stationer_additional_notes: This was probably a pirated edition issued by Francis Kirkman and printed by Thomas Johnson; see Johan Gerritsen, "The Dramatic Piracies of 1661," <i>Studies in Bibliography</i> 11 (1958): 117-31. We have retained it in DEEP because it may have appeared prior to the end of 1660.
