Lady and Beaugard killing,
and her behaviour on that
occafion, is borrowed from
the ftory of Millamant', or,
The R amp a nt La dy ; i n S c a r -
ron's Cornea, Rbmante. The
character of Bloody Bones
is much like thac of Bravo in
The Antiquary, and Cour-
tine's conduct under Silvia's
balcony has a great re-
femblance to Moniieur Tho-
mas's carriage to his mif-
trefs in Fletcher's comedy
of that name. There is a
fequel to this play, which is
called The Atheifi ; or the
fecond part of The Soldier's
Fortune, 4to. 1 664. The
plot of which, fo far as re-
lates to the amours of Beau-
gard and Portia, is founded
on Scarron's novel of The
InvifibleMiftrefs. .Boththefe
plays have wit, and a great
deal of bufy and intricate
intrigue, but are fo very
loofe in refpect to fentiment
and moral, that they are
now entirely iaid fide.

plaufe, efpecially from the
female and more tender part
Of the audience. The loves
of Sophonilba and MalinifTa
are delicately and affe&ing-

has greatly deviated from
the idea hiitory gives us

be drawn into this error by
