      JANE SHORE:

      A Tragedy,

      IN FIVE ACTS;

      BY NICHOLAS ROWE.

      CORRECTLY GIVEN,

      AS PERFORMED AT THE THEATRES ROYAL.

      With Remarks.

      London:

      Printed by D. S. Maurice, Fenchurch Street;

      SOLD BY

      T. HUGHES, 35, LUDGATE STREET, AND J. BYSH,

      52, PATERNOSTER ROW.

      REMARKS

      It has been observed, that Rowe seldom moves either pity or terror, but often elevates the sentiments; he seldom pierces the breast, but always delights the ear, and often improves the understanding. This excellent tragedy is always acted with great applause, and will, in one instance at least, prove the author's power to excite a powerful effect: consisting chiefly of domestic scenes and private distress, the play before us is an affecting appeal to pity, especially in the parting of Alicia and Hastings, the interview between Jane Shore and Alicia, and in the catastrophe. In the plot, Rowe has nearly followed the history of this misguided and unhappy fair one, and has produced an impressive moral lesson.

      DRAMATIS PERSONÆ.

      JANE SHORE.

      ACT THE FIRST.

      SCENE I. THE TOWER.

      Enter the Duke of Gloster, Sir Richard Ratcliffe, and Catesby.
