" Ingenious, fluent, facetious Thomas Nash," says Dekker, " from what abundant Digitized by VjOOQIC 68 The English Drama. pen flowed honey to thy friends and mortal aconite to thy enemies." Nash is supposed to have been a collaborator in Marlowe's " Queen Dido." " Will Summer's Testa- ment," is his best known play. Nash is par- ticularly remembered for his staujich defense of his dead friend Greene's reputation against the attacks of Gabriel Harvey. Thomas Lodge, son of a Lord Mayor, was succes...sively scholar, actor, poet, adventurer and physician. In comparison to his other writings his plays are insignificant. He collaborated with Greene in the composi- tion of ** Looking-Glass of London," and produced the stiff, unnatural tragedy of " The Wounds of Civil War." Lodge's claims as a poet must rest upon his lyrics. Christopher Marlowe was born at Canter- bury in the same year with Shakespeare, 1564. Although a shoemaker's son, he was given the advantages of a Cambridge educa- tion, probably by the assistance of some wealthy gentleman, it is thought Sir Roger Marwood.
