S., i.e., Valentine Simmes, for Pavier, and bearing the date 1600. A second quarto, printed with some alterations from the first, was issued with the addition of Shakespeare's name as author. In this Pavier's name again figured, but without mention of the printer: the date given was likewise 1600, but it has been suggested that this was not the real date of printing (see the Library ix. 113). The play was included among the additions made to the third folio of Shakespeare's works in 1664. This edition was printed from the second quarto, and that in the fourth folio of 1685 from the previous folio.
