Thus he dismiss'd me sighing. Forth we sail'd, At heart afflicted. And now wholly fail'd The minds my men sustain'd, so spent they were With toiling at their oars, and worse did bear Their growing labours; and they caused their grought By self-will'd follies; nor now ever thought To see their country more. Six nights and days We sail'd; the seventh we saw fair Lamos raise.

George Chapman's "The Revenge of Bussy D'Ambois" is a sequel to his earlier work, "Bussy D'Ambois," and was first published in 1613. The play is one of Chapman's dramas based on recent political and historical events in France. Specifically the play draws upon Edward Grimeston's "A General Inventory of the History of France" as a primary source and revolves around historical events that occurred in 1588, during the reign of Henri III. The drama concerns the story of Clermont D'Ambois whose brother Bussy has been gunned down in an ambush. Clermont becomes involved in a relationship with Tamyra, Bussy's former lover, who urges Clermont to take vengeance on her husband Montsurry, who is responsible for Bussy's murder. Since the events of the play of are more reported rather than enacted "The Revenge of Bussy D'Ambois" has not earned itself a significant stage history. Despite this fact the work stands as an important example of the Jacobean revenge tragedy.

George Chapman Books, George Chapman poetry book All Fools Authors: George Chapman
Publisher: Revels Plays
Published Date: 2018
Categories: England
Of all the poets Francis Meres names in his famous Palladis Tamia, Wits Treasury (1598), just two rate a mention as being both 'our best for tragedy' and 'the best poets for comedy': William Shakespeare and George Chapman. All Fools, written in 1599, is the only Elizabethan comedy based directly on the plays of Terence. By taking episodes and characters from two brilliant works, The Self-Tormenter and The Brothers, Chapman creates something that is distinctly Elizabethan while remaining faithful to the spirit of the great Roman master. In this edition, an extensive introduction and commentary show how Chapman combines the literary and theatrical traditions of ancient Rome with everyday life in his own time to fashion a sparkling and innovative comedy that will delight audiences today as much as it did those of 1599.

Categories: Drama
This collaborative masterpiece of hilarious city comedy was performed by the Children of the Revels at the Blackfriars playhouse in 1605. The story is of an allegorical simplicity that lends itself to satire of civic mores and traditions as well as to parody of the sentimental, idealising London comedy presented at the amphitheatres in the suburbs: Goldsmith Touchstone, an upright London citizen, has one modest and one ambitious daughter, one righteous and one disreputable apprentice; virtue is rewarded, ruthlessness comes to grief - and receives a drenching in the muddy Thames. The introduction to this edition discusses various methods of establishing authorship and highlights the irony of the collaborators' comic vision of contemporary London life.

Categories: Drama
This edition of George Chapman's tragedy differs from all other modern editions in being based primarily on the Quarto of 1607 in preference to the much revised Quarto of 1641. N.S. Brooke believes that the earlier text gives a more certain indication of Chapman's intentions and he has supported that view in his introduction, where he presents a bibliographical and critical study of the play. The divergences between the texts of 1607 and 1641 are set out clearly in this volume, which includes the usual textual and critical apparatus found in the Revels series.

Christopher "Kit" Marlowe (1564-1593) was an English dramatist, poet and translator of the Elizabethan era. His first drama was Dido, Queen of Carthage. His first play performed on the London stage was Tamburlaine about the conqueror Timur, who rises from shepherd to warrior. Tamburlaine was a success, and was followed with Tamburlaine Part II. The two parts were published in 1590; however all of Marlowe's other works were published posthumously. They include: The Jew of Malta, Edward the Second, The Massacre at Paris and The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus. George Chapman (c. 1559-1634) was an English dramatist, translator, and poet. He was a classical scholar, and his work shows the influence of Stoicism. Chapman has been identified as the Rival Poet of Shakespeare's Sonnets by William Minto, and as an anticipator of the Metaphysical Poets. Chapman is best remembered for his translations of Homer's Iliad, Odyssey, and Batrachomyomachia.

Edgar Albert Guest Poem
The Killing Place
 by Edgar Albert Guest

We're hiking along at a two-forty pace
We 're making life seem like a man-killing race,
With our nerves all on edge and our jaws firmly set
We go rushing along; with our brows lined with sweat
And our cheeks pale and drawn every minute we dash,
And the goal that we 're after is merely more cash.

We 're out for the money, the greenbacks and gold,
