Although the play is complete (π1 D-E<sup>4</sup>), only a portion of the book is preserved; presumably eleven leaves are missing, which may have contained another play. Greg calls the title-page woodcut an ornament (<i>Bibliography</i>, 1:98), but Ruth Samson Luborsky and Elizabeth Morley Ingram describe it as an illustration in <i>A Guide to English Illustrated Books, 1536-1603</i> (Tempe: Medieval & Renaissance Texts & Studies, 1998), 1:47.
