“…23 In both plays, the husband's troubled conscience disrupts his sleep (All's Lost, 3.3.15-18; Witch, 2.2.72-6), 24 and he envisages it as a serpentine creature within him: Antonio cries 'oh what a bed of snakes struggle within me' (2.6.36) and Frank feels 'the poisoned leeches twist about my heart' (2.2.121). 25 The Changeling, written by Rowley with Thomas Middleton, was licensed in May 1622; 26 it thus postdates All's Lost and shows the influence of the earlier play.

Following G.E. Bentley’s The Jacobean and Caroline Stage, scholars normally date William Rowley’s tragedy All’s Lost by Lust to 1619-20. Re-examining the evidence shows Bentley’s interpretation was faulty: the play could date to any point between 1611 and 1621, although similarities with other plays suggest that it was most likely written toward the latter end of that spectrum. Broader possibilities for the play’s date help us to recognize overlooked connections among Rowley’s plays, illuminate Christopher Beeston’s relationship with the playing companies at the Phoenix playhouse, and facilitate the dating of some fragmentary playlists from the revels office.
