Nathaniel Butter, (without any direction to the place of fale) 1608.

[These two Quarto's, though of the fame date, appear to be different editions, not only as the one has not the place of fale set down in the title page, which is fet down in the other; but as they have different readings; and the pages do not tally together.

In the course of collating this play, I have had reason to think that the quarto which I have marked the ist, is the older edition of the two. And it may be observed, that the folio's read more after the 1st than the 2d.]

The four folio's; and the modern editions of Rowe, Pope, Theobald, Hanmer, Warburton, and Johnson, to which references are made by the initial letters of the editors names.
