Lovers' Quarrels, or Like Master Like Man is a farce in one act, attributed to Thomas King (1730-1805)[1],

The original text

First performed as a benefit for King on 2 February 1790 at the Theatres-Royal, Drury-Lane and Covent-Garden, and was published, inter alia by J. Roach, 1806, as "Lovers' Quarrels, or Like Master Like Man: an Interlude in One Act, Altered from The Mistake of Sir J.V. by T. King".

This is thus an adaptation of The Mistake by Sir John Vanbrugh (1664-1726)[2] and is in fact often also credited to Vanbrugh alone. Allardyce Nicoll (2009) also mentions two other adaptations of The Mistake under the same title, one by "D.L." (1816) and one by "Vic." (1864).
