Oxford, in 1621, but See also:left the university without taking a degree, and about 163o began a career in See also:London as a dramatist. His See also:works include: Covent See also:Garden (acted 1633, printed 1638), a See also:prose See also:comedy of small merit; See also:Tottenham See also:Court (acted 1634, printed 1638), a comedy the See also:scene of which is laid in a See also:holiday resort of the London tradesmen; See also:Hannibal and Scipio (acted 1635, printed 1637), a See also:historical tragedy; The See also:- BRIDE (a common Teutonic word, e.g..Goth. bruths, O. Eng. bryd, O. H. Ger. prs2t, Mod. Ger. Bract, Dut. bruid, possibly derived from the root bru-, cook, brew; from the med. latinized form bruta, in the sense of daughter-in-law, is derived the Fr. bru)
Bride (1638), a comedy; The Unfortunate See also:Mother (164o), an unacted tragedy; Microcosmus, a Morall Maske (printed 1637); two other masques, See also:Spring's See also:Glory and Presentation intended for the See also:Prince his Highnesse on his Birthday (printed together in 1638); and a continuation of See also:Richard See also:Knolles's Generall Historie of the Turkes (1638). His See also:verse is smooth and musical, and if his See also:language is sometimes coarse, his See also:general attitude is moral. The masque of Microcosmus—really a morality See also:play, in which Physander after much See also:error is reunited to his wife Bellanima, who personifies the soul—is admirable in its own See also:kind, and the other two masques, slighter in construction but ingenious, show Nabbes at his best.
Nabbes's plays were collected in 1639; and Microcosmus was printed in See also:Dodsley's Old Plays (1744). All his works, with the exception of his continuation of Knolles's See also:history, were reprinted by A. H. Bullen in his Old English Plays (second See also:series, 1887). See also F. G. Fleay, Biog. Clzron. of the English See also:Drama (1891).
