Act 1, Sc.2: Woofcellus may have remarked that, "there's something rotten in the pack of Dogmark," but the entire Pack of Italy appears rotten: murder, rape, incest, adultery, judicial interference, gaol-breaking, deceit, nefarious plotting, you name it...

The Woofenger's Dogedy

Enter Dogice, with a skull...

Dogice talks to a skull, vows woofenge and goes to disguise himself, all in one not particularly long scene. We also learn that the Pack Leader of Italy would mount any bitch in the world and every bitch in the world if he could...

The Revenger's Tragedy, which I read not so very long ago, but I'm not skipping, because Iwant to see it in the light of its context in this book.

(Idle's been literally committing highway robbery.) Much banter at the expense of Puritan hypocrisy (the servants) vs. bad breath (the soldier)

The Puritan Widow, Act 1, Sc.2: A scholar and a soldier meet in a street. Sounds like the start of a bad joke...Anyway, they're both broke and out of work - so they decide to scheme for their survival and that widow over in Wattling Street looks like a suitable dupe...

More Diffemblers Befides Women
A comedy, in the sense that Merchant of Venice is a comedy: nobody dies at the end. There's probaby a game-theory paper in this one: everybody is trying to marry better than they ought to, and all end up achieving less because of it.
