Thomas PORTER, Esq
An Author that has writ in our Times two Plays, which are receiv'd with Candor, by all Judges of Wit; viz.
Carnival, a Comedy acted at the Theatre-Royal, by his Majesties Servants; printed 4o. Lond. 1664.
Villain, a Tragedy, which I have seen acted at the Duke's Theatre with great applause: the part of Malignii being incomparably play'd by Mr. Sandford.
What this Author may have writ besides, I know not; and am sorry I can give no better Account of One, whose Writings I love and admire.
