Excerpt from Dido, Queen of Carthage: A Tragedy

The pamphlet before quoted asserts that Nash, whilst at College, had assisted in writing'a show called Terminus et non Terminus, for which, the person who had been con cerned with him was expelled; and that Nash himself was, at that time in prison for having written a play cal led The Isle of Dogs; neither of which facts, consider ing the freedom and severity of his satire, are improbable.

Excerpt from Dido, Queen of Carthage: A Tragedy

Thomas Nash was born at the small sea-port town of Leostoff, in Suffolk, probably about the year 1564. He was, as he himself informs us, descended from a family who were seated in Hertfordshire. He became a student of St. John's College, Cambridge, and took his Batchelor's degree in 15S5. We have assigned his birth to the year 1564, partly on the authority of a pamphlet, published in 1597, entitled The trimming of Thomas Nath, Gentle-man, by the high tituled Patron Don Richardo de Medico Campo, Barber Chirurgeon to Trinity College, in. Cambridge. This production states that he left College at seven years' standing, and before he had taken his Master's degree, about the year 1587; a statement, on the accuracy of which we may probably rely, with respect to such a fact as this, although proceeding from the pen of an adversary. Assuming, therefore, that Nash went to College at the age of sixteen, (about the usual time,) his birth would, according to this authority, have been in the year above mentioned. From Cambridge, he proceeded to London.
