[1184] Lodge's prefatory Sonnet.

[1185] The 'Sacrapant' of both; cf. also O. F. ll. 73-76 with O. W. T. ll. 808-811.

[1186] So Collier, Memoirs of Alleyn; Fleay, Shakespeare, p. 96.

[1187] Dr. Ward has mentioned the 'Sacrapant'; but even more striking is the appearance in Perymedes' Tale of the Third Night's Exercise not only of 'Melissa' and her cousin 'Angelica,' but of 'Brandamant' and 'Rosilius,' who at once suggest the Brandimart and Rosillion of Orlando.

[1191] Between 1584 and 1588 (see Induction to Barth. Fayre). Maybe as early as 1583-1587 (Schick, Span. Trag.).

[1192] Note the frequent calls for "revenge"; and cf. the "Hamlet, revenge!" a cant phrase in 1588-89. Grosart gives reason for believing that the Menaphon first appeared before July, 1588 (Greene, I. 104). In the Epistle prefixed to it, Nashe ridiculed the Hamlet.

[1193] Cf. O. F. ll. 83, 84, with Tullie's Love (1589), "one orient margarite richer than those which Cæsar brought," etc.; and O. F. ll. 461, 462, with N. T. L. (published 1590); "If the Cobler hath taught thee to say Ave Cæsar."
