1606. Revenge for Honour, a Tragedy, printed 1654. Temple, a Masque. Two Wise-men, and all the rest Fools, or a Comical Moral, censuringthe follies of that age, printed in London 1619. This play is extendedto seven acts, a circumstance which Langbaine says he never saw in anyother, and which, I believe, has never been practised by any poet, ancient or modern, but himself. Widow's Tears, a Comedy, often presented in the Black and WhiteFryars, printed in 4to. London 1612; this play is formed upon... thestory of the Ephesian Matron. These are all the plays of our author, of which we have been able to gain any account; he joined with BenJohnson and Marston in writing a Comedy called Eastward-Hoe; this playhas been since revived by Tate, under the title of Cuckolds Haven. Ithas been said that for some reflections contained in it against theScotch nation; Ben Johnson narrowly escaped the pillory. See more ofthis, page 237.
