Oxford And Cambridge Actors
KING JAMES had two comedies acted before him, the one at Cambridge, the
other at Oxford; that at Cambridge was called Ignoramus, an ingenious
thing, wherein one Mr. Sleep was a principal actor; the other at Oxford
was but a dull piece, and therein Mr. Wake was a prime actor. Which made
his Majesty merrily to say, that in Cambridge one Sleep made him
wake, and in Oxford one Wake made him sleep.
