Greetings! I recently had the opportunity to meet Prof. Alan Nelson who has done quite a bit of work for REED. One of our conversations involved a performance, or burlesque, given for Elizabeth I at Cambridge in 1564--a performance to which the Queen evidently called a halt. If I'm recalling correctly, Prof. Nelson indicated that there is an excerpt or fragment from this burlesque published in the Cambridge, Records of Early English Drama, 2 vols. (Toronto: University of Toronto Press, 1989). Although I have access to an excellent University library that has many of the volumes in the REED series, they do not appear to have Cambridge. Would anyone on the list be willing to expound on this document, or possibly scan the article and send it to me as an attachment if it's too long for an email? I would be most appreciative. I believe the excerpt is in Latin, but may stand corrected. Thanks all for your attention. --Christopher Paul
