The sun's-darling: a moral masque: as it hath been often presented at Whitehall, by their Majesties servants; and after at the Cock-pit in Drury Lane, with great applause. /
Dekker, Thomas,approximately 1572-1632.
Ford, John,1586-approximately 1640.
London : Printed by J. Bell, for Andrew Penneycuicke,
anno Dom. 1656.
Generally believed to have been originally written by Dekker, perhaps his unpublished "Phaeton," and revised, with additions, by Ford, to whom the last two acts may be assigned. Cf. Camb. History of Eng. lit.; DNB.
