r staged. _The Tragedy of Alphonsus Emperour of Germany_ (see the edition by Dr Karl Elye; Leipzig, 1867) and _Revenge for Honour_ (1654)[2] both bear Chapman's name on the title-page, but his authorship has been disputed. In _The Ball_ (lic. 1632; pr. 1639), a comedy, and _The Tragedie of Chabot Admirall of France_ (lic. 1635; pr. 1639) he collaborated with James Shirley. _The memorable Masque of the two Honourable Houses or Inns of Court; the Middle Temple and Lyncoln's Inne_, was performed at court in 1613 in honour of the marriage of the Princess Elizabeth. _The Whole Works of Homer: Prince of Poets. In his Iliads and Odysseys_ ... appeared in 1616, and about 1624 he added _The Crowne of all Homers works Batrachomyomachia or the Battaile of Frogs and Mise. His Hymns and Epigrams._ But the whole works had been already published by instalments. _Seaven Bookes of the Iliades of Homer_ had appeared in 1598, _Achilles Shield_ in the same year, books i.-xii. about 1609; in 1611 _The Iliads of Homer, Prince of Poets_ ...; and in 1614 _Twenty-four Bookes of Homer's Odisses_ were entered at Stationers' Hall. In 1609 he addressed to Prince Henry _Enthymiae Raptus; or the Teares of Peace_, and on the death of his patron he contributed _An Epicede, or Funerall Song_ (1612). A paraphrase of _Petrarchs Seven Penitentiall Psalms_ (1612), a poem in honour of the marriage of Robert Carr, earl of Somerset, and Frances, the divorced countess of Essex, indiscreetly entitled _Andromeda Liberata_ ... (1614), a translation of _The Georgicks of Hesiod_ (1618), _Pro Vere Autumni Lachrymae_ (1622), in honour of Sir Horatio Vere, _A justification of a Strange Action of Nero ... also ... the fifth Satyre of Juvenall_ (1629), and _Eugenia_ ... (1614), an elegy on Sir William Russell, complete the list of his separately published works. Chapman's _Homer_ was edited in 1857 by the Rev. Richard Hooper; and a reprint of his dramatic works appeared in 1873. The standard edition of Chapman is the _Works_, edited by R.H. Shepherd (1874-1875), the third volume of which contains an "Essay on the Poetical and Dramatic works of George Chapman," by Mr Swinburne, printed separately in 1875. The selection of his plays (1895) for the Mermaid Series is edited by Mr W.L. Phelps. For the sources of the plays see Emil Koeppel, "Anellen Studien zu den Dramen George Chapman's, Philip Massi
