[21] In _Every Man out of his Humour_, iii. 3, we have:-- "Whereas let him be poor and meanly clad, Though ne'er so richly _parted_," &c. [22] The words "He [_i.e._, Lampatho] breaks a jest" have the look of a stage-direction. [23] _The Insatiate Countesse. London, Printed by N. O. for Thomas Archer_, &c., 1616, 4to. [24] The full title is [_The_] _Insatiate Covntesse. A Tragedy: Acted, at White-Friers. Written, By William Barksteed. London, Printed for Hvgh Perrie, and are to be sold at his shop at the signe of the Harrow in Brittaines-Burse_. 1631. 4to. [25] Reprinted in Dr. Grosart's valuable _Occasional Issues_. [26] These plays are printed in the second volume of Simpson's _School of Shakspere_. I have not included them in this edition of Marston; they are of little value and are easily accessible. Marston's share in _Histriomastix_ was slight. [27] See Simpson's _School of Shakespere_, ii. 127. [28] Probably the Rev. John Marston, of St. Mary Magdalene, Canterbury, who published in 1642 _A Sermon preached ... before many ... Members of the House of Commons_. [29] In his _Shakespeare_ Collier states that the letter was written in 1605, and that it refers to the Gunpowder Plot; but in his _Bibliographical Account_, 1. xxiv*, correcting his former statement, he says that the letter was written in 1641, and that it concerns the arrest of the Five Members. [30] In some copies the author's name is not given, and the title-page runs, _Tragedies and Comedies collected into one volume, viz._ 1. _Antonio and Mellida._ 2. _Antonio's Revenge._ 3. _The Tragedie of Sophonisba._ 4. _What You Will._ 5. _The Fawne._ 6. _The Dutch Courtezan._ [31] Some verses, signed "Jo. Mar.," prefixed to Donne's _Poems_, 1633, have been ascribed to Marston; but, as the heading of the verses is "Hexasticon _Bibliopolæ_," and as the publisher or _bibliopola_ was Jo[hn] Mar[riott], Marston's claim can hardly be sustained. ADDENDA. Vol. i. page 13. "Blind Gew."--I have come upon a mention of this actor in the fifth satire of Edward Guilpin's _Skialetheia_, 1598:-- "But who's in yonder coach? my lord and fool, One that for ape-tricks can put _Gue_ to school." Guilpin's eleventh epigram is addressed "_To Gue_":-- "_Gue_, hang thyself for woe, since gentlemen Are now grown cunning in thy apishness," &c. Page 15, line 17. "_Heavy_ dryness."--I was wrong in accepting the reading of ed. 1633 in preference to the "_heathy_ dryness" of ed. 1602. _Heathy_ is a Marstonian word; and we find it in act iv. of _Jack Drum's Entertainment_:--
