Postscript.

I Would not be so ungrateful to the memor of the Dead, as not to acknowledge, that m fellow Student had some hand with me in th beginning of this Tragedy; but, dying 〈◊〉〈◊〉 Moneths before the finishing of the Play, 〈◊〉〈◊〉 did not live to see two Acts compleat: nor ar there sixty lines of his remaining; which litt•••• concern has in the thoughts of some given hi a Title to the whole. And 'tis the pleasure of others, to accuse me of stealing out of an 〈◊〉〈◊〉 obsolete Tragi-Comedy, called, Cambyses, Ki•••• of Persia; a Play which I had never heard 〈◊〉〈◊〉 till this had been Acted: but however, tho•••• that have seen that may find that I might have borrow'd better language from Sternhold and Hopkins.
