Excerpt: ...they should swim a league to shore with their swords erect in the air, though swords no doubt they must have if they are to behave as Fletcher's gentlemen behave. It is improbable that Rutilio in his flight (Act II., 4) should take refuge in a palace and find himself in the bedroom of the lady of the house. Difficulties of this kind are familiar enough in Fletcher. It need scarcely be said that Sulpicia and her establishment are due to Fletcher alone. To sum up, if Massinger had any share in this play, he may have given hints or added touches in connexion with Hippolyta and Duarte. The simplest supposition is that he edited the play for a revival. The Prologue and Epilogue "at a revival" contain expressions which remind us of him. The Prologue ends thus (lines 18-20): You may allow (Your candour safe) what's taught in the old schools, " All such as lived before you were not fools. " The parenthesis is in Massinger's manner. Again, in the second Epilogue, line 7, we find "qualification," with which compare "fortification" in A New Way, I., 2, 25. 10. The Elder Brother. (Fletcher (?), Beaumont; probably revised generally by Massinger.) M.: Act I., 1, 2; Act V., 1, 2. A. H. B. thinks that Massinger revised and completed it after Fletcher's death, but says nothing about Beaumont. A. H. C.: There are traces of Massinger in Act I., 1 and Act V., 1, in which scenes we find careful metre and a good many parentheses. While Act I., 2 resembles Massinger, it seems to me to have a lighter touch than his. In Act V., 1 we find a speech or two very much in his manner, and characteristic also is the skill with which an ambiguity is prolonged for some time in this scene, and then dissipated. I doubt if he wrote Act V., 2. pg 155 11. The Sea Voyage. (Massinger, Fletcher.) M.: Act II., 1, 2; Act III., 1, from "Enter Rosellia"; Act V., 1, 2, 3, 4. A. H. B. says nothing about Massinger here. Macaulay doubts if he had any share in the play. A. H. C.: ...
