Note 1216 — Robert Greene THE HONORABLE HISTORIE OF FRIER BACON
Reading edition
Besides the frequent identity of tone, note such coincidences as James IV. l. 2669, 'aldertruest,' M. G. (Descript. of Sheph. and Wife), 'alderliefest,' an archaism found nowhere else in Greene,—but in the Folio of 2 Henry VI. l. 28 (prob. by Greene, Fleay, Shakespeare, p. 269). The sentiment of Philador's Scrowle and Ode in M. G. is a variant of the Ovidian precept of James IV. l. 1108.
