Eastward hoe, a comedy by G.
Chapman,
Jonson, and J.
Marston, printed 1605. A passage derogatory to the Scots (
iii. iii. 40–7) gave offence at court, and Chapman and Jonson were imprisoned, but released on the intercession of powerful friends. The play is particularly interesting for the light it throws on London life of the time. Like Dekker's
Shoemaker's Holiday, it gives a sympathetic picture of a tradesman.
The plot contrasts the careers of the virtuous and idle apprentices, Golding and Quicksilver, of the goldsmith Touchstone; and the fates of his two daughters, the modest Mildred, who marries the industrious Golding, and the immodest Gertrude who, in order to ride in her own coach, marries the penniless adventurer Sir Petronel Flash. Golding prospers and becomes deputy alderman, in which capacity he is able to intercede on behalf of the imprisoned and delinquent Quicksilver and Sir Petronel.
