 | | Heywood is mentioned by Philip Henslowe as having written a book or play for the Lord Admiral's company of actors in October 1596; and by 1598 he was regularly engaged as a player in the company, in which he presumably had a share, as no wages are mentioned. |
 | | Heywood wrote for the stage, and protested against the printing of his works, which he said he had no time to revise. |
 | | Loves Maistresse; Or, The Queens Masque (printed 1636) is on the story of Cupid and Psyche as told by Apuleius; and the tragedy of the Rape of Lucrece (1608) is varied by a "merry lord," Valerius, who lightens the gloom of the situation by singing comic songs. |
