Actually printed by William Jaggard, not in 1600, but in 1619 for the Shakesperian collection that he issued in that year, all under similarly-formulated false imprints.

Here attributed to Shakespeare, but according to Henslowe's diary the authors were Drayton, Munday, and Robert Wilson, and Richard Hathway; evidently a reply to Shakespeare's Henry IV.
