A Game of Chess
Thomas Middleton

Note that Part II is titled A Game of Chess. This echos the title of another play by Thomas Middleton A Game at Chesse.

There is a website that is attempting to collect the plays by Thomas Middleton at

http://www.tech.org/~cleary/middhome.html

however the plays A Game of Chess and Women Beware Women are not there yet (March 11, 2002).

See Eliot's commentary on Middleton's Women Beware Women at the commentary for line 138.
