Note 395 — ACT V.
Reading edition
The allusion is to Daniel’s Complaint of Rosamond, 1592, and to Michael Drayton’s Complaint of Gaveston, 1593. I cannot discover any abuse of Daniel or Drayton in Hall’s Satires. I have elsewhere suggested (Marlowe, iii. 243) that Marston is here glancing at Sir John Davies’ forty-fifth epigram, in which a conceit from Daniel’s Rosamond is ridiculed.
