title: Honoria and Mammon; The Contention of Ajax and Ulysses
variant_description: There are three issues of this collection. Wing S3475 states the book was "Printed for the use of the Author" and is undated; there is no engraved portrait of Shirley. Wing S3474 is undated and lists "T.W." as printer and Crooke as publisher; there is an engraved portrait of Shirley preceding the title page [A1+1v]. Wing S3473 lists Crook as publisher and is dated 1659; some, but not all, copies contain the engraved portrait of Shirley. (Greg distinguishes these three issues as, respectively, 473b(i), 473b(ii), and 473b(iii), but these variants affect the two-play Shirley collection more than they do the individual masque <i>Honoria and Mammon</i>.)
