ROBERT BARON, Efq;
This Gentleman ftudied in St. John's College, Cam-
Bridge, and afterwards became a Member of Gray'^s-
Imi ; but was more addlded to Poetry than Law.
Sir Phillip Sidney, whom we have already mention-
ed, having left his Con7itefs of Pembroke'' s Arcadia un-
finiftiedj Mr. 5^ro« added a fixth Part, which com-
pleated the Work, and eftablifhed his Reputation
more than all his other Productions. He wrote this
6th Book, and republilhed the Arcadia in 1633.
In his Cyprian Academy, a Paftoral Romance, which
he publifhed at feventeen Years of Age, we find three
Dramatic Pieces.
I. Gripus <st?7i Hegio, or the PaJJlonate Lonjers ;
a Paftoral, aded by the Lady Julia's Servants, for the
Entertainment of Flaminius.
II. Deorum Dojia, a Mafque, prefented before Fla-
minius and Clorinda, King and Queen of Cyprus, at
their Regal Palace of Nicojia. Flaminius and Clorinda
are two Characters which the Author drew for King
Charles I. and his Queen.
III. MiRZA, a Tragedy. This Play is founded
on the fame Story as Sir John Denhani% Sophy. We
cannot imagine, by its great Length and numerous
Notes, it vi'as ever intended for the Stage.
Mr. S. SHEPHEARD.
This Author was a Citizen of London, and during
the Prohibition of the Stage, wrote two Dramatic Pie-
ces, called
I. The Committee-Man Curried, a Comedie, 1647.
II. The Cgmmittes-Mun Currisd, Fart the lid. 1647.
