There is, I think, sufficient external evidence to warrant us in attributing the authorship of this drama to Shakespeare; still, if upon perusal it turned out to be utterly worthless, we should be justly entitled to doubt its parentage. An inferior play he might produce, but certainly not an irredeemably bad one. The second point then to consider, is, to what conclusion does a careful study of the drama lead us? To this, that with all its faults it contains so much strength and beauty, and so many striking coincidences of style, phraseology, and imagery, with our bard's unquestioned works, as to leave no doubt that it was, not in part, but entirely the production of Shakespeare.
