Except the odd Quakers’ Madrigall of “Wickham Wakened” (on p. 120; our p. 188), which is not improbably by Joe Haynes, we believe the whole of the other five new songs of 1674 came from one work. We are unable at once to state the name and author of the drama in which they occur. The five are given (severely mutilated, in two instances) in _Wit at a Venture; or, ~Clio’s~ Privy-Garden_, of the same date, 1674. Here, also, they form a group, pp. 33-42; with a few others that probably belong to the same play, viz., “Too weak are human eyes to pry;” “Oh that I ne’er had known the power of Love;” “Must I be silent? no, and yet forbear;” “Cease, wandering thought, and let her brain” (this is Shirley’s, in the “Triumph of Beauty,” 1645); “How the vain world ambitiously aspires;” “Heaven guard my fair _Dorinda_:” and, perhaps, “Rise, golden Fame, and give thy name or birth.” Titles are added to most of these. Page 179. _So wretched are the sick of Love_, is, on p. 37 of _Wit at a Venture_, entitled Distempered Love. The third verse is omitted. Page 181. _To Arms! To Arms! &c._, on p. 39, entitled The Souldier’s Song; 13th line reads “Where _we_ must try.” Page 182. _Beauty that it self can kill_, on p. 35; reading, in 20th line, “When the fame and virtue falls || Careless courage,” &c. Page 183. _The young, the fair, &c._, on p. 33, is entitled _The Murdered Enemy_; reading _Clarissa_ for _Camilla_; and giving lines 17th and 19th, “Her beauties” and “Fierce Lions,” &c. Line 23rd is “And not to check it in the least.” Page 184. _How frailty makes us to our wrong._ Called A Moral Song in _Wit at a Venture_, p. 41, which rightly reads “grovel,” not “gravel,” in line 6; but omits third verse, and all the Chorus. Page 188. _The Quaker and his Brats._ We have not seen this elsewhere. Attributed to “the famous actor, JOSEPH HAINES,” or “Joe Haynes,” _Who, while alive, in playing took great pains,_ _Performing all his acts with curious art,_ _Till Death appear’d, and smote him with his dart._ His portrait, as when riding on a Jack-ass, in 1697, is extant. He died 4th April, 1701, and was mourned by the Smithfield muses. § 2.—ADDITIONAL NOTES To the 1671-72 Editions of WESTMINSTER-DROLLERY.
