Steggle examines the mid-19th century play 'The Florentine Ladies' with regard to the prologue and epilogue by Thomas Jordan. He argues that 'The Florentine Ladies' seems to have had some sort of connection to Edward Sharpham's The Fleire. Among the occasional poetry which comprises Jordan's volume A Royal Arbor of Loyal Poesie (1663), there occur two poems relating to the play. The Epilogue demonstrates that the play was a comedy which ended in at least two marriages. All this would fit well with Edward Sharpham's The Fleire. There are links between the lost 'The Florentine Ladies', as described in Jordan's Prologue and Epilogue, and the extant play The Fleire, perhaps especially the altered Fleire recorded in the British Library copy.
