"A Chast Mayd in Cheape-side.” 1630. The exact date of production is uncertain, but it is stated on title page to have been "often acted at the Swan on the Bankside, by the lady Elizabeth her Servants," which has caused it to be assigned, but not indisputably, to the years 1611-13.

PHILIP MASSINGER, THOMAS MIDDLETON, AND WILLIAM ROWLEY.

"The Excellent Comedy called The Old Law, or, A new way to please you. Acted before the King and Queene at Salisbury House, and at severall other places, with great Applause." 1656..

Rowley had a considerable share in the composition of this work, but if it was written in 1599, a date suggested by a line in the play, Massinger, who was then only fifteen years of age, could have had nothing to do with it in its original form, although he may have revised the text later on. (See Bullen, Middleton, p. xv.)
