Juvenal" and mentioned in _A Groatsworth of Wit._[18] The argument that the realistic passage beginning "The fair Triones with their glimmering light" could only have been written after Lodge's first maritime experience carries more weight, but cannot stand long as against counter evidence of any force whatever. Nor do we see any strength in the theory that this play is a product of Greene's era of repentance. As has been shown, Greene uses repentance as a didactic motive from the first. Considering this as a moralising play one may with better force place it in the earlier years of less complex dramatic inspiration. It is difficult to conceive that in 1589, when Greene was almost certainly engaged in writing _Friar Bacon and Friar Bungay_, he should have been willing to go back to the motive of the interludes. As the spirit of the play is earlier than Greene's mature work, so its associations are with the earlier rather than with the later work of Lodge. _An Alarum against Usurers_, the influence of which is often apparent, was published in 1584. In the years from 1589 to 1591 inclusive Lodge was engaged on another type of work, represented by _Scillæ's Metamorphosis, Rosalynde, The History of Robert, second Duke of Normandy_, and _Catharos_, certainly as far removed as possible from the moralising vein of _A Looking-Glass_. Two published expressions by Lodge lean rather to the earlier than the later date. In _Scillæ's Metamorphosis_ (1589) Lodge vows, "To write no more of that whence shame doth grow, [Nor] tie my pen to penny-knaves delight."
