[Footnote 35: Col. Henry Howard, son of Thomas, Earl of Berkshire, made a play called the "United Kingdoms," which began with a funeral; and had also two kings in it. This gave the duke a just occasion to set up two kings in Brentford, as it is generally believed; tho' others are of opinion, that his grace had our two brothers, King Charles and the Duke of York, in his thoughts. It was acted at the Cockpit, in Drury Lane, soon after the Restoration; but miscarrying on the stage, the author had the modesty not to print it; and therefore, the reader cannot reasonably expect any particular passages of it. Others say, that they are Boabdelin and Abdalla, the two contending kings of Granada; and Mr. Dryden has, in most of his serious plays, two contending kings of the same place.] [Footnote 36: "Conquest of Granada," in two parts.] [Footnote 37: "On seas I bore thee, and on seas I died, I died: and for a winding-sheet, a wave I had; and all the ocean for my grave." "Conquest of Granada," part ii. p. 113. ] [Footnote 38: Almanzor in the "Conquest of Granada."] [Footnote 39: In ridicule of this:-- "My earthly part, Which is my tyrant's right, death will remove; I'll come all soul and spirit to your love. With silent steps I'll follow you all day; Or else before you in the sunbeams play. I'll lead you hence to melancholy groves, And there repeat the scenes of our past loves; At night, I will within your curtains peep, With empty arms embrace you, while you sleep. In gentle dreams I often will be by, And sweep along before your closing eye. All dangers from your bed I will remove; But guard it most from any future love. And when at last in pity you will die, I'll watch your birth of immortality: Then, turtle like, I'll to my mate repair, And teach you your first flight in open air."--"Tyrannic Love," p. 25. ] [Footnote 40: See the scene in the "Villain." Where the host furnishes his guests with a collation out of his clothes; a capon from his helmet, a tansey out of the lining of his cap, cream out of his scabbard, &c.] [Footnote 41: In ridicule of this:-- "_Almah._ Who dares to interrupt my private walk? _Alman._ He who dares love, and for that love must die; And, knowing this, dares yet love on, am I." "Granada," part ii. pp. 114, 115. ] [Footnote 42: It was at first, "dares die."--_Ibid._] [Footnote 43: "_Alman._ I would not now, if thou wouldst beg me, stay; But I will take my Almahide away."--"Conquest of Granada," p. 32. ] [Footnote 44: In ridicule of this:-- "_Alman._ Thou dar'st not marry her, while I'm in sight; With a bent brow, thy priest and thee I'll fright: And, in that scene, which all thy hopes and wishes should content, The thoughts of me shall make thee impotent."--_Ibid._ p. 5. ] [Footnote 45:
