The following plays are assigned to Dekker in S. R. but are now lost:

The Life and Death of Guy of Warwick, with Day (S. R. 15 Jan. 1620).

Gustavus King of Swethland (S. R. 29 June 1660).

The Tale of Ioconda and Astolso, a Comedy (S. R. 29 June 1660).

The two latter are also in Warburton's list of burnt plays (3 Library, ii. 231).

The following are assigned to Dekker in Herbert's licence entries:

A French Tragedy of The Bellman of Paris, by Dekker and Day, for the Prince's, on 30 July 1623.

The Fairy Knight, by Dekker and Ford, for the Prince's, on 11 June 1624.

The Bristow Merchant, by Dekker and Ford, for the Palsgrave's, on 22 Oct. 1624.

Fleay, i. 232, seems to have nothing but the names to go upon in suggesting identifications of the two latter with the Huon of Bordeaux, revived by Sussex's on 28 Dec. 1593, and Day's Bristol Tragedy (q.v.) respectively.
