MUN'DAY (Anthony), a dramatic writer, was born 
about the year 1553. He is celebrated by Meres among 
the comic poets as the heft plotter ; but few of his dramatic 
pieces are come down to the prefent times. He appears 
to have been a writer through a very long period, there 
being works exifting publilhed by him, which are dated 
in 1580 and 1621, and probably both earlier and later than 
thofe years. In the year 1582 he dete&ed the treafonable 
praftices of Edmund Campion and his confederates, of 
■which he publiflied an account, wherein he is ftyled, 
“ fometime the Pope’s fcholier, allowed in the leminarie 
at Roome.” The publication of this pamphlet brought 
down upon him the vengeance cf his opponents, one of 
■whom, in an anfwer to him, has given his hiftory in thefe 
words: “ Munday was firft a ftage-player; after an ap- 
prentife, which tyme he wel ferved with deceaving of his 
matter; then, wandring towardes Italy, by his own report, 
became a cofener in his journey. Comming to Rome, in 
his fhort abode there was charitably relieved, but never 
admitted in the feminary, as he plefeth to lye in the title of 
his booke ; and, being wery of well doing, returned home 
to his firft vomite, and was hift from the ltage for his folly. 
Being thereby difeouraged, he fet forth a balet againll; 
plays, though (o conftant youth) he afterwards began 
again to ruffle upon the ftage. I omit, among other places, 
his behaviour in Barbican, with his good mi ft refs and mo¬ 
ther. Two things, however, muft not be paffed over of 
this boy’s infelicitie, two feveral ways of late notorious. 
Firft, he, writing upon the death of Everard Haunfe, was 
immediately controled and difproved by one of his own 
batche ; and, fliortly after, letting forth the appreheniion 
of M. Campion, was difproved by George (I was about to 
fay Judas) Eliot, who, writing againft him, proved that 
thole things he did were for luker’s lake only, and not for 
the trutlie, thogh he himfelf be a perfon of the fame predi¬ 
cament, of whom I mufte fay, that, if felony be honefty, 
then he may for his behaviore be taken for a laweful wit- 
nefs againft fo good men.” It will take from the credit of 
this narrative to obferve, that our author was after this 
time lervant to the earl of Oxford, and a mefl’enger of the 
queen’s bedchamber ; polls which he would fcarcely have 
held, had his character been fo infamous as is reprefented 
above. At the time of his death, which happened Au- 
guft 10, 1633, he was eighty years of age, as appears by 
his monument, in the parilh-church of St. Stephen, Cole- 
man-ftreet, where he was buried. Fie is ftyled in the in¬ 
scription, Citizen and Draper of London. For a lift of 
his dramatic productions, we refer to the Biographia 
Dramatic a.
