nd Clorinda, the second part, written at Florence 1651, and
dedicated to the lady Dorothy Sidney, countess of Sunderland.

5. Claracilla, a Tragi-comedy, printed in folio, London 1663; written at
Rome, and dedicated to his sister in-law lady Shannon; on this play and
another of the author's called the Prisoners, Mr. Cartwright has written
an ingenious copy of verses.

6. The Parson's Wedding, a Comedy, printed in folio, London 1663;
written at Basil in Switzerland. This play was revived at the old
Theatre, at little Lincoln's Inn-Fields, and acted all by women; a new
prologue and epilogue, being spoken by Mrs. Marshal in Man's cloaths,
which Mr. Langbain says is printed in the Covent-Garden Drollery.
This was a miscellaneous production of those times, which bore some
resemblance to our Magazines; but which in all probability is now out of
print.

7. The Pilgrim, a Tragedy, printed in folio, London 1663; written in
Paris in the year 1651, and dedicated to the countess of Carnarvon.

8. The Princess, or Love at first Sight, a Tragi-Comedy, printed in
folio, London 1663; written at Naples, and dedicated to his niece, the
lady Anne Wentworth, wife to lord Lovelace.

9. The Prisoners, a Tragi-Comedy, printed in folio; London 1663; written
at London and dedicated to the lady Crompton.

Lopus, but even the very words are repeated from Johnson's Fox, where
Volpone personates Scoto of Mantua. I don't believe that our author
designed to conceal his assistance, since he was so just as to
acknowledge a song against jealousy, which he borrowed from Mr. Thomas
Carew, cup-bearer to king Charles the Ist, and sung in a masque at
Whitehall, anno 1633. This Chorus, says he, 'I presume to make use of
here, because in the first design it was written at my request, upon
a dispute held between Mrs. Cicilia Crofer and myself, when he was
present; she being then maid of honour. This I have set down, lest any
man should imagine me so foolish as to steal such a poem, from so famous
