Note 577 — BOOK V PLAYS AND PLAYWRIGHTS
Reading edition
In Nice Wanton a prayer for a king has been altered by sacrificing a rhyme into one for a queen. The prayer of Impatient Poverty seems also to have been for Mary and clumsily adapted for Elizabeth. Wager’s Enough is as Good as a Feast may be Elizabethan or pre-Elizabethan. Jacob and Esau (1568), entered in 1557–8, is pre-Elizabethan.
