In another, King Arbaces falls in love with Panthea, who has been promised to Tigranes. In addition to Cupid's Revenge and A King and No King, this playwright wrote a play in which Oriana tries to win Mirabel, and one in which Thenot loves Clorin, entitled The Wild Goose Chase and The Faithful Shephardess.
