5 For a general discussion of the usurer plays, see A. B. Stonex, “The Usurer in Elizabethan Drama,” PMLA, xxxi, where Shakspere's, Marston's, and May's dramas are considered in connection with the usurer type.

11 This and the next parallel are noted by Hazlitt, who fails, however, to point out that the whole of the balcony scene is laid under contribution. The next one is also included in The Shakspere Allusion-Book, i, p. 469.

12 Hazlitt's note: “The whole passage seems to be imitated from one in Venus and Adonis.” The borrowing is, of course, greater; not only this passage, but the entire episode is a take-off on Shakspere's poem.
