ABSTRACT

Printed by William Stansby for Edward Marchant, this pamphlet was entered in the Stationers’ Register on 23 January 1613 to John Trundell. Stansby was the printer of Potts’s pamphlet of the previous year but produced this much shorter quarto in a more traditional blackletter format. Trundell or Trundle was a prolific publisher based at the sign of Nobody in the Barbican area in 1613, and he had published the first (bad) quarto of Hamlet in 1603. Presumably he passed the pamphlet’s rights on to Marchant, a bookseller dealing in ballads and ephemera. The text used here is in the Huntington Library, California.
