His earliest romance, Forbonius and Prisceria, published in 1584, is partly pastoral in plot, a faithful lover being driven by the opposition of his lady's father into assuming the pastoral habit; but it is chiefly the connexion of his Rosalynde of 1590 with Shakespeare's As You Like It that gives him a claim upon our attention.
Among his romances may be mentioned Euphues' Shadow, Forbonius and Prisceria , and Rosalynde, Euphues' Golden Legacie . His poems include Glaucus and Scilia , Phillis honoured with Pastoral Sonnets, Elegies, and Amorous Delights . Rosalynde, his best known work, and the source from which Shakespeare is said to have drawn As you like It, was written to beguile the tedium of a voyage to the Canaries.
