Act I. The First Scene is by Massinger, who almost always begins the joint plays. On page 210 we have—
Reading edition
When I should pass with glory to my rest.
Compare Virgin Martyr, V. 2. 319.
When thou shouldst pass with honour to thy rest.
On page 211,
And end that race You have so long run strongly, like a child,
is a repetition of the idea in Virgin Martyr. On page 212 "Grave Maurice"; here "Grave" is Count Maurice, who is also so called in Love's Cure, I. 2. Bobadilla's speech. (Love's Cure is by Massinger and another author, not Fletcher.)
Page 213.
The desire of glory Was the last frailty wise men ere put off.
This occurs again in A Very Woman, V. 4, line 10,—
Though the desire of fame be the last weakness Wise men put off.
Though the thought occurs in Tacitus and Simplicius, Milton seems to have adopted it, as he has done many other of his most striking passages from Massinger. It occurs also in at least one other play of Massinger's, but the passage has escaped me for the moment.
Same page:—
'Tis like yourself, Like Barnavelt, and in that all is spoken.
An expression which, with a slight change from "spoken" to "comprehended," occurs in almost every one of Massinger's plays.
