RANDOLPH, THOMAS (1605-1635) , English poet and dramatist, was born near Daventry in Northamptonshire
Cambridge . He took his B.A. degree in 1628, proceeded M.A. in 1632 and became a major fellow of his college in the same year. He soon gave promise as a writer of comedy. Ben Jonson, not an easily satisfied critic, adopted him as one of his " sons." He addressed three poems to Jonson, one on the occasion of his formal " adoption," another on the failure of The New Inn, and the third an eclogue, describing his own studies at Cambridge . He lived with his father at Little Houghton in Northamptonshire
house
Randolph's reputation as a wit is attested by the verses addressed to him by his contemporaries and by the stories attached to his name. His earliest printed work
monologue delivered by the pedlar, who defines himself as an " individuum vagum,or the primum mobile of tradesmen, a walking-burse or movable exchange, a Socratical citizen of the vast universe, or a peripatetical journeyman, that, like another Atlas, carries his heavenly shop on's shoulders." He then proceeds to display his wares with a running satirical comment. The Jealous Lovers was presented by the students of Trinity College, Cambridge, before the king and queen in 1632. The Muse's Looking-Glass is hardly a drama. Roscius presents the extremes of virtue and vice in pairs, and last of all the " golden mediocrity " who announces herself as the mother of all the virtues. Amyntas, or The Impossible Dowry, a pastoral
list
work
