. 267, and Greg,
-_Henslowe_, ii. 204, that Wadeson was also the author of _Look About
-You_. 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. There are reminiscences of _R.J._ II. iv. 42;

-
-Fleay, ii. 26, assigns the play to Kyd on account of the similarity
-of the plot to that of _Soliman and Perseda_, but this is hardly
-convincing. 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

-
-The text is a fragment, but there may have been more, as the original
-fly-leaves and end papers of the volume are gone. Sir G. F. 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. The Jacobean activity of Anabaptism and Familism only
-revived movements which had been familiar in England from Edwardian
-times, were particularly vigorous in 1575, and had apparently died down

-
-Archer’s play list of 1656 (Greg, _Masques_, lxxxvi) started an
-ascription to Lyly, which was probably suggested by the similarity
-of name to _Love’s Metamorphosis_. 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

-
-B. Dobell, in _Athenaeum_ for 14 Sept. 1901, described a MS. in his
-possession with the title A Register of all the Noble Men of England
-sithence the Conquest Created. The date of compilation is probably
-1570–90. 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. It was classical in manner
-with five acts, a chorus, and dumb-shows. Act I opened with a dumb-show
-before Melpomene of the Fates, Althea and the burning brand. It seems
-distinct from the _Meleager_ of W. Gager (q.v.).

-
-Moseley’s attribution was repeated in the play lists of Archer in 1656
-and Kirkman in 1661 (Greg, _Masques_, lxxxix), and the play was bound
-with _Mucedorus_ and _Fair Em_ as ‘Shakespeare, vol. i’ in Charles II’s
-library. 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). Jonson calls
-it ‘your dear delight’ in the prologue to _The Devil is an Ass_ (1616),
-and it was revived at court on 3 May 1618 (Cunningham, xlv).

-and Laurence Johnson_ (1901, _J. G. 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. D.
-Eliz._ 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 (_S. P. D. Eliz._ ciii. 24). Finally a Laurence Johnson engraved
-plates in 1603 (_D. N. B._).

-also used for that of Munday’s _John a Kent and John a Cumber_. 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. Tyllney’.
-Whether Greg is right in calling this a ‘conditional licence’ I am not
-sure, but he corrects earlier writers by pointing out that the extant
-insertions do not carry out Tilney’s instructions, and were probably
-made before the play reached him. 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.]

-
-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. Goodal’s name proves nothing as to this.

-
-It is difficult to date with precision the revival for which the
-additions printed in the Q. of 1610 (1610/1?) were written, especially
-as the genuineness of the Q. of 1609, in which Collier stated that he
-found these additions, cannot be verified, since the accounts of the
-Treasurer of the Chamber do not specify the exact days on which the
-numerous appearances of the King’s men at court during the winters of
-1608–9, 1609–10, and 1610–11 took place. 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).

-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. Above is written ‘Nemo’ and ‘Neminis Virtus ubique Laudabilis.’
-A version is also in the Anglo-German collection of 1620 (Herz, 66,
-112).

-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.

-
-The W. S. of the title-page was interpreted as William Shakespeare
-in Archer’s play-list of 1656 (Greg, _Masques_, c). The attribution
-is accepted by no modern critic, and guesses at Wentworth Smith and
-William Smith rest similarly on nothing but the initials. 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. The character George Pyeboard is clearly
-meant for Peele, and the play uses episodes which appear in _The Merrie
-Conceited Jests of George Peele Gent_. 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 III. vi. 289 is to Tuesday, 15 July, which fits 1606. The attack on
-the Puritan ministers was resented in W. Crashaw’s Paul’s Cross sermon
-of 13 Feb. 1608 (cf. App. C, no. lvi).

-The authorship is ascribed to ‘Tournour’ in Archer’s list of 1656
-and to ‘Cyril Tourneur’ in Kirkman’s lists of 1661 and 1671 (Greg,
-_Masques_, cii). Fleay, ii. 264, is sceptical, thinking the work too
-good for the author of _The Atheist’s Tragedy_, and inclined to suggest
-Webster. Oliphant (_M. P._ viii. 427) thinks Tourneur impossible,
-in view of the difference of manner, and suggests, only to reject,
-Middleton. E. E. Stoll, _John Webster_, 107, 212, points out that both
-plays are much under the influence of Marston, and that the date may be
-fixed by the borrowing of the name and character of Dandolo from _The

-Richard II_ (1899, _Journ. Germ. Phil._ iii. 138); F. S. Boas, _A
-Seventeenth Century Theatrical Repertoire_ (_Library_ for July 1917).
-
-The play deals with an earlier part of the reign than that of
-Shakespeare’s _Richard II_. 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. Toby Mills died in 1585, but might have left
-a son or godson of his name.

-Churchill, _Richard the Third up to Shakespeare_ (1900, _Palaestra_, x).
-
-Collier, _Shakespeare_, v. 342, put the play earlier than 1588 on the
-ground that the epilogue in praise of Elizabeth makes no mention of
-the Armada. But ‘She hath put proud Antichrist to flight’ may pass
-for such a mention. 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_. He concludes for 1590–1. There is very
-little trace of any use by Shakespeare of this play for his _Richard
-III_.
-
-Boswell groundlessly took the author to be that of _Locrine_

-
-The play, which deals with the episodes of Robin Hood and the Friar and
-Robin Hood and the Potter, is appended to a reprint of the narrative
-_Geste_, originally printed by Wynken de Worde. Manly assigns Copland’s
-edition to _c._ 1550, but Arber, v. 32, to ‘_c._ 1560, by the Printer’s
-address’, and Furnivall, _Captain Cox_, to _c._ 1561. Apparently
-Copland is not traceable at the Three Cranes before that year and had
-earlier addresses. If so, I think that his anonymous entry of 1560 in
-the Stationers’ Register may fairly be supposed to relate to _Robin
-Hood_.

-The contributions of (_b_) and (_c_) are not wholly distinguishable,

-
-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. Rosenbach doubts Massinger,
-and thinks Tourneur’s hand traceable. Swinburne seems to have suggested
-Middleton.

-
-The T. 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. The
-Conclusion, or epilogue, promises a second part, of which nothing is
-known.

-
-Fleay, ii. 26, Sarrazin, and Boas claim the play for Kyd, partly on
-grounds of style, partly because the plot is an elaboration of the
-‘play within the play’ of _The Spanish Tragedy_ (_c._ 1589), iv. 4;
-Wiehl doubts on metrical grounds. Schick (_Archiv_, xc) suggests Peele,
-who is said in the _Merry Conceited Jests_ (Bullen, _Peele_, ii. 389)
-to have written, or pretended to have written, a play of _The Knight of
-Rhodes_, a title which would apply to _Soliman and Perseda_. Robertson,

-
-‘Tom Stucley’ is named as a stage hero by Peele in his _Farewell_
-(1589); but the present play is probably the _Stewtley_ produced by
-the Admiral’s on 11 Dec. 1596 (Greg, _Henslowe_, ii. 181). 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’. But surely there is a difference between making two plays out of
-one and making one play out of two.

-
-The actors’ names point to a performance by the Admiral’s, near 2 Oct.
-1602, when they bought the book from Alleyn (cf. ch. xiii). 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. Obviously a Part i must already have

-facs.), F. J. Furnivall (1886, _Sh. Q_), F. S. Boas (1908, _Sh.
-Classics_), and J. S. Farmer (_S. F. T._).
-
-The Admiral’s and Chamberlain’s revived ‘the tamynge of A shrowe’ for
-Henslowe on 11 June 1594, shortly after the entry in S. R. (Greg,
-_Henslowe_, ii. 164). 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. Rowley (q.v.).

-_The Sources and Authorship of T. W._ (1908, _M. L. 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.

-T._).
-
-The S. 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. Phillips,
-_Theatrum Poetarum_ (1675), to assign the authorship to W. Wager

-
-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.

-The play, clearly influenced by _Tamburlaine_, may rest on one by
-Farrant (q.v.) _c._ 1578. There is no record of any court performance
-by the Chapel between 1584 and 1601. Fleay, ii. 322, guesses that an

-a performance of this play at Croydon twelve months earlier. The text
-is disordered. A prologue ‘To the audience’ is inserted in Act II at

-The register of Merton College, Oxford, has for 3 Jan. 1567 the entry,
-‘Acta est Wylie Beguylie Comoedia Anglica nocte in aedibus Custodis
-per scolares, praesentibus Vicecustode, magistris, baccalaureis, cum
-omnibus domesticis et nonnullis extraneis; merito laudandi recte agendo
-prae se tulerunt summam spem’ (Boas, 157). 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. In the Induction, a juggler
-finds the title _Spectrum_ exhibited, and later, ‘_Spectrum_ is
-conueied away: and _Wily beguiled_, stands in the place of it’ (l. 46).

-
-This ten-scene play from a four-play bill has merit, but most modern
-critics are unable to regard that merit as of Shakespearian type,
-although Ward, ii. 231, finds Shakespeare’s hand in some passages, and
-Fleay, after wantonly guessing at Edmund Shakespeare (_Shakespeare_,
-303), remained impressed (ii. 206) by the external evidence, and
-thought that the play must be Shakespeare’s original ending to an
-earlier version of _The Miseries of Enforced Marriage_, subsequently
-altered by his collaborator, George Wilkins (q.v.), to end happily.
-This is ingenious, but too conjectural. The play, like that of Wilkins,
-takes its material from the history of Walter Calverley, executed for
-murder on 5 Aug. 1605, which is told in Stowe’s _Annales_ and was the
-subject of contemporary pamphlets. Dobell and Sykes argue a case on
-internal evidence for the authorship of Wilkins himself.

-
-This is a narrative of the reign of a Christmas Prince, or Lord of
-Misrule (cf. _Mediaeval Stage_, i. 417), appointed at Gray’s Inn for
-the Christmas of 1594. 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’.

-
-_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.

-
-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.

-apparently wrote his own. Was he the envious schoolmaster?

-
-This was a tilt, before François of Bourbon, dauphin of Auvergne, Artus
-de Cossé, marshal of France, and other commissioners from France, for
-the treaty of marriage between Elizabeth and the Duke of Anjou. 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. A herald made a speech for them. The defendants entered, and the
-tournay and barriers followed. At the end a boy clad in ash colour and
-bearing an olive-branch made submission of the challengers to the Queen.
-
-Foulkes, lxiii. 49, says that a set of blank cheques for this tilt are
-in _Ashm. MS._ 845, f. 166.

-
- _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).

-The speeches for three of the pageants were Jonson’s, and some of those
-for a fourth Middleton’s. Two others were in Latin. But Dekker himself
-probably contributed the rest. Prefixed is a dialogue intended, but not

- APPENDIX A
-
- A COURT CALENDAR
-
-
-[_Bibliographical Note._--This is primarily a list of plays, masks, and
-quasi-dramatic entertainments at court. 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. Ballen,
-_Bibliography of Roadmaking and Roads_ (1914).]

- APPENDIX B
-
- COURT PAYMENTS
-
-
-The body of this appendix contains extracts from the accounts of the
-Treasurer of the Chamber and the Office of Revels, in which expenditure
-on plays or masks at court is recorded. 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.

- APPENDIX C
-
- DOCUMENTS OF CRITICISM
-
- [There is much vain repetition in learned controversy, whether
- literary or ethical. 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. Crowley, _Unlawful Practises of Prelates_ (>
- 1583), sig. B 3^v; N. Bownde, _Doctrine of the Sabbath_ (1595),
- 211; J. Norden, _Progress of Piety_ (1596, ed. _Parker Soc._),
- 177; T. 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. Knolles, _Six Books of a Commonweal_ (1606, from J. Bodin,
- _Six Livres de la République_, 1576–8, 1601), vi. 1; W. Perkins,
- _Cases of Conscience_ (1608, ed. T. Pickering), 118; R. Bolton,
- _Discourse of True Happiness_ (1611), 73; L. Bayly, _Practice of
- Piety_ (_c._ 1612, ed. Webster, 1842), 182, 190; O. Lake, _Probe
- Theologicall upon the Commandments_ (1612), 267; J. Dod and R.
- Cleaver, _Exposition of the Ten Commandments_ (1612); G. Wither,
- _Abuses Stript and Whipt_ (1613), ii. 3; D. Dyke, _Michael and
- the Dragon_ (1615), 216. Probably such references could be
- multiplied indefinitely; they show how dread of the stage became
- a commonplace of pastoral theology. Thomas Spark’s _Rehearsal
- Sermon_ (1579) is only known from the citation of it by Munday
- (cf. No. xxvii, _infra_).]
-
-
- i. 1489 (?). DESIDERIUS ERASMUS.
-
- [From _Epistola_ 31, to an unnamed friend (P. S. Allen, _Opus
- Epistolarum Des. Erasmi Roterodami_, i. 123), conjecturally
- dated by Mr. Allen in 1489. Erasmus more briefly commends the
- educational use both of Terence and Plautus in _De Ratione
- Studii_ (1511, _Opera_, i. 521). 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. Woodward, _Desiderius Erasmus
- concerning the Aim and Method of Education_ (1904), 28, 39, 113,
- 164.]
-
-Est enim in his Terentianis comoediis mirifica quaedam sermonis
-puritas, proprietas, elegantia ac, vt in tam antiquo comico, horroris
-minimum; lepos (sine quo rustica est omnis, quantumuis phalerata,
-oratio) et vrbanus et salsus. Aut hoc igitur magistro aut nemine
-discere licebit quo pacto veteres illi Latini, qui nunc vel nobis peius
-balbutiunt, locuti sint. Hunc itaque tibi non modo etiam atque etiam
-lectitandum censeo, verumetiam ad verbum ediscendum.
-
-Caue autem ne homuncionum istorum imperitulorum, imo liuidulorum
-garritus te quicquam permoueant, qui vbi in ineptissimis authoribus
-Florista, Ebrardo Graecista, Huguitione se senuisse viderunt, nec
-tantis ambagibus ex imperitiae labyrintho potuisse emergere, id vnicum
-suae stulticiae solatium proponunt, si in eundem errorem suum iuniores
-omnes pelliciant. Nefas aiunt a Christianis lectitari Terentianas
-fabulas. Quam ob rem tandem quaeso? Nihil, inquiunt, praeter lasciuiam
-ac turpissimos adolescentum amores habent, quibus lectoris animum
-corrumpi necesse sit. Facile vnde libet corrumpitur qui corruptus
-accesserit. Syncerum nisi vas, quodcunque infundis acescit. Itane
-isti religiosuli ad caetera vel vtilissima talpis caeciores, ad vnam,
-si qua est, lasciuiam capreae sunt? Imo capri ac stolidi nihil sibi
-praeter nequitiam, qua sola imbuti sunt (indocti quippe iidemque
-mali), rapientes, non vident quanta illic sit moralitas, quanta vitae
-instituendae tacita exhortatio, quanta sententiarum venustas. Neque
-intelligunt totum hoc scripti genus ad coarguenda mortalium vitia
-accommodatum, imo adeo inuentum. Quid enim sunt comoediae, nisi seruus
-nugator, adolescens amore insanus, meretrix blanda ac procax, senex
-difficilis, morosus, auarus? Haec nobis in fabulis, perinde atque
-in tabula, proponuntur depicta; vt, quum in moribus hominum quid
-deceat, quid dedeceat, viderimus, alterum amemus alterum castigemus.
-En, in Eunucho Phaedria ille ex summa continentia in summam ineptiam
-amore, tanquam morbo validissimo, immutatus, adeo vt eundem esse non
-cognoscas; quam pulchro exemplo docet amorem rem esse et miserrimam et
-anxiam, instabilem et prorsus insaniae turpissimae plenam. Assentatores
-istos, pestilens hominum genus, Gnatonem suum, artis suae principem,
-spectare iubeto. Iactabundi et sibi placentes, quales diuitum
-plerosque imperitos videmus, Thrasonem suum spectent ac tandem cum sua
-magnificentia quam ridiculi sint intelligant.
-
-Sed de his latius (quum [quae] de litteris scripsimus edemus)
-nostra leges, volente quidem Deo. Ad praesentem locum satis fuerit
-tetigisse comoedias Terentianas; modo recte legantur, non modo non ad
-subuertendos mores, verum etiam ad corrigendos maximopere valere, certe
-ad Latine discendum plane necessarias iudicauerim. An potius istud
-ex Catholicon, Huguitione, Ebrardo, Papia caeterisque ineptioribus
-sperare iubebunt? Mirum vero si his authoribus quis quid Latine dicat,
-cum ipsi nihil non barbare locuti sint. Huiusmodi amplectatur, qui
-balbutire volet; qui loqui cupiet, Terentium dicat, quem Cicero, quem
-Quintilianus, quem Hieronymus, quem Augustinus, quem Ambrosius et
-iuuenes didicere et senes vsi sunt; quem denique nemo, nisi barbarus,
-non amauit.

-At qui mos nunc est, quo tempore sacrum celebratur Christi morte sua
-genus humanum liberantis, ludos nihil prope a scenicis illis veteribus
-differentes populo exhibere, etiam si aliud non dixero satis turpe
-existimabit quisquis audiet, ludos fieri in re maxime seria. Ibi
-ridetur Iudas, quam potest ineptissima iactans, dum Christum prodit:
-ibi discipuli fugiunt militibus persequentibus, nec sine cachinnis
-et actorum et spectatorum: ibi Petrus auriculam rescindit Malcho,
-applaudente pullata turba, ceu ita vindicetur Christi captiuitas.
-Et post paulum, qui tam strenue modo dimicarat, rogationibus unius
-ancillulae territus abnegat magistrum, ridente multitudine ancillam
-interrogantem, et exibilante Petrum negantem. Inter tot ludentes, inter
-tot cachinnos et ineptias solus Christus est serius et seuerus. Quumque
-affectus conatur moestos elicere, nescio quo pacto non ibi tantum, sed
-etiam ad sacra frigefacit, magno scelere atque impietate, non tam eorum
-qui vel spectant vel agunt, quam sacerdotum, qui eiusmodi fieri curant.

-Venit in scenam poesis, populo ad spectandum congregato, et ibi sicut
-pictor tabulam proponit multitudini spectandam, ita poeta imaginem

-picturam loquentem, et picturam poema tacens, ita magister est populi,
-et pictor, et poeta: corrupta est haec ars, quod ab insectatione
-flagitiorum et scelerum transiit ad obsequium prauae affectionis,
-vt quaecunque odisset poeta, in eum linguae ac stili intemperantia
-abuteretur: cui iniuriae atque insolentiae itum est obuiam, primum a
-diuitibus potentia sua, et opibus, hinc legibus, quibus cauebatur,
-ne quis in alium noxium carmen pangeret: tum inuolucris coepit tegi
-fabula; paullatim res tota ad ludicra, et in vulgum plausibilia, est
-traducta, ad amores, ad fraudes meretricum, ad periuria lenonis, ad
-militis ferociam et glorias; quae quum dicerentur cuneis refertis
-puerorum, puellarum, mulierum, turba opificum hominum, et rudium, mirum
-quam vitiabantur mores ciuitatis admonitione illa, et quasi incitatione
-ad flagitia, praesertim quum comici semper catastrophen laetam
-adderent amoribus, et impudicitiae; nam si quando addidissent tristes
-exitus, deterruissent ab iis actibus spectatores, quibus euentus
-esset paratus acerbissimus. In quo sapientior fuit qui nostra lingua
-scripsit Celestinam tragicomoediam; nam progressui amorum, et illis
-gaudiis voluptatis, exitum annexuit amarissimum, nempe amatorum, lenae,
-lenonum casus et neces violentas: neque vero ignorarunt olim fabularum
-scriptores turpia esse quae scriberent, et moribus iuuentutis damnosa
-... Recentiores in linguis vernaculis multo, mea quidem sententia,

-‘They whiche be ignoraunt in poetes wyll perchaunce obiecte, as is
-their maner, agayne these verses [Horace, _Epist._ ii. 1. 126–31],
-sayeng that in Therence and other that were writers of comedies,
-also Ouide, Catullus, Martialis, and all that route of lasciuious
-poetes that wrate epistles and ditties of loue, some called in latine
-_Elegiæ_ and some _Epigrammata_, is nothyng contayned but
-incitation to lechery.
-
-First, comedies, whiche they suppose to be a doctrinall of rybaudrie,
-they be undoutedly a picture or as it were a mirrour of man’s life,
-wherin iuell is nat taught but discouered; to the intent that men
-beholdynge the promptnes of youth unto vice, the snares of harlotts
-and baudes laid for yonge myndes, the disceipte of seruantes, the
-chaunces of fortune contrary to mennes expectation, they beinge therof
-warned may prepare them selfe to resist or preuente occasion. 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,

-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

-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. Wherby he taketh no damage, or if he be stungen
-he maketh lite of it and shortly forgetteth it. Semblablye if he do

-he remembreth the litel pleasure and gret detriment that shulde ensue

- What Creature is in health, eyther yong or olde,
- But som mirth with modestie wil be glad to use
- As we in thys Enterlude shall now unfolde,
- Wherin all scurilitie we utterly refuse,
- Avoiding such mirth wherin is abuse:
- Knowing nothing more comendable for a mans recreation
- Than Mirth which is used in an honest fashion:
-
- For Myrth prolongeth lyfe, and causeth health.
- Mirth recreates our spirites and voydeth pensivenesse,
- Mirth increaseth amitie, not hindring our wealth,
- Mirth is to be used both of more and lesse,
- Being mixed with vertue in decent comlynesse.
- As we trust no good nature can gainsay the same:
- Which mirth we intende to use, avoidyng all blame.
-
- The wyse Poets long time heretofore,
- Under merrie Comedies secretes did declare,
- Wherein was contained very vertuous lore,
- With mysteries and forewarnings very rare.
- Suche to write neither _Plautus_ nor _Terence_ dyd spare,
- Whiche among the learned at this day beares the bell:
- These with such other therein dyd excell.

-et horrorem impietatis, omnisque peruersitatis ingenerandi atque

-quibus magna et illustria hominum consilia, conatus, ingenium, affectus
-atque casus repraesentent, quam ex impiis ethnicorum vel fabulis vel
-historiis! Adhibendae autem sunt in vtroque genere poematum, comico
-et tragico, vt cum hominum vitia et peccata describuntur, et actione
-quasi oculis conspicienda exhibentur, id fiat ea ratione, vt quamuis
-perditorum hominum referantur scelera, tamen terror quidam in his
-diuini iudicii, et horror appareat peccati: non exprimantur exultans in

-aliquid decoro poetico, quam curae aedificandi pietate spectatores;
-quae poscit vt in omni peccati repraesentatione sentiantur,
-conscientiae propriae condemnatio, et a iudicio Dei horrenda trepidatio.
-
-At dum piae et probae exhibentur actiones, in his debet exprimi
-quam clarissime sensus divinae misericordiae laetus, securaque et
-confidens, moderata tamen, et diffidens sibi exultansque in Deo fiducia
-promissionum Dei cum sancta et spirituali in recte faciendo voluptate.
-Hac enim ratione sanctorum et ingenia, et mores, et affectus, ad
-instaurandam in populo omnem pietatem ac virtutem, quam scitissima
-imitatione repraesentantur. Eum autem fructum vt Christi populus ex
-sanctis comoediis et tragoediis percipiant praeficiendi et huic rei
-erunt viri, vt horum poematum singulariter intelligentes, ita etiam
-explorati et constantis studii in regnum Christi: ne qua omnino agatur
-comoedia, aut tragoedia, quam hi non ante perspectam decreuerint
-agendam.
-
-Hi quoque curabunt, ne quid leue aut histrionicum in agendo admittatur:
-sed omnia exhibeantur sancta quadam, et graui, iucunda tamen, sanctis
-duntaxat, actione: qua repraesententur non tam res ipsae, et actiones
-hominum, affectus et perturbationes, quam mores et ingenia: ac ita
-repraesententur, vt excitetur in spectatoribus studiosa imitatio: eorum
-autem quae secus sunt instituta et facta, confirmetur detestatio, et
-excitetur declinatio vigilantior.
-
-His observatis cautionibus, poterit sane multa, nec minus ad virtutem

-maxime cum studium et cura eiusmodi et comoediarum et tragoediarum
-excitata fuerit, cum lingua vernacula, tum etiam lingua Latina et
-Graeca. Extant nunc aliquot non poenitendae huius generis comoediae
-et tragoediae, in quibus, etiamsi docti mundi huius desiderent in
-comoediis illud acumen, eumque leporem, et sermonis venustatem, quem
-admirantur in Aristophanis, Terentii, Plautique fabulis: in tragoediis,

- _English Works of Roger Ascham_ (1904), 171. The tract, which
- was largely based on the teaching of Ascham’s friend John Sturm,
- was begun as a New Year gift for Elizabeth in December 1563, and
- left unfinished at the author’s death in 1568. The best modern
- edition is by J. E. B. Mayor (1863).]
-
-_The first booke teachyng the brynging vp of youth_.... P. 185. In
-the earliest stage of Latin, Ascham ‘would haue the Scholer brought
-vp withall, till he had red, & translated ouer y^e first booke of
-[Cicero’s] Epistles chosen out by _Sturmius_, with a good peece of a
-Comedie of _Terence_ also.... P. 208. There be som seruing men do but
-ill seruice to their yong masters. Yea, rede _Terence_ and _Plaut_.
-aduisedlie ouer, and ye shall finde in those two wise writers, almost
-in euery commedie, no vnthriftie yong man, that is not brought there
-vnto, by the sotle inticement of som lewd seruant. And euen now in our
-dayes _Getae_ and _Daui_, _Gnatos_ and manie bold bawdie _Phormios_
-to, be preasing in, to pratle on euerie stage, to medle in euerie
-matter, when honest _Parmenos_ shall not be hard, but beare small swing
-with their masters.... _The second booke teachyng the ready way to
-the Latin tong_.... P. 238. Read dayly vnto him ... some Comedie of
-_Terence_ or _Plautus_: but in _Plautus_, skilfull choice must be vsed
-by the master, to traine his Scholler to a iudgement, in cutting out
-perfitelie ouer old and vnproper wordes.... On _Imitatio_ ... P. 266.
-The whole doctrine of Comedies and Tragedies, is a perfite _imitation_,
-or faire liuelie painted picture of the life of euerie degree of
-man.... One of the best examples, for right _Imitation_ we lacke, and
-that is _Menander_, whom our _Terence_ (as the matter required) in like
-argument, in the same Persons, with equall eloquence, foote by foote
-did follow. Som peeces remaine, like broken Iewelles, whereby men may
-rightlie esteme, and iustlie lament, the losse of the whole.... P.
-276. In Tragedies, (the goodliest Argument of all, and for the vse,
-either of a learned preacher, or a Ciuill Ientleman, more profitable
-than _Homer_, _Pindar_, _Vergill_, and _Horace_: yea comparable
-in myne opinion, with the doctrine of _Aristotle_, _Plato_, and
-_Xenophon_,) the _Grecians_, _Sophocles_ and _Euripides_ far ouer match
-our _Seneca_, in _Latin_, namely in οἱκονομία _et Decoro_, although
-_Senecaes_ elocution and verse be verie commendable for his tyme.’
-... P. 284. Ascham describes some contemporary Latin tragedies.... 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.’

- That by his common talke, you may his nature rightly knowe:
- A Royster ought not preache, that were to straunge to heare,

- The olde man is sober, the yonge man rashe, the Louer triumphyng in ioyes,
- The Matron graue, the Harlot wilde and full of wanton toyes.
- Whiche all in one course they [in] no wise doo agree:
- So correspondent to their kinde their speeches ought to bee.
- Which speeches well pronounste, with action liuely framed,
- If this offende the lookers on, let _Horace_ then be blamed,
- Which hath our Author taught at Schole, from whom he doth not swarue,
- In all suche kinde of exercise decorum to obserue,
- Thus much for his defence (he sayth) as Poetes earst haue donne,
- Which heretofore in Commedies the selfe same rase did ronne:
- But now for to be briefe, the matter to expresse,
- Which here wee shall present: is this _Damon_ and _Pithias_,
- A rare ensample of Friendship true, it is no Legend lie,
- But a thinge once donne in deede as Hystories doo discrie,
- Whiche doone of yore in longe time past, yet present shalbe here,
- Euen as it were in dooynge now, so liuely it shall appeare:
- Lo here in _Siracusae_ thauncient Towne, which once the Romaines wonne,
- Here _Dionysius_ Pallace, within whose Courte this thing most strange was donne,
- Which matter mixt with myrth and care, a iust name to applie,
- As seemes most fit wee haue it termed, a Tragicall Commedie,
- Wherein talkyng of Courtly toyes, wee doo protest this flat,
- Wee talke of _Dionysius_ Courte, wee meane no Court but that,
- And that wee doo so meane, who wysely calleth to minde.
- The time, the place, the Authours here most plainely shall it finde,
- Loe this I speake for our defence, lest of others wee should be shent:
- But worthy Audience, wee you pray, take thinges as they be ment,
- Whose vpright Judgement wee doo craue, with heedefull eare and eye,
- To here the cause, and see theffect of this newe Tragicall Commedie.

- I saie, there was neuer thyng inuented,
- More worth for man’s solace to be frequented.
-
- Hipocrites that wold not haue their fautes reueled
- Imagine slaunder our facultie to let;
- Faine wold they haue their wickednes still concealed;
- Therfore maliciously against vs they be set;
- O (say they) muche money they doe get.
- Truely, I say, whether you geue halfpence or pence,
- Your gayne shalbe double, before you depart hence....
-
- We desire no man in this poynt to be offended, l. 80.
- In that vertues with vice we shall here introduce;
- For in men and women they haue depended:
- And therfore figuratiuely to speake, it is the vse.

- Or seekes to feede his eye with vayne delight:
- That man is much unmeete to be a guest,
- At such a feaste as I prepare this night.
- Who list laye out some pence in such a Marte,
- Bellsavage fayre were fittest for his purse,
- I lyst not so to misbestowe mine arte,
- I have best wares, what neede I then shewe woorse?
- An Enterlude may make you laugh your fill,
- _Italian_ toyes are full of pleasaunt sporte:
- Playne speache to use, if wanton be your wyll,
- You may be gone, wyde open standes the porte.
- But if you can contented be to heare,
- In true discourse howe hygh the vertuous clyme,
- Howe low they fall which lyve withouten feare
- Of God or man, and much mispende theyr tyme:
- What ryght rewardes a trustie servaunt earnes,
- What subtile snares these Sycophantes can use,
- Howe soone the wise such crooked guyles discernes,
- Then stay a whyle: gyve eare unto my Muse.

-
-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.’

- [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

-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

-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.’

-
-... 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....

-[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

-_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

-[Summary and Extracts.] P. 3. ‘There came to my hands lately a litle
-(would God a wittye) pamphelet, baring a fayre face as though it
-were the Scoole of Abuse.’ Defends against Gosson poetry, music, and
-thirdly players, for whose art he claims both ‘antiquity’ and ‘use and
-comoditye’ as an instrument of moral criticism. 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

-bowlers, dancers, and tumblers.

-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

-‘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

-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.’

-[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’.

-
- [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

-[Summary and Extracts.] The book, which is ‘made dialogue-wise’ between
-Spudeus and Philoponus, who does most of the denunciation, is not
-confined to the stage, but is a comprehensive analysis of contemporary
-frailty. _Epistle to Phillip Earl of Arundel. Preface to the Reader._
-P. x. ‘Wheras in the processe of this my booke, I haue intreated of
-certen exercyses vsually practised amongest vs, as namely of Playes
-and Enterludes.... 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.’ _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.’

- 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.’

-(because it was in defence of plaies and play makers) the godly and
-reverent that had to deale in the cause, misliking it, forbad the
-publishing: notwithstanding he, comming by a private unperfect coppye,
-about two yeres since made a reply, dividing it into five sections,
-and in his Epistle dedicatory, to the right honorable, Sir Frances
-Walsingham, he impugneth me with these reproches, that I am become

-The tract is mainly on gaming. P. 24. ‘The godly Divines, in public

- xl. 1588–90. 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

- 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

- xlii. 1589. 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. But heerein I cannot so fully bequeath
-them to folly, as their ideot Art-masters, that intrude themselues to
-our eares as the Alcumists of eloquence, who (mounted on the stage of
-arrogance) think to out-braue better pennes with the swelling bumbast
-of a bragging blanke verse. Indeede it may bee the ingrafted ouerflow
-of some kil-cow conceit, that ouercloyeth their imagination with a
-more than drunken resolution, being not extemporall in the inuention
-of any other meanes to vent their manhoode, commits the disgestion of
-their cholericke incumbrances to the spacious volubilitie of a drumming
-decasillabon. Mongst this kind of men that repose eternitie in the

-hauing no more learning in their skull than will serue to take vp a
-commoditie, nor Art in their braine than was nourished in a seruing
-mans idlenesse, will take vppon them to be the ironicall Censors of
-all, when God and Poetrie doth know they are the simplest of all. To

-Art and thriue by none, to leaue the trade of _Nouerint_, whereto
-they were borne, and busie themselues with the indeuours of Art, that
-could scarcely Latinize their neck verse if they should haue neede;

-whats that will last alwayes? The Sea exhaled by droppes will in
-continuance bee drie, and _Seneca_, let blood line by line and page by
-page, at length must needes die to our Stage; which makes his famished
-followers to imitate the Kidde in _Æsop_, who, enamoured with the Foxes
-newfangles, forsooke all hopes of life to leape into a newe occupation;
-and these men, renouncing all possibilities of credite or estimation,
-to intermeddle with Italian Translations: wherein how poorely they
-haue plodded, (as those that are neither prouenzall men, nor are able
-to distinguish of Articles,) let all indifferent Gentlemen that haue
-trauailed in that tongue discerne by their two-pennie pamphlets: & no
-maruell though their home borne mediocritie bee such in this matter;
-for what can bee hoped of those that thrust _Elisium_ into hell, and
-haue not learned, so long as they haue liued in the Spheres, the iust
-measure of the Horizon without an hexameter? Sufficeth them to bodge
-vp a blanke verse with ifs and ands, and otherwhile for recreation
-after their Candle-stuffe, hauing starched their beards most curiously,
-to make a Peripateticall path into the inner parts of the Citie, and
-spend two or three howers in turning ouer French _Doudie_, where they
-attract more infection in one minute, then they can do eloquence all
-daies of their life, by conuersing with any Authors of like argument.’
-P. 323. ‘There are extant about _London_ many most able men to reuiue

-
-P. 129. 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. Greene), is interrupted by a request for his
-‘iudgement of Playes, Playmakers and Players’. 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

-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

-third sort were certain artisans in good towns and great parishes, as

-it was lawful for all persons to come without exacting any money for

-foolish playmakers make it offend in this kind, yet being rightly vsed,
-it represents them so as to make the vice scorned and not embraced....
-And for Tragedies, to omit other famous Tragedies, that that was played
-at _S. Iohns_ in Cambridge, of _Richard the 3_, would moue
-(I thinke) _Phalaris_ the tyraunt, and terrifie all tyrannous
-minded men from following their foolish ambitious humors, seeing how
-his ambition made him kill his brother, his nephews, his wife, beside
-infinit others, and, last of all, after a short and troublesome raigne,
-to end his miserable life, and to haue his body harried after his
-death. Then, for Comedies, how full of harmeles myrth is our Cambridge
-_Pedantius_? and the Oxford _Bellum Grammaticale_? or, to
-speake of a London Comedie, how much good matter, yea and matter of
-state, is there in that Comedie cald the play of the Cards, in which
-it is showed how foure Parasiticall knaues robbe the foure principall
-vocations of the Realme, _videl_, the vocation of Souldiers,
-Schollers, Marchants, and Husbandmen? Of which Comedie I cannot forget
-the saying of a notable wise counseller that is now dead, who when some
-(to sing _Placebo_) aduised that it should be forbidden, because
-it was somewhat too plaine, and indeed as the old saying is, _sooth
-boord is no boord_, yet he would haue it allowed, adding it was fit
-that _They which doe that they should not should heare that they
-would not_.’

-there is no vse, but warre: and these men must haue some employment
-still to cut them off.... To this effect, the pollicie of Playes is
-very necessary, howsoeuer some shallow-braind censurers (not the

-them. For whereas the after-noone beeing the idlest time of the day;
-wherein men that are their owne masters (as Gentlemen of the Court,
-the Innes of the Courte, and the number of Captaines and Souldiers
-about _London_) do wholy bestow themselues vpon pleasure, and that
-pleasure they deuide (howe vertuously it skils not) either into
-gameing, following of harlots, drinking, or seeing a Playe: is it not
-then better (since of foure extreames all the world cannot keepe them
-but they will choose one) that they should betake them to the least,
-which is Playes? 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? How would it haue ioyed braue
-_Talbot_ (the terror of the French) to thinke that after he had lyne
-two hundred yeares in his Tombe, hee should triumphe againe on the
-Stage, and haue his bones newe embalmed with the teares of ten thousand
-spectators at least (at seuerall times) who, in the Tragedian that
-represents his person, imagine they behold him fresh bleeding? 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.... Our Players are not as the players
-beyond Sea, a sort of squirting baudie Comedians, that haue whores
-and common Curtizens to playe womens partes, and forbeare no immodest
-speech or vnchast action that may procure laughter; but our Sceane
-is more statelye furnisht than euer it was in the time of _Roscius_,
-our representations honourable, and full of gallant resolution, not
-consisting, like theirs, of a Pantaloun, a Whore, and a Zanie, but
-of Emperours, Kings, and Princes; whose true Tragedies (_Sophocleo
-cothurno_) they do vaunt. Not _Roscius_ nor _Æsope_, those admyred
-tragedians that haue liued euer since before Christ was borne, could
-euer performe more in action than famous _Ned Allen_.... If I euer
-write any thing in Latine (as I hope one day I shall) not a man of any
-desert here amongst vs, but I will haue vp. _Tarlton_, _Ned Allen_,
-_Knell_, _Bentlie_, shall be made knowne to _France_, _Spaine_, and

-A jury is being empanelled between the disputants, who represent new
-and old ideals of gentry. P. 289. ‘An ouerworne gentleman attired in
-veluet and satin’ is followed by ‘two pert Applesquires: the one had
-a murrey cloth gowne on, faced down before with gray conny, and laid
-thicke on the sleeves with lace, which he quaintly bare vp to shew his
-white taffata hose, and black silk stockings: a huge ruffe about his
-necke wrapt in his great head like a wicker cage, a little Hat with
-brims like the wings of a doublet, wherein he wore a jewell of glasse,
-as broad as a chancery seale: after him followed two boies in cloakes
-like butterflies: carrying one of them his cutting sword of choller,
-the other his dauncing rapier of delight.’ The ‘ouerworne gentleman’ is
-a poet, the ‘applesquires’ a player and the usher of a dancing school.
-Velvet Breeches thinks the poet ‘a proud fellow’, the others ‘plaine,
-honest, humble men, that for a penny or an old-cast sute of apparell
-will do anything. 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

-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

-‘_Roberto_ ... vttered his present greefe, beseeching his advuise
-how he might be imployed. Why easily, quoth hee, and greatly to your
-benefit: for men of my profession get by schollers their whole liuing.
-What is your profession, sayd _Roberto_? Truely sir, said he, I am a
-player. 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. Truely (said _Roberto_) 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 _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. Nay it is enough, said _Roberto_, but how meane you to vse
-mee? Why sir, in making playes, said the other, for which you shall
-be well paied, if you will take the paines.... 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. G.
-wisheth a better exercise, and wisdome to preuent his extremities_....
-Base minded men al three of you, if by my miserie ye be not warned:
-for vnto none of you (like me) sought those burres to cleaue: those
-Puppits (I meane) that speake from our mouths, those Anticks garnisht
-in our colours. 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. O that
-I might intreate your rare wits to be imployed in more profitable
-courses: & let these Apes imitate your past excellence, and neuer more
-acquaint them with your admired inuentions. I know the best husband
-of you all will neuer proue an Vsurer, and the kindest of them all
-wil neuer prooue a kinde nurse: yet, whilst you may, seeke you better
-Maisters; for it is pittie men of such rare wits, should be subiect to
-the pleasures of such rude groomes. In this I might insert two more,
-that both haue writ against these buckram Gentlemen: but let their
-owne works serue to witnesse against their owne wickednesse, if they
-perseuer to maintaine any more such peasants. For other new commers, I
-leaue them to the mercie of these painted monsters, who (I doubt not)

-P. 37. _To the Gentlemen Readers._ ‘About three moneths since died M.
-_Robert Greene_, leauing many papers in sundry Booke sellers hands,
-among other his Groatsworth of wit, in which a letter written to diuers
-playmakers, is offensiuely by one or two of them taken; and because
-on the dead they cannot be auenged, they wilfully forge in their
-conceites a liuing Author: and after tossing it two and fro, no remedy,
-but it must light on me. 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. For the first,

-stroke out what then in conscience I thought he in some displeasure
-writ: or had it beene true, yet to publish it, was intollerable: him
-I would wish to vse me no worse than I deserue. I had onely in the
-copy this share: it was il written, as sometime _Greenes_ hand was
-none of the best; licensd it must be, ere it could bee printed, which
-could neuer be if it might not be read. To be breife, I writ it ouer;
-and as neare as I could, followed the copy; onely in that letter I put
-something out, but in the whole booke not a worde in; for I protest
-it was all _Greenes_, not mine nor Maister _Nashes_, as some vniustly
-haue affirmed.’ _Henrie Chettle_.... _The Dreame_. P. 43. ‘There
-entered at once fiue personages.... The next, by his sute of russet,
-his buttond cap, his taber, his standing on the toe, and other tricks,
-I knew to be either the body or resemblaunce of Tarlton, who liuing,
-for his pleasant conceits was of all men liked, and dying, for mirth
-left not his like.... 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_. He was of singuler
-pleasaunce the verye supporter, and, to no man’s disgrace bee this
-intended, the only Comedian of a vulgar writer in this country.’ P.
-63. _To all maligners of honest mirth_, Tarleton _wisheth continuall
-melancholy_. ‘Now Maisters, what say you to a merrie knaue, that for
-this two years day hath not beene talkt of. Wil you giue him leaue, if
-he can, to make ye laugh? What, all a mort? No merry countenance? Nay
-then I see hypocrisie hath the vpper hand, and her spirit raignes in
-this profitable generation. Sith it is thus, Ile be a time-pleaser.
-Fie vppon following plaies, the expence is wondrous; vpon players
-speeches, their wordes are full of wyles; vppon their gestures, that
-are altogether wanton. Is it not lamentable, that a man should spende
-his two pence on them in an after-noone, heare couetousnes amongst
-them daily quipt at, being one of the commonest occupations in the
-countrey; and in liuely gesture see trecherie set out, with which euery
-man now adaies vseth to intrap his brother. Byr lady, this would be
-lookt into: if these be the fruites of playing, tis time the practisers
-were expeld. Expeld (quoth you); that hath been pretily performd, to
-the no smal profit of the Bouling-allyes in Bedlam and other places,
-that were wont in the after-noones to be left empty, by the recourse
-of good fellows vnto that vnprofitable recreation of Stage-playing.
-And it were not much amisse, would they ioine with the Dicing houses
-to make sute againe for their longer restraint, though the sicknesse
-cease. Is not this well saide (my maisters) of an olde buttond cappe,
-that hath most part of his life liu’d vppon that against which he
-inueighs: Yes, and worthily.’ Suppression of plays to the advantage of
-bawdy-houses, especially those not near Shoreditch. Discourse with a
-pander. P. 65. ‘And you, sir, find fault with plaies. Out vpon them,
-they spoile our trade, as you your selfe haue proued. Beside, they
-open our crosse-biting, our conny-catching, our traines, our traps,
-our gins, our snares, our subtilties: for no sooner haue we a tricke
-of deceipt, but they make it common, singing Iigs, and making ieasts
-of vs, that euerie boy can point out our houses as they passe by.
-Whither now _Tarlton_? this is extempore, out of time, tune, and
-temper.... 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

-The academic controversy is fully summarized by F. S. Boas in

-Our famous and learned Lawreat masters of England would entitle our
-English to far greater admired excellency if either the Emperor
-Augustus, or Octauia his sister, or noble Mecaenas were aliue to
-rewarde and countenaunce them; or if our witty Comedians and stately
-Tragedians (the glorious and goodlie representers of all fine witte,
-glorified phrase, and queint action) bee still supported and vphelde,

-... A COMPARATIUE DISCOURSE OF OUR ENGLISH POETS WITH THE GREEKE,
-LATINE, AND ITALIAN POETS....
-
-... As Plautus and Seneca are accounted the best for Comedy and
-Tragedy among the Latines: so Shakespeare among the English is the
-most excellent in both kinds for the stage. For Comedy, witnes his
-_Gentlemen of Verona_, his _Errors_, his _Loue Labors Lost_, his _Loue
-Labours Wonne_, his _Midsummers Night Dreame_, and his _Merchant of
-Venice_; For Tragedy, his _Richard the 2_, _Richard the 3_, _Henry the
-4_, _King Iohn_, _Titus Andronicus_, and his _Romeo and Iuliet_....
-
-... These are our best for Tragedie, The Lorde Buckhurst, Doctor Leg of
-Cambridge, Doctor Edes of Oxford, Master Edward Ferris, the author of
-the _Mirror for Magistrates_, Marlow, Peele, Watson, Kid, Shakespeare,
-Drayton, Chapman, Decker, and Beniamin Iohnson.
-
-As M. Anneus Lucanus writ two excellent tragedies, one called _Medea_,
-the other _De incendio Troiae cum Priami calamitate_: so Doctor Leg
-hath penned two famous tragedies, the one of _Richard the 3_, the other
-of _The Destruction of Ierusalem_....
-
-... The best for Comedy amongst vs bee Edward, Earle of Oxforde, Doctor
-Gager of Oxforde, Master Rowley, once a rare scholler of learned
-Pembrooke Hall in Cambridge, Maister Edwardes, one of Her Maiesties
-Chappell, eloquent and wittie Iohn Lilly, Lodge, Gascoyne, Greene,
-Shakespeare, Thomas Nash, Thomas Heywood, Anthony Mundye, our best
-plotter, Chapman, Porter, Wilson, Hathway, and Henry Chettle....
-
-As Georgius Buchananus’ _Iepthae_ amongst all moderne Tragedies is able
-to abide the touch of Aristotle’s precepts and Euripedes’s examples: so
-is Bishop Watson’s _Absalon_. As ... Watson for his _Antigone_ out of
-Sophocles, ha[s] got good commendations: so these versifiers for their
-learned translations are of good note among vs ... the Translators
-of Seneca’s _Tragedies_, ... As Antipater Sidonius was famous for
-extemporall verse in Greeke, and Ouid for his _Quicquid conabar dicere
-versus erat_: so was our Tarleton, of whome Doctor Case, that learned
-physitian, thus speaketh in the Seuenth Booke and seuenteenth chapter
-of his _Politikes: Aristoteles suum Theodoretum laudauit quendam
-peritum Tragœdiarum actorem, Cicero suum Roscium: nos Angli Tarletonum,
-in cuius voce et vultu omnes iocosi affectus, in cuius cerebroso capite
-lepidae facetiae habitant_. And so is now our wittie Wilson, who for
-learning and extemporall witte in this facultie is without compare or
-compeere, as, to his great and eternall commendations, he manifested in
-his challenge at the _Swanne_ on the Banke Side.

-holy men should be acted on a Stage, whereby others may be inharted
-to rush carelessly forward into vnbrideled libertie?... Furthermore,
-there is no passion wherwith the king, the soueraigne maiestie of the

-because they do not onely hide and couer the thiefe, but also entice
-seruants out of their maisters houses, wherby opportunitie is offered
-to loose fellowes, to effect many wicked stratagems.... To conclude,
-it were further to be wished, that those admired wittes of this age,
-Tragædians, and Comædians, that garnish Theaters with their inuentions,
-would spend their wittes in more profitable studies, and leaue off to
-maintaine those Anticks, and Puppets, that speake out of their mouthes:

-Hence is it, that I now render my selfe gratefull, and am studious
-to iustifie the bounty of your act: To which, though your mere
-authority were satisfying, yet it being an age wherein _Poëtry_ and the
-Professors of it heare so ill on all sides, there will a reason bee
-look’d for in the subject. It is certaine, nor can it with any forehead
-be oppos’d, that the too-much licence of _Poëtasters_ in this time
-hath much deform’d their _Mistresse_; that euery day their manifold
-and manifest ignorance doth stick vnnaturall reproches vpon her. But
-for their petulancy, it were an act of the greatest iniustice, either
-to let the learned suffer, or so diuine a _skill_ (which indeed should
-not be attempted with vncleane hands) to fall vnder the least contempt.
-For if men will impartially, and not à-squint, looke toward the offices
-and function of a _Poët_, they will easily conclude to themselues
-the impossibility of any mans being the good _Poët_, without first
-being a good _Man_. 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

- their Quality_ (1612), reprinted by William Cartwright as _The
- Actor’s Vindication_ (N.D., but according to Douce 1658) and in
- 1841 (_Sh. Soc._). 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. G. in _A Refutation of the
- Apology for Actors_ (1615), which contributes nothing new, and
- uses material from Gosson’s _Plays Confuted_ (No. xxx), with
- references to the long-destroyed Theatre unchanged.]

-wish, that such as are condemned for their licentiousnesse, might by

-men that stand in the broad eye of the world, so should our manners,
-gestures, and behaviours, savour of such government and modesty, to
-deserve the good thoughts and reports of all men, and to abide the
-sharpest censures even of those that are the greatest opposites to the
-quality. Many amongst us I know to be of substance, of government, of
-sober lives, and temperate carriages, house-keepers, and contributory
-to all duties enjoyned them, equally with them that are rank’t with
-the most bountifull; and if amongst so many of sort, there be any few

-against all estates, to the mouthes of children, supposing their
-juniority to be a priviledge for any rayling, be it never so violent,
-I could advise all such to curbe and limit this presumed liberty
-within the bands of discretion and government. But wise and juditiall

- lx. 1615. J. COCKE.
-
- [The variant texts of this character are here given from the
- two editions of John Stephens’ essays, in each of which it is
- Bk. ii, char. 4, viz. (A) _Satyrical Essayes Characters and
- Others_ (1615) and (B) _Essayes and Characters, Ironical and
- Instructive. The second impression_ (1615), of which a reprint
- is in J. O. 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. JOHN WEBSTER (?).
-
- [This Character _Of an Excellent Actor_ is one of the additions
- made in the 6th edition (1615) to the Characters printed with
- Sir Thomas Overbury’s _The Wife_, of which the 1st edition
- appeared after Overbury’s death on 15 Sept. 1613. 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.

- 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.]

-of playes, which are vsed at the Theatre, and other such places, and
-tumbleres and such like are a very superfluous sort of men, and of
-suche facultie as the lawes haue disalowed, and their exersise of those
-playes is a great hinderaunce of the seruice of God, who hath with his

-vncleanenesse and pestering of the Citty, the said playes are matter
-of great daunger. Therefore I humble beseche your Lp, for those and

-will please you that some order be taken by commaundement from your
-Lp and the rest of the most honorable Lordes that the said playes and

-After our hartie comendacons. Whereas heretofore for sundry good

-for the restraint of plaies, in and about the Citie of London: and
-neuerthelesse of late for honest recreation sake, in respecte that her
-maiestie sometimes taketh delight in those pastimes, we thought it not
-vnfitt, hauing regard vnto the season of the yere and the Clerenes of
-the Citie from infection, to allowe of certaine companies of plaiers to
-exercise their playeng in London, partly to the ende they might thereby
-attaine to the more dexteritie and perfection in that profession,
-the better to content her maiestie, whereupon we permitted the said
-players to vse their playeng vntill we shold se cause to the contrary,
-and foreseing that the same might be done without impeachment of the
-seruice of God whereof we haue a speciall care, we restrained them from
-playeng on the sabothe daye: and forasmucheas we suppose that their
-honest exercise of recreation in playeng, to be vsed on the ordinarie
-S. Hollydaies after euening prayer, as long as the season of the yere
-may permitt and may be without daunger of the infection, will not be
-offensiue, so that if care be had that their comodies and enterludes
-be looked into, and that those which do containe mater that may bread
-corruption of maners and conuersacion among the people (which we
-desire in any case to haue auoided) be forbidden, whereunto we wishe
-yow did appointe some fitt persones whoe maie consider and allowe of
-suche playes onely as be fitt to yeld honest recreacion and no example
-of euell: We haue therefore thought good to pray your Lp. to reuoke
-your late inhibition against their playeng on the said hollydaies
-after euening prayer, onely forbearing the Sabothe daie whollie
-according to our former order. And when yow shall finde that the
-continuance of the same their excercise by the increase of the sicknes
-and infection shalbe dangerous, we praye your Lp. therin to geue vs

-My dutie humblie done to your LLps. I haue receaued significacon of

-players on holydaies in the afternone, being not the sabbat daye,
-so as the same may be done after seruice and without disturbance of
-comon prayer and seruice of God, which as the experience is among vs
-peraduenture not made knowen to your LLps. can very hardly be done.
-For thoughe they beginne not their playes till after euening prayer,
-yet all the time of the afternone before they take in hearers and fill
-the place with such as be therby absent from seruing God at Chirch,
-and attending to serue Gods enemie in an Inne; If for remedie hereof I
-shold also restraine the letting in of the people till after seruice
-in the chirche, it wold driue the action of their plaies into very
-inconuenient time of night, specially for seruantes and children to
-be absent from their parentes and masters attendance and presence:
-Howbet the case is of more inconuenience (as I take it) for that the
-plag increaseth, and the season extraordinarilie whote and perelous

-euen now the renewing and continuance of their exersise by the increase
-of siknes and infection is daungerous, prayeng your LLps. to take order

-not expulse your seruant from playeng his prise, but for your sake I
-did geue him licence. Onely I did restraine him from playeng in an
-Inne which was somewhat to close for infection, and appointed him to
-playe in an open place of the leaden hall more fre from danger and
-more for his Comoditie, which licence I gaue him in open Courte, and
-he might well haue vsed it before increace of peril by heate of the

-your Lp. knoweth what earnest care I ought to haue, and how seriously
-bothe her maiestie and your Lp. with the rest of the most honorable

-my dutie, I was indede inforced to restraine him from gathering publik
-assemblie of people to his play within the Citie, and neuerthelesse
-did allowe him in the open feildes where the peril might not be so

- Cittie of London for Setting Rogues and Idle Persons to Worke,
- and for Releefe of the Poore_, printed by Hugh Singleton (N.D.).
- The B.M. copy (796 E. 37) is catalogued, with the date 1587, as
- an Act of the Court of Aldermen. C. Welch, _The City Printers_
- (_Bibl. Soc. Trans._ xiv. 191), also gives the date as 1587,
- and says that Singleton became City Printer on 4 Aug. 1584.
- Whatever the date of the print, it seems clear from No. lxxv (2)
- (_a_) that the order itself, or at any rate Art. 62 of it, is
- later than the crying of the preachers against plays and earlier
- than the Paris Garden accident of 13 Jan. 1583. The autumn of
- 1582 seems to me the most likely date. Possibly Art. 62 was
- alone new. Aydelotte, 70, says that the Orders which were to
- enforce 18 Eliz. c. 3 were originally printed in 1579 or 1580,
- and refers to _Journal_, xx, pt. ii, f. 325. Art. 61, and also
- Art. 25, which directs an inquest for ‘suspect persons which ...
- spend their times at bowling allies, playes, and other places
- unthriftily’, may belong to the earlier version.]
-
-Art. 61. For helpe of the hospitals & Parishes in this charge all
-churchwardens & collectors for the poore be strayghtly charged to
-execute the lawe against such as come not to church, against al persons
-without exception, and specially against such as while they ought to
-be at diuine seruice, doo spend their time and their money lewdly in
-haunting of plaies, and other idle and wycked pastimes and exercises.
-
-Art. 62. For as much as the playing of Enterludes, & the resort to
-the same are very daungerous for the infection of the plague, whereby
-infinite burdens and losses to the Citty may increase, and are very
-hurtfull in corruption of youth with incontinence & lewdnes, and also
-great wasting both of the time and thrift of many poore people and
-great prouoking of the wrath of God the ground of all plagues, great
-withdrawing of the people from publique prayer & from the seruice of
-God: and daily cryed out against by the graue and earnest admonitions
-of the preachers of the word of God: Therefore be it ordered that all
-such Enterludes in publique places, and the resort to the same shall
-wholy be prohibited as ungodly, and humble sute be made to the Lords

-Lo. Maiour was with his bretherne, and by reason no playes were the
-same daye all the citie was quiet....
-
-Vpon Mondaye night I retorned to London and found all the wardes full
-of watchers. The cause thereof was for that very nere the Theatre or
-Curten at the tyme of the Playes there laye a prentice sleping vpon
-the Grasse, and one Challes _al._ Grostock dyd turne vpon the Too
-vpon the belly of the same prentice, whervpon the apprentice start vp
-and after wordes they fell to playne bloues; the companie encressed of
-bothe sides to the nosmber of v^c at the least. This Challes exclaimed
-and said that he was a gentelman and that the apprentise was but a
-Rascall; and some there were litell better then rooges that tooke vpon
-theym the name of gentilmen and said the prentizes were but the skomme
-of the worlde. Vpon these trobles the prentizes began the next daye,
-being Twesdaye, to make mutines and assembles, and dyd conspire to have
-broken the presones & to have taken furthe the prentizes that were
-imprisoned; but my Lo. and I having intelligens thereof apprensed .iiij.
-or.v. of the chieff conspirators, who are in Newgate and stand Indicted
-of theire lewd demeanors.
-
-Vpon Weddensdaye one Browne, a serving man in a blew coat, a shifting
-fellowe having a perrelous witt of his owne, entending a spoile if
-he cold have browght it to passe, did at Theatre doore querell with
-certen poore boyes, handicraft prentises, and strook some of theym, and
-lastlie he with his sword wondend and maymed one of the boyes vpon the
-left hand; where vpon there assembled nere a ml. people. This Browne
-dyd very cuninglie convey hym selff awaye, but by chaunse he was taken
-after and browght to mr. Humfrey Smithe, and because no man was able to
-charge hym he dismissed hym, and after this Browne was browght before
-mr. Yonge, where he vsed hym selff so connynglie and subtillie, no man
-being there to charge hym, that there also he was demised. And after
-I sent a warraunt for hym, and the Constables with the deputie at the
-Bell in Holbourne found hym in a parlor fast locked in, and he wold not
-obeye the warraunt, but by the meane of the hoost he was conveyed a
-waye, and then I sent for the hoost and caused hym to appere at Newgat
-at the Sessions of Oier and determiner, where he was committed vntill
-he browght furth his gest. The next daye after he browght hym forthe,
-and so we Indicted hym for his misdemeanour. This Browne is a commen
-Cossiner, a thieff, & a horse stealer, and colloreth all his doynges
-here abowt this towne with a sute that he haithe in the lawe agaynst a
-brother of his in Staffordshire. He resteth now in Newgate....
-
-Vpon Weddensdaye, Thursdaye, Frydaye and Satterdaye we dyd nothing els
-but sitt in commission and examine these misdemeanors; we had good
-helpe of my lord Anderson and mr. Sackforthe.
-
-Vpon Sonndaye my Lo. sent ij Aldermen to the Court for the suppressing
-and pulling downe of the Theatre and Curten. All the LL. agreed
-therevnto, saving my Lord Chamberlen and mr. Viz-chamberlen, but we
-obteyned a lettre to suppresse theym all. Vpon the same night I sent
-for the quenes players and my Lo. of Arundel his players, and they
-all willinglie obeyed the LL. lettres. The chiefestes of her highnes
-players advised me to send for the owner of the Theater, who was a
-stubburne fellow, and to bynd hym. I dyd so; he sent me word that he
-was my Lo. of Hunsdons man, and that he wold not come at me, but he
-wold in the mornyng ride to my lord; then I sent the vndershereff for

- 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). Strype says that the
- proposed Remedies were adopted, but it is doubtful whether he
- had any evidence other than the Lansdowne MS. itself.]

-In most humble manner beseche your LLp. your dutifull and daylie

-
- Your LLp: most humblie bownden and daylie Orators,
- her Maiesties poore Players.
-
-[Endorsed] Queens Players their Petition.
-
-
- (2) (_a_)
-
- It may please your good Lp.
-
-The orders in London whereunto the players referr them are
-misconceaued, as may appeare by the two actes of comon Counsell which I
-send yow with note [pointing finger] directing to the place.
-
-The first of these actes of Comon counsell was made in the maraltie
-of Hawes xvij^o Regine, and sheweth a maner how plaies were to be
-tollerated and vsed, althoughe it were rather wished that they were
-wholly discontinued for the causes appearing in the preamble; which is
-for that reason somewhat the longer.
-
-Where the players reporte the order to be that they shold not play till
-after seruice time, the boke [‘fo. 8^o’ added in margin] is otherwise;
-for it is that they shal not onely not play in seruice time, but also
-shal not receue any in seruice time to se the same; for thoughe they
-did forbeare beginning to play till seruice were done, yet all the time
-of seruice they did take in people; which was the great mischef in
-withdrawing the people from seruice.
-
-Afterward when these orders were not obserued, and the lewd maters of
-playes encreasced, and in the haunt vnto them were found many dangers,
-bothe for religion, state, honestie of manners, vnthriftinesse of the
-poore, and danger of infection &c, and the preachers dayly cryeng
-against the L. maiour and his bretheren, in an Act of Common Counsel
-for releafe of the poore which I send yowe printed, in the Article
-62 the last leafe, is enacted as there appeareth, by which there are
-no enterludes allowed in London in open spectacle, but in priuate
-howses onely at marriages or such like, which may suffise, and sute
-is apointed to be made that they may be likewise banished in places
-adioyning.
-
-Since that time and namely upon the ruine at Parise garden, sute was
-made to my LLs. to banishe playes wholly in the places nere London,
-according to the said lawe. 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. Your
-Ls. may do well in your lettres or warrants for their toleration to
-expresse the number of the Quenes players and particularly all their
-names.
-
-
- The remedies.
-
-That they hold them content with playeing in priuate houses at weddings
-etc. without publike assemblies.
-
-If more be thought good to be tolerated: that then they be restrained
-to the orders in the act of common Counsell tempore Hawes.
-
-That they play not openly till the whole death in London haue ben by xx
-daies under 50 a weke, nor longer than it shal so continue.
-
-That no playes be on the sabbat.
-
-That no playeing be on holydaies but after euening prayer: nor any
-receiued into the auditorie till after euening prayer.
-
-That no playeing be in the dark, nor continue any such time but as any
-of the auditorie may returne to their dwellings in London before sonne
-set, or at least before it be dark.
-
-That the Quenes players only be tolerated, and of them their number and
-certaine names to be notified in your Lps. lettres to the L. Maior and
-to the Iustices of Middlesex and Surrey. And those her players not to
-diuide themselues into seueral companies.
-
-That for breaking any of the orders, their toleration cesse.

-government thearof by the sayed playes, I haue embouldened my self to
-bee an humble suiter to your good L. to bee a means for vs rather to
-suppresse all such places built for that kynd of exercise, then to
-erect any more of the same sort. I am not ignorant (my very good L.)
-what is alleadged by soom for defence of these playes, that the people
-must haue soom kynd of recreation, & that policie requireth to divert
-idle heads & other ill disposed from other woorse practize by this kynd
-of exercize. Whearto may bee answeared (which your good L. for your

-thing very meet for all sorts of men, so no kynd of exercise, beeing
-of itself corrupt & prophane, can well stand with the good policie
-of a Christian Common Wealth. And that the sayed playes (as they are
-handled) ar of that sort, and woork that effect in such as ar present
-and frequent the same, may soon bee decerned by all that haue any
-godly vnderstanding & that obserue the fruites & effects of the same,
-conteining nothing ells but vnchast fables, lascivious divises, shifts
-of cozenage, & matters of lyke sort, which ar so framed & represented
-by them, that such as resort to see & hear the same, beeing of the base
-& refuse sort of people or such yoong gentlemen as haue small regard
-of credit or conscience, draue the same into example of imitation &
-not of avoyding the sayed lewd offences. Which may better appear by
-the qualitie of such as frequent the sayed playes, beeing the ordinary
-places of meeting for all vagrant persons & maisterles men that hang
-about the Citie, theeues, horsestealers, whoremoongers, coozeners,
-conny-catching persones, practizers of treason, & such other lyke,
-whear they consort and make their matches to the great displeasure of
-Almightie God & the hurt and annoyance of hir Maiesties people, both
-in this Citie & other places about, which cannot be clensed of this
-vngodly sort (which by experience wee fynd to bee the very sinck &
-contagion not only of this Citie but of this whole Realm), so long as
-these playes & places of resort ar by authoritie permitted. I omit
-to trouble your L. with any farther matter how our apprentices and
-servants ar by this means corrupted & induced hear by to defraud their
-Maisters, to maintein their vain & prodigall expenses occasioned by
-such evill and riotous companie, whearinto they fall by these kynd of
-meetings, to the great hinderance of the trades & traders inhabiting
-this Citie, and how people of all sorts ar withdrawen thearby from
-their resort vnto sermons & other Christian exercise, to the great
-sclaunder of the ghospell & prophanation of the good & godly religion

-vse and moderacion of them retained, The Lordes and the rest of hir
-Maiesties privie Councell, withe one and full Consent, haue ordered in
-manner and forme as followeth.
-
-First, that there shall bee about the Cittie two howses and noe more
-allowed to serue for the vse of the Common Stage plaies, of the which
-howses one shalbe in Surrey in that place which is Commonlie called
-the banckside or there aboutes, and the other in Midlesex. And foras
-muche as there Lordshippes haue bin enformed by Edmond Tylney Esquire,
-hir Maiesties seruant and Master of the Reuells, that the howse now in
-hand to be builte by the said Edward Allen is not intended to encrease
-the number of the Plaiehowses, but to be in steed of an other, namelie
-the Curtaine, Which is either to be ruined and plucked downe or to be
-putt to some other good vse, as also that the scituacion thereof is
-meete and Conuenient for that purpose. Yt is likewise ordered that the
-said howse of Allen shall be allowed to be one of the two howses, and
-namelie for the house to be alowed in Middlesex, [for the Companie
-of Plaiers belonging to the L: Admirall], soe as the house Called
-the Curtaine be (as yt is pretended) either ruinated or applied to
-some other good vse. And for the other allowed to be on Surrey side,
-whereas [there Lordshipps are pleased to permitt] to the Companie of
-players that shall plaie there to make there owne Choice which they
-will haue [of diuers houses that are there], Choosinge one of them and
-noe more, [And the said Companie of Plaiers, being the Seruantes of the
-L. Chamberlen, that are to plaie there haue made choise of the house
-called the Globe, yt is ordered that the said house and none other
-shall be there allowed]. And especiallie yt is forbidden that anie
-stage plaies shalbe plaied (as sometimes they haue bin) in any Common
-Inn for publique assemblie in or neare about the Cittie.
-
-Secondlie, forasmuche as these stage plaies, by the multitude of
-houses and Companie of players, haue bin too frequent, not seruing for
-recreacion but inviting and Callinge the people daily from there trad
-and worke to mispend there time, It is likewise ordered that the two
-seuerall Companies of Plaiers assigned vnto the two howses allowed
-maie play each of them in there seuerall howse twice a weeke and noe
-oftener, and especially that they shall refraine to play on the Sabboth
-daie, vppon paine of imprisonment and further penaltie, and that they
-shall forbeare altogether in the time of Lent, and likewise at such
-time and times as anie extraordinarie sicknes or infeccion of disease
-shall appeare to be in and about the Cittie.
-
-Thirdlie, because these orders wilbe of litle force and effecte vnlesse
-they be dulie putt in execucion by those to whome yt appertaineth to
-see them executed, It is ordered that seuerall Coppies shall be sent
-to the L. Mayor of London, and to the Iustices of the Peace of the

-vnto them from there Lordshipps, straightlye Charginge them to see the
-execucion of the same, as well by Committinge to prison the owners of
-Plaiehouses and players as shall disobey & resist these orders, as by
-anie other good and lawfull meanes that in there discretion they shall

-they shall se Cause, of there proceedinges therein.

-Two letters of one tenour to the Justices of Middlesex and Surrey.
-It is in vaine for us to take knowledg of great abuses and disorders

-no better execution and observation then it seemeth they do, and wee
-must needes impute the fault and blame thereof to you or some of you,

-and perfourmed, whereof wee may give you a plaine instance in the great
-abuse contynued or rather encreased in the multitude of plaie howses
-and stage plaies in and about the cittie of London.
-
-For whereas about a yeare and a half since (upon knowledge taken of
-the great enormities and disorders by the overmuch frequentinge of
-plaies) wee did carefullie sett downe and prescribe an order to be
-observed concerninge the number of playhowses and the use and exercise
-of stage plaies, with lymytacion of tymes and places for the same
-(namely that there should be but two howses allowed for that use, one
-in Middlesex called the Fortune and the other in Surrey called the
-Globe, and the same with observacion of certaine daies and times as in
-the said order is particularly expressed), in such sorte as a moderate
-practice of them for honest recreation might be contynued, and yet the
-inordinate concourse of dissolute and idle people be restrayned, wee do
-now understande that our said order hath bin so farr from takinge dew
-effect, as in steede of restrainte and redresse of the former disorders
-the multitude of play howses is much encreased, and that no daie
-passeth over without many stage plaies in one place or other within and

-
-The default of perfourmance of which our said order we must in greate

-understoode of any redresse made by you, nor receaved any certificate
-at all of your proceedinges therein, which default or omission wee
-do now pray and require you foorthwith to amende, and to cause our
-said former order to be putt duely in execution, and especiallie to
-call before you the owners of all the other play howses (excepting
-the two howses in Middlesex and Surrey aforementioned), and to take
-good and sufficient bondes of them not to exercise, use or practise,
-nor to suffer from henceforth to be exercised, used or practized any
-stage playinge in their howses, and if they shall refuse to enter into

-and idle people daielie unto publique stage plaies, for the which
-information, as wee do commende your Lordship because it betokeneth
-your care and desire to reforme the disorders of the cittie, so wee
-must lett you know that wee did muche rather expect to understand that
-our order (sett downe and prescribed about a yeare and a half since
-for reformation of the said disorders upon the like complaint at that
-tyme) had bin duelie executed, then to finde the same disorders and
-abuses so muche encreased as they are. The blame whereof, as wee cannot
-but impute in great part to the Justices of the Peace or somme of them
-in the counties of Middlesex and Surrey, who had speciall direction
-and charge from us to see our said order executed for the confines of
-the cittie, wherein the most part of those play howses are scituate,
-so wee do wishe that it might appeare unto us that any thinge hath
-bin endeavoured by the predecessours of you, the Lord Maiour, and by
-you, the Aldermen, for the redresse of the said enormities, and for
-observation and execution of our said order within the cittie.
-
-Wee do therefore once againe renew heereby our direction unto you (as
-wee have donne by our letters to the Justices of Middlesex and Surrey)
-concerninge the observation of our former order, which wee do praie and
-require you to cause duelie and dilligentlie to be put in execution
-for all poyntes thereof, and especiallie for th’expresse and streight

- 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).

-erant graciles, digiti longiusculi, statura corporis mediocris; in
-incessu magnifica, verbis blanda et humanissima; induta forte tum
-temporis erat veste serica alba, cuius oram margaritae preciosissimae
-fabarum magnitudine decorabant, toga superiniecta ex serico nigro,
-cui argentea fila admista, cum cauda longissima, quam Marchionissa

-et magnificentia incederet, nunc cum hoc, mox cum alio loquebatur,
-perhumaniter, qui vel legationis vel alterius rei causa eo venerant,

- SERLIO’S TRATTATO SOPRA LE SCENE
-
-
- [Extract from Sebastiano Serlio’s _Architettura_ (1551), being
- the text of ff. 26^v-31^v of _Il secondo libro di Perspettiva_,
- which also contain five woodcuts, representing (_A_) the
- _profilo_ or section of a stage (f. 26^v), (_B_) the _pianta_
- or ground-plan of the same stage (f. 27^v), (_C_), (_D_), (_E_)
- elevations of a _scena comica_ (f. 28^v), _scena tragica_ (f.
- 29^v), and _scena satyrica_ (f. 30). An English translation,
- through the ‘Dutch’, of the five books of the _Architettura_
- was published in 1611, having been entered in the Stationers’
- Register by Thomas Snodham on 14 Dec. 1611 (Arber, iii. 473).
- Each book has a separate imprint, _London Printed for Robert
- Peake and are to be sold at his shop neere Holborne conduit,
- next to the Sunne Tauerne. Anno Dom. 1611_. Each has also a
- colophon, with slight variants; that of the fifth book, which
- alone names the printer, is _Here endeth the fift Booke: And
- this also is the end of the whole worke of Sebastian Serlius;
- Translated out of Italian into Dutch, and out of Dutch into
- English, at the charges of Robert Peake. Printed at London,
- by Simon Stafford. 1611. B. W._ I do not know whether B. W.
- conceals the name of a translator. Robert Peake, who also
- signs an Epistle to Prince Henry, prefixed to the first book,
- was not a stationer, but a serjeant painter to James. In this
- translation the _Treatise of Scenes_ occupies ff. 23^v-27
- of Bk. ii, ch. 3. The title of this book is _The second
- Booke of Architecture, made by Sebastian Serly, entreating
- of Perspectiue, which is, Inspection, or looking into, by
- shortening of the sight_. The woodcuts are reproduced, with some
- modifications, especially in details of heraldic decoration.]

- THE _PROFILO_ OR SECTION OF A STAGE]
-
-[f. 26^v] Per che ne la seguente carta io trattaro delle Scene e de
-Theatri che a nostri tempi si costumano, onde sara difficile a
-comprendere doue et come si debbia porre l’ orizonte delle scene, per
-essere diuerso modo dalle regole passate, ho voluto far prima questo
-profilo, accio che la pianta in sieme col profilo l’ un per l’ altro si
-possino intendere; ma sara perho bene a studiare prima su la pianta,
-et se quelle cose non si intenderanno ne la pianta, recorrere al
-profilo doue meglio s’ intendera. Primieramente donque io cominciaro
-dal suolo dauanti: loquale sara a l’ altezza de l’ occhio et voglio
-que sia piano et e segnato C, et da B fin a l’ A sara lo suolo leuato
-dalla parte de A la nona parte; et quel diritto piu grosso sopra del
-qual e M dinota lo muro nel capo della sala. Quel diritto piu sottile
-doue e P sara lo pariete della scena cioe l’ ultimo. Il termine doue
-e l’ O e l’ orizonte. 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.

- 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.

-
-
- _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.

- 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). No,
-those boxes, by the iniquity of custome, conspiracy of waiting-women
-and Gentlemen-Ushers, that there sweat together, and the couetousnes of
-Sharers, are contemptibly thrust into the reare, and much new Satten
-is there dambd by being smothred to death in darknesse. 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. The next places that are fild, after the Playhouses
-bee emptied, are (or ought to be) Tauernes, into a Tauerne then let vs
-next march, where the braines of one Hogshead must be beaten out to
-make vp another.

- Excellency, the Lord Marquess of Newcastle_, attached to Richard
- Flecknoe’s _Love’s Kingdom_ (1664), and reprinted in Hazlitt,
- _E. D. S._ 275. 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.

-
-_Truman._ I say, the actors that I have seen, before the Wars, Lowin,
-Taylor, Pollard, and some others, were almost as far beyond Hart and
-his company; as those were, beyond these now in being....
-
-_Lovewit._ Pray, Sir, what master-parts can you remember the old
-‘Blackfriars’ men to act, in Johnson’s, Shakespeare’s, and Fletcher’s
-plays?
-
-_Truman._ What I can at present recollect I’ll tell you. 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.

-In the Reign of King _Charles_ the First, there were Six Play Houses
-allow’d in Town: The _Black-Fryars_ Company, His Majesty’s Servants;

- ACADEMIC PLAYS
-
- [The academic drama only lies on the fringe of my subject, but
- I have included notes on extant English plays in chapters xxiii
- and xxiv, and give below, for the sake of convenience, a list
- of these, and another of those Latin plays which there is any
- positive evidence for assigning to the period 1558–1616 and to
- English authorship. Fuller treatment will be found in G. B.
- Churchill and W. Keller, _Die lateinischen Universitäts-Dramen
- in der Zeit der Königin Elisabeth_ (1898, _Jahrbuch_, xxxiv.
- 220); G. C. Moore Smith, _Notes on Some English University
- Plays_ (1908, _M. L. R._ iii. 141), and _Plays performed in
- Cambridge Colleges before 1583_ (1909, _Fasciculus J. W. Clark
- dicatus_, 265); L. B. Morgan, _The Latin University Drama_
- (1911, _Jahrbuch_, xlvii. 69); and F. S. Boas, _University
- Plays_ (1910, _C. H._ vi. 293, with full bibliography), and
- _University Drama in the Tudor Age_ (1914). Further material
- from Cambridge archives is in preparation by G. C. Moore
- Smith. In addition to the plays given in this list, some are
- incorporated in the description of _The Christmas Prince_ (cf.
- ch. xxiv, s.a. 1607–8.]

-
-A performance was given before Elizabeth at Ch. Ch., Oxford, on 24
-Sept. 1592, with a prologue and epilogue by Gager, which are printed
-with his _Meleager_. But the play was not new, for Sir John Harington,
-who records the 1592 performance in his _Metamorphosis of Ajax_ (1596),
-127, had already named ‘the Oxford Bellum Grammaticale’ as ‘full of
-harmeles myrth’ in his _Apologie of Poetrie_ (1591). The ‘Master
-Spense’ of the S. R. entry may be a confusion with the publisher’s
-name. Wood, _Ath. Oxon._ ii. 533, was told by Richard Gardiner of Ch.
-Ch. that the author was Leonard Hutten, who took his B.A. from Ch. Ch.
-in 1578, and his M.A. in 1582. He was known as a dramatist by 26 Sept.
-1583, when Gager wrote of him (Boas, 256),
-
- Seu scribenda siet Comoedia, seu sit agenda,
- Primum Huttone potes sumere iure locum.
-
-The source was the Latin prose narrative _Bellum Grammaticale_ (1511)

- Moore Smith, _The Cambridge Play ‘Laelia_’ (1911, _M. L. R._ vi.
- 382).
-
- The production is assigned by Fuller, _Hist. of Cambridge_
- (ed. Nichols), 217, to a visit by the Earl of Essex to Cambridge
- as Chancellor of the University in 1597–8. 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. It is possible that, directly or indirectly, it
- influenced _Twelfth Night_.

-
- Greg, _Pastoral_, 247, points out that this must be the
- ‘Fidus Pastor, which was sometimes acted by King’s College men
- in Cambridge’, out of which a contemporary observer thought
- that Daniel’s _Queen’s Arcadia_ (q.v.) was drawn. It is a

- ‘Pedantius de Se’. The title-page has an engraved border
- dated 1583, already used for W. Alexander’s _Monarchicke
- Tragedies_ (1616).]
-
- _Edition_ by G. C. 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). Modern ascriptions
- to Thomas Beard and to Walter Hawkesworth seem to rest on
- misunderstandings.

-
- According to H. de W. Fuller in _M. P._ iv (1906), 41, this is

- _Addl. MS._ 20061. ‘Sapientia Solomonis: Drama Comicotragicum.’
-
- This is an expanded version of the _Sapientia Solomonis_ of Sixt
- Birck (1555). A performance is recorded at Trinity, Cambridge,
- in 1559–60 (Boas, 21, 387), but the prologue and epilogue to
- this version make it clear that it was acted before Elizabeth
- and the _inclita princeps Cecilia_, i. e. Cecilia of Sweden, who
- was in England during 1565–6 (cf. ch. i), by a
-
- puellorum cohors
- Nutrita magnificis tuis e sumptibus.
-
- These were the Westminster boys, who gave the play in 1565–6
- (cf. ch. xii). The elaborately bound and decorated MS. bears
- Elizabeth’s initials in several places, and was evidently the
- ‘book’ officially provided for her.

-
- _Bridgewater MS._ ‘Fortunia.’
-
- The accounts of the royal visit of 7–11 March 1615 do not
- mention the play, and the date of this visit would be ‘1614’.
- It may be the unnamed play given by Cambridge men, not at
- Cambridge, but at Royston in March 1616; the actors are ‘extra

-
- PRINTED PLAYS
-
- [_Preliminary Note._--This is a chronological abstract of plays,
- printed or entered for printing in the Stationers’ Register,
- of which either the entry or the possible date of production
- falls in 1558–1616. 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.]

- APPENDIX M
-
- LOST PLAYS
-
- [_Bibliographical Note._--As unknown prints have turned up in
- the sale of an Irish collection (1907) and the Mostyn sale
- (1919), and others may yet turn up from time to time, I give a
- list of plays as to the existence or preparation for publication
- of which there is some evidence. 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’.]

- 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.

-Royston, called thither from his martial sports of tilt, tourney, and
-barrier, which he followed so earnestly, that he was every day five or
-six hours in armour. The rest of the time was spent in---- and every
-night a play, in all which exercises the Lord Cranbourne attended him,
-keeping an honourable table all the while they were at Greenwich,
-and grows daily into his favour.’ The plays of Jan. 12 and 13 were
-certainly and those of Jan. 15, 19, 21, almost certainly at Greenwich.
-An extant challenge to tilt of 1612 (Clephan, 133, 176, from _Harl.

-are grown very dry, insomuch that of five new plays there is not one

-which stand them in best stead, and bring them most profit’ (John
-Chamberlain).

-
-[779] This payment was by warrant of the Lord Chamberlain.
-
-[780] P. C. Acts name Westcote.
-
-[781] On the unrewarded plays of 1563–4 and 1564–5, cf. ch. vii.
-
-[782] In P. C. Acts, by an obvious error, £7 13_s._ 8_d._
-
-[783] P. C. Acts specify ‘Shrove Tuesday’.
-
-[784] Apparently one play was unrewarded.
-
-[785] P. C. Acts describe the company as Lane’s, and put the
-performance 26 Dec., Windsor 27 Dec., and Paul’s 1 Jan.
-
-[786] P. C. Acts give payees as ‘Lawrence Dutton and his fellows’.
-Wallace, i. 213, states in error that this and the next payment are not
-in _D. A._
-
-[787] P. C. Acts give payee as ‘----, Master of the Children of
-Westminster’.
-
-[788] Wallace, i. 215, reads ‘cumyng’ in error.
-
-[789] In view of the date in the warrant, the ‘Monday’ of the Revels
-Accounts should clearly be ‘Sunday’.
-
-[790] The _D. 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. A._ give Sunday before Shrovetide, which might mean
-either Shrove Sunday (Mar. 4) or the preceding Sunday (Feb. 26).
-
-[792] P. C. Acts name John Dutton, as well as Lawrence, and put
-Muncaster’s play on Sunday. It is safer to follow _D. A._
-
-[793] As the entry stands, it should refer to Warwick’s, but I think it
-probably does refer to Leicester’s.
-
-[794] P. C. 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. Acts give Shrove Sunday for the Chamberlain’s as well as
-Warwick’s.
-
-[801] Both the ‘Twesday’ of the Pipe Office and the ‘Tewsday’ of the
-Audit Office (Wallace, i. 223) _D. A._ are doubtless errors for
-‘Twelfday’. P. C. Acts have ‘Twelfte Daye’.
-
-[802] P. C. Acts give Shrove Sunday (Feb. 9).
-
-[803] P. C. Acts give 23 Dec., obviously in error.
-
-[804] So P. C. Acts.
-
-[805] P. C. Acts do not name Ottewell, and call the company the
-Admiral’s.
-
-[806] P. C. Acts give 27 Dec.
-
-[807] Cf. p. 56.
-
-[808] Dasent reads ‘Flemings’.
-
-[809] P. C. Acts have ‘John’ Shawe.
-
-[810] So P. C. Acts.
-
-[811] For a discussion of these entries, cf. p. 136.
-
-[812] For a discussion of these entries, cf. p. 140.
-
-[813] The payment is for 12 plays; one date [13 Jan.?] is obviously
-omitted.
-
-[814] Cunningham gives the date as 16 Jan.
-
-[815] This item is entered in Account for 1612–13; _Rawl. MS_.
-gives the date.
-
-[816] Cunningham gives this date as 18 Feb.
-
-[817] The dates of the Prince’s, Lady Elizabeth’s, and Revels plays are
-given by _Rawl. MS._ but not _D. A._
-
-[818] This is probably the play of 20 Oct. in the Cockpit to which
-(Birch, i. 198) Elizabeth invited Frederick.
-
-[819] Both _D. A._ and Cunningham, xliii, have the error for £46 13_s._
-4_d._ Both records also date the King’s men’s plays of this winter as
-‘1614’ instead of ‘1613’.
-
-[820] So _D. A._, but Cunningham’s 28 Dec. is more probable.
-
-[821] Henceforward play payments are by warrant from Lord Chamberlain,
-not Privy Council; cf. ch. vii.
-
-[822] This item is entered in the Account for 1615–16.
-
-[823] This item is entered in the Account for 1616–17.
-

-
-1.F.
-
-1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
-effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
-works not protected by U.S. copyright law in creating the Project
-Gutenberg-tm collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm
-electronic works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may
-contain "Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate
-or corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other
-intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or
-other medium, a computer virus, or computer codes that damage or
-cannot be read by your equipment.
-
-1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right

-defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
-receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
-written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you
-received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium
-with your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you
-with the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in

-
-1.F.6. INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
-trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
-providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in
-accordance with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the
-production, promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm
-electronic works, harmless from all liability, costs and expenses,
-including legal fees, that arise directly or indirectly from any of
-the following which you do or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this
-or any Project Gutenberg-tm work, (b) alteration, modification, or
-additions or deletions to any Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any
-Defect you cause.
-
-Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
-electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
-computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It
-exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations
-from people in all walks of life.
-
-Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
-assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
-goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
-remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
-and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future
-generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see
-Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
-www.gutenberg.org
-
-Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation
-
-The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non-profit
-501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
-state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
-Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
-number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by
-U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.
-
-The Foundation's business office is located at 809 North 1500 West,
-Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887. Email contact links and up
-to date contact information can be found at the Foundation's website
-and official page at www.gutenberg.org/contact
-
-Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
-Literary Archive Foundation
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without
-widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
-increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
-freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest
-array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
-($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
-status with the IRS.
-
-The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
-charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
-States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
-considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
-with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
-where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
-DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular
-state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
-have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
-against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
-approach us with offers to donate.
-
-International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
-any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
-outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
-
-Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation
-methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
-ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
-donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
-
-Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
-Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be
-freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
-distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of
-volunteer support.
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
-editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
-the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
-necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
-edition.
-
-Most people start at our website which has the main PG search
-facility: www.gutenberg.org
-
-This website includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
-including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
-subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

-<h2>NOTE</h2>
-</div>
-
-
-<p>I have found it convenient, especially in Appendix A, to use the symbol
-&lt; following a date, to indicate an uncertain date not earlier than that
-named, and the symbol &gt; followed by a date, to indicate an uncertain
-date not later than that named. Thus 1903 &lt; &gt; 23 would indicate the
-composition date of any part of this book. I have sometimes placed the
-date of a play in italics, where it was desirable to indicate the date
-of production rather than publication.</p>
-
-<p>The documents from J. R. Dasent, <i>Acts of the Privy Council</i>
-(1890–1907), are reprinted by permission of the Controller of His
-Majesty’s Stationery Office.</p>

-
-<p>The play has been ascribed to Shakespeare by Collier, to Shakespeare
-and Marston by Simpson, and to Lodge by Fleay, <i>Shakespeare</i>, 291,
-but no serious case has been made out for any of these claims. Bullen,

-
-<p>Fragment in Devonshire collection.</p>
-
-<p>[The t.p. is lost, but the seventeenth-century play lists (Greg,
-<i>Masques</i>, xlvii) include an interlude called <i>Albion</i>. 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><i>Editions</i> by J. P. Collier (1844, <i>Sh. Soc. Papers</i>, i. 55)
-and W. W. Greg (1910, <i>M. S. C.</i> i. 229).&mdash;<i>Dissertations</i>:
-M. H. Dodds, <i>The Date of A. K.</i> (1913, 3 <i>Library</i>, iv.
-157); G. A. 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 &gt; 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>

-
-<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,

-<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>

-
-<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>

-
-<p>This is pretty clearly a University play, and any connexion with the
-<i>Hercules</i> of the Admiral’s men in 1595 is highly improbable. As
-George Peele died in 1596, it seems difficult to identify him with

-
-<p>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 <i>Farewell</i> of 1589
-(cf. s.v. Peele, <i>Battle of Alcazar</i>). Schoell makes an elaborate
-case for Chapman, and thinks that the play might be <i>The Fatall Love,
-a French Tragedy</i>, entered as his in <i>S. R.</i> on 29 June 1660,
-and included, without author’s name, in Warburton’s list of burnt plays
-(3 <i>Library</i>, ii. 231). A date later than 1584 is indicated by the

-
-<p>The play is described by Fuller, <i>Hist. of Cambridge</i> (1655), 156,
-as given at Clare Hall in 1597–8. But J. S. Hawkins, in his edition of
-Ruggle’s <i>Ignoramus</i> (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<span class="pagenum" id="Page_6">[6]</span>
-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.</p>

-
-<p>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 <i>Common Conditions</i>. L. Kellner, in
-<i>Englische Studien</i>, 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 <i>Englische Studien</i>, xiv. 344. Fleay,
-70, assigned it, with <i>Common Conditions</i>, to R. Wilson. Later
-(ii. 295), he substituted R[ichard] B[ower]. He noted a parallel to
-Thomas Preston’s <i>Cambyses</i>, and suggested as a date 1570 or
-1578, the years, according to him, of the original production and of a
-revival of <i>Cambyses</i>. G. L. Kittredge, in <i>Journal of Germanic
-Philology</i>, ii. 8, suggests that Preston himself was the author
-of <i>Sir Clyomon and Clamydes</i>. 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 <i>The Four Kings</i> licensed for Henslowe (i. 103)
-in March 1599; but an old Queen’s play would not have needed a licence.

-<p>The authorship was first ascribed to Shakespeare (with that of <i>Edw.
-IV</i> and <i>Edw. II</i>!) in Rogers and Ley’s play-list of 1656
-(Greg, <i>Masques</i>, 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 <i>Hen. V</i> and<span class="pagenum" id="Page_10">[10]</span> other works of the ‘nineties, of which the

-<p class="p-left">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; <i>Shakespeare</i>, 282)
-that the use of the phrase ‘Ave, Caesar’ in <span class="allsmcap">I.</span> i. 164 caused
-its use in Greene’s <i>Francesco’s Fortunes</i> 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

-von König Edward iv und ihre Quellen</i> (1907, Jena diss.).</p>
-
-<p>Sander and others date the play 1594, by an identification with the
-anonymous <i>Siege of London</i> 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 <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). A play, apparently on the same subject, was
-performed by English actors at Graz on 19 Nov. 1607 (Herz, 98).</p>

-
-<p>Fleay, ii. 321, suggests a date <i>c.</i> 1602 on the ground of
-apparent reference to the <i>Poetomachia</i>. But this is not
-conclusive, and Adams points to the use of a song (p. 335) from
-Bateson’s <i>Madrigals</i> (1604). He thinks that Lewis Machin was
-the author, as the style resembles that of the comic part of <i>The
-Dumb Knight</i> (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. <i>Sir Giles

-
-<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>

-<p>The epistle says ‘I commende to your freendly viewe this prettie
-Conceit, as well for the inuention, as the delicate conueiance thereof:
-not doubting but you will so esteeme thereof, as it dooth very well
-deserue, and I hartely desire’. 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. P.</i> (231) combines ll.
-661–2 and 655–6 of the play over the signature G. Chapman. This has
-led Crawford (<i>E. S.</i> 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
-<i>E. P.</i> 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. In any case, the play is only a translation
-from L. Pasqualigo’s <i>Il Fedele</i> (1576).</p>

-<i>Henslowe</i>, ii. 158). The Chatsworth copy has on the title-page
-the following notes in two early seventeenth-century hands: ‘Written
-by ... a minister, who ac[ted] the piñers p̄t in it himself. Teste
-W. Shakespea[re]’, and ‘Ed Iuby saith that the play was made by Ro.
-Gree[ne]’. These, though first produced by Collier, appear (<i>M.
-S. C.</i> i. 288) to be genuine. Greene’s authorship has been very
-commonly accepted. Fleay, i. 264, ii. 51, supposed first Greene and
-Peele, then added Lodge, but, although the text has been abridged,
-there is no evidence of double authorship. Oliphant’s suggestion (<i>M.
-P.</i> viii. 433) of revision by Heywood only rests on the inclusion of
-the play next his in the Cockpit list of 1639 (<i>Variorum</i>, iii.
-159). R. B. McKerrow thinks (<i>M. S. C.</i> i. 289) that the ‘by Ro.
-Greene’ of the note may mean ‘about Ro. Greene’ as a leading incident
-is apparently based on an episode of Greene’s life. An allusion in
-<span class="allsmcap">I.</span> i. 42 to <i>Tamburlaine</i> gives an anterior limit of date.</p>

-
-<p>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’ (<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 &amp; 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). Fleay’s identifications of
-Chapman himself with Clarence and Drayton with Goosecap hardly deserve
-consideration.</p>

-
-<p>Of I. T. nothing is known. Greg (<i>Henslowe</i>, 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
-&amp; his dame’. The entry was subsequently cancelled, and presumably
-Haughton transferred the play to another company. Sykes calls attention
-to analogies with <i>Englishmen for my Money</i>, which confirm the
-probability of Haughton’s authorship. It is only the ascription of
-1662 to I. T. which causes hesitation. Farmer (<i>Hand List</i>, 19)
-suggests that this was John Tatham. Grim and the Devil both appear
-in the <i>Like Will to Like</i> 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.</p>

-
-<p>In <i>Tarlton’s Jests</i> (ed. Halliwell for <i>Sh. Soc.</i> 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 <i>Pierce
-Penilesse</i> (1592, <i>Works</i>, i. 213) speaks of ‘<i>Henrie</i> 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<sup>th</sup>’
-by Collier, is really ‘harey the 6’ (Greg, <i>Henslowe</i>, ii. 152,

-
-<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>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>. I note the
-following parallel from S. Rowlands, <i>The Letting of Humors Blood in
-the Head-Veine</i> (1600), Sat. iv:</p>

-
-<p>The play has come to light since the issue of <i>The Mediaeval
-Stage</i>, 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 <i>Nice Wanton</i>,
-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:</p>
-

-
-<p>All critics have recognized the style as Marston’s and some of the
-vocabulary is vomited in <i>Poetaster</i>; 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

-and guls’ and ‘vile imitating spirits’. They are Mellidus, Musus, and
-Decius. I take them to be Marston, Middleton, and Dekker, all writers

-
-<p>Fleay, ii. 153, Schütt, and Robertson, 121, all incline to suggest the

-<p>The ascription by Fleay, ii. 27, and Sarrazin to Kyd is rejected on
-stylistic grounds by R. Fischer, <i>Zur Kunstentwicklung der Englischen

-to the jubilee of 1600 (<span class="allsmcap">I.</span> i. 25) points to a date at the
-beginning of<span class="pagenum" id="Page_23">[23]</span> 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 <i>Don Horatio</i>, and sometimes under that of the
-<i>Comedy of Jeronimo</i>, during a run of, and several times on the
-night before, the <i>Spanish Tragedy</i> (Greg, <i>Henslowe</i>, 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 <i>Spanish
-Tragedy</i> 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 <i>in
-decimo sexto</i>’ in the induction to the 1604 version of Marston’s
-<i>Malcontent</i>. It must be uncertain whether <i>1 Jeronimo</i> was
-the ‘Komödie vom König in Spanien und dem Vice-Roy in Portugall’ given
-at Dresden in 1626 (Herz, 66, 76).</p>

-
-<p>The Queen’s and Sussex’s revived ‘kinge leare’ for Henslowe on
-6 and 8 April 1594, shortly before the first S. R. entry (Greg,
-<i>Henslowe</i>, 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 <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. But
-although 1605 is not an<span class="pagenum" id="Page_26">[26]</span> impossible date for Shakespeare’s production,
-1606 is on other grounds more probable.</p>

-<p>A reference to ‘childish yeeres’ in the prologue points to boy actors.
-The trial (l. 1261) is for an alleged crime on 4 Feb., 43 Eliz. (1601),
-and the next court performance after this date was on 22 Feb. 1601 by
-the Chapel, to which occasion the production may be assigned. 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 <i>Prodigality</i>

-<p class="p-left">an allusion which was not chronologically accurate until
-the close of<span class="pagenum" id="Page_27">[27]</span> 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 (<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. 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.</p>

-
-<p>Shakespeare’s authorship is accepted by few modern critics. An
-exception is Hopkinson. Fleay, <i>Shakespeare</i>, 299; <i>B. C.</i> i.

-is the same<span class="pagenum" id="Page_28">[28]</span> as that of <i>Thomas Lord Cromwell</i>, whom he believes

-
-<p>At the end of the play Gloucester proposes to fight the Saracens in
-Portugal, and as Anthony Wadeson (q.v.) was writing <i>The Honourable
-Life of the Humorous Earl of Gloster with his Conquest of Portugal</i>
-in June or July 1601, it has been suggested by Fleay, ii. 267, and
-Greg, <i>Henslowe</i>, ii. 204, that Wadeson was also the author of
-<i>Look About You</i>. The play ought itself to appear somewhere in
-Henslowe’s diary, and Fleay may be right in identifying it with the
-<i>Bear a Brain</i> of 1599, although the only recorded payment for
-that play was not to Wadeson, but to Dekker. There are reminiscences of

-
-<p>Fleay, ii. 26, assigns the play to Kyd on account of the similarity
-of the plot to that of <i>Soliman and Perseda</i>, but this is hardly
-convincing. On 30 Dec. 1582 Derby’s players performed <i>A History of
-Love and Fortune</i> 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

-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 (<i>a</i>) the Anabaptists and
-(<i>b</i>) 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.

-
-<p>Archer’s play list of 1656 (Greg, <i>Masques</i>, lxxxvi) started an
-ascription to Lyly, which was probably suggested by the similarity of
-name to <i>Love’s Metamorphosis</i>. 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 <span class="allsmcap">IV.</span> 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. <span class="allsmcap">V</span>), but, though ‘three or
-foure Muses’ dance at the end of the play, there is no indication of a

-
-<p>B. Dobell, in <i>Athenaeum</i> for 14 Sept. 1901, described a MS.
-in his possession with the title A Register of all the Noble Men of
-England sithence the Conquest Created. The date of compilation is
-probably 1570–90. On f. 3 is the argument in English of a play headed:</p>

-<p class="p-left">Presumably the play was in English also. It was classical in manner
-with five acts, a chorus, and dumb-shows. Act I opened with a dumb-show
-before Melpomene of the Fates, Althea and the burning brand. It seems
-distinct from the <i>Meleager</i> of W. Gager (q.v.).</p>

-
-<p>Moseley’s attribution was repeated in the play lists of Archer in
-1656 and Kirkman in 1661 (Greg, <i>Masques</i>, lxxxix), and the play
-was bound with <i>Mucedorus</i> and <i>Fair Em</i> as ‘Shakespeare,
-vol. i’ in Charles II’s library. The attempt of Fleay, ii. 313 (cf.
-his <i>Shakespeare</i>, 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 (<i>Dodsley</i><sup>2</sup>, v. 247) that the author was
-Drayton. He puts it in 1597, apparently because Jessica calls Lancelot
-a ‘merry devil’ in <i>M. V.</i> <span class="allsmcap">II.</span> iii. 2. But the Host is
-pretty clearly copied from him of the <i>Merry Wives</i> (<i>c.</i>
-1599), and allusions to the king’s hunting (<span class="allsmcap">IV.</span> 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 <i>Black Book</i> (Bullen, <i>Middleton</i>, viii.
-36). Jonson calls it ‘your dear delight’ in the prologue to <i>The
-Devil is an Ass</i> (1616), and it was revived at court on 3 May 1618

-G. L. Kittredge, <i>The M. and Laurence Johnson</i> (1901, <i>J. G.
-P.</i> iii. 335).</p>
-
-<p>Brandl, following Collier, ii. 368, 378, dates the play in 1560, on the
-ground of an allusion in <span class="allsmcap">IV.</span> 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 <span class="allsmcap">III.</span>
-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 <i>c.</i> 1560 or, in a provincial play,
-of <i>c.</i> 1577, or, as Bond suggests, a reviser of <i>c.</i> 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. <span class="allsmcap">III</span>. 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. [The wrapper is endorsed,
-‘The Booke of Sir Thomas Moore’, and is in part composed of a vellum
-leaf also used for that of Munday’s <i>John a Kent and John a
-Cumber</i>. 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: (<i>a</i>) the writer of the original text, whom he
-has now identified (<i>M. L. R.</i> viii. 89) with Munday; (<i>b</i>)
-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. <i>infra</i>) for Shakespeare; (<i>c</i>) 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 &amp; the Cause ther off &amp; begin with S<sup>r</sup> 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 &amp; nott otherwise att your own perrilles E. Tyllney’.
-Whether Greg is right in calling this a ‘conditional licence’ I am not
-sure, but he corrects earlier writers by pointing out that the extant
-insertions do not carry out Tilney’s instructions, and were probably
-made before the play reached him. 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.]</p>

-
-<p>The play has been dated <i>c.</i> 1586 and <i>c.</i> 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, <i>Eliz., passim</i>), 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 <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>

-
-<p>Fleay, with 1606 in his mind, finds here an apology for <i>The Fox</i>,
-thinking Jonson the raven and <i>Eastward Hoe</i> 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.</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. 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</i> (1653/4).</p>
-
-<p>Either <i>Mucedorus</i> or Greene’s <i>Alphonsus</i> (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 <i>Mucedorus</i> influenced Pieter
-Hooft’s Dutch pastoral <i>Granida</i> (1605).</p>

-
-<p>The final prayer is for Elizabeth, and Avarice played in the days of

-the ground of an allusion to a ‘square caps’ controversy of 1550. But
-this was still vigorous in 1565 (cf. Parker’s <i>Letters</i>, 240).
-Fleay also says that the <i>Nugize</i> of Captain Cox’s collection
-(Laneham, 30) is <i>Mankind</i> (<i>Med. Stage</i>, ii. 438) in which

-
-<p>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 <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. 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. Above is written ‘Nemo’ and ‘Neminis Virtus ubique Laudabilis.’
-A version is also in the Anglo-German collection of 1620 (Herz, 66,
-112).</p>

-<i>Epigrams</i>, both of 1598, are mentioned (212). The prologue to 2,
-which is a ‘Christmas toy’ (18), deprecates the former courtesy of ‘our
-stage’:</p>

-
-<p>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 <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

-
-<p><i>Belvedere</i> (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).</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 &amp;
-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>

-foreshadows, might also have contributed. 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. The attack on the Puritan ministers was resented in W.

-
-<p>The play deals with an earlier part of the reign than that of
-Shakespeare’s <i>Richard II</i>. Keller concludes from a study of
-parallel passages that it was known to Shakespeare, and that the
-author knew Marlowe’s <i>Edward II</i> and <i>2 Henry VI</i>. 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 <i>Egerton MS.</i> 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 <i>1 Rich. II</i> 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. Toby Mills died in 1585, but might have left a son or godson of

-
-<p>Collier, <i>Shakespeare</i>, v. 342, put the play earlier than 1588 on
-the ground that the epilogue in praise of Elizabeth makes no mention
-of the Armada. But ‘She hath put proud Antichrist to flight’ may<span class="pagenum" id="Page_44">[44]</span>
-pass for such a mention. 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 <i>The Contention between
-York and Lancaster</i>. 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 <i>Contention</i>, and finds influences, not very striking, of
-Marlowe’s <i>Tamburlaine</i>, <i>Faustus</i>, and <i>Edward II</i>.
-He concludes for 1590–1. There is very little trace of any use by
-Shakespeare of this play for his <i>Richard III</i>.</p>
-

-hands: (<i>a</i>) a scribe or copyist of the original text and certain
-additions on inserted slips; (<i>b</i>) a corrector, probably the
-author; (<i>c</i>) the Master of the Revels, Buck; (<i>d</i>) a
-theatre official, who added stage-directions. The contributions of
-(<i>b</i>) and (<i>c</i>) are not wholly distinguishable, especially
-where mere deletions are in question, as the author may, besides
-literary corrections, have made others due to the hints, or known
-views, of Buck as censor. 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<sup>th</sup> the
-reformations bee acted publikely. 31 octob<sup>r</sup>. 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<sup>th</sup> 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 <i>Library</i>, ii. 232) includes ‘2<sup>d</sup>. p<sup>t</sup>. Maidens Trag̃.

-
-<p>The play may be assigned to the King’s men, in view of stage-directions
-to ll. 1724, 1928, which show that ‘M<sup>r</sup> 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
-<i>Shakespeare’s Vorschule</i> (1829, ii), argued for Massinger, whose
-lost <i>Tyrant</i> he took the play to be. No doubt the chief character
-is only entitled ‘Tyrant’ in the manuscript. But the <i>Tyrant</i> 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 <i>The
-Usurping Tyrant</i>, and that the play was by the author of <i>The
-Revenger’s Tragedy</i>, generally assigned to Tourneur. Rosenbach
-doubts Massinger, and thinks Tourneur’s hand traceable. Swinburne seems
-to have suggested Middleton.</p>

-(1899, Kiel diss.); cf. s. <i>Locrine</i>.</p>
-
-<p>The T. 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] <i>England’s Parnassus</i> (1600). This is fairly
-strong evidence, and Greene’s authorship is supported by Grosart,
-Brooke (<i>Sh. Apocrypha</i>, xix), and Gilbert. Ward and Gayley (<i>R.
-E. C.</i> i. 420) take the opposite view. Crawford, who points out
-(<i>E. P.</i> 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 <i>Locrine</i>
-(q.v.), from which <i>Selimus</i> clearly borrows. It can therefore
-hardly be of earlier date than 1591. The Conclusion, or epilogue,
-promises a second part, of which nothing is known.</p>

-
-<p>‘Tom Stucley’ is named as a stage hero by Peele in his <i>Farewell</i>
-(1589); but the present play is probably the <i>Stewtley</i> produced
-by the Admiral’s on 11 Dec. 1596 (Greg, <i>Henslowe</i>, ii. 181).
-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,
-<i>c.</i> 1600, out of <i>Stewtley</i> and a <i>Mahomet</i> by Peele.
-Apparently he starts from <i>Satiromastix</i>, 980, where Horace says
-that Demetrius Fannius ‘cut an innocent Moore i’ the middle, to serue
-him in twice; &amp; when he had done, made Poules-worke of it’. But surely

-
-<p>The actors’ names point to a performance by the Admiral’s, near 2 Oct.

-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

-F. S. Boas (1908, <i>Sh. Classics</i>), and J. S. Farmer (<i>S. F.
-T.</i>).</p>
-
-<p>The Admiral’s and Chamberlain’s revived ‘the tamynge of A shrowe’ for
-Henslowe on 11 June 1594, shortly after the entry in S. R. (Greg,
-<i>Henslowe</i>, ii. 164). 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

-
-<p>The ascription of the title-page is rejected by Stoll, <i>Webster</i>,
-34, and modern writers generally, although Stork, <i>Rowley</i>, 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 <i>Curan and Argentile</i> (1617). But William Webster took
-it from Warner’s <i>Albion’s England</i> (1586), iv. xx. From the same
-source Greene took it, with a change of names, for <i>Menaphon</i>
-(1589), and it is <i>Menaphon</i>, 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 <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>

-copies have a variant t.p. with the additional words ‘Together, with
-an exact Catalogue of all the playes that were ever yet printed’,
-and as Kirkman’s catalogue of 1661 is appended, he was doubtless the
-publisher.]</p>
-
-<p><i>Editions</i> by F. E. Schelling (1900, <i>M. L. A.</i> xv. 253), G.
-C. Moore Smith and W. W. Greg (1910, <i>M. S. R.</i>), and J. S. Farmer
-(1912, <i>T. F. T.</i>).</p>
-
-<p>The S. 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, <i>Masques</i>, 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. Phillips,
-<i>Theatrum Poetarum</i> (1675), to assign the authorship to W. Wager
-(<i>M. S. C.</i> i. 325).</p>

-
-<p>Bullen thinks this may be <i>Love Parts Friendship</i>, written by
-Chettle and Smith for the Admiral’s in 1602; Fleay, ii. 318, that
-it may be the <i>Burbon</i> brought to the Admiral’s by Pembroke’s
-in 1597, as the Duke of Bourbon is a chief personage, and also the
-<i>Cutting Dick</i> to<span class="pagenum" id="Page_51">[51]</span> which Heywood wrote additions for Worcester’s
-in 1602 (Greg, <i>Henslowe</i>, 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 <i>Edward IV</i> (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.</p>

-
-<p>The text is given by Greg, <i>Henslowe Papers</i>, 142, who infers from
-the names of the characters that it may have been the <i>Troilus and

-late date, and the assertion of Fleay, i. 26, that this is <i>The
-Welshman</i> revived by the Admiral’s on 29 Nov. 1595 may be
-disregarded (Greg, <i>Henslowe</i>, ii. 178). There is nothing, beyond

-
-<p>References to ‘this fair circuit’ and ‘this Round’ are inconclusive
-as to whether the play was produced before the Chamberlain’s went to
-the Globe in 1599, as their earlier houses were probably also round.
-E. Phillips, <i>Theatrum Poetarum</i> (1675), 113, and A. Wood,
-<i>Athenae</i> (1691), i. 676, assign the authorship, incredibly, to

-
-<p>The play, clearly influenced by <i>Tamburlaine</i>, may rest on
-one by Farrant (q.v.) <i>c.</i> 1578. There is no record of any
-court performance by the Chapel between 1584 and 1601. Fleay, ii.
-322, guesses that an allusion in Nashe’s <i>Summer’s Last Will and
-Testament</i> (q.v.) points to a performance of this play at Croydon
-twelve months earlier. The text is disordered. A prologue ‘To the
-audience’ is inserted in Act <span class="allsmcap">II</span> at 621 and refers to a chorus,
-but there is none. At 367 is ‘Finis Actus primi’, but ‘Actus Secundus’

-
-<p>The ascription of the play to Dekker and Webster by E. Phillips,
-<i>Theatrum Poetarum</i> (1675), 116, was rejected by Langbaine (1691)
-and, so far as Webster is concerned, has nothing to recommend it (E.
-Stoll, <i>Webster</i>, 34). Ward, iii. 56, finds Dekker’s humour,
-and Hunt, <i>Dekker</i>, 42, thinks it Chettle’s, revised by Dekker.
-Fleay,<span class="pagenum" id="Page_53">[53]</span> ii. 114, gives it to Munday, as the only known writer for
-Oxford’s, except Oxford himself. But he is thinking of Oxford’s boy
-company of 1580–4, not of the later company of 1601 or earlier, to
-whose repertory the play probably belonged, and with whom Munday is not

-
-<p>The register of Merton College, Oxford, has for 3 Jan. 1567 the entry,
-‘Acta est Wylie Beguylie Comoedia Anglica nocte in aedibus Custodis
-per scolares, praesentibus Vicecustode, magistris, baccalaureis, cum
-omnibus domesticis et nonnullis extraneis; merito laudandi recte agendo
-prae se tulerunt summam spem’ (Boas, 157). 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. V.</i>
-and earlier plays, seem also to extend to <i>Hamlet</i>, <i>M. W.</i>,
-and <i>T. N.</i>, and the right date may be <i>c.</i> 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, <i>Shakespeare Manual</i>, 272, makes an amazing attempt to
-interpret the play as a<span class="pagenum" id="Page_54">[54]</span> satire on Lyly, Lodge, Marston, Chettle,
-Dekker, Drayton, Middleton, Chapman, Jonson, Henslowe, the Admiral’s,
-the Chamberlain’s, the Chapel, and Paul’s. In the Induction, a juggler

-
-<p>This ten-scene play from a four-play bill has merit, but most
-modern critics are unable to regard that merit as of Shakespearian
-type, although Ward, ii. 231, finds Shakespeare’s hand in some
-passages, and Fleay, after wantonly guessing at Edmund Shakespeare
-(<i>Shakespeare</i>, 303), remained impressed (ii. 206) by the
-external evidence, and thought that the play must be Shakespeare’s
-original ending to an earlier version of <i>The Miseries of Enforced
-Marriage</i>, subsequently altered by his collaborator, George Wilkins
-(q.v.), to end happily. This is ingenious, but too conjectural. The
-play, like that of Wilkins, takes its material from the history of
-Walter Calverley, executed for murder on 5 Aug. 1605, which is told in
-Stowe’s <i>Annales</i> and was the subject of contemporary pamphlets.
-Dobell and Sykes argue a case on internal evidence for the authorship

-signed ‘W. C.’ The publication is recorded in Trinity Term 1688 (Arber,
-<i>London Term Catalogues</i>, ii. 230).]</p>
-
-<p><i>Editions</i> in Nichols, <i>Elizabeth</i><sup>1, 2</sup>, iii. 262
-(1807–23), and by W. W. Greg (1914, <i>M. S. R.</i>) and B. Brown
-(1921).</p>
-
-<p>This is a narrative of the reign of a Christmas Prince, or Lord of<span class="pagenum" id="Page_56">[56]</span>
-Misrule (cf. <i>Mediaeval Stage</i>, i. 417), appointed at Gray’s Inn
-for the Christmas of 1594. 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.</p>
-
-<p>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 <i>Plautus</i>
-his <i>Menechmus</i>) 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, <i>The Night of Errors</i>’.
-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 <i>Comedy of
-Errors</i> 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. (<i>M. L. R.</i> ii.
-10).</p>
-
-<p>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 <i>Inner Temple
-Petyt MS.</i> 583, 43, f. 294.</p>
-
-<p>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’.</p>
-
-<p>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.</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, &amp;c.’; then took ladies, and danced
-‘their galliards, courants, &amp;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 &amp; shewes
-this Shrovetyde at the court before the Queens Majestie’. There was
-also a levy on 8 May for the ‘shewes &amp; 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, &amp;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>

-<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. P. Collier, <i>Five Court Masques</i> (1848),
-131, with title ‘The Masque of the Twelve Months’.</p>
-
-<p>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.</p>
-
-<p>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).</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. The use
-of Pigwiggen as a fairy name recurs in Drayton’s <i>Nymphidia</i>,
-published in 1627.</p>

-<h4><i>Mask of Flowers. 6 Jan. 1614</i></h4>
-
-<p><i>S. R.</i> 1614, Jan. 21 (Nidd). ‘The maske of flowers by the gent.
-of Graies Inne vppon Twelfe Night 1613.’ <i>Robert Wilson</i> (Arber,
-iii. 540).</p>
-
-<p>1614. The Maske of Flowers. Presented By the Gentlemen of Graies-Inne,
-at the Court of Whitehall, in the Banquetting House, vpon Twelfe
-night, 1613. Being the last of the Solemnities and Magnificences which
-were performed at the marriage of the right honourable the Earle of
-Somerset, and the Lady Francis daughter of the Earle of Suffolke, Lord
-Chamberlaine. <i>N. O. for Robert Wilson.</i> [With Epistle to Sir
-Francis Bacon by I. G., W. D., T. B. These initials, presumably of
-Gray’s Inn men, have not been identified.]</p>
-
-<p><i>Editions</i> in Nichols, <i>James</i> (1828), ii. 735, and H. A.
-Evans, <i>English Masques</i> (1897).</p>
-
-<p>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.</p>
-
-<p>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.</p>
-
-<p>For general notices of the Somerset wedding masks, cf. s.v. Campion,
-<i>Mask of Squires</i>. 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<span class="pagenum" id="Page_60">[60]</span>
-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’.</p>
-
-<p>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.</p>
-
-<p>Osborne, <i>James</i>, 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.</p>

-
-<p>Probably Churchyard was the deviser of the entertainment, as he calls
-the <i>Chippes</i> ‘a book of all my English verses in meter’. He
-says, ‘Some of these Speeches could not be spoken, by means of a
-Scholemaister, who envied that any stranger should set forth these
-Shows’. <i>A worthie Dittie, song before the Queens Majestie at
-Bristow</i>, by D. S[and], not in the Entertainment, is in <i>The
-Paradise of Daynty Devises</i> (1576). Elizabeth was at Bristol 13–21
-Aug. 1574 and lay at John Young’s. Fame, a boy with a speech in English
-verse, met her at the High Cross. At the next gate were Salutation,
-Gratulation, and Obedient Good Will, with their verses. On 14 Aug.
-the Queen attended divine service at the College. On 15 and 16 Aug.
-the Forts of Peace and Feeble Policy were arrayed, and there were
-sham fights by land and sea, with speeches by Dissuasion, Persuasion,
-and John Roberts, who apparently wrote his own. Was he the envious

-<p>This was a tilt, before François of Bourbon, dauphin of Auvergne, Artus
-de Cossé, marshal of France, and other commissioners from France, for
-the treaty of marriage between Elizabeth and the Duke of Anjou. 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.</p>
-
-<p>On the second day the challengers entered in a chariot ‘forewearied
-and half overcome’ with a lady representing Desire, and a consort of
-music. A herald made a speech for them. The defendants entered, and the
-tournay and barriers followed. At the end a boy clad in ash colour and
-bearing an olive-branch made submission of the challengers to the Queen.</p>
-
-<p>Foulkes, lxiii. 49, says that a set of blank cheques for this tilt are
-in <i>Ashm. MS.</i> 845, f. 166.</p>

-
-<h4><i>Harefield Entertainment. 1602</i></h4>
-
-<p>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 <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. Cecil).</p>

-<h2 class="smaller">APPENDIX A<br />
-<span class="subhed">A COURT CALENDAR</span></h2></div>
-
-
-<p>[<i>Bibliographical Note.</i>&mdash;This is primarily a list of plays,
-masks, and quasi-dramatic entertainments at court. 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>

-<span class="subhed">COURT PAYMENTS</span></h2></div>
-
-<p>The body of this appendix contains extracts from the accounts of the
-Treasurer of the Chamber and the Office of Revels, in which expenditure
-on plays or masks at court is recorded. 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&mdash;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 &amp; 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&mdash;although this also is
-not in the least plausible&mdash;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>

-
-<div class="blockquot">
-
-<p>[There is much vain repetition in learned controversy, whether
-literary or ethical. 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, <i>The Catechisme</i> (1564, <i>Works</i>,
-i, f. cccccxxxii); E. Hake, <i>Merry Maidens of London</i>
-(1567), <i>A Touchstone for this Time</i> (1574), sig. G
-4<sup>v</sup>; E. Dering, <i>Catechisme for Householders</i> (1572);
-T. Brasbridge, <i>Poor Man’s Jewel</i> (1578); R. Crowley,
-<i>Unlawful Practises of Prelates</i> (&gt; 1583), sig. B 3<sup>v</sup>; N.
-Bownde, <i>Doctrine of the Sabbath</i> (1595), 211; J. Norden,
-<i>Progress of Piety</i> (1596, ed. <i>Parker Soc.</i>), 177;
-T. Beard, <i>Theatre of God’s Judgments</i> (1597), 193, 197,
-374; W. Vaughan, <i>The Golden Grove</i> (1600), i. 51; F.
-Hering, <i>Rules for the Prevention of the Sickness</i> (1603),
-sig. A 4<sup>v</sup>; R. Knolles, <i>Six Books of a Commonweal</i>
-(1606, from J. Bodin, <i>Six Livres de la République</i>,
-1576–8, 1601), vi. 1; W. Perkins, <i>Cases of Conscience</i>
-(1608, ed. T. Pickering), 118; R. Bolton, <i>Discourse of True
-Happiness</i> (1611), 73; L. Bayly, <i>Practice of Piety</i>
-(<i>c.</i> 1612, ed. Webster, 1842), 182, 190; O. Lake, <i>Probe
-Theologicall upon the Commandments</i> (1612), 267; J. Dod and
-R. Cleaver, <i>Exposition of the Ten Commandments</i> (1612);
-G. Wither, <i>Abuses Stript and Whipt</i> (1613), ii. 3; D.
-Dyke, <i>Michael and the Dragon</i> (1615), 216. Probably such
-references could be multiplied indefinitely; they show how dread
-of the stage became a commonplace of pastoral theology. Thomas
-Spark’s <i>Rehearsal Sermon</i> (1579) is only known from the
-citation of it by Munday (cf. No. xxvii, <i>infra</i>).]</p>

-commends the educational use both of Terence and Plautus in
-<i>De Ratione Studii</i> (1511, <i>Opera</i>, i. 521). In 1532
-he edited Terence, and to the same year belongs <i>Epist.</i>
-1238 (<i>Opera</i>, iii. 2, 1457), which praises the comedies
-without re-arguing at length the ethical controversy; cf. W. H.

-<p>Est enim in his Terentianis comoediis mirifica quaedam sermonis
-puritas, proprietas, elegantia ac, vt in tam antiquo comico, horroris
-minimum; lepos (sine quo rustica est omnis, quantumuis phalerata,
-oratio) et vrbanus et salsus. Aut hoc igitur magistro aut nemine
-discere licebit quo pacto veteres illi Latini, qui nunc vel nobis peius

-tantis ambagibus ex imperitiae labyrintho potuisse emergere, id vnicum
-suae stulticiae solatium proponunt, si in eundem errorem suum iuniores
-omnes pelliciant. Nefas aiunt a Christianis lectitari<span class="pagenum" id="Page_185">[185]</span> Terentianas
-fabulas. Quam ob rem tandem quaeso? Nihil, inquiunt, praeter lasciuiam
-ac turpissimos adolescentum amores habent, quibus lectoris animum
-corrumpi necesse sit. Facile vnde libet corrumpitur qui corruptus
-accesserit. Syncerum nisi vas, quodcunque infundis acescit. Itane
-isti religiosuli ad caetera vel vtilissima talpis caeciores, ad vnam,
-si qua est, lasciuiam capreae sunt? Imo capri ac stolidi nihil sibi
-praeter nequitiam, qua sola imbuti sunt (indocti quippe iidemque
-mali), rapientes, non vident quanta illic sit moralitas, quanta vitae
-instituendae tacita exhortatio, quanta sententiarum venustas. Neque
-intelligunt totum hoc scripti genus ad coarguenda mortalium vitia
-accommodatum, imo adeo inuentum. Quid enim sunt comoediae, nisi seruus
-nugator, adolescens amore insanus, meretrix blanda ac procax, senex
-difficilis, morosus, auarus? Haec nobis in fabulis, perinde atque
-in tabula, proponuntur depicta; vt, quum in moribus hominum quid
-deceat, quid dedeceat, viderimus, alterum amemus alterum castigemus.
-En, in Eunucho Phaedria ille ex summa continentia in summam ineptiam
-amore, tanquam morbo validissimo, immutatus, adeo vt eundem esse non
-cognoscas; quam pulchro exemplo docet amorem rem esse et miserrimam et
-anxiam, instabilem et prorsus insaniae turpissimae plenam. Assentatores
-istos, pestilens hominum genus, Gnatonem suum, artis suae principem,
-spectare iubeto. Iactabundi et sibi placentes, quales diuitum
-plerosque imperitos videmus, Thrasonem suum spectent ac tandem cum sua
-magnificentia quam ridiculi sint intelligant.</p>
-
-<p>Sed de his latius (quum [quae] de litteris scripsimus edemus)
-nostra leges, volente quidem Deo. Ad praesentem locum satis fuerit
-tetigisse comoedias Terentianas; modo recte legantur, non modo non ad
-subuertendos mores, verum etiam ad corrigendos maximopere valere, certe
-ad Latine discendum plane necessarias iudicauerim. An potius istud
-ex Catholicon, Huguitione, Ebrardo, Papia caeterisque ineptioribus
-sperare iubebunt? Mirum vero si his authoribus quis quid Latine dicat,
-cum ipsi nihil non barbare locuti sint. Huiusmodi amplectatur, qui
-balbutire volet; qui loqui cupiet, Terentium dicat, quem Cicero, quem
-Quintilianus, quem Hieronymus, quem Augustinus, quem Ambrosius et
-iuuenes didicere et senes vsi sunt; quem denique nemo, nisi barbarus,

-Plautus, <i>Amphitruo</i>, ii. 2. 17–21; Ovid, <i>Remedia Amoris</i>,

-their warkes, no more than it were to forbeare or prohibite a man to

-<p><i>The first booke teachyng the brynging vp of youth</i>.... P. 185.
-In the earliest stage of Latin, Ascham ‘would haue the Scholer brought
-vp withall, till he had red, &amp; translated ouer y<sup>e</sup> first booke of
-[Cicero’s] Epistles chosen out by <i>Sturmius</i>, with a good peece
-of a Comedie of <i>Terence</i> also.... P. 208. There be som seruing
-men do but ill seruice to their yong masters. Yea, rede <i>Terence</i>
-and <i>Plaut</i>. aduisedlie ouer, and ye shall finde in those two wise
-writers, almost in euery commedie, no vnthriftie yong man, that is not
-brought there vnto, by the sotle inticement of som lewd seruant. And
-euen now in our dayes <i>Getae</i> and <i>Daui</i>, <i>Gnatos</i> and
-manie bold bawdie <i>Phormios</i> to, be preasing in, to pratle on
-euerie stage, to medle in euerie matter, when honest <i>Parmenos</i>
-shall not be hard, but beare small swing with their masters....
-<i>The second booke teachyng the ready way to the Latin tong</i>....
-P. 238. Read dayly vnto him ... some Comedie of <i>Terence</i> or
-<i>Plautus</i>: but in <i>Plautus</i>, skilfull choice must be vsed
-by the master, to traine his Scholler to a iudgement, in cutting
-out perfitelie ouer old and vnproper wordes.... On <i>Imitatio</i>
-... P. 266. The whole doctrine of Comedies and Tragedies, is a
-perfite <i>imitation</i>, or faire liuelie painted picture of the
-life of euerie degree of man.... One of the best examples, for right
-<i>Imitation</i> we lacke, and that is <i>Menander</i>, whom our
-<i>Terence</i> (as the matter required) in like argument, in the same
-Persons, with equall eloquence, foote by foote did follow. Som peeces
-remaine, like broken Iewelles, whereby men may rightlie esteme, and
-iustlie lament, the losse of the whole.... P. 276. In Tragedies,
-(the goodliest Argument of all, and for the vse, either of a learned
-preacher, or a Ciuill Ientleman, more profitable than <i>Homer</i>,
-<i>Pindar</i>, <i>Vergill</i>, and <i>Horace</i>: yea comparable in
-myne opinion, with the doctrine of <i>Aristotle</i>, <i>Plato</i>,
-and <i>Xenophon</i>,) the <i>Grecians</i>, <i>Sophocles</i> and
-<i>Euripides</i> far ouer match our <i>Seneca</i>, in <i>Latin</i>,
-namely in οἱκονομία <i>et Decoro</i>, although <i>Senecaes</i>
-elocution and verse be verie commendable for his tyme.’ ... P. 284.
-Ascham describes some contemporary Latin tragedies.... 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<span class="pagenum" id="Page_192">[192]</span>
-left, saue <i>Plautus</i> and <i>Terence</i>, with a litle rude
-vnperfit pamflet of the elder <i>Cato</i>. And as for <i>Plautus</i>,
-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 <i>Plautus</i>, than trewlie <i>Plautus</i>, 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 <i>Plautus</i>
-did liue, I must nedes honor the talke of that tyme, which we see
-<i>Plautus</i> doth vse. <i>Terence</i> is also a storehouse of the
-same tong, for an other tyme, following soone after, &amp; although he be
-not so full &amp; plentiful as <i>Plautus</i> is, for multitude of matters,
-&amp; 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 <i>Plautus</i> 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.’</p>

-sumptuous Theatre houses, a continuall monument of Londons prodigalitie
-and folly. But I vnderstande they are nowe forbidden bycause of the

-Soc.</i>).]</p>
-</div>
-
-<p>[Summary and Extracts.] The treatise is ‘made dialogue-wise’ between
-Youth and Age. <i>Epistles</i> to Sir John Yong and to The Christian
-and Faithful Reader, dated respectively from Bristol and Henbury. <i>A
-Treatise against Idlenes, Idle Pastimes, and Playes.</i> 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, &amp;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,<span class="pagenum" id="Page_199">[199]</span> 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 <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. And lastly, that their
-comedies be not mixte with vaine and wanton toyes of loue. These being
-obserued, I iudge it tollerable for schollers.’ <i>An Inuectiue against

-(as if it wer a thing of necessity for the Beares of Paris garden to be

-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<sup>e</sup> 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<sup>e</sup> time of diuine

-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

-gaine that is reaped of eighte ordinarie places in the Citie whiche I

-
-<p>... 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<span class="pagenum" id="Page_202">[202]</span> 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 <i>Indecorum</i>, 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

-<p>[Summary and Extracts.] <i>Epistle to Sidney. 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. 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.’ <i>Epistle to
-the Gentlewomen Citizens of London</i>.... 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.... In deede I muste confesse there comes to playes
-of all sortes, old and young; it is hard to say that all offend, yet I
-promise you, I wil sweare for none.’</p>

-were the Scoole of Abuse.’ Defends against Gosson poetry, music, and
-thirdly players, for whose art he claims both ‘antiquity’ and ‘use and
-comoditye’ as an instrument of moral criticism. P. 24. Of comedies
-he says, ‘Tulley defines them thus, <i>Comedia</i> (saith he) is
-<i>imitatio vitae, speculum consuetudinis, et imago veritatis</i>’.
-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

-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

-ensample to others hath laide his hands, haue euen on their death beds

-their soules to the state of euerlasting damnation.... When I gaue

-found to be an appointed place of Bauderie; mine owne eares haue heard

-is manifestlie to be prooued, haue consented to rob their maisters, to
-supplie the want of their harlots; there is the practising with married

-concluded with my selfe, neuer to imploie my pen to so vile a purpose,

-for pressing forward in the cause. The abuse of the Sabbath is the

-the fond motions of the mind, withdrawen from the seruice of the Lord,
-&amp; 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, &amp; 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, &amp;
-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 &amp; 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, &amp; 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, &amp; 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, &amp; 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, &amp; 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>[Summary and Extracts.] <i>Epistle to Sir Frances Walsingham.</i> ‘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, &amp; 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<span class="pagenum" id="Page_214">[214]</span> 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.’ <i>Epistle to the
-Universities and Inns of Court.</i> 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 <i>Schole of Abuse</i>,
-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, &amp; 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, &amp; being worne out of fauour among his own friends, I might
-triumph in the cause &amp; 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, &amp; 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 &amp; 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 &amp; 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;

-As Fathers and Councils ‘and y<sup>e</sup> skilfulst Deuines at this day in

-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,
-&amp; 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, &amp; 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 &amp; 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 &amp; 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

-so great prophanation amongst vs? that Theaters should be full and
-churches be emptie? that the streetes shoulde be replenished, and the

-The exhortation is mainly a general call to repentance and fear of

-‘There is no Dicing house, Bowling alley, Cock pit, or Theater, that
-can be found empty. Those flagges of defiance against God, &amp; trumpets

-(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 <i>Parris-garden</i>, 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, &amp; 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. Marie Wolmers</i> in <i>Lombard streat</i>, <i>Mathew Mason</i>,
-seruant with Master <i>Garland</i>, dwelling in <i>Southwarke</i>,
-<i>Thomas Peace</i>, seruant with <i>Robert Tasker</i>, dwelling in
-<i>Clerken well</i>. The maydens names, <i>Alice White</i>, seruant to
-a Pursemaker without <i>Cripplegate</i>, and <i>Marie Harrison</i>,
-daughter to <i>Iohn Harrison</i>, being a waterbearer, dwelling in
-<i>Lombard streat</i>.’ C i<sup>v</sup>. 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
-&amp; buried, and namely one <i>Web</i> a Pewterer his wife that dwelt
-in <i>Limestreete</i> 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<span class="pagenum" id="Page_221">[221]</span> euery
-way into the cittie from that time tyll towardes nine of the clocke
-and past: and specially ouer <i>London bridge</i>, many were carried
-in Chayres, &amp; 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 <i>fire fire</i>, 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, &amp; 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

-these Heathenishe <i>Enterludes</i> and <i>Playes</i> 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 <i>Theater</i>, the <i>Curtin</i> and such like, that
-one day those places will likewise be cast downe by God himselfe, &amp;
-being drawen with them a huge heape of such contempners and prophane

-is not confined to the stage, but is a comprehensive analysis of
-contemporary frailty. <i>Epistle to Phillip Earl of Arundel. Preface
-to the Reader.</i> P. x. ‘Wheras in the processe of this my booke,
-I haue intreated of certen exercyses vsually practised amongest vs,
-as namely of Playes and Enterludes.... 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, &amp; 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 &amp; scaffolds, or to be mixt and interlaced
-with bawdry, wanton shewes, &amp; 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. 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 <i>histriones</i>. 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, &amp; 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, &amp; sathans synagogue [<i>in margin</i>, ‘Theaters
-and curtaines Venus pallaces’], to worship deuils, &amp; 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 &amp; threefould,
-when the church of God shalbe bare &amp; emptie.... Do they not maintaine
-bawdrie, infinit folery, &amp; renue the remembrance of hethen ydolatrie?
-Do they not induce whordom &amp; vnclennes? nay, are they not rather plaine
-deuourers of maydenly virginitie and chastitie? For proofe wherof,
-but marke the flocking and running to Theaters &amp; 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 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, &amp; flowt,
-to flatter &amp; smooth: If you will learn to play the whore-maister,
-the glutton, Drunkard, or incestuous person: if you will learn to
-become proude, hawtie, &amp; 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

-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

-
-<div class="blockquot">
-
-<p>[From <i>The Defence of Poesie</i> (1595, William Ponsonby; S.
-R. 29 Nov. 1594), reprinted as <i>An Apologie for Poetrie</i>
-(1595, Henry Olney), and with 1598 and later editions of
-<i>Arcadia</i>. 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 <i>Arcadia</i>
-(1580–3). But any date is possible between 1579, when Gosson’s
-<i>School of Abuse</i>, which probably stimulated it, and
-Spenser’s <i>Faerie Queene</i>, 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>
-</div>
-
-<p>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’, &amp;c. P.
-63. Criticizes ‘Our Tragedies and Comedies (not without cause cried
-out against)’. Even in <i>Gorboduc</i>, 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.’</p>

-<h3>xl. 1588–90. <span class="smcap">Martin Marprelate Controversy.</span></h3>
-
-<div class="blockquot">
-
-<p>[The texts of the Marprelate pamphlets have been edited by
-W. Pierce, <i>The Marprelate Tracts</i> (1911); some were
-reprinted earlier by E. Arber and in J. Petheram, <i>Puritan
-Discipline Tracts</i> (1842–60). The best accounts of this
-ribald controversy on Church government are E. Arber, <i>An
-Introductory Sketch to the Martin Marprelate Controversy</i>
-(1879); W. Pierce, <i>Historical Introduction to the
-Marprelate Tracts</i> (1908); J. D. Wilson, <i>The Marprelate
-Controversy</i> (1909, C. H. iii. 374), and <i>Martin Marprelate
-and Shakespeare’s Fluellen</i> (1912); R. B. McKerrow, <i>Works
-of Nashe</i>, v (1910), 34, 184; G. Bonnard, <i>La Controverse
-de Martin Marprelate</i> (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 <i>Pappe with
-an Hatchet</i> 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&mdash;(<i>a</i>) Martin
-anatomized, (<i>b</i>) the May Game of Martinism, (<i>c</i>)
-Martin carried to hell, as a vice, (<i>d</i>) Martin as
-cock, ape, and wolf, (<i>e</i>) Martin ravishing Divinity;
-but (<i>b</i>) seems to be referred to as a forthcoming
-pamphlet rather than as a play, and of the others (<i>d</i>)
-and (<i>e</i>) almost certainly, and possibly all four, were
-episodes in the same piece. F. Bacon in his <i>Advertisement
-Touching the Controversies</i> (<i>Works</i>, 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’.]</p>

-</div>
-
-<p>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 [<i>sic</i>] Ferrys a man of no lesse

-
-<p>[From an epistle <i>To the Gentlemen Students of Both
-Universities</i>, prefixed to Robert Greene’s <i>Menaphon</i>
-(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 <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. The issue is between the University poets on the one
-hand and the players and illiterate poets on the other.]</p>

-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 <i>Roscius</i>, art thou proud with
-<i>Esops</i> Crow, being pranct with the glorie of others feathers? of
-thy selfe thou canst say nothing, and if the Cobler hath taught thee to

-What is your profession, sayd <i>Roberto</i>? Truely sir, said he, I
-am a player. A Player, quoth <i>Roberto</i>, 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; <i>Tempora
-mutantur</i>: 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. 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. 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

-<p>Was not this prettie for a plaine rime extempore? if ye will, ye shall
-haue more. Nay it is enough, said <i>Roberto</i>, but how meane you to
-vse mee? Why sir, in making playes, said the other, for which you shall
-be well paied, if you will take the paines.... 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. G. wisheth

-Base minded men al three of you, if by my miserie ye be not warned:
-for vnto none of you (like me) sought those burres to cleaue: those
-Puppits (I meane) that speake from our mouths, those Anticks garnisht
-in our colours. 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 <i>Tygers heart wrapt
-in a Players hide</i>, supposes he is as well able to bumbast out a
-blank verse as the best of you: and being an absolute <i>Iohannes

-profitable courses: &amp; let these Apes imitate your past excellence,
-and neuer more acquaint them with your admired inuentions. I know the
-best husband of you all will neuer proue an Vsurer, and the kindest of
-them all wil neuer prooue a kinde nurse: yet, whilst you may, seeke
-you better Maisters; for it is pittie men of such rare wits, should be
-subiect to the pleasures of such rude groomes. In this I might insert
-two more, that both haue writ against these buckram Gentlemen: but let
-their owne works serue to witnesse against their owne wickednesse,
-if they perseuer to maintaine any more such peasants. For other new
-commers, I leaue them to the mercie of these painted monsters, who (I

-<p>P. 37. <i>To the Gentlemen Readers.</i> ‘About three moneths since
-died M. <i>Robert Greene</i>, leauing many papers in sundry Booke
-sellers hands, among other his Groatsworth of wit, in which a letter
-written to diuers playmakers, is offensiuely by one or two of them
-taken; and because on the dead they cannot be auenged, they wilfully
-forge in their conceites a liuing Author: and after tossing it two
-and fro, no remedy, but it must light on me. 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.
-For the first, whose learning I reuerence, and at the perusing of
-<i>Greenes</i> Booke, stroke out what then in conscience I thought he
-in some displeasure writ: or had it beene true, yet to publish it,
-was intollerable: him I would wish to vse me no worse than I deserue.
-I had onely in the copy this share: it was il written, as sometime<span class="pagenum" id="Page_243">[243]</span>
-<i>Greenes</i> hand was none of the best; licensd it must be, ere it
-could bee printed, which could neuer be if it might not be read. To be
-breife, I writ it ouer; and as neare as I could, followed the copy;
-onely in that letter I put something out, but in the whole booke not
-a worde in; for I protest it was all <i>Greenes</i>, not mine nor
-Maister <i>Nashes</i>, as some vniustly haue affirmed.’ <i>Henrie
-Chettle</i>.... <i>The Dreame</i>. P. 43. ‘There entered at once fiue
-personages.... The next, by his sute of russet, his buttond cap, his
-taber, his standing on the toe, and other tricks, I knew to be either
-the body or resemblaunce of Tarlton, who liuing, for his pleasant
-conceits was of all men liked, and dying, for mirth left not his
-like.... 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>. He was of singuler pleasaunce
-the verye supporter, and, to no man’s disgrace bee this intended,
-the only Comedian of a vulgar writer in this country.’ P. 63. <i>To
-all maligners of honest mirth</i>, Tarleton <i>wisheth continuall
-melancholy</i>. ‘Now Maisters, what say you to a merrie knaue, that for
-this two years day hath not beene talkt of. Wil you giue him leaue, if
-he can, to make ye laugh? What, all a mort? No merry countenance? Nay
-then I see hypocrisie hath the vpper hand, and her spirit raignes in
-this profitable generation. Sith it is thus, Ile be a time-pleaser.
-Fie vppon following plaies, the expence is wondrous; vpon players
-speeches, their wordes are full of wyles; vppon their gestures, that
-are altogether wanton. Is it not lamentable, that a man should spende
-his two pence on them in an after-noone, heare couetousnes amongst
-them daily quipt at, being one of the commonest occupations in the
-countrey; and in liuely gesture see trecherie set out, with which euery
-man now adaies vseth to intrap his brother. Byr lady, this would be
-lookt into: if these be the fruites of playing, tis time the practisers
-were expeld. Expeld (quoth you); that hath been pretily performd, to
-the no smal profit of the Bouling-allyes in Bedlam and other places,
-that were wont in the after-noones to be left empty, by the recourse
-of good fellows vnto that vnprofitable recreation of Stage-playing.
-And it were not much amisse, would they ioine with the Dicing houses
-to make sute againe for their longer restraint, though the sicknesse
-cease. Is not this well saide (my maisters) of an olde buttond cappe,
-that hath most part of his life liu’d vppon that against which he
-inueighs: Yes, and worthily.’ Suppression of plays to the advantage of
-bawdy-houses, especially those not near Shoreditch. Discourse with a
-pander. P. 65. ‘And you, sir, find fault with plaies. Out vpon them,
-they spoile our trade, as you your selfe haue proued. Beside, they
-open our crosse-biting, our conny-catching, our traines, our traps,
-our gins, our snares, our subtilties: for no sooner haue we a tricke
-of deceipt, but they make it common, singing Iigs, and making ieasts
-of vs, that euerie boy can point out our houses as they passe by.<span class="pagenum" id="Page_244">[244]</span>
-Whither now <i>Tarlton</i>? this is extempore, out of time, tune, and
-temper.... 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;
-&amp; 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. So wishing
-the chearefull, pleasaunce endlesse; and the wilfull sullen, sorrow
-till they surfet; with a turne on the toe I take my leaue. <i>Richard
-Tarleton.</i>’</p>

-
-<p>Hence is it, that I now render my selfe gratefull, and am studious to
-iustifie the bounty of your act: To which, though your mere authority
-were satisfying, yet it being an age wherein <i>Poëtry</i> and the
-Professors of it heare so ill on all sides, there will a reason bee
-look’d for in the subject. It is certaine, nor can it with any forehead
-be oppos’d, that the too-much licence of <i>Poëtasters</i> in this
-time hath much deform’d their <i>Mistresse</i>; that euery day their
-manifold and manifest ignorance doth stick vnnaturall reproches vpon
-her. But for their petulancy, it were an act of the greatest iniustice,
-either to let the learned suffer, or so diuine a <i>skill</i> (which
-indeed should not be attempted with vncleane hands) to fall vnder the
-least contempt. For if men will impartially, and not à-squint, looke
-toward the offices and function of a <i>Poët</i>, they will easily
-conclude to themselues the impossibility of any mans being the good
-<i>Poët</i>, without first being a good <i>Man</i>. He that is sayd to
-be able to informe <i>yong-men</i> to all good disciplines, inflame
-<i>growne-men</i> to all great vertues, keepe <i>old men</i> 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 <i>Nature</i>, 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 <i>Pride</i><span class="pagenum" id="Page_249">[249]</span>
-and <i>Ignorance</i> to exercise their railing <i>rhetorique</i>
-vpon. But it will here be hastily answer’d, that the <i>Writers</i>
-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 <i>Poët</i>, but the abused name, which euery Scribe
-vsurpes; that now, especially in <i>Dramatick</i>, or (as they terme
-it) Stage-<i>Poëtry</i>, 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 <i>Features</i> (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,

-<p>[From <i>The Sermon preached at the Crosse, Feb. xiiij. 1607</i>
-(1608, 2nd ed. 1609). Crashaw was preacher at the Inner Temple
-and father of Richard Crashaw, the poet. The hypocrites,
-Nicholas Saint-Tantlings and Simon Saint-Mary-Oueries, are
-characters in <i>The Puritan</i> (1607). John Selden says in his
-<i>Table Talk</i> (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

-<p>P. 169. ‘Now there are also besides these two great Babels, certaine
-other little pettie Babylons, namely, incurable sinnes amongst vs,
-...’ P. 170. ‘2. The vngodly Playes and Enterludes so rife in this
-nation: what are they but a bastard of Babylon, a daughter of error
-and confusion, a hellish deuice (the diuels owne recreation to mock
-at holy things) by him deliuered to the Heathen, from them to the
-Papists, and from them to vs? Of this euill and plague, the Church
-of God in all ages can say, truly and with a good conscience, <i>wee
-would haue healed her</i>. [Quotes Tertullian and others.] ... All
-this they are daily made to know, but all in vaine, they be children
-of Babylon that will not bee healed: nay, they grow worse and worse,
-for now they bring religion and holy things vpon the stage: no maruel
-though the worthiest and mightiest men escape not, when God himselfe is
-so abused. Two hypocrites must be brought foorth; and how shall they
-be described but by these names, <i>Nicolas S. Antlings</i>, <i>Simon
-S. Maryoueries</i>. Thus hypocrisie a child of hell must beare the
-names of two Churches of God, and two wherein Gods name is called on
-publikely euery day in the yeere, and in one of them his blessed word
-preached euerie day (an example scarce matchable in the world): yet
-these two, wherin Gods name is thus glorified, and our Church and State
-honoured, shall bee by these miscreants thus dishonoured, and that
-not on the stage only, but euen in print.’ Complains of profaneness,
-atheism, blasphemy, and profaning of Sabbath ‘which generally in the
-countrie is their play day’. Calls on magistrate, lest God take the

-<h3>lvii. 1608 (?). <span class="smcap">Thomas Heywood.</span></h3>
-
-<div class="blockquot">
-
-<p>[From <i>An Apology for Actors. Containing three briefe
-Treatises. 1. Their Antiquity. 2. Their ancient Dignity. 3.
-The True Use of their Quality</i> (1612), reprinted by William
-Cartwright as <i>The Actor’s Vindication</i> (<span class="allsmcap">N.D.</span>,
-but according to Douce 1658) and in 1841 (<i>Sh. Soc.</i>). 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. Heywood was answered by I.
-G. in <i>A Refutation of the Apology for Actors</i> (1615),
-which contributes nothing new, and uses material from Gosson’s
-<i>Plays Confuted</i> (No. xxx), with references to the
-long-destroyed Theatre unchanged.]</p>

-but can neither shew action, passion, motion, or any other gesture
-to moove the spirits of the beholder to admiration: but to see a
-souldier shap’d like a souldier, walke, speake, act like a souldier;
-to see a Hector all besmered in blood, trampling upon the bulkes of
-kinges; a Troilus returning from the field, in the sight of his father
-Priam, as if man and horse, even from the steed’s rough fetlockes to
-the plume on the champion’s helmet, had bene together plunged into a
-purple ocean; to see a Pompey ride in triumph, then a Caesar conquer
-that Pompey; labouring Hannibal alive, hewing his passage through the
-Alpes. To see as I have seene, Hercules, in his owne shape, hunting the

-murdering Geryon, slaughtering Diomed, wounding the Stymphalides,
-killing the Centaurs, pashing the lion, squeezing the dragon, dragging
-Cerberus in chaynes, and lastly, on his high pyramides waiting <i>Nil

-bold Englishman presented, and doth not hugge his fame, and hunnye
-at his valor, pursuing him in his enterprise with his best wishes,
-and as beeing wrapt in contemplation, offers to him in his hart all

-so bewitching a thing is lively and well-spirited action, that it

-What English prince, should hee behold the true portrature of that

-correct, controule, or carpe at that, against which they cannot finde
-any text in the sacred scriptures?’ P. 25. ‘Since God hath provided

-you aske me why were not the theaters as gorgeously built in all other
-cities of Italy as Rome, and why are not playhouses maintained as
-well in other cities of England as London? My answere is ... Rome was
-a metropolis, a place whither all the nations knowne under the sunne

-all nations,<span class="pagenum" id="Page_252">[252]</span> therefore to affoord them all choyce of pastimes, sports,

-are but to represent such a lady, at such a tyme appoynted? Do not
-the Universities, the fountaines and well springs of all good arts,

-(I assure my selfe) are not ignorant of their true use. In the time of
-my residence at Cambridge, I have seen tragedyes, comedyes, historyes,

-The critics of acting ‘a sorte of finde-faults’. <i>Book ii.</i>
-Antiquities of the theatre, and distribution of theatres in ancient and
-modern states. P. 40. ‘The King of Denmarke, father to him that now
-reigneth, entertained into his service a company of English comedians,
-commended unto him by the honourable the Earle of Leicester: the Duke
-of Brunswicke and the Landgrave of Hessen retaine in their courts
-certaine of ours of the same quality.... And amongst us one of our best
-English Chroniclers [in margin, ‘Stowe’] records, that when Edward
-the Fourth would shew himselfe in publicke state to the view of the
-people, hee repaired to his palace at S. Johnes, where he accustomed
-to see the citty actors: and since then that house, by the prince’s
-free gift, hath belonged to the Office of the Revels, where our court
-playes have beene in late daies yearely rehersed, perfected, and
-corrected before they come to the publike view of the prince and the
-nobility.’ Famous classical actors. P. 43. ‘According to the occasion
-offered to do some right to our English actors, as Knell, Bentley,
-Mils, Wilson, Crosse, Lanam, and others, these, since I never saw
-them, as being before my time, I cannot (as an eye-witnesse of their
-desert) give them that applause, which no doubt they worthily merit;
-yet by the report of many juditiall auditors their performances of many
-parts have been so absolute, that it were a kinde of sinne to drowne
-their worths in Lethe, and not commit their (almost forgotten) names
-to eternity. Here I must needs remember Tarleton, in his time gratious
-with the queene, his soveraigne, and in the people’s generall applause,
-whom succeeded Wil. Kemp, as wel in the favour of her majesty, as
-in the opinion and good thoughts of the generall audience. Gabriel,
-Singer, Pope, Phillips, Sly, all the right I can do them is but this,
-that, though they be dead, their deserts yet live in the remembrance
-of many. Among so many dead, let me not forget one yet alive, in his
-time the most worthy, famous Maister Edward Allen.... I also could
-wish, that such as are condemned for their licentiousnesse, might by
-a generall consent bee quite excluded our society; for, as we are
-men that stand in the broad eye of the world, so should our manners,
-gestures, and behaviours, savour of such government and modesty, to
-deserve the good thoughts and reports of all men, and to abide<span class="pagenum" id="Page_253">[253]</span> the
-sharpest censures even of those that are the greatest opposites to the
-quality. Many amongst us I know to be of substance, of government, of
-sober lives, and temperate carriages, house-keepers, and contributory
-to all duties enjoyned them, equally with them that are rank’t with
-the most bountifull; and if amongst so many of sort, there be any few
-degenerate from the rest in that good demeanor which is both requisite
-and expected at their hands, let me entreat you not to censure hardly
-of all for the misdeeds of some.’ On royal actors, quoting (p. 45) ‘M.
-Kid, in his Spanish Tragedy’. <i>Book iii.</i> The quality not to be
-condemned because of its abuses. P. 52. ‘Playing is an ornament to the
-citty.’ It refines the language, instructs the ignorant, and teaches
-moral lessons. P. 54. ‘Briefly, there is neither tragedy, history,
-comedy, morall, or pastorall, from which an infinite use cannot be
-gathered. I speake not in the defence of any lascivious shewes,
-scurrelous jests, or scandalous invectives. If there be any such I
-banish them quite from my patronage.’ Plays have discovered murders. P.
-57. ‘We will prove it by a domestike and home-borne truth, which within
-these few years happened. At Lin, in Norfolke, the then Earl of Sussex
-players acting the old History of Feyer Francis’ drove a townswoman to
-confess the murder of her husband in circumstances parallel to those
-of the play. P. 58. Relates rout of Spanish raiders ‘at a place called
-Perin in Cornwall’, though their alarm at the drum and trumpets of ‘a
-company of the same quality some 12 yeares ago, or not so much ...
-playing late in the night’. Another story of a woman who had driven a
-nail into her husband’s brain, urged to remorse by a similar incident
-in ‘the last part of the Four Sons of Aymon’ played by ‘a company of
-our English comedians (well knowne)’ at Amsterdam. Summarizes the
-favour of many sovereigns to players. P. 60. ‘The cardinal at Bruxels
-hath at this time in pay a company of our English comedians.... But
-in no country they are of that eminence that our’s are: so our most
-royall and ever renouned soveraigne hath licenced us in London: so
-did his predecessor, the thrice vertuous virgin, Queen Elizabeth;
-and before her, her sister, Queene Mary, Edward the sixth, and their
-father, Henry the eighth.’ P. 61. ‘Moreover, to this day in divers
-places of England there be townes that held the priviledge of their
-faires, and other charters by yearely stage-playes, as at Manningtree
-in Suffolke, Kendall in the north, and others.... Now, to speake of
-some abuse lately crept into the quality, as an inveighing against the
-state, the court, the law, the citty, and their governements, with
-the particularizing of private men’s humors (yet alive) noblemen, and
-others: I know it distastes many; neither do I any way approve it,
-nor dare I by any meanes excuse it. The liberty which some arrogate
-to themselves, committing their bitternesse, and liberall invectives
-against all estates, to the mouthes of children, supposing their
-juniority to be a priviledge for any rayling, be it never so violent,
-I could advise all such to curbe and limit this presumed liberty
-within the bands of discretion and government. But wise and juditiall
-censurers, before whom such complaints shall at<span class="pagenum" id="Page_254">[254]</span> any time hereafter
-come, wil not (I hope) impute these abuses to any transgression in us,
-who have ever been carefull and provident to shun the like.’ P. 162.

-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. 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
-<i>The Wife</i>, 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 <i>Lincoln’s
-Inn Admission Books</i>; there is an Isaac Cox, admitted 10
-Jan. 1611 (i. 154), and a John Cookes on 6 June 1614 (i. 166).

-<h4><i>A common Player</i></h4>
-
-<p><i>Is a slow Payer, seldom a Purchaser, never a Puritan.</i> The
-Statute hath done wisely to acknowledg him a Rogue errant<a id="FNanchor_824" href="#Footnote_824" class="fnanchor">[824]</a>, for
-his chiefe essence is, <i>A daily Counterfeit</i><a id="FNanchor_825" href="#Footnote_825" class="fnanchor">[825]</a>: 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<span class="pagenum" id="Page_256">[256]</span> 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,<a id="FNanchor_826" href="#Footnote_826" class="fnanchor">[826]</a> till he hath either spoken, or
-heard the <i>Epilogue</i><a id="FNanchor_827" href="#Footnote_827" class="fnanchor">[827]</a>: neither dares he entitle good things
-<i>Good</i>, 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.<a id="FNanchor_828" href="#Footnote_828" class="fnanchor">[828]</a> 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.<a id="FNanchor_829" href="#Footnote_829" class="fnanchor">[829]</a> The cautions of his judging humor (if hee
-dares undertake it) be a certaine number of sawsie rude<a id="FNanchor_830" href="#Footnote_830" class="fnanchor">[830]</a> jests
-against the common lawyer; hansome conceits against the fine Courtiers;
-delicate quirkes against the rich Cuckold a cittizen; shadowed
-glaunce<a id="FNanchor_831" href="#Footnote_831" class="fnanchor">[831]</a> for good innocent Ladies and Gentlewomen; with a nipping
-scoffe for some honest Justice, who hath<a id="FNanchor_832" href="#Footnote_832" class="fnanchor">[832]</a> imprisoned him: or some
-thriftie Trades-man, who hath allowed him no credit: alwayes remembred,
-his object is, <i>A new play</i>, or <i>A play newly revived</i>. 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 <i>mithridate</i> against
-the pestilence; for players cannot tarry where the plague raignes; and
-therfore they be seldome infected.<a id="FNanchor_833" href="#Footnote_833" class="fnanchor">[833]</a> 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 <i>last</i> 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.<a id="FNanchor_834" href="#Footnote_834" class="fnanchor">[834]</a> If hee marries, hee mistakes the Woman for the Boy in
-Womans attire, by not<span class="pagenum" id="Page_257">[257]</span> 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 <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. 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<a id="FNanchor_836" href="#Footnote_836" class="fnanchor">[836]</a> to perceive the commonwealth<a id="FNanchor_837" href="#Footnote_837" class="fnanchor">[837]</a> 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: <i>For they bee chiefe ornaments of his Majesties
-Revells</i>.<a id="FNanchor_838" href="#Footnote_838" class="fnanchor">[838]</a> 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.<a id="FNanchor_839" href="#Footnote_839" class="fnanchor">[839]</a> Yet in
-the generall number of them, many may deserve a wise mans commendation:
-and therefore did I prefix an Epithite of <i>common</i>, 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.<a id="FNanchor_840" href="#Footnote_840" class="fnanchor">[840]</a></p>

-<h3>lxi. 1615. <span class="smcap">John Webster</span> (?).</h3>
-
-<div class="blockquot">
-
-<p>[This Character <i>Of an Excellent Actor</i> is one of the
-additions made in the 6th edition (1615) to the Characters
-printed with Sir Thomas Overbury’s <i>The Wife</i>, of which
-the 1st edition appeared after Overbury’s death on 15 Sept.
-1613. 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 <i>A Common Player</i> (No. lx). The allusion to
-painting suggests that the model was Richard Burbadge. The
-passage <i>Therefore the imitating Characterist ... flea
-them</i> was omitted in the 7th edition (1616) and in later
-editions, including the 9th (1616), from which the reprints in
-E. F. Rimbault, <i>Works of Overbury</i>, 147, and H. Morley,
-<i>Character Writings</i>, 86, are taken. A. F. Bourgeois, in 11
-<i>N. Q.</i> 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, <i>Microcosmography</i> (1628, ed. A. S. West,
-81), and R. M., <i>Micrologia</i> (1629, Morley, 285).]</p>

-
-
-<h4><i>An Excellent Actor.</i></h4>
-
-<p>Whatsoeuer is commendable in the graue Orator, is most exquisitly
-perfect in him; for by a full and significant action of body, he
-charmes<span class="pagenum" id="Page_258">[258]</span> 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 <i>Actor</i> is the <i>Center</i>. 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. 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.</p>

-<span class="subhed">DOCUMENTS OF CONTROL</span></h2></div>
-
-<div class="blockquot">
-
-<p>[<i>Bibliographical Note.</i>&mdash;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
-<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. Stopes,
-<i>Extracts from London Play Regulations</i> (1908, Harrison,
-<i>Description of England</i>, Part iv), and <i>Collections of
-the Malone Society</i>, vol. i (<i>Dramatic Records</i> from the
-<i>Remembrancia</i>, <i>Lansdowne Manuscripts</i>, <i>Patent
-Rolls</i>, and <i>Privy Council Register 1603–42</i>, 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.]</p>

-<p>My dutie humblie done to your Lp. Where it happened on Sundaie last

-of playes, which are vsed at the Theatre, and other such places, and
-tumbleres and such like are a very superfluous sort of men, and of
-suche facultie as the lawes haue disalowed, and their exersise of those

-vncleanenesse and pestering of the Citty, the said playes are matter
-of great daunger. Therefore I humble beseche your Lp, for those and

-vnfitt, hauing regard vnto the season of the yere and the Clerenes of
-the Citie from infection, to allowe of certaine companies of plaiers to
-exercise their playeng in London, partly to the ende they might thereby
-attaine to the more dexteritie and perfection in that profession,
-the better to content her maiestie, whereupon we<span class="pagenum" id="Page_288">[288]</span> permitted the said
-players to vse their playeng vntill we shold se cause to the contrary,
-and foreseing that the same might be done without impeachment of the
-seruice of God whereof we haue a speciall care, we restrained them from
-playeng on the sabothe daye: and forasmucheas we suppose that their
-honest exercise of recreation in playeng, to be vsed on the ordinarie
-S. Hollydaies after euening prayer, as long as the season of the yere
-may permitt and may be without daunger of the infection, will not be
-offensiue, so that if care be had that their comodies and enterludes
-be looked into, and that those which do containe mater that may bread
-corruption of maners and conuersacion among the people (which we
-desire in any case to haue auoided) be forbidden, whereunto we wishe
-yow did appointe some fitt persones whoe maie consider and allowe of
-suche playes onely as be fitt to yeld honest recreacion and no example
-of euell: We haue therefore thought good to pray your Lp. to reuoke
-your late inhibition against their playeng on the said hollydaies
-after euening prayer, onely forbearing the Sabothe daie whollie
-according to our former order. And when yow shall finde that the
-continuance of the same their excercise by the increase of the sicknes
-and infection shalbe dangerous, we praye your Lp. therin to geue vs

-For thoughe they beginne not their playes till after euening prayer,

-in the Cittie of London for Setting Rogues and Idle Persons
-to Worke, and for Releefe of the Poore</i>, printed by Hugh
-Singleton (<span class="allsmcap">N.D.</span>). The B.M. copy (796 E. 37) is
-catalogued, with the date 1587, as an Act of the Court of
-Aldermen. C. Welch, <i>The City Printers</i> (<i>Bibl. Soc.
-Trans.</i> xiv. 191), also gives the date as 1587, and says that
-Singleton became City Printer on 4 Aug. 1584. Whatever the date
-of the print, it seems clear from No. lxxv (2) (<i>a</i>) that
-the order itself, or at any rate Art. 62 of it, is later than
-the crying of the preachers against plays and earlier than the
-Paris Garden accident of 13 Jan. 1583. The autumn of 1582 seems
-to me the most likely date. Possibly Art. 62 was alone new.
-Aydelotte, 70, says that the Orders which were to enforce 18
-Eliz. c. 3 were originally printed in 1579 or 1580, and refers
-to <i>Journal</i>, xx, pt. ii, f. 325. Art. 61, and also Art.

-without exception, and specially against such as while they ought to

-haunting of plaies, and other idle and wycked pastimes and exercises.</p>
-
-<p>Art. 62. For as much as the playing of Enterludes, &amp; the resort to
-the same are very daungerous for the infection of the plague, whereby
-infinite burdens and losses to the Citty may increase, and are very
-hurtfull in corruption of youth with incontinence &amp; lewdnes, and also
-great wasting both of the time and thrift of many poore people and
-great prouoking of the wrath of God the ground of all plagues, great
-withdrawing of the people from publique prayer &amp; from the seruice of
-God: and daily cryed out against by the graue and earnest admonitions
-of the preachers of the word of God: Therefore be it ordered that all

-xxxii), printed <i>M. S. C.</i> i. 168, from <i>Lansd. MS.</i>
-20, f. 23; also in part by Strype in his edition of Stowe’s
-<i>Survey</i> (1720), i. 292; Collier, i. 208; Hazlitt, <i>E.
-D. S.</i> 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 <i>Catalogue of the Lansdowne Manuscripts</i> (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, <i>Early London Theatres</i> in
-the <i>Academy</i> for 24 Aug. 1895, but the misconception<span class="pagenum" id="Page_299">[299]</span>
-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 <i>Remembrancia</i> 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).

-send yow with note <img src="images/finger.jpg" alt="pointing finger"
-style="height:1em; padding:0 0em 0 0em;" />
- directing to the place.</p>
-
-<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_300">[300]</span></p>
-
-<p>The first of these actes of Comon counsell was made in the maraltie
-of Hawes xvij<sup>o</sup> Regine, and sheweth a maner how plaies were to be
-tollerated and vsed, althoughe it were rather wished that they were
-wholly discontinued for the causes appearing in the preamble; which is
-for that reason somewhat the longer.</p>
-
-<p>Where the players reporte the order to be that they shold not play till
-after seruice time, the boke [‘fo. 8<sup>o</sup>’ added in margin] is otherwise;
-for it is that they shal not onely not play in seruice time, but also
-shal not receue any in seruice time to se the same; for thoughe they
-did forbeare beginning to play till seruice were done, yet all the time
-of seruice they did take in people; which was the great mischef in
-withdrawing the people from seruice.</p>
-
-<p>Afterward when these orders were not obserued, and the lewd maters of
-playes encreasced, and in the haunt vnto them were found many dangers,
-bothe for religion, state, honestie of manners, vnthriftinesse of the
-poore, and danger of infection &amp;c., and the preachers dayly cryeng
-against the L. maiour and his bretheren, in an Act of Common Counsel
-for releafe of the poore which I send yowe printed, in the Article
-62 the last leafe, is enacted as there appeareth, by which there are
-no enterludes allowed in London in open spectacle, but in priuate
-howses onely at marriages or such like, which may suffise, and sute
-is apointed to be made that they may be likewise banished in places
-adioyning.</p>
-
-<p>Since that time and namely upon the ruine at Parise garden, sute was
-made to my LLs. to banishe playes wholly in the places nere London,
-according to the said lawe. Letters were obtained from my LLs. to
-banishe them on the sabbat Daies.</p>
-
-
-<h4>(<i>b</i>)</h4>
-
-<p class="center">Now touching their petition and articles</p>
-
-<p class="p-left">Where they pretend that they must haue exercise to enable them in their
-seruice before her maiestie:</p>
-
-<p>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.</p>
-
-<p>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.</p>
-
-<p class="p-left">Where they pretend the mater of stay of their lyuing:</p>
-
-<p>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.</p>
-
-<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_301">[301]</span></p>
-
-<p class="p-left">Where in the first article they require the L. Maiors order to continue
-for the times of playeing on hollydaies:</p>
-
-<p>They missreport the order. For all those former orders of toleration
-are expired by the last printed act of common Counsell.</p>
-
-<p>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.</p>
-
-<p class="p-left">To the second article.</p>
-
-<p>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.</p>
-
-<p class="p-left">To the third.</p>
-
-<p>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.</p>
-
-<p>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

-vse and moderacion of them retained, The Lordes and the rest of hir
-Maiesties privie Councell, withe one and full Consent, haue ordered in
-manner and forme as followeth.</p>
-
-<p>First, that there shall bee about the Cittie two howses and noe more
-allowed to serue for the vse of the Common Stage plaies, of the which
-howses one shalbe in Surrey in that place which is Commonlie called
-the banckside or there aboutes, and the other in Midlesex. And foras
-muche as there Lordshippes haue bin enformed by Edmond Tylney Esquire,
-hir Maiesties seruant and Master of the Reuells, that the howse now in
-hand to be builte by the said Edward Allen is not intended to encrease
-the number of the Plaiehowses, but to be in steed of an other, namelie
-the Curtaine, Which is either to be ruined and plucked downe or to be
-putt to some other good vse, as also that the scituacion thereof is
-meete and Conuenient for that purpose. Yt is likewise ordered that the
-said howse of Allen shall be allowed to be one of the two howses, and
-namelie for the house to be alowed in Middlesex, [for the Companie
-of Plaiers belonging to the L: Admirall], soe as the house Called
-the Curtaine be (as yt is pretended) either ruinated or applied to
-some other good vse. And for the other allowed to be on Surrey side,
-whereas [there Lordshipps are pleased to permitt]<span class="pagenum" id="Page_331">[331]</span> to the Companie of
-players that shall plaie there to make there owne Choice which they
-will haue [of diuers houses that are there], Choosinge one of them and
-noe more, [And the said Companie of Plaiers, being the Seruantes of the
-L. Chamberlen, that are to plaie there haue made choise of the house
-called the Globe, yt is ordered that the said house and none other
-shall be there allowed]. And especiallie yt is forbidden that anie
-stage plaies shalbe plaied (as sometimes they haue bin) in any Common
-Inn for publique assemblie in or neare about the Cittie.</p>
-
-<p>Secondlie, forasmuche as these stage plaies, by the multitude of
-houses and Companie of players, haue bin too frequent, not seruing for
-recreacion but inviting and Callinge the people daily from there trad
-and worke to mispend there time, It is likewise ordered that the two
-seuerall Companies of Plaiers assigned vnto the two howses allowed
-maie play each of them in there seuerall howse twice a weeke and noe
-oftener, and especially that they shall refraine to play on the Sabboth
-daie, vppon paine of imprisonment and further penaltie, and that they
-shall forbeare altogether in the time of Lent, and likewise at such
-time and times as anie extraordinarie sicknes or infeccion of disease
-shall appeare to be in and about the Cittie.</p>
-
-<p>Thirdlie, because these orders wilbe of litle force and effecte vnlesse
-they be dulie putt in execucion by those to whome yt appertaineth to
-see them executed, It is ordered that seuerall Coppies shall be sent
-to the L. Mayor of London, and to the Iustices of the Peace of the
-Counties of Middlesex and Surrey, and that Lettres should be written
-vnto them from there Lordshipps, straightlye Charginge them to see the
-execucion of the same, as well by Committinge to prison the owners of
-Plaiehouses and players as shall disobey &amp; resist these orders, as by
-anie other good and lawfull meanes that in there discretion they shall
-finde expedient, And to certifie there Lordshipps from time to time, as
-they shall se Cause, of there proceedinges therein.</p>

-and stage plaies in and about the cittie of London.</p>
-
-<p>For whereas about a yeare and a half since (upon knowledge taken of

-inordinate concourse of dissolute and idle people be restrayned, wee do
-now understande that our said order hath bin so farr from takinge dew

-the multitude of play howses is much encreased, and that no daie
-passeth over without many stage plaies in one place or other within and
-about the cittie publiquelie made.</p>
-
-<p>The default of perfourmance of which our said order we must in greate

-<p>Wee do therefore once againe renew heereby our direction unto you (as
-wee have donne by our letters to the Justices of Middlesex and Surrey)
-concerninge the observation of our former order, which wee do praie and
-require you to cause duelie and dilligentlie to be put in execution

-prohibition of any more play howses then those two that are mentioned

-<p>[<i>Bibliographical Note.</i>&mdash;Early accounts of the vital
-statistics of the plague are J. 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 play restraints cited are in
-App. D.</p>
-
-<p><i>1560.</i> Trinity term was adjourned to Michaelmas on 24 May
-(<i>Procl.</i> 525), but plague is not named as the reason.</p>
-
-<p><i>1563.</i> 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, <i>Annales</i>, 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. (<i>Procl.</i> 582), and Hilary term transferred
-to Hertford on 10 Dec. (<i>Procl.</i> 583). Plays were restrained on 30
-Sept.</p>
-
-<p><i>1564–6.</i> The bills show no plague deaths over 30.</p>
-
-<p><i>1568.</i> Some precautions were taken in the City and Westminster
-against plague (Creighton, i. 318, 338).</p>
-
-<p><i>1569.</i> 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; <i>Sp. P.</i> ii. 193, 203). Michaelmas term was
-deferred on 28 Sept. (<i>Procl.</i> 642) and adjourned to Hilary on
-23 Oct. (<i>Procl.</i> 644). Access to court was restrained on 3 Oct.
-(<i>Procl.</i> 643).</p>
-
-<p><i>1570.</i> There was plague in July and August (<i>Hatfield MSS.</i>
-i. 476; <i>Sp. P.</i> ii. 262, 270, 273; Creighton, i. 338). Michaelmas
-term was deferred on 24 Sept. (<i>Procl.</i> 658).</p>
-
-<p><i>1572.</i> Harrison reports a restraint of plays for fear of plague.
-There is no other evidence.</p>
-
-<p><i>1573.</i> Plague appeared in the autumn (Creighton, i. 339). The
-Lord Mayor’s feast was suppressed (<i>Remembrancia</i>, 38).</p>
-
-<p><i>1574.</i> Michaelmas term was deferred on 1 Oct. (<i>Procl.</i>
-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.</p>
-
-<p><i>1575.</i> There was plague in Westminster, but apparently none in
-London (Creighton, i. 340). Michaelmas term was deferred on 26 Sept.
-(<i>Procl.</i> 696).</p>
-
-<p><i>1576.</i> There was plague in the Tower on 13 July (Dasent, ix.
-163). Michaelmas term was deferred on 29 Sept. (<i>Procl.</i> 708).</p>
-
-<p><i>1577.</i> 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. (<i>Procl.</i>
-719), and further on 15 Oct. (<i>Procl.</i> 722).</p>
-
-<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_347">[347]</span></p>
-
-<p><i>1578.</i> 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. (<i>Procl.</i> 724) and 20 Oct. (<i>Procl.</i>
-725), and adjourned on 14 Nov. to Hilary (<i>Procl.</i> 729). Plays
-were restrained on 10 Nov. and the restraint removed on 23 Dec.</p>
-
-<p><i>1579.</i> The plague deaths were below 30 in each week, totalling
-629 for the year.</p>
-
-<p><i>1580.</i> 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 (<i>Remembrancia</i>, 329).</p>
-
-<p><i>1581.</i> 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.
-(<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. The total, for 121 parishes, was 2,124. Michaelmas
-term was adjourned on 23 Sept. (<i>Procl.</i> 1038) and access to court
-restrained on 1 Nov. (<i>Procl.</i> 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.</p>
-
-<p><i>1607.</i> 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.
-(<i>Procl.</i> 1050).</p>
-
-<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_351">[351]</span></p>
-
-<p><i>1608.</i> 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).</p>
-
-<p><i>1609.</i> The plague of this year, the heaviest since 1603, is
-recorded in Dekker’s <i>Work for Armourers</i> (1609, <i>Works</i>,
-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. (<i>Procl.</i> 1085). The
-King’s men practised privately for six weeks this winter (App. B).</p>
-
-<p><i>1610.</i> 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.</p>
-
-<p><i>1611–16.</i> Plague was absent from London (Creighton, i. 496).</p>

-<p>[Extract from Sebastiano Serlio’s <i>Architettura</i> (1551),
-being the text of ff. 26<sup>v</sup>-31<sup>v</sup> of <i>Il secondo libro di
-Perspettiva</i>, which also contain five woodcuts, representing
-(<i>A</i>) the <i>profilo</i> or section of a stage (f. 26<sup>v</sup>),
-(<i>B</i>) the <i>pianta</i> or ground-plan of the same stage
-(f. 27<sup>v</sup>), (<i>C</i>), (<i>D</i>), (<i>E</i>) elevations
-of a <i>scena comica</i> (f. 28<sup>v</sup>), <i>scena tragica</i>
-(f. 29<sup>v</sup>), and <i>scena satyrica</i> (f. 30). An English
-translation, through the ‘Dutch’, of the five books of the
-<i>Architettura</i> was published in 1611, having been entered
-in the Stationers’ Register by Thomas Snodham on 14 Dec. 1611
-(Arber, iii. 473). Each book has a separate imprint, <i>London
-Printed for Robert Peake and are to be sold at his shop neere
-Holborne conduit, next to the Sunne Tauerne. Anno Dom. 1611</i>.
-Each has also a colophon, with slight variants; that of the
-fifth book, which alone names the printer, is <i>Here endeth
-the fift Booke: And this also is the end of the whole worke
-of Sebastian Serlius; Translated out of Italian into Dutch,
-and out of Dutch into English, at the charges of Robert Peake.
-Printed at London, by Simon Stafford. 1611. B. W.</i> I do not
-know whether B. W. conceals the name of a translator. Robert
-Peake, who also signs an Epistle to Prince Henry, prefixed to
-the first book, was not a stationer, but a serjeant painter
-to James. In this translation the <i>Treatise of Scenes</i>
-occupies ff. 23<sup>v</sup>-27 of Bk. ii, ch. 3. The title of this book
-is <i>The second Booke of Architecture, made by Sebastian
-Serly, entreating of Perspectiue, which is, Inspection, or
-looking into, by shortening of the sight</i>. The woodcuts are
-reproduced, with some modifications, especially in details of
-heraldic decoration.]</p>

-comprendere doue et come si debbia porre l’ orizonte delle scene, per

-possino intendere; ma sara perho bene a studiare prima su la pianta, et
-se quelle cose non si intenderanno ne la pianta, recorrere al profilo
-doue meglio s’ intendera. Primieramente donque io cominciaro dal suolo
-dauanti: loquale sara a l’ altezza de l’ occhio et voglio que sia
-piano et e segnato <span class="allsmcap">C</span>, et da <span class="allsmcap">B</span> fin a l’ <span class="allsmcap">A</span>
-sara lo suolo leuato dalla parte de <span class="allsmcap">A</span> la nona parte; et quel
-diritto piu grosso sopra del qual e <span class="allsmcap">M</span> dinota lo muro nel capo
-della sala. Quel diritto piu sottile doue e <span class="allsmcap">P</span> sara lo pariete
-della scena cioe l’ ultimo. Il termine doue e l’ <span class="allsmcap">O</span> e l’
-orizonte. La linea di punti che viene ad essere aliuello da <span class="allsmcap">L</span>
-a <span class="allsmcap">O</span> 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 <span class="allsmcap">O</span>. 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 <span class="allsmcap">D</span>: la parte
-<span class="allsmcap">E</span> rappresenta l’ horchestra leuata da terra mezzo piede. Doue
-si vede <span class="allsmcap">F</span> sonno le sedie de piu nobili. Li primi gradi segnati

-Quel gran spacio segnato <span class="allsmcap">K</span> sara per la plebe, et sara magiore

-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

-Theatro senza appoggio alcuno, io volsi (per magior fortezza) farlo

-<h4><i>Trattato sopra le Scene.</i></h4>
-
-<p>[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<span class="pagenum" id="Page_356">[356]</span> 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
-<span class="allsmcap">C</span> e quel suolo<span class="pagenum" id="Page_358">[358]</span> 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 <span class="allsmcap">B</span>; 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 <span class="allsmcap">B</span> 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 <span class="allsmcap">A</span> 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
-<span class="allsmcap">B</span> che sara <span class="allsmcap">L</span> 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 <span class="allsmcap">D</span> seruira per proscenio. La
-parte circolare segnata <span class="allsmcap">E</span> sara l’ orchestra leuata vn grado

-<h4><i>Della Scena Comica.</i></h4>
-
-<p>[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<span class="pagenum" id="Page_360">[360]</span> 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.</p>

- </div>
-
-
-<h4><i>Della Scena Tragica.</i></h4>
-
-<p>[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<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>
-
-
-<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>

-
-<h4><i>How a Gallant should behaue himself in a Playhouse.</i></h4>
-
-<p>The Theater is your Poets Royal Exchange, vpon which, their Muses (that
-are now turnd to Merchants) meeting, barter away that<span class="pagenum" id="Page_366">[366]</span> light commodity
-of words for a lighter ware then words, <i>Plaudities</i> and the
-<i>Breath</i> of the great <i>Beast</i>, which (like the threatnings
-of two Cowards) vanish all into aire. <i>Plaiers</i> are their
-<i>Factors</i>, 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 <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. I meane
-not into the Lords roome, (which is now but the Stages Suburbs). No,
-those boxes, by the iniquity of custome, conspiracy of waiting-women
-and Gentlemen-Ushers, that there sweat together, and the couetousnes of
-Sharers, are contemptibly thrust into the reare, and much new Satten
-is there dambd by being smothred to death in darknesse. But on the
-very Rushes where the Commedy is to daunce, yea and vnder the state
-of <i>Cambises</i> himselfe must our fethered <i>Estridge</i>, like a
-peece of Ordnance be planted valiantly (because impudently) beating
-downe the mewes and hisses of the opposed rascality.</p>
-
-<p>For do but cast vp a reckoning, what large cummings in are pursd vp by
-sitting on the Stage. First a conspicuous <i>Eminence</i> 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.</p>
-
-<p>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 <i>Scænes</i>[;] yet no man shall
-once offer to hinder you from obtaining the title of an insolent,
-ouer-weening Coxcombe.</p>
-
-<p>By sitting on the stage, you may (without trauelling for it) at the
-very next doore, aske whose play it is: and, by that <i>Quest</i> of
-<i>inquiry</i>, 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.</p>
-
-<p>By sitting on the stage, if you be a Knight, you may happily get you a
-Mistresse: if a mere <i>Fleet street</i> Gentleman, a wife: but assure<span class="pagenum" id="Page_367">[367]</span>
-yourselfe by continuall residence, you are the first and principall man
-in election to begin the number of <i>We three</i>.</p>
-
-<p>By spreading your body on the stage, and by being a Justice in
-examining of plaies, you shall put your selfe into such true
-<i>Scænical</i> 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.</p>
-
-<p>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, &amp;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 <i>Rabble</i> 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.</p>
-
-<p>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 <i>Properties</i>, or that you
-dropt out of the <i>Hangings</i>, to creepe from behind the Arras, with
-your <i>Tripos</i> 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 <i>Pelion</i> vpon <i>Ossa</i>, 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,<span class="pagenum" id="Page_368">[368]</span> or that you fall
-into his hands in the middle of a Watch, his word shall be taken for
-you: heele cry, <i>Hees such a Gallant</i>, 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.</p>
-
-<p>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 <i>Ticket</i>: 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.</p>
-
-<p>Before the Play begins, fall to cardes, you may win or loose (as
-<i>Fencers</i> doe in a prize) and beate one another by confederacie,
-yet share the money when you meete at supper: notwithstanding, to gul
-the <i>Ragga-muffins</i> 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.</p>
-
-<p>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, &amp;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
-<i>Mimicks</i> are beholden to you, for allowing<span class="pagenum" id="Page_369">[369]</span> them elbow roome:
-their Poet cries perhaps a pox go with you, but care not you for that,
-theres no musick without frets.</p>
-
-<p>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.</p>
-
-<p>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 <i>Arcadian</i> and <i>Euphuisd</i> 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. The next places that are fild, after the
-Playhouses bee emptied, are (or ought to be) Tauernes, into a Tauerne
-then let vs next march, where the braines of one Hogshead must be
-beaten out to make vp another.</p>

-<p>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<span class="pagenum" id="Page_370">[370]</span> quite supprest,
-and that of the Children of the Chappel converted to the use of the
-Children of the Revels....</p>
-
-<p>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.</p>
-
-<p>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.</p>

-<p><i>Truman.</i> I say, the actors that I have seen, before the Wars,
-Lowin, Taylor, Pollard, and some others, were almost as far beyond Hart
-and his company; as those were, beyond these now in being....</p>
-
-<p><i>Lovewit.</i> Pray, Sir, what master-parts can you remember the old<span class="pagenum" id="Page_371">[371]</span>
-‘Blackfriars’ men to act, in Johnson’s, Shakespeare’s, and Fletcher’s
-plays?</p>
-
-<p><i>Truman.</i> What I can at present recollect I’ll tell you.
-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
-<i>Alchemist</i>; Melancius in the <i>Maid’s tragedy</i>. 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.</p>
-
-<p>Taylor acted Hamlet incomparably well; Jago; Truewit, in the <i>Silent
-Woman</i>; and Face, in the <i>Alchemist</i>.</p>
-
-<p>Swanston used to play Othello.</p>
-
-<p>Pollard and Robinson were Comedians. So was Shank; who used to act Sir
-Roger in the <i>Scornful Lady</i>. These were of the ‘Blackfriars’....</p>
-
-<p><i>Truman.</i> Before the Wars, there were in being, all these Play
-Houses at the same time.</p>
-
-<div class="blockquot">
-
-<p class="hangingindent">The ‘Blackfriars’ and ‘Globe’ on the Bankside. A winter, and
-summer house belonging to the same Company; called ‘The King’s
-Servants’.</p>
-
-<p class="hangingindent">The ‘Cockpit’ or ‘Phoenix’ in Drury Lane; called ‘The Queen’s
-Servants’.</p>
-
-<p class="hangingindent">The Private House in Salisbury Court; called ‘The Prince’s
-Servants’.</p>
-
-<p class="hangingindent">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.</p>
-</div>
-
-<p class="p-left">All these Companies got money, and lived in reputation: especially
-those of the ‘Blackfriars’, who were men of grave and sober behaviour.</p>
-
-<p><i>Lovewit.</i> 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.</p>
-
-<p><i>Truman.</i> 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....</p>
-
-<p><i>Lovewit.</i> I have read of one Edward Alleyn.... Was he one of the
-‘Blackfriars’?</p>
-
-<p><i>Truman.</i> 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<span class="pagenum" id="Page_372">[372]</span> the ‘Fortune’
-playhouse from the ground: a large round brick building....</p>
-
-<p><i>Lovewit.</i> What kind of Playhouses had they before the Wars?</p>
-
-<p><i>Truman.</i> 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.</p>
-
-<p><i>Lovewit.</i> I have seen that.</p>
-
-<p><i>Truman.</i> 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.</p>
-
-<p>The ‘Globe’, ‘Fortune’, and ‘Bull’ were large houses, and lay partly
-open to the weather: and there they always acted by daylight....</p>
-
-<p><i>Truman.</i> 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,
-<i>Cynthia’s Revels</i> and the <i>Poetaster</i> 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.</p>

-
-<p>The production is assigned by Fuller, <i>Hist. of Cambridge</i>
-(ed. Nichols), 217, to a visit by the Earl of Essex to Cambridge
-as Chancellor of the University in 1597–8. 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 <i>Device</i> 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
-<i>Laelia</i>. The actors of these two parts are identified with
-George Meriton and George Mountaine, Fellows of Queens’, by John
-Weever, <i>Epigrammes</i> (1599), iv. 19.</p>

-
-<p>Conceivably this may also attribute authorship of the play and

-<p>The introductory line, ‘Ante quater denos vixi Pedantius
-annos’,<span class="pagenum" id="Page_377">[377]</span> suggests production in 1591, but the play cannot
-have been very recent when Sir John Harington, in a note
-to his translation of <i>Orlando Furioso</i> (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 <i>Apologie of Poetrie</i>,
-prefixed to the translation, Harington also says (G. Smith,
-<i>Elizabethan Critical Essays</i>, ii. 210), ‘How full of
-harmeles myrth is our Cambridge <i>Pedantius</i>? and the
-Oxford <i>Bellum Grammaticale</i>?’ Harington, who again cites
-‘our <i>Pedantius</i> of Cambridge’ in his <i>Metamorphosis
-of Ajax</i> (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 <i>Pedantius</i>, and hardly more
-that Wingfield was concerned in this satire. Nashe has two
-allusions to the matter. In <i>Strange News</i> (1593) he
-says that Harvey’s verses were ‘miserably flouted at in M.
-<i>Winkfields</i> Comoedie of <i>Pedantius</i> in Trinitie
-Colledge’ (<i>Works</i>, i. 303). 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 &amp; 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>

-<p>[<i>Preliminary Note.</i>&mdash;This is a chronological abstract
-of plays, printed or entered for printing in the Stationers’
-Register, of which either the entry or the possible date of
-production falls in 1558–1616. 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>

-<p>[<i>Bibliographical Note.</i>&mdash;As unknown prints have turned up
-in the sale of an Irish collection (1907) and the Mostyn sale
-(1919), and others may yet turn up from time to time, I give a
-list of plays as to the existence or preparation for publication
-of which there is some evidence. 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’. 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.]</p>

-necessarye for younge gentlemen Discoveringe the sleightes
-of treacherous servantes and the subtile cariages of filthye
-bawdes.’ <i>William Aspley</i> (Arber, iii. 127).</p>
-
-<p>This was doubtless, like the earlier <i>Calisto and Meliboea</i>
-(<i>Mediaeval Stage</i>, ii. 455) and James Mabbe’s
-<i>The Spanish Bawd</i> (1631), a version of the Spanish
-<i>Celestina</i> (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

-
-<p>The Admiral’s produced ‘Chinone of Ingland’ as a new play on

-S. R. entry to Christopher Middleton’s romance, <i>The Famous

-
-<p>Collier, <i>Stationers’ Registers</i>, i. 155, suggested that

-<p>[<i>Bibliographical Note.</i>&mdash;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
-<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>

-
-<p>These indexes are selective, not exhaustive. That of <i>Plays</i>
-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
-<i>Persons</i> 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
-<i>Places</i> 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
-<i>Subjects</i> inverted commas are used for technical terms and for
-ordinary objects as represented on the stage.</p>

-Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

-
-<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'>
-Project Gutenberg&#8482; depends upon and cannot survive without widespread
-public support and donations to carry out its mission of
-increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
-freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest
-array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
-($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
-status with the IRS.
-</div>
-
-<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'>
-The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
-charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
-States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
-considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
-with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
-where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
-DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state
-visit <a href="https://www.gutenberg.org/donate/">www.gutenberg.org/donate</a>.
-</div>
-
-<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'>

-
-<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'>
-International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make

-<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'>
-Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project

-Project Gutenberg&#8482; eBooks are often created from several printed
-editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in

-necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
-edition.
