29. In his MS. Commonplace Book (now in the possession of G. Thorn Drury, Esq., K.C.), Whitelocke Bulstrode writes:— ’27 May 92. ’Mr Hoyle of y’e Temple, coming this morning about two of ye Clock frõ ye Young Divel Tavern, was killed wth a sword; He died Instantly: It proceeded frõ a quarrell about Drincking a Health; Killed by Mr Pitt of Graies Inne yt Dranck wth them. Mr Hoyle was an Atheist, a Sodomite professed, a corrupter of youth, & a Blasphemer of Christ.’ The Young (or Little) Devil Tavern was in Fleet Street, on the south side, near Temple Bar, adjoining Dick’s Coffee House. It was called Young (or Little) to distinguish it from the more famous house, The Devil (or Old Devil) Tavern, which stood between Temple Bar and the Inner Temple Gate. 30. Betterton’s adaption of Marston’s _The Dutch Courtezan_, which the actor calls _The Revenge; or, A Match in Newgate_, has sometimes been erroneously ascribed to Mrs. Behn by careless writers. She has also been given _The Woman Turn’d Bully_, a capital comedy with some clever characterization, which was produced at Dorset Garden in June, 1675, and printed without author’s name the same year. Both Prologue and Epilogue, two pretty songs, _Oh, the little Delights that a Lover takes_; and _Ah, how charming is the shade_, together with a rollicking catch ‘O _London_, wicked _London_-Town!’ which is ‘to be sung _a l’yvronge_, in a drunken humour’, might all well be Mrs. Behn’s, and the whole conduct of the play is very like her early manner. Beyond this, however, there is no evidence to suggest it is from her pen. 31. The overture, act-tunes, incidental music, were composed by Henry Purcell. 32. _Familiar Letters of Love, Gallantry, etc._, Vol. I (1718), pp. 31-2. 33. _Ibrahim, the Thirteenth Emperor of the Turks_, produced in 1696 (410, 1696), a commendable tragedy by Mrs. Mary Pix, _née_ Griffiths (1666-1720?). The plot is based on Sir Paul Ricaut’s continuation of the Turkish history. 34. The date is fixed by the Epilogue ‘at his R.H. second exile into Flanders’. The Duke of York sailed for Antwerp 4 March, 1679. He returned in August owing to the King’s illness. 35. This fact sufficiently explodes the quite untenable suggestion that _The Young King_ in earlier days could find neither producer nor publisher. That the quarto did not appear until four years after the play had been seen on the stage is no argument of non-success. Ravenscroft’s _Mamamouchi_ was produced early in 1672, and ‘continu’d Acting 9 Days with a full house’. It specially delighted the King and Court. It was not printed, however, until 1675. 36. Gould in _The Play House, a Satyr_, stung by Mrs. Behn’s success, derides that
