Zusammenfassung:Merriam suggests that the 31-line dialogue between the Lord Chamberlain and Anne Bullen is an interpolation by Shakespeare's co-author, John Fletcher. It includes fifteen lines with feminine endings and two eleven-syllable lines. The rate of deviant lines is 55 percent, by contrast to 38 per cent. Within the 31-line interpolation there are minor phrases which are more like those used by Fletcher than Shakespeare.
