play contains a good deal of low humour; and was approved by king
Charles the IId.

5. The Destruction of Jerusalem, by Titus Vespasian, in two parts, acted
1677; addressed to the duchess of Portsmouth. These Tragedies met with
extravagant applause, which excited the envy of lord Rochester so much,
that on this account he commenced an enemy to the bard he before had so
much befriended.

the theatre-royal 1679. This play had but indifferent success, though
esteemed by the author one of the best he ever wrote.

French; this play is written in heroic verse.

8. Henry the VIth, the first part, with the murther of Humphrey duke of
Gloucester; acted 1681, dedicated to Sir Charles Sedley. This play was
at first acted with applause; but at length, the Romish faction opposed

was borrowed from Shakespear's Henry the VIth.

Tragedy, acted 1680.
