Henry Lawes wrote the music to the songs, and among the actors was Richard Busby, who " approv'd himself a second Roscius." The play was mounted at considerable cost (the actors appearing in Persian costumes), and gave such satisfaction that the Court "unanimously acknowledg'd that it did exceed all things of that nature which they had ever seen." The Queen was so charmed with "The Royal Slave" that in the following November the King's company was ordered to represent it at Hampton Court; but the performance of the professional players was judged far inferior to that of the amateurs.

The scenes are laid in the head quarters of King Richard and the Earl of Richmond, when they are in sight of one another. This tragedy was excellently acted in every part, particularly by Betterton in King Richard, Harris in the Earl of Richmond, Smith in Sir William Stanley; they gained additional estimation to themselves as well as profit to the whole company. Downes does not tell us who acted the other characters. The greater part, however, consists of fictitious love scenes. It is interesting in as much as nothing is taken from Shakespeare.

It was performed for twelve days in succession, a good run for the times. The part which concerns Sir Salomon is professedly taken from Moliere's School for Wives; there is an important underplot. Sir Salomon is a part quite out of Betterton's line, but he acted it splendidly, a proof of his versatility. 1395 Another Edition. H. Herringman, 1691.
