title: The Country Captain (Captain Underwit)
variant_description: Sheet A exists in three states, and sheet C in two states. In Greg 681a(i*), there is a single lace ornament above the HT on A2r. In Greg 681a(i†), there is a lace ornament above and below the HT. In Greg 681a(ii), a leaf containing "A Prologue" and "The Epilogue" was inserted between the leaves A1 and A2; and the original duodecimo leaves C5-C6 were replaced by three octavo leaves containing additions to the text. Both states of 681a(i) are also found in 681a(ii). The states of 681a(i) are classified by Greg as a bibliographically independent issue, whereas 681a(ii) is treated as part of the 1649 Cavendish collection (Wing N877), though Greg notes "there is no evidence" that the play "was ever issued except in company with <i>The Variety</i> [691] in a two-play collection."
