The volume throughout bears strong evidence of the influence of SHAKESPEARE, and the phraseology is frequently borrowed to the letter.

The Heavens court thee, Princely Oberon
And Mab his Empresse both expect thee yon,
They wait to see then, sport the time away,

And on green beds of resnets, as they meet,

Quaffe off the dew, lest it should wet thy feet (p. 47).

Allusion to SHAKESPEARE'S Fairy King and Queen.

If Owen Tudor prais'd his Madams hue
Cause in her cheeks the rose and lilie grew,
Thourt more praise-worthy then was Katherine,
There's fresher York and Lancaster in thine:

Had thy sweet features with thy beauty met
In Wiliam de-la-pool's faire Margaret,
The Peers surpriz'd had never given consent,
For the Exchange of Mauns, Anjou, and Main
l'have giv'n a kingdom for thee had been gain.

(p. 71).

An allusion to SHAKESPEARE Henry VI. plays.

Dramatis Personæ (1 p.).

See the Shakespeare Allusion Book, vol. 2, pp. 33-4 for long Shakespearean extracts from this piece.

The conversation between Valentia and Prospero recalls that between Romeo and Juliet, Act II., s. II. The scene with the Clown and Mantua as to a "Guerdon " and "banish " seems founded on Costard's " remuneration" in Love's Labour Lost.
