The part of Domitilla was taken by I. Hunniman; that of Paulina by Theo. Bourne; that of Corisca (in _The Picture_) by W. Trigge. It would appear, therefore, that these references are not all due to the stature of any one individual actor, but that Massinger took care to have actors of different height brought into juxtaposition in his plays. He may here be copying the well-known passages in _Midsummer Night’s Dream_ (III., 2, 288-298, 324, 329). _Cf._ also _Antony and Cleopatra_, II., 5, 118; III., 3, 13; _Much Ado_, I., 1, 172 and 216; _As You Like It_, I., 2, 284; _Twelfth Night_, I., 5, 219; II., 5, 16; _King Lear_, I., 1, 201. _Cf._ Bradley’s _Shakspearean Tragedy_, p. 317, n. 1. In Dekker’s _Honest Whore_, Pt. 2. III., 1, the heroine, Bellafront, is “a little tiny woman.” So are Pretiosa in Middleton’s _Spanish Gipsy_ (I., 5), and Isabella in _Women, beware Women_ (III., 2). _Cf._ also _The Case is Altered_ (III., 3), “’Fore God, the taller is a gallant lady.” We find the same idea in _The Fair Maid of the West_, II., 3; III., 1, 2. Celestina, in Shirley’s _Lady of Pleasure_ (III., 2), is “a puppet.” Spaconia in _A King and no King_ (III., 1) is “that little one”; Viola in _The Coxcomb_ (V., 3) is “not high.” _Cf._ also _The Prophetess_ (I., 3, 59), a play which bears many marks of Massinger’s work: DIOCLESIAN. Thou know’st she is a prophetess. MAXIMINIAN. A small one, And as small profit to be hoped for by her. _The Spanish Curate_ (V., 1, 37), Jamie to Violante: In stature you’re a giantess: and your tailor Takes measures of you with a Jacob’s staff Or he can never reach you: this by the way For your large size. _Love’s Cure_ (V., 3), Bobadillo to Lucio, speaking about Clara: I put the longest weapon in your sister’s hand, my lord, because she was the shortest lady. _The Sea Voyage_ (IV., 3): MORILLAT: “This little gentlewoman that was taken with us,” referring to Aminta. As Cleopatra in _The False One_ (II., 3) arrives in a parcel, she must have been small. Margarita in _Rule a Wife_ (III., 4) is “of a low stature.” Ismenia in _The Maid of the Mill_ “was of the lowest stature” (I., 2); _cf._ also V., 2, 7. Evanthe in _A Wife for a Month_, IV., 3 is “this little fort.” _Cf._ also _The Noble Gentleman_, IV., 3. APPENDIX II Did Massinger know Greek? It is perhaps worth while collecting the scanty evidence on the subject. We find a pun on the name Philanax in _The Emperor of the East_,(510) and Mathias plays on the name of his wife Sophia.(511) The phrase κατ᾽ ἐξοήν is used in _The Guardian_.(512) We find a Greek construction in _The Emperor of the East_:(513) And that before he gives he would consider The what, to whom, and wherefore. On the other hand, we notice Theseus scanned as a trisyllable.(514)
