17. The Spanish Gypsies, a Comedy, acted with applause, both at the private house in Drury Lane, and Salisbury Court, 1660; in this Play he was assisted by Mr. Rowley. Part of it is borrowed from a Spanish Novel called the Force of Blood, written originally by Cervantes. 18. The Mayor of Queenborough, a Comedy, acted by his Majesty's servants, 1661. For the plot see the Reign of Vartigas, by Stow and Speed. 19. Any Thing for a Quiet Life, acted at the Globe on the Bank Side. This is a game between the Church of England, and that of Rome, wherein the former gains the victory. 20. Michaelmas Term, a Comedy; it is uncertain whether this play was ever acted. 21. A Mad World, my Masters, a Comedy, often acted at a private house in Salisbury Court with applause. [Footnote 1: Langbaine's Lives of the Poets, p. 370.] * * * * * End of the First VOLUME.
