 Duke Humphrey. Ascribed to Shakespeare (q.v.).

English Arcadia. A comedy in Archer's list, but probably, as suggested by Greg, Masques, lxv, an error for Gervase Markham's romance (1607, 1613) of that name.

Eunuchus. By Kyffyn (q.v.)?

Faithful Friends. Ascribed to Beaumont (q.v.) and Fletcher.

Far Fetched and Dear Bought is Good for Ladies. S. R. 1566-7. 'A playe intituled farre fetched and deare bowght ys good for lades.' Thomas Hackett (Arber, i. 331).

Fatal Love. Ascribed to Chapman (q.v.).

Fortune. S. R. 1566-7. 'A playe of Fortune to know eche one hyr conditions and gentle manours aswell of Women as of men &c.' ''Thomas Purfoote'' (Arber, i. 332).

Collier, Stationers' Registers, i. 155, suggested that this was a 'lottery, or game', not an interlude, and this receives support from a transfer of his father's copies to Purfoot's son on 6 Nov. 1615 (Arber, iii. 576), which includes 'The little booke of Fortune with pictures'.

George Scanderbeg. S. R. 1601, July 3. 'The true historye of George Scanderbarge as yt was lately playd by the right honorable the Earle of Oxenforde his servantes.' E. Allde (Arber, iii. 187).

There seems no adequate reason for ascribing this to Marlowe (q.v.) or Nashe.

Give a Man Luck and Throw him into the Sea. S. R. 1600, July 24. 'Two plaies or thinges the other gyve a man luck and throw him into the sea.' Oliffe (Arber, iii. 168).

Godfrey of Bulloigne. See Heywood, Four Prentices of London.

God Speed the Plough. S. R. 1601, March 1. 'A booke called God spede the ploughe.' Harrison (Arber, iii. 180).

This is not necessarily the play acted by Sussex's men for Henslowe in Dec. 1593 (ch. xiii), or indeed a play at all.

Guise. Entered in Rogers and Ley's list as by Marston (q.v.), in Archer's as a comedy by Webster (q.v.), and in Kirkman's of 1661 and 1671 without ascription; that of 1671 calls it a tragedy.

Gustavus, King of Swethland. Ascribed to Dekker (q.v.).
