NICOLAS (1505-1556).-Dramatist and scholar, _b._ in Hampshire, and _ed._ at Oxf. In 1534 he became headmaster of Eton, from which he was dismissed for misconduct, 1541. In 1537 he became Vicar of Braintree, in 1551 of Calborne, Isle of Wight, and in 1554 headmaster of Westminster School. He translated part of the _Apophthegms_ of Erasmus, and assisted in making the English version of his _Paraphrase of the New Testament_. Other translations were Peter Martyr's _Discourse on the Eucharist_ and Thomas Gemini's _Anatomia_, but he is best remembered by _Ralph Roister Doister_ (1553?), the first English comedy, a rude but lively piece.
