Hamlet himself is almost more of a satirist than a philosopher: Asper and Macilente, Felice and Malevole, the grim studies after Hamlet unconsciously or consciously taken by Jonson and Marston, may pass as wellnigh passable imitations, with an inevitable streak of caricature in them, of the first Hamlet; they would have been at once puerile and ghastly travesties of the second.
He hath some other parts of almost equal merit, as Malevole, in the 'Malcontent; Frankford, in the 'Woman Killed with Kindness; Brachiano, in Webster's 'White Devil; and Vendice, in Cyril Tournour's 'Revenger's Tragedy."
