He is also credited with the erotic poem The Choice of Valentines and his name appears on the title page of Christopher Marlowe's Dido, Queen of Carthage, though there is uncertainty as to what Nashe's contribution was. Some editions of this play, still extant in the 18th century but now unfortunately lost, contained memorial verses on Marlowe by Nashe, who was his friend.

Famous quotes containing the words nashe and/or works:

    Beauty is but a flower,
    Which wrinkles will devour;
    Brightness falls from the air;
    Queens have died young and fair;
    Dust hath closed Helen’s eye.
    I am sick, I must die.
    —Thomas Nashe (1567–1601)

    In saying what is obvious, never choose cunning. Yelling works better.
    Cynthia Ozick (b. 1928)
