The Lives and Characters of the English Dramatick Poets/John Cook
THIS Author has but one Play in Print, called,
Green's Tu Quoque, a Comedy, 4to. Publish'd with a Preface by Tho. Heywood, who says in his Epistle,[1] That it past the Stage with general Applause, and that the Title had its Name in regard that excellent Commedian, Thomas Green, Acted the chief Part in it, whose general Repartee to all Complements was, Tu Quoque; and gives him this Character, That there was not an Actor of his Nature in his time, of better Ability in Performance of what he undertook, more applauded by the Audience, of greater Grace at the Court, or of more general Love in the City. The Printed Copy is not divided into Acts, but has since King Charles the Second's Restauration, been Revived and Acted with good Applause.
