Note 1192 — Robert Greene THE HONORABLE HISTORIE OF FRIER BACON

Note the frequent calls for "revenge"; and cf. the "Hamlet, revenge!" a cant phrase in 1588-89. Grosart gives reason for believing that the Menaphon first appeared before July, 1588 (Greene, I. 104). In the Epistle prefixed to it, Nashe ridiculed the Hamlet.
