[1250] "What publishing of frivolous and scurrilous prognostications, as if Will Summers were again revived," etc. "And yet they shame not to subscribe 'By a graduate in Cambridge' 'In Artibus Magister.' ... They are the Pharisees of our time," etc. Note the plural. But though Nashe had revived Will Somers in the L. W. and T., though he was entitled to subscribe himself "Graduate in C.," as Greene had done, and though Greene is the A. M. and intended "Pharisee," etc., the "scurrilous prognostications" and the other earmarks are hard to find in L. W. and T., as we have it. The "lute-string" passage (Dods. IX. 22) recalls Thrasybulus' remarks in Lk.-Gl. Sc. v.; but that scene is probably by Lodge, and Nashe himself parallels the passage more closely in Christ's Tears (1593).
