The Fall of Mortimer.] This fragment, the last draught of Jonson's quill, appears in the folio, 1640. It seems to have been overlooked at first, and is awkwardly shuffled in among the poetry at the end of the volume. The title page has this motto from Horace:
Et docuit magnumque loqui, nitique cothurno.
Hor. Art. Poetic.
and at the conclusion, we have "Left Unfinished;" a memorandum, that seems to confirm the conjecture hazarded on the Sad Shepherd, of which the abrupt termination is followed by no such notice.
