[1205] F. Q.. III. 3. 10 (pub. 1590, but privately circulated as early as 1587).
[1206] W. must be mistaken when he refers Scene xv. of Bacon to Chaps. XII., XIV., of the story-book. For the Miles of the play does no conjuring; and the devil who carries him off is the instrument of Bacon's vengeance.
[1207] Cf. the summoning of Burden and his hostess with that of Alexander and his paramour.
[1208] Grosart, I. 184.
[1209] But Grosart (I xxxvii.-xl.) appropriately recalls the preëxistence of the Taming of a Shrew. He queries the sequence,—James IV., M.N.D.,—but without upsetting it.
