Aphra Behn's The Young King is a scarce 1683 first edition of a play which was first performed in 1679, and according to ESTC is partly based on Gaultier de Coste's Cleopatre and Calderon's La Vida es Sueno. This copy contains two additional lines at the end of the prologue which are not present in the online version of the text provided by EEBO (though the final line is trimmed with partial loss of the text). The two lines read: 'Heaven bless the King but keeps the Land in peace / Or he'll be sweetly served by such as these'. Nahum Tate's The Ingratitude of a Common-Wealth is an adaptation of Shakespeare's Coriolanus, while Edward Ravenscroft's The Citizen Turn'd Gentleman is an adaptation of Moliere's Bourgeois Gentihomme and Monsieur de Pourceaugnac.The Injur'd Lovers is the first published play by the actor and dramatist William Mountfort (1664 – 10 December 1692), who was ambushed and murdered in Howard Street, Strand by the adventurer Captain Richard Hill, on the 9th December 1692. Captain Hill had perceived Mountfort to be his rival in love for Mrs. Anne Bracegirdle, an actress who first performed the role of Antelina in The Injur'd Lovers and had been annoyed by the captain's persistent attentions. Aided by the politician and rake Charles Mohun, 4th Baron Mohun, Mountfort was stabbed in the chest by Hill, and died of his wounds the following day. Following the attack Hill fled to France, while Lord Mohun was tried by his peers and (perhaps not surprisingly) acquitted by a vote of 69 to 14.
