In 1638 "Love's Riddle" and a Latin comedy, the "Naufragium Joculare", were printed, and in 1641 the passage of Prince Charles through Cambridge gave occasion to the production of another dramatic work, "The Guardian", which was acted before the royal visitor with much success. During the civil war this play was privately performed at Dublin, but it was not printed till 1650. It is bright and amusing, in the style common to the "sons" of Ben Jonson, the university wits who wrote more for the closet than the public stage.
