They had been possessed, by his enemies,
with the belief that the occasion of the plague was the crowd-
ing of the country people
together
into the town, forced as they
were now, in the heat of the summer weather, to dwell many of
them together even as they could, in small tenements and sti-
fling hovels, and to be tied to a lazy course of life within doors,
whereas before they lived in a pure, open, and free air.

Now high and low, where leaves renew,
Come buds on bough and
spalliard
pleach And no beak nor throat is muted,
Auzel each in tune contrasted Letteth loose

Joy for them and spring would set
Song on me, but Love assaileth
Me and sets my words t' his dancing.

If we
may believe him to have worked on a chronicle such as those
embodied in Tempesti's Vita di Sisto V, or on a novel resembling
that of de Rosset, he has, manifestly, made far more sweeping
changes in his ‘source' than seems to be implied by those who
speak of his play as drawn from 'an Italian novel' He would,
in fact, have
breathed
a new spirit into the whole train of in-
cidents.
