The Old Couple. A Comedy. By Thomas May, Esq.; London, Printed by J. Cottrel, for Samuel Speed, at the signe of the Printing-press in S. Paul's Churchyard. 1658. 4 o .


As to the period when it was written, judging from internal evidence, it might be thought that May produced The Old Couple late in life, and it was certainly the last printed of any of his works. It will be observed that two lines in the last scene of this play close The Goblins of Sir John Suckling.
