I have already implied that _Narcissus_ belongs to the class of University plays, inasmuch as it was acted at S. John's College, Oxford, on Twelfth Night, 1602. It does not, however, approximate in any way to the classical form of comedy; it is rather to be regarded as a Christmas piece, an imitation of the Yule-tide mummeries acted by disguised villagers or townsfolk at the houses of such wealthier persons as would afford them hospitality. The following list of Oxford plays--compiled, with additions, from W. L. Courtney's article in _Notes and Queries_ for December 11th, 1886, and W. Carew Hazlitt's _Manual of English Plays_--may be of interest, as showing the frequency of dramatic entertainments at the various colleges between 1547 and the Restoration. The dates appended are in most cases those of presentation; but when these are either unknown, or impossible to distinguish from dates of entry at Stationers' Hall, I have substituted the latter. 1547. _Archipropheta_, sive _Joannes Baptista_, by Nicholas Grimald, in Ch.
