This play has generally been assigned to June 1669, partly on the basis of a suit--see $Hotson=, <i>Commonwealth and Restoration Stage</i>, pp. 252-53, 348-55-over a scene for it which $Isaac Fuller=, the scene designer, states was finished by 23 June 1669. The suit also states that the play ran for fourteen days, but it is not certain that the theatres played on consecutive days in the summer. The play has been assigned to 24 June 1669 on the basis of a letter from <i>Charles II</i> to $Princess Henriette-Anne=, dated 24 June [1669]: I am just now going to a new play that I heare very much commended ($Cyril Hughes Hartmann=, <i>Charles II and Madame</i> [<i>London</i>, 1934], p. 259). $Elizabeth Cottington= to $Herbert Aston=, ca.

I shall tremble for the poor woman exposed among the critticks (<i>Arthur Clifford, Tixall Letters</i> [London, 1815], II, 60).
