We are not limited, however, to the material afforded by the _Maske_ in our attempt to discover Beaumont's metrical characteristics when writing alone. _The Woman-Hater_, included among the plays of Beaumont and Fletcher in the folio of 1679, and ascribed to both on the title-page of a quarto of 1649, is assigned by the Prologue of the first quarto, 1607, to a single author--"he that made this play." And, though there is no attribution of authorship on the title-page of the 1607 quarto, we know from the application of verse-tests and tests of diction that, in all but three scenes which have evidently been revised,[151] the author was certainly not Fletcher. An examination of the inner structure of the verse of _The Woman-Hater_, reveals, except in those scenes, precisely the peculiarities that distinguish Beaumont's _Maske_: the same infrequency of stress-syllable openings, and of anapaestic substitutions and of suppressed syllables in metrical scheme. In respect of the more evident device of the run-on line _The Woman-Hater_ reaches a percentage twice as high as that employed in Fletcher's unassisted popular dramas; and in respect of the double ending it has a percentage only one-quarter as high. We notice also in this play a much more frequent employment of rhyme than in any of Fletcher's stage plays, and a much larger proportion of prose both for dialogue and soliloquy. We should have further basis for conclusion concerning Beaumont's metrical style in independent composition, if we could accept the general assumption that he was the author of the _Induction_ to the _Foure Playes in One_, and of the first two plays, _The Triumph of Honour_ and _The Triumph of Love_. But for reasons, later to be stated, I agree with Oliphant that the _Induction_ and _Honour_ are not by Beaumont; and I hold that he can not be traced with certainty even in the two or three scenes of _Love_ that seem to be marked by some of his characteristics. The hand of a third writer, Field, is manifest in the non-Fletcherian plays of the series.
