I would put this play in the middle tier of revenge tragedies. It's more entertaining than some but still feels over-long when being read. Although you have to appreciate the dedication it takes to bite out your own tongue...

casparb's review against another edition

somebody describes as lumpy, & I think this gloopy porridgidity to the play is not far off. but such is a little joy. make sure it's in th originale spellings

When I was yong I gaue my minde
And plide my-selfe to fruitles poetrie,
Which, though it profite the professor naught,
Yet is it passing pleasing to the world.
