Of the final Scene, V, iii, little need be said. It brings before us again a court-room, with another trial, and continues the manner of its predecessor, I, ii, as only Massinger can. His customary formulae, _stand bound_, _play the parasite_, etc., are here; characteristic too are his opposition of _wanton heat_ and _lawful fires_ (ll. 141-2--cf. C-G. 37 b; D. V. 476), while further material for comparison may be found in ll. 95-6 with _Respect_, _wealth_, _favour_, _the whole world for a dower_ of _The Virgin Martyr_ (C-G. 6 b), and in ll. 165-7: Char. _You must find other proofs to strengthen these But mere presumptions._ Du Croy _Or we shall hardly Allow your innocence._ with C-G. 39 a and b: _You must produce Reasons of more validity and weight To plead in your defence, or we shall hardly Conclude you innocent._ The last passage cited for comparison also exhibits another feature normal to the work of this dramatist: the splitting of an observation, frequently a single sentence, between two speakers; so ll. 38-9, and again, l. 59. The Scene and play are rounded off with the pointing of a moral, so indispensable to Massinger’s satisfaction. To sum up, therefore, disregarding for practical purposes the slight touches of Field in I, ii, ll. 146-_end_; III, i, ll. 317-343; V, ii, ll. 80-_end_; and perhaps in V, i;--and the apparent Massinger touches in IV, i, and possibly at one or two other points in the Field Scenes, we may divide the play as follows: MASSINGER: I; III, ll. 1-343; IV, ii, iii, iv; V. FIELD: II; III, ll. 344-_end_; IV, i. A metrical analysis of the play is appended in tabular form, in which I have computed separately the figures for each portion of any Scene on which there has been a question. It will be noted that the single simple test of the mid-line speech-ending would, with but two exceptions--one (III, i, c) doubtful, and the other (V, ii, b) too short a passage to afford a fair test--have made a clean-cut and correct determination of authorship in every case.
