Composed by gentlemen of the Inner Temple, and presented by them before the Queen in 1568. Published in 1591 "newly revised and polished according to the decorum of these daies" by Robert Wilmot. From the initials he gives at the end of each act, it appears that act II was by Henry Noel, act IV by Christopher Hatton, and act V by Wilmot; the authors of act I (Rod. Staf.) and act III (G. Al.) have not yet been identified. cf. Cambridge hist. of Eng. lit., v. 5, p. 81-86, and Dict. nat. biog.
