The Lives and Characters of the English Dramatick Poets/Henry Killigrew

K

A Person of eminent Wit in K. Charles the First's Time, he writ a Play at Seventeen Years of Age, call'd first,

The Conspiracy, a Tragedy, 4to. 1638. Afterwards alter'd, under the Name of Pallantus and Eudora, a Tragedy, Fol. 1653. This Play was first Acted at the Black Fryars, with Applause, and the first Impression Printed without the Author's Consent, whilst beyond Sea, which occasion'd afterwards a new Impression with a new Title. At the first Acting of the aforegoing Play, it met with some few Cavillers against some part thereof; but that was soon over, when Ben. Johnson, and the Lord Viscount Falkland gave it another Encomium.
