The Widow's Prize, The Noble Choice, Alexias, The Judge, and The Great Man.

[10]

The Nobleman, which Warburton calls a tragicomedy, may be added as an eleventh case, because Moseley does not specify its type, and no one has supposed that Warburton saw a Register entry of 1612 which confirms that it was a tragicomedy.
