One of the most exasperating of his faults is his deliberate moraliz- ing. More and more as one studies his work he becomes convinced that he was, as Symons says, but "the late twilight of the long and splendid day of which Marlowe was the dawn." In connection with Massinger as well as anywhere, how- ever, it might be worth while briefly to note the changes that had taken place in the English drama since the days of Lyly and Marlowe.

As in any great movement in literature or life, symptomis of decay had begun to appear even while the form was at its height. Before 1600 several forms had died. First passed the miracle plays; with John Heywood went the interlude; and by 1600 the morality and the chronicle DECLINE OF THE ELIZABETHAN DRAMA 117 play had also run their course.
