		Tate has been called the first modern librettist in English since he was the first to accept the secondary role in the creative process of writing an opera (like many librettists since, his contribution remains unnoticed by audiences).
		Tate and Brady are also credited with contributing to a more open approach to the music used for the psalms, encouraging subsequent composers, both during their lifetimes and since, to set the texts they provided.

		Part of Tate’s reason for doing this is not simply to accommodate the audience, but to create a text that is less sensitive to political issue of the time.
		Tate’s changes infers meaning on a text that is not truly his which, furthermore, go entirely against Shakespeare’s design.
		Nahum Tate’s version of Lear is no longer prevalent because, ironically, his attempts to concentrate meaning on a specific society have diminished the strength of his ideas over time.

	SHAKSPER 1999: Re: Nahum Tate's LEAR
		Tate's fiddling with the plot sounds outrageous, but he is truer to the historical sources than Shakespeare was.
		There is some poetic justice in Tate's returning the tale to the form of romance in which Shakespeare found it and from which he transformed it to tragedy.
		Many are hopelessly dated, but a few, like Tate's, are instructive examples of their era's stage practices and can hold their own in production.

		Tate would have been as aware as anyone that there were some prominent Tories who were still keeping alive the possible return of the Pretender, [16] and to that end maintained contacts with him and his representatives.
		Tate succeeds in disturbing the reader with the unexpected in this poem: it is an honourable political statement, an expression of dissatisfaction at the state of the nation, still parlous despite the heroic deeds of Marlborough's army.
		When Tate speaks of "Intrigues of State," "prodigious Secrets," and "Strife and Discord," it is not some generalised political condition he has in mind, but the permanent state of warfare that prevailed in Queen Anne's last ministry, which destroyed itself even as she lay dying.

	Excellent production of butchered King Lear
		While Shakespeare's verse is magnificent, Tate's is impoverished and serves as a mere plot summary.
		One possible excuse is that while Shakespeare's Lear is staged year-round world-round, Tate's Lear hasn't seen a stage for a hundred years: by staging the latter Lear, you provide a unique and interesting experience for the theater-going public.
		To highlight Tate's plot summary and keep the audience abreast of the action, director McDowell freezes all stage action and spotlights characters for their explanatory asides to the audience.

	While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks
		Such a presumption would be accurate, for the lyrics by Irish-born Nahum Tate (1652-1715), paraphrased from Luke 2:8-14, rate among the better carol texts in the English language.
		The Irish Protestant clergy Nahum Tate, 1652-1715, who based his words on St. Luke ii, 8-14, and Nicholas Brady, 1659-1726, were associated in producing the New Version of the Metrical Psalms (1696) known as ‘Tate and Brady’ which replaced the Old Version of 1556.
		This carol was published in 1696 by Nahum Tate, a distinguished Irish writer and poet who lived in England in the late 17th early 18th century (co-authored a metrical version of the Psalms and re-wrote Shakespeare's King Lear to give it a happy ending).

	King Lear
		Tate cut the Fool’s part, deeming it inappropriate to tragedy, and gave the play a ‘happy’ ending: in Tate’s Lear, Cordelia, Lear and Buckingham all survived.
		Tate was a shrewd manager and his romantic adaptation was more fitting to the theatrical tastes of the Restoration than Shakespeare’s original and was used throughout the eighteenth and early nineteenth century, completely obliterating Shakespeare’s text during that time.
		Tate’s text only really came into question when the actor-manager David Garrick (1717-79) staged his first production at Drury Lane in 1742, aged just 25.
