Excerpt from Five Old Plays: Forming a Supplement to the Collections of Dodsley and Others Is Warman, once the steward of his house, Who, J udas-like, betrays his liberal lord, Into the hands of that relentless Prior, Called Gilbert Hood, uncle to Huntington. Those two, that seek to part these lovely friends, Are Elinor the Queen, and John the Prince She loves Earl Robert, he Maid Marian; But vainly, for their dear affect is such, As only death can sunder their true loves. Long had they lov'd, and now it is agreed, This day they must be troth-plight, after wed. At Huntington's fair house a feast is held But envy turns it to a house of tears For those false guests, conspiring with the Prior, To whom Earl Robert greatly is in debt, Mean at the banquet to betray the Earl, Unto a heavy writ of outlawry.
