[387] The foundations of the English Drama were laid deep in _tragedy_

by Marlow, and others--Marlow especially--while our _comedy_ was yet

sweet Comedies, and Shakspeare’s), Heywood seems to refer with regret;

as in the “Rosscian Strain” he evidently alludes to Alleyn, who was

great in the “Jew of Malta,” as Heywood elsewhere testifies, and in

the principal tragic parts both of Marlow and Shakspeare.
