146 The Maid's Tragedy, 8vo. 1690. This was a Play of Fletcher's and is reviv'd with great Alterations by this our Author, and printed with his works.

Pompey the Great, a Tragedy, 4to. 1664. acted by his Highness the Duke of York's Servants. Translated from Corneille, in which the Right Honourable, the Earl of Dorset and Middlesex assisted.

N Author who has writ one Play, call'd,

Tide tarrieth for no Man, a Comedy, 4to. 1611. printed so long since, that Mr. Langbain could not find what Volume or Date it was of. It is stiled, A most pleasant and merry Comedy, right pithy and full of Delight.

E has a Play so long since printed, that Mr. Langbain could never gain a Sight of it. The Title is,

The longer thou Liv'st the more Fool thou art, a Comedy, 4to. but so old that it has no Date. It has also this Title, A very merry and pithy Comedy, &c.

N Author as unknown as the two former: he publish'd but one Play, which Mr. Langbain says he never saw, entituled,

Lusty Juventus, an Interlude, 4to. printed without any Date. Tho' Mr. Langbain attributes this Play to R. Waver, yet his Name is not to the Title Page, nor any where about the Play, to give him that Assurance; but I suppose he depended on former Catalogues.

His Author was Clerk of St. Andrew's Parish in Holbourn, as he was Contemporary with Decker, Marston, and Rowley; so he join'd with 'em in several Plays, besides several he writ himself; as,

Appius and Virginia, a Tragedy, 4to. 1659. acted at the Duke's Theatre. There are more Editions than one of this Play, and has been reviv'd and alter'd by Mr. Betterton. For the Plot see ''Livii Hist. Florus, &c.'' The
