Day seems to have had assistance from Chettle on the writing of this play, and it was acted in 1600 probably by Prince Henry's men. 66 The play contains an interesting SHAKESPEARE allusion. In Act 4, Scene 1, Strowd says 66 Tulley's Offices say that the capital that Cæsar was stabbed in was Rome." Canbee answers, Impute the gross mistake to the fault of the author."
