To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" refers to the end of Mucedorus, but not neces- sarily to the later version. Envy must have said Amen in the earlier one, see the last lines, which show that this was acted at Court before Elizabeth. This Envy Induction in Mucedorus was imitated in Jonson's Poetaster, and the armed Prologue in the Poetaster by Shakespeare (?) in the present 190 THE EN"GLISH DEAMA. play (see the reference in 1. 23 to the "well-erected con- fidence " of Jonson's Prologue) ; so that these three plays are connecte...d, and should be studied together. But the authorship of the Troylus Prologue is very doubtful. Pass- ing from this conjectural matter, I think that, in any case, this play was acted at Cambridge, as we know that JvMus Ccesar and Hamlet were ; and if so, it was almost certainly in 1601, on the return from Scotland c. ISTovember, before Tlie Return from Parnassus. If it be objected that I assign too many plays to this year, I would answer that they were all plays refashioned from older versions, and that four such revivals involve less expense of energy than two entirely new plays.
