Patient Grissel


Patient Grissel is a play by Thomas Dekker, Henry Chettle, and William Haughton. It was mentioned in Henslowe's diary in the entry for December 1599. It was first printed in 1603.

The plot is a variant of the medieval tale of patient Griselda, as told in Chaucer's Canterbury Tales.

The play contains Dekker's poem "Golden Slumbers" (which was adapted by Paul McCartney for the song of the same name on The Beatles' Abbey Road album):
