[690] Collier, op. cit., i, 443.
[691] The Dramatic Works of Shackerley Marmion, in Dramatists of the Restoration, p. 37. Fleay (A Biographical Chronicle of the English Drama, ii, 66) suggests that the impostors Agurtes and Autolichus are meant to satirize Williams and Dixon respectively.
[692] I quote the letter from Collier, The History of English Dramatic Poetry (1879), i, 444.
[693] Bliss's edition, iii, 741.
[694] "Pretty little theatre" is the reading of MS. Aubr. 7, folio 20; MS. Aubr. 8 omits the adjective "pretty." For Aubrey's full account of Ogilby see Andrew Clark's Brief Lives (1898), 2 vols.
[695] Aubrey mentions this as having been "written in Dublin, and never printed."
[696] Published in 1640 as "the first part," and both the Prologue and the Epilogue speak of a second part; but no second part was printed, and in all probability it never was written.
[697] Never licensed for England; reprinted in 1657 with St. Patrick for Ireland.
[698] MS. Aubr. 7, folio 20 v. Ogilby's second theatre in Dublin, built after the Restoration, does not fall within the scope of the present work.
[699] See Frederick Hawkins, Annals of the French Stage (1884), i, 148 ff., for the career of this player on the French stage. "Every gift required by the actor," says Hawkins, "was possessed by Floridor."
