JOHN HEYWOOD, the Dranzatic Writer and
Epigrammatist.—This celebrated character lived
In the times of HENRY VIII., MAily, and ELt-
zARETH, and belonged to what is now called the
'-old school of wits. His disposition to wit and
.repartee, joined to his skill in music, •iecorn-

rnended him to HENRY, with whom he was a
jamurite ; and he was noticed during the two
succeeding reigns. -To Queen MARY his corn-
pally is said to have been agreeable, -for he was
'sprightly and hutnorous, as well as of a good life.
S‘As one
-of the early dramatic authors,. he is suffi-
ciently known ; he was also held in esteem as a
poet and epigramtnatiSt; and is said to have corn-
;Posed 500 epigrams; but the labours of his pen
are now nearly forgotten, •and of "the brillianey
of his wit few spechnens are preseued"....4g---
