Description
Verse -- "Once I read a noble volume,".
In five columns with the title and two woodcuts above the first three; the columns are not separated by rules; there is no imprint.
Divided into four parts; each part headed with a line reading "PART [roman numeral]."
Column 2, line 1: "Prince and princess both admire"; column 4, last line: "Since he’s dead let us two die."; last line of text: "He is ace,borrinp royal sir,n." (apparently the last line dropped out and the types were replaced haphazardly).
Some letters of the title appear above the space between the woodcuts; in this printing, all or part of "Y[space]LO" are above the space. The right edge of the left woodcut aligns with the p in "princess" (column 2, line 1).
There are several printings from this setting of the text, with variations in several points: text of column 2/line 1, column 4/last line, and the last line of text; the presence or absence of part numbers; the alignment of the woodcuts with the title and text; and the presence or absence of an imprint.
The other printings are ESTC N48661, T44329, N511125, N511126, and T44330.
Dated from the address in the imprint found on one printing (ESTC T44330); see David Stoker, "Another look at the Dicey-Marshall publications: 1736-1806", The Library, ser. 7, v. 15:2 (June 2014), 111-157.
