Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Dramatic Works and Poems of James Shirley, Vol. 3 of 6: Now First Collected; With Notes by William Gifford, Esq.; And Additional Notes, and Some Account of Shirley and His Writings; Containing, the Ball; The Young Admiral; The Gamester; The Example; The Opportunity; The Coronation The Ball.] This Comedy, which was licensed in November, 1632, and first printed in 1639, is the joint production of Chapman and Shirley; the largest portion of it seems to be from the pen of the former. Jonson's Puntarvolo, in Every Man out of his Humour, probably furnished the hint for Jack Fresh water, and his notable scheme of foreign travel. The title of the old quarto is, "The Ball, a Comedy, as it was presented by her Majesties Servants, at the private House in Drury Lane. Written by George Chapman and James Shirley." From some incidental notices which occur in our old dramas, it should seem that there really was, about this time, a party of ladies and gentlemen who met, in private, at stated periods for the purpose of amusing themselves with masques, dances, &c. Scandalous reports of improper conduct at these assemblies were in circulation, and evidently called forth this comedy, the object of which is to repel them. The gilded or golden Ball, from which the piece takes its name, was probably worn as an ornament, and mark of authority, by the presiding beauty of the entertainment. We have here the first rude specimen of what are now termed Subscription Balls. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dramatic Works and Poems of James Shirley, Vol. 6 of 6: Now First Collected; Containing Honoria and Mammon, Chabot, Admiral of France, the Arcadia, the Triumph of Peace, a Contention for Honour and Riches, the Triumph of Beauty, Cupid and Death, the Contention of Ajax and Ulysses, &C., Poems A small part of this subject many years since had dropped from my pen; but looking, at some opportunities, upon the arguments, I thought some things more considerable might be deducted; and applying myself further, at times of recess, I felt it grow and multiply under my imagination: nor left I it then, (the matter being so pregnant in itself, ) till I formed it into such limbs and proportions as you now see it. Modesty, after this, invited me to cover it, and to cut off many impertinences, and purge some humour, that sate, I confess, unhandsomely upon it. What is now presented, I hope, will appear a genuine and unforced moral, which, though dressed in dramatic ornament, may not displease, in the reading, persons of ingenuity, such whose nature is not to create prejudice where they intend a recreation; and in the confidence of that, I do not repent the superstructures I have made, my pains, nor expenses that have attended to bring it to this. It is now public, to satisfy the importunity of friends: I will only add, it is like to be the last, for in my resolve, nothing of this nature shall, after this, engage either my pen or invention. The reason why I make no particular dedication to any friend is, because I aim my general respect to all, whose favours and civilities have obliged me. At this none will be offended, where none hath the precedence: and to conclude with the most serious truth, I know not any that love me so little, whom the payment of my so mean addresses would satisfy as to clear me upon the account of his friendship.
