Event Comment: The United Company. The date of the first performance is not known, but the fact that the play was licensed on 1 March 1685@6, suggests a performance in January, possibly as late as February 1686. Langbaine (English Dramatick Poets, 1691, p. 179): This Play was affronted in the Acting, by some who thought themselves Criticks, and others with Cat--calls, endeavour'd at once to stifle the Author's Profit, and Fame. Three songs, From drinking of sack by the bottle, Look down fair nymph and see, and There is one black and solemn hour, all with music composed by Samuel? Ackroyde, are in The Theater of Music, The Third Book, 1686

Event Comment: The United Company. The date of the first performance is not known, but the fact that the separately printed Prologue and Epilogue bear a licensing date of 17 March 1689@90 suggests a first performance near that date, as on many Previous occasions the separately-printed prologues and epilogues appeared almost simultaneously with the first performance. The Prologue and Epilogue are reprinted in Wiley, Rare Prologues and Epilogues, pp. 287-89. A song, I once had virtue, wealth, and fame, the music by R. King, is in The Banquet of Musick, The Fifth Book, 1691
