rote some plays, but not more than one of them was ever acted. His comedy called *Damoiselles à la Mode* was printed in 1667, and addressed to the Duke and Duchess of Newcastle; but the players refused to perform it. His other dramatic pieces were *Ermina, or the Chaste Lady; Love's Dominion*, printed in 1654; and *The Marriage of Oceanus and Britannia*. His other works consist of, 1. *Epigrams and Enigmatical Characters*, 1670, in 8vo; 2. *Miscellanea, or Poems of all sorts, with divers other pieces*, 1653, in 12mo; 3. *Diarium, or the Journal, divided into twelve Jornadas, in burlesque verse*, London, 1656, in 12mo. Flecknoe died in 1678. Mr Southey, in his *Omnia*, has generally endeavoured to vindicate him from some of the ridicule thrown upon him as a writer, and from certain grave reproaches made against his character as a man.
