Excerpt from Shakespeare's Tragedy of Cymbeline: With Introduction, and Notes Explanatory and Critical

The tragedy OF cymbeline, as it is called in the origi nal copy, belongs, both by internal and external marks, to the last ten years Of the Poet's 1ife, - the same period which produced of/zez/o, Coriolanus, Aniany and Cleopatra, Tfie T empesz', and T be Tale. The only contempo rary notice we have of it is from the Diary of Dr. Simon F orman, who gives with considerable detail the leading inci dents of the play as he saw it performed somewhere between April, 1610, and May, 1611. It may be well to add that Cymédz'ne, as we learn by an entry of Sir Henry Herbert, Master of the Revels, was acted at Court in January, 1633, and was well liked by the King which is to me an inter esting fact in reference to that ill-starred Prince, Charles the First, who, whatever may be thought of him as a statesman and ruler, was undoubtedly a man Of royal tastes in litera ture and art.
