His Comedies, in number twenty two, are these; The Ball, the Bird in a Cage, the Brothers, Love in
A Maze, the Constant Maid, Coronation, Court Se∣cret, the Example, the Gamester; Grateful Servant, Hide-Park, Humorous Courtier, Honoria and Mam∣mon, Opportunity, the Lady of Pleasure, the Politi∣tian, the Royal Master, the School of Complements, the Sisters, the witty fair one, the Wedding, and the young Admiral: His Tragedies six, viz. Chabet Ad∣miral of France, the Cardinal, Loves Cruelty, the Maids Revenge, the Traytor, and the martyr'd Sol∣dier. Four Tragi-Comedies, viz. Dukes Mistress, the Doubtful Heir, the Gentleman of Venice, and the Imposture, four Masques, Cupid and Death, Conten∣tion of Honour and Riches, the Triumph of Peace, and the Triumph of Beauty; Patrick for Ireland, a Histo∣ry; and the Arcadia, a Pastoral.
