FOOTNOTES:

[214] Cited by Oldys (MS. note in Langbaine's Account of Engl. Dram. Poets, p. 208)—Dyce.

[215] For this information I am indebted to my colleague, Professor Schevill.

[216] I know but two sane accounts of this matter: A. S. W. Rosenbach's in Mod. Lang. Notes, 101, Column 362 (1898); and Wolfgang von Wurzbach's, in Romanische Forschungen, XX, pp. 514-536 (1907).

[217] Oliphant, Engl. Stud., XV, 322. Macaulay, 'probably 1610.'

[218] Prologue in the first folio.

[219] Chapter VII.

[220] Even here, as Oliphant has said, Viola's first speech "is pure Beaumont."

[221] His scenes are I, 4, 6; II, 4; III, 3 (to "where I may find service"); IV, 1, 2, 7; V, 2, and the last twenty-seven lines of V, 3.

[231] Lines are numbered as in the Variorum edition.

[232] Fletcher affects this figure, cf. A Wife for a Month, Act II, 2, lines 47-48.

[233] Cf. his lines in Maides Tragedy, IV, 1, 252-254; in King and No King, IV, 2, 57-62; Philaster, V, 4, 114; Hum. Lieut., IV, 5, 51; Mad Lover, III, 4, 105; Loyall Subject, III, 6, 141; IV, 3, 70; Wife for a Month, IV, 5, 38, 39.

[234] The best editions of Philaster since the time of Dyce are those of F. S. Boas, in the Temple Dramatists (1898), P. A. Daniel, in the Variorum (1904), Glover and Waller, in the Camb. Engl. Classics (1905), and A. H. Thorndike in Belles Lettres (1906).

[235] Thorndike, for instance,—who selects lines 22-40 as an instance of Beaumont's skill in imitating natural conversation. Influence of B. and F. on Shakespeare, p. 129.
