Pix's unpublished manuscript was rejected by the actor and producer George Powell, who subsequently plagiarized it in his play Imposture Defeated (1697).
[1][2] The play is about the misogynistic Melito Bondi, a Venetian senator who pretends to be blind in order to avoid the expense of becoming President of Dalmatia.
The resourceful widow Lady Temptyouth helps Olivia (Bondi's wife) and Ariana (his daughter) to meet their gallants, Count Andrea and Fidelio.
During the play Temptyouth helps to find a wealthy husband for Lucinda, an illegitimate girl whom she has raised.
[1] Jane Milling states that Pix ultimately gained from the plagiarism fiasco, as she obtained the public support of leading actors and literary figures including Mrs. Barry, Peter Motteux and William Congreve.
