To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This gentleman, a writing master by occupation, was living at Magdalen College, Oxford, during the first years of the seventeenth century. I have remarked on Marston's mention in connection with Romeo and Juliet, of two actors besides Kempe Roscio and Drusus and Marston asks his inter- locutor which is the better of these two. We know with reasonable certainty that in the literature of the day Roscio always meant Burbage, but we have no other allusion that I know of to Drusus as an actor ; but ...in view of the constant association of Burbage and Shakespeare, and Kempe having been already named, it is at least probable that Shakespeare maybe meant both by Drusus, and as the putter on of the pumps for the dancing orbs. And this conjecture is, I think, vastly strengthened when we find Davies in his "Microcosmus, " 1603, addressing the players, particularly praising two, both for their intellectual and moral merits, whom he designates in the margin of his notes as "R. B. " or "W. S. , " and adding as a final note the remark that Roscius was said for his excellence in his quality, to be only worthie to come on the stage, and for his honesty to be more worthy than to come on it.
