 through Les Abusez (1543) of Charles Estienne. It is possible that, directly or indirectly, it influenced Twelfth Night.

Leander (March 1598). By W. Hawkesworth (q.v.).

Machiavellus (1597). ''Bodl. Douce MS''. 234, f. 40^v, dated 'Anno Dmni 1597, Decemb. 9'.

A note in Douce's hand assigns the authorship to [Nathaniel] Wiburne, who, like the other actors, was of St. John's, Cambridge, in 1597 (Boas, 398).

Melanthe (1615). By S. Brooke (q.v.).

Parthenia. Emmanuel, Cambridge, MS. 1. 3. 16. Greg, ''Pastoral Poetry and Pastoral Drama'', 368, thinks the handwriting later than 1600.

Greg, Pastoral, 247, points out that this must be the 'Fidus Pastor, which was sometimes acted by King's College men in Cambridge', out of which a contemporary observer thought that Daniel's Queen's Arcadia (q.v.) was drawn. It is a translation of Guarini's ''Il Pastor Fido'' (1590).
