I shall not be so presumptuous to criticise on a Play which has been made Sacred by the Protection of Majesty it self besides I am deterr'd from Criticism by the Stationers Friend's Advice in his Verses in Commendation of the Play at least good Manners sayes They first should understand it e're dispraise William MOUNTFORT One who from an Actor sets up for an Author and has attempted both Tragedy and Comedy with what success I leave to those who have seen his Plays to determine Had I been of the number of his Friends I should have endeavour'd to have perswaded him still to act Sir Courtly Nice in bestowing only Garniture on a Play as he calls it as a Song or a Prologue and let alone sine Language as belonging only to Pedants and poor Fellows that live by their Wits He has publisht two Plays viz. Injur'd Lovers or The Ambitious Father a Tragedy acted by their Majesties Servants at the Theatre-Royal printed 4o. London 1688. and dedicated to the Right Honourable James Earl of Arran Son to his Grace the Duke of Hamilton There are some Surlyes who think that in this Play Sir Courtly writ for his Diversion but never regarded Wit Successful Strangers a Tragi-comedy acted by their Majesties servants at the Theatre-Royal printed 4o.

He justifies that 't is no borrow'd Strain From the Invention of another's Brain Nor did he steal the Fancy 'T is the same forth He first intended by the Proper Name 'T was not a Toyl of Years few Weeks brought This Rugged Issue might have been more worth If he had lick'd it more Nor doth he raise From th' Imitation of Authentick Plays Matter or Words to height nor bundle up Conceits at Taverns where the Wits do sup His Muse is solitary and alone Doth practice her low Speculation c.

observes of the Writers of Romances Flea'd the Eel by beginning at the Tail yet notwithstanding what she has omitted of worth in her first part she has taken into the second and therefore could not justly call these Plays her own Round-heads or The good Old Cause a Comedy acted at the Duke's Theatre printed in quarto Lond. 1682. and Dedicated to the Most Illustrious Prince Henry Fitz-Roy Duke of Grafton A great part of the Language of this Play is borrow'd from Tateham's Rump or a Mirror of the Times but yet she has a better Title to this Play than the former having much improv'd the Humor of the Round-heads Sr. Patient Fancy a Comedy Acted at the Duke's Theatre printed in quarto Lond. 1678. The Hint of Sr. Patient Fancy is borrow'd from a French Play called Le Malade imaginaire and the Characters of Sr. Credulous Easy and his Groom Curry are stol'n from Sr. Amphilus the Cornish Knight and his Man Trebasco in Brome's Play called The Damoseille Town Fop or Sr. Timothy Tawdrey a Comedy acted at his Royal Highness the Duke's Theatre printed in quarto Lond. 1677.

J. a Friend to the Authress by whom this Play was publisht after her Decease I refer the Reader to this Epistle for the Plays justification only I cannot but observe that the Prologue was written Ten years since and publisht before Mr. Shadwell's True Widow and if I mistake not the Epilogue is Old likewise For the Story of Bacon I know no History that relates it but his Catastrophe is founded on the known story of Cassius who perished by the Hand of his freed-Man Dandorus believing his Friend Brutus vanquished Young King or The Mistake a Tragi-Comedy acted at the Duke's Theatre printed in quarto Lond. 1683. and dedicated to some Gentleman her particular Friend under the Name of Philaster The Design of this Play is borrow'd from Monsieur Calpranede's Cleopatra see the History of Alcamenes and Menalippa Part VIII Besides these Plays this Ingenious Woman has publisht several other Works both in Verse and Prose As a Collection of Poems in octavo Lond. 1684. and a Collection of several Others in octavo Lond. 1685. Another Volume in octavo Lond. 1688. amongst all which are many of her own Composures Her several Versions from the French are commended by those who think themselves Judges of Wit amongst which the chiefest are A Voyage to the Island of Love Lycidas or The Lover in Fashion and The Lover's Watch. These Pieces in the Original may be found in the second and third Tomes of Le Receueil des Pieces Gallantes en Prose en Vers 8 o Paris 1684. Those who will take the pains to compare them will find the English rather Paraphrases than just Translations but which sufficiently shew the Fancy and excellent Abilities of our Authress She has written other Pieces in prose which have had the fortune to please as The Love Letters between a Nobleman and his Sister in Three Volumes octavo Lond. 1684. c. Three Histories printed in octavo Lond. 1688. viz. Oroonoko or The Royal Slave The fair Jilt or Tarquin and Miranda Agnes de Castro or The Force of Generous Love There are two other small Novels under her Name viz. History of the Nun or The fair Vow-breaker 120 London 1689. The Lucky Mistake 120 Lond. 1689. What Opinion the Wits of the Age had of her may appear from several Copies of Verses written before her Translation of Monsieur Bonnecorse's La Montre or The Watch amongst whom Mr. Charles Cotton who was no contemptible Poet gives her the following Character Some hands write some things well are elsewhere lame But on all Theams your power is the same Of Buskin and of Sock you know the Pace And tread in both with equal Skill and Grace But when you write of Love Astrea then Love dips his Arrows where you wet your Pen. Such charming Lines did never Paper grace Soft as your Sex and smooth as Beauty's Face Dawbridge-court BELCHIER An English-man who liv'd in the Reign of King James the First but one who was an Inhabitant of the Town of Utreicht in the Low Countries at the time of his writing an Interlude called Hans Beer-pot his invisible Comedy of See me and see me not acted by an honest Company of Health-Drinkers printed in quarto Lond. 1618. and dedicated to the Honourable Sr. John Ogle Colonel of our English Regiment of Foot under the Lords the Estates General of the United Provinces and Lord Governor of the Town and Garison of Utreicht This Piece is neither Comedy nor Tragedy as wanting First the just number of Speakers Secondly those Parts or Acts it should have which should be at the least Five but a plain Conference of so many Persons consisting of Three Acts and no more Richard BERNARD This Person flourish'd at Epworth in Lincoln-shire in the time of Queen Elizabeth and was as I suppose the first Translator of Terence's Comedies entire which tho'not so well translated into English as into French by the famous Abbot de Villeloin Monsieur de Marolles or by Monsieur de Martignac yet certainly it is passable for the time in which he liv'd Besides the bare Translation of the whole Six Comedies viz. Andraea Adelphi c. he has taken notice in each Scene of the most remarkable forms of Speech Theses and moral Sentences in imitation possibly of an old French Translation printed at Paris in octavo 1574. This Version is printed with the latine 4o. Cambridge 1598. and dedicated to Mr. Christopher Wray Son and Heir to Sr. William Wray and his Brothers Having given this short account of the Translator and his Work give me leave to speak somewhat of the Author Publius Terentius was a Native of Carthage but being taken Prisoner when he was very young he was sent to Rome He was brought up in Literature and all good Education by his Patron Terentius Seneca and afterwards freed by him on account of his Wit and good Meen He luckily found the best way of writing Comedy and he left some Pieces in that kind that few Persons have been able to imitate He was in great Esteem not only with the People in general by reason of his Dramatick Performances but particularly belov'd and cherish'd by Men of the best Quality as Publius Scipio Laelius and others His purity of Stile was so conspicuous that his Adversaries endeavour'd to perswade the People that he was assisted in his Plays by great Men which he handsomely takes notice of in his Prologue to the Adelphi Nam quod illi dicunt malevoli homines

Worthy Ancients which by any of my Country-men are Naturaliz'd I shall give some Account of them and their Writings as opportunity shall offer it self and therefore I crave leave to lay hold of this to speak a word or Two of Euripides This Poet was stil'd the Tragick Philosopher and was born at Phyla a Town in Attica in the 75 Olympiade and in the 274 Year after the Building of Rome Prodius taught him Rhetorick after which he made a Voyage to AEgypt with Plato to visit the Learned Men there and to improve himself by their Conversation He was also a Friend of Socrates and some have believed that this Philosopher assisted him in the Composition of his Tragedies He went from Athens dissatisfied with the People for preferring the Comick Writers before him and retir'd to the Court of Archelaus King of Macedonia about the year of Rome 338. This Prince confer'd many Favours on him and had a great value for him It happen'd at that time that a certain person nam'd Decamnion having raillied him about his Breath which was not over agreeable Archelaus sent him to Euripides to be punisht at his pleasure This so exasperated Decamnion both against the King and the Poet that for the sake of Revenge he join'd with other Conspirators in the Assassination of the Former and set Dogs upon the later which soon devour'd the Object of his Hatred Some say that this Misfortune proceeded from the Brutality of those irrational Creatures by accident and not design Others again relate that he receiv'd his Death from some inhumane Women against whom he had somewhat too bitterly inveigh'd I remember a pleasant Story in Ford's Apothegms that Sophocles being once ask'd the Reason why in his Tragedies he always represented Women Good and Euripides Wicked answer'd That Euripides describ'd them as they were he as they ought to be But Digression apart the time of his Death no more than the manner of it is agreed upon Some say he Dy'd about the 65 year of his Age in the 93 Olympiade and in the Year of Rome 348. being 406 years before the Incarnation of our Saviour Others say that he Dy'd not till the Year of Rome 351. The Ancients mention Ninety odd Tragedies writ by him of which at present we enjoy but Nineteen Supposes a Comedy Englisht from the Italian of Ariosto a famous Poet a Ferarese and Favuorite of Alphonsus the First Duke of Ferrara and of the Cardinal Hippolito d' Este his Brother He Dy'd the 13 of July in the Year 1533. I purposely decline to give a larger Account of his Life because it would swell my Book too much and the English Reader may satisfy his Curiosity by perusing his Life at the End of Sr. John Harrington's Translation of Orlando Furioso Those Vers'd in Italian may read his Life writ by Gierolamo Poro of Padoua Gierolamo Guarafola of Ferrara Simon Fornari of Rheggio c. This Play was presented at Gray's Inn and printed in quarto Lond. 1566. The Prologue as well as the Play is writ in prose This Prologue I suppose gave the Grounds for that writ by Mr. Duffet to the Play call'd Trappolin suppos'd a Prince as that did to the Epilogue of The Duke and No Duke Pleasure at Kenelworth Castle a Masque as Mr. Kirkman informs us in his Catalogue which I never saw Our Author has written several Poems of a Different Species which he calls Herbs and which with his Plays make a considerable Vollume and are printed together in quarto Lond. 1587. Henry GLAPTHORN An Author that liv'd in the Reign of King Charles the First who publisht several Plays which I presume in those days past with good Approbation at the Globe and Cock-pit Play-houses tho' I cannot agree with Mr. Winstanley That he was One of the chiefest Dramatick Poets of this Age. He writ Five Plays viz. Albertus Wallenstein Duke of Fridland and General to the Emperor Ferdinand the Second his Tragedy acted with good Allowance at the Globe on the Bank-side by His Majesties Servants printed in quarto Lond. 1640. and dedicated to the Great Example of Virtue and true Mecaenas's of Liberal Arts Mr. William Murrey of His Majesties Bed-chamber For the Plot see the Historians who have writ on the last German Wars in the Reign of Ferdinand the Second See besides M. Sarasins Walstein's Conspiracy translated into English 8 o Lond. 1678. Spondanus's Continuation of Baronius Fierzen L'Hist de Liege c. Argalus and Parthenia a Tragi-comedy acted at the Court before their Majesties and at the Private-house in Drury-lane by their Majesties Servants printed in quarto Lond. 1639. The Plot of this Play is founded on Sr. Philip Sidney's Arcadia a Romance in the Story of Argalus and Parthenia see pag. 16. c. Mr. Quarles has writ a pretty Poem on the same Foundation Hollander a Comedy written in the Year 1635. and then acted at the Cock-pit in Drury-lane by their Majesties Servants with good Allowance and at the Court before Both their Majesties printed in quarto Lond. 1640. and dedicated to the great Hope of growing Nobleness his Honourable Friend Sir Thomas Fisher. Lady's Priviledge a Comedy acted with good Allowance at the Cock-pit in Drury Lane and before Their Majesties at White-hall twice printed 4o. Lond. 1640. and dedicated to the true Example of Heroick Virtue and Favourer of Arts Sir Frederick Cornwallis Wit in a Constable a Comedy writ in the Year 1639. and then acted at the Cock-pit in Drury Lane by Their Majesties Servants with good Allowance printed 4o. Lond. 1640. and dedicated to the Right Honourable his singular good Lord Thomas Lord Wentworth Besides these Plays he has a Book of Poems extant in which are several Copies directed to his Mistress under the Name of Lucinda printed 4 o Lond. 1639. Thomas GOFF. A Gentleman that flourisht in the Reign of King James the First He was born in Essex towards the latter end of Queen Elizabeth's Reign about the Year 1592. In his Youth he was sent to Westminster-School and at the Age of Eighteen he was brought in Student of Christ-Church Colledge in Oxford Being an Industrious Scholar he arrived to be a good Poet a skilful Oratour and an Excellent Preacher In the Year 1623. he proceeded Batchelour of Divinity and was preferr'd to a Living in Surrey call'd East-Clandon there he got him a Wife which prov'd as great a plague to him as a Shrew could be and became a true Xantippe to our Ecclesiastical Socrates insomuch that she gave him daily opportunities of exercising his Patience and t is believ'd by some that this Domestick-scourge shortned his days He was buried at his own Parish-Church at Clandon the 27. of July 1627. He writ several Pieces on several Subjects amongst which are reckon'd five Plays viz. Careless Shepherdess a Tragi-comedy acted before the King and Queen at Salisbury-Court with great applause printed 4 o Lond. 1656. with an Alphabetical Catalogue of all such Plays that ever were

till that time published This Catalogue is very full of Errors throughout Couragious Turk or Amurath the First a Tragedy acted by the Students of Christ-Church in Oxford printed 8 o Lond. 1656. and dedicated to the No less Honoured than Deserving Sir Walter Tichborn by Mr. Rich. Meighen who publish'd it after the Authors Decease There is a Copy of Verses prefix'd to the Play writ I suppose by the same Person and directed to the Author In that Transcribing his Book without his Knowledge he was bound by promise to stand to his pleasure to keep it or burn it For the Plot consult the Writers of the Turkish History in the Reign of Amurath as Leunclacius Chalcocondylas Knolles c. Orestes his Tragedy acted by the Students of Christs Church in Oxford printed 8 o Lond. 1656. How far our Author has follow'd Sophocles in his Electra or Euripides in Orestes I shall leave to the search of the Learned Reader only I cannot but observe that when I first read it I thought by the length it might vye with that Epick Poem of Orestes which Juvenal complains of as being Summi plenâjam margine libri Scriptus in tergo nec dum finitus Orestes Raging Turk or Bajazet the Second a Tragedy acted by the Students of Christ-Church in Oxford printed 8 o Lond. 1656. This Play was writ with the two foregoing Tragedies when the Author was Master of Arts and Student of Christ-Church but not printed till after his decease and then dedicated by Mr. Richard Meighen the Publisher To the No less Ingenious than Zealous Favourer of Ingenuity Sir Richard Tichborn Brother to the above-nam'd Sir Walter For the Plot consult Chalcocondylas Artus Knolles c. These three last Plays are all printed together in 8 o Lond. 1656. Selimus Emperour of the Turks his Tragedy printed 4 o Lond. 1638. I question whether ever this Play were acted because it is not divided into Acts. The Author calls this the First Part and in his Conclusion as he stiles it or Epilogue he promises a Second Part saying If this First Part Gentles do like you well The Second Part shall greater Murthers tell But whether it was ever publisht I am ignorant tho' I am apt to believe not since 't is not mention'd in any Catalogue The Plot is founded on the Turkish History see the Writers of the Reign of Selimus the First as Paulus Jovius Mezeray Knolles c. Mr. Philips and Mr. Winstanley have father'd a Comedy on this Author call'd Cupids Whirligig tho' Democritus and Heraclius were not more different in their Temper than his Genius was opposite to Comedy Besides the true Father was one Mr. E.S. who as he says being long Pregnant with Desire to bring forth something and being afterwards brought a Bed had chose his Friend Mr. Robert Hayman to be God-father not doubting but his Child would be well maintain'd seeing he could not live above an hour with him and therefore he entreated him when he was dead that he might be buried deep enough in his good Opinion and that he might deserve this Epitaph Here lyes the Child that was born in Mirth Against the strict Rules of Child-birth And to be quit I gave him to my Friend Who laught him to death and that was his End Yours while he is his own I hope the Reader will forgive me this Digression which I was forc'd to in Vindication of my Author who was so far from this Ridiculous Stile and affected Mirth that nothing but Manly and Serious escap'd his Pen and in his latter Time he forsook the Stage for the Pulpit and instead of Plays employ'd himself in writing Sermons some of which have appear'd in Print in the Year 1627. To these I may add his Latin Funeral Oration in the Divinity-School at the Obsequies of Sr. Henry Savil printed 4 o Oxon. 1622. Another in Christ-Church Cathedral at the Funeral of Dr. Goodwin Cannon of that Church printed Lond. 1627. Robert GOMERSAL A Gentleman that lived in the Reign of King Charles the First and was the Eldest Son of an Esquire He was born at London and was sent by his Father to the University of Oxon. 1616. being then 14 Years of Age. He was enter'd at Christ-Church and in a little time was chose Student of that Royal-Foundation Here he took his Batchelors and Masters Degrees and in the Year 1627. he went out Batchelor of Divinity I know not what Preferment he got tho' I believe he was Minister of a place call'd Flower in Northamptonshire but this is only Conjecture from some of his Poems dated from thence However I am assur'd he died in the Year 1646. He is accounted by some no mean Preacher or Poet but this I leave to the Judgment of those who will peruse the Works which he has publisht and tho' Divinity ought to claim the preference yet Poetry being my immediate Subject I crave the Readers pardon that I give Account of his Poetry in the first place and begin with his Play call'd Lodovick Sforza Duke of Millain his Tragedy printed 8 o Lond. 1632. and dedicated to his most Worthy Friend Mr. Francis Hide Student of Christ-Church and Junior Proctor of the University in the Year 1627. I cannot satisfy the Readers whether ever this Play appear'd on any Stage but I can inform him that the Foundation of it may be read in Guicciardine lib. 1 2 c. Philip de Commines Mezeray in the Reign of Charles the VIII of France Besides this Play he has writ several other Poems which are printed with it as particularly The Levites Revenge containing Poetical Meditations upon the 19 and 20. Chapters of Judges and is dedicated to his Worthily Respected Friend Barten Holiday Arch-Deacon of Oxford This Poem is highly Commended by a Copy of Verses written by a Gentleman of the Middle-Temple but I shall leave this and his other Poems to the Readers perusal and Judgment He has several Sermons in print on the I. Pet. Chap. 2. Verse 13 14 15 16. printed 4o. Lond. 1663. Francis GOULDSMITH Esq I am able to recover no other Memoires of this Gentleman than that he liv'd in the Reign of King Charles the Martyr and oblig'd the World with the Translation of a Play out of Latin call'd Sophompaneas or The History of Joseph with Annotations a Tragedy printed 4 o Lond. 1640. and dedicated to the Right Honourable Henry Lord Marquess of Dochester This Dramma was writ by the Admirable Hugo Grotius publisht by him at Amsterdam 1635. and dedicated to Gerardus Vossius Professor of History and Civil Arts in the most flourishing City of Amsterdam He stiles it a Tragedy notwithstanding it ends successfully and quotes for his Authority AEschylus's Danaides Euripides his Alcestes Jon Helena Iphigenia among the Tauri and even Vossius his own Art of Poetry whether this Opinion be to be controverted or no I leave to the Criticks Some people make it a Question whether it be lawful to make a
