It was edited in 1828, Tsar Frederick Madden, for the Rexburg Club.
From the fact that it is called a Lai, and also since the poet tells us “we UN lay en friend lid Breton” hereof the Bretons made a lay”), we are justified in concluding that the story belongs to British or else tradition.

He mentions a feast given by Havelock after his defeat of odium “is aim meditating veraestoire” (“as the true history tells us :”).

Passage – 2
Chapman is best known to the general reader by the striking tribute of Keats; while Swinburne’s eloquent eulogy did much to call attention to his outstanding merit as a writer. Certainly, he is among the great men of the time, and whether as translator, as a writer of comedies, or as a verse maker, he claims our admiration.
He is one of the collaborators in one of the very best comedies of the time, Eastward Ho, Jonson and Marston being also concerned in it.
Judging from what we know of Marston’s I strongly colored work, we should not rate his intervention as at all considerable; and despite Jonson’s satirical strength, and there is an alertness and gaiety about it which is certainly not characteristic of “Rare Ben.”
On the other hand it shows considerable affinity with his own comedy, All Fool’s, and the inference that the capital merits of Eastward Ho are Chapman’s, would not seem to be unfair.
1. In what fields of literature is Chapman best known?
Chapman is best known as translator, as a writer of comedies and as a verse maker.
2. ‘Eastward Ho’ was written in collaboration of how many writers?
Eastward Ho was one of the best comedies of the time. It was written in collaboration of three writers, i.e., Chapman, Johnson and Marston.
3. Why does the capital merit of Eastward Ho go to Chapman? Give reason.
Since ‘Eastward Ho’ is far from Marston’s strongly colored work and Johnson’s satirical style, and also it shows considerable affinity with Chapman’s own comedy, All Fool’s, that is why the capital merit of this comedy goes only to Chapman.
4. How is Chapman best known to general readers?
Chapman is best known to general readers by the striking tributes of Keats, while Swinburne’s eloquent eulogy did much to call attention to his outstanding merits as a” writer.
5. Which are those features not associated with ‘Rare Ben’?
Alertness and gaiety are not the characteristic of ‘Rare Ben’.
