_A King and No King_ evidently won favour at Court, for, as we have noticed, it was acted there both in 1611 and in 1612-1613. It was presented to their Majesties at Hampton Court in 1636. In 1661 Pepys saw it twice. Before 1682 Nell Gwynn had made Panthea one of her principal roles. In 1683 Betterton played Arbaces to Mrs. Barry's Panthea. It was revived again in 1705, 1724, and 1788. Davies in his _Dramatic Miscellany_ tells us that Garrick intended to revive it, taking the part of Arbaces himself and giving Bessus to Woodward, "but it was observed that at every reading of it in the green-room Garrick's pleasure suffered a visible diminution--at length he fairly gave up his design." Mr. Bond, in the _Variorum_ edition, mentions a German adaptation of 1785, called _Ethelwolf, oder der Koenig Kein Koenig_. FOOTNOTES: [214] Cited by Oldys (MS. note in Langbaine's _Account of Engl. Dram. Poets_, p. 208)--Dyce. [215] For this information I am indebted to my colleague, Professor Schevill. [216] I know but two sane accounts of this matter: A. S. W. Rosenbach's in _Mod. Lang. Notes_, 101, Column 362 (1898); and Wolfgang von Wurzbach's, in _Romanische Forschungen_, XX, pp. 514-536 (1907). [217] Oliphant, _Engl. Stud._, XV, 322. Macaulay, 'probably 1610.'

[234] The best editions of _Philaster_ since the time of Dyce are those of F. S. Boas, in the _Temple Dramatists_ (1898), P. A. Daniel, in the _Variorum_ (1904), Glover and Waller, in the _Camb. Engl. Classics_ (1905), and A. H. Thorndike in _Belles Lettres_ (1906).
