_ 523 Cf._ _Shakspere’s England_, Vol. I., ix., “Scholarship,” by Sir J. E. Sandys. 524 It may be noted that the end of _The Knight of Malta_ is modelled on the last scene of the _Alcestis_. The play has been attributed in part to Massinger, but the fact cited, though interesting, does not prove acquaintance either on the part of Fletcher or Massinger with Greek at first hand. 525 III., 1., 92-106. 526 IV., 2. 527 IV., 3. 528 II., 5. 529 I have not succeeded in finding the passage referred to. 530 I., 1, 47. (Chreocopia, in I., 1, 54, may be scanned with the accent on the penultimate.) 531 I., 2, 21 and 29; III., 2, 110. Eudocia in _The Emperor of the East_ is more doubtful. _Cf._ IV., 5, 83; V., 1, 122; V., 2, 105; V., 3, 170. 532 Notice that in all these false quantities the stress is laid on the syllable which bears the Greek accent; that is to say, the words are scanned as a Byzantine Greek of the time would have pronounced them. _Cf._ in Marlowe’s _Tamburlaine_, Pt. II., IV., 4: “As in the theoria of the world.” A similar suggestion is anonymously made in _The Times Literary Supplement_, March 20th, 1919, for another line of Marlowe: “Our Pythagôras’ Metempsýchosis.” “Academy,” in _The Emperor of the East_, I., 1, 45, seems accented on the last syllable. _ 533 Cf._ p. 19, n. 2. 534 Boyle’s ascription is in each case printed first; M. signifies the portions of each play which he allots to Massinger. A. H. B. = Mr. Bullen, A. H. C. = the writer. Macaulay’s views will be found in _The Cambridge History of English Literature_, vol. vi., Appendix to Chapter V. _ 535 R. E. C._, p. lxxxii. _ 536 R. E. C._, pp. lxxxiii-lxxxiv. 537 In particular G. Hill’s poem deserves attention.
