An epigram by Henry Parrot may contain a veiled allusion to the performance of a play about the semi-legendary London mayor Richard Whittington at the Fortune. The epigram reads: 'Tis said that Whittington was raid'd of nought, / And by a Cat, hath diuers wonders wrought; / But Fortune (not his Cat) makes it appeare: / He may dispend a thousand markes a yeare.'
