Speaking of Congre- ve's Mourning Bride, he maintains that to find any- thing so good we must go twelve years back to Venice Preserved or six years forward to the Fair Penitent} Comic Dramatists of the Restoration, p. 48. CHAPTER III. To avoid too cumbrous notes it has seemed de- sirable to refer to Seckendorff's^ German adaptation of Rowe's Fair Penitent in a separate chapter. I have not the means of ascertaining whether Seckendorff was acquainted with the original, or whether he used one of t...he afore-mentioned German translations. It is a melancholy reflection that a year following that of the publication of Lessing's Nathan the Wise, in which poem he established the supremacy of blank verse for dramatic composition, such a perverseness of taste should have been possible. The tragedy is written in buskined alexandrines, a metre entirely foreign to the genius of German prosody.^ All the faults of the French tragedy recur in this "detestable" imitation. The impressive story of Massinger's Fatal ^ Karl Siegmund von Seckendorff (1744 — 1785) became, after a successful military career (first in the Austrian service and afterwards in the Army of the King of Sardinia), Lord-in-Waiting in the ducal house- hold at Weimar, where he joined that elite of men of letters of which Goethe was the acknowledged leader.
