Printed for the Malone Society by Horace Hart at the Oxford University Press 1908. A play by now assumed to have been written by George Peele and first printed in England in 1595. The play has been identified as the first English work to satirize the romantic dramas popular at the time. Although only the titles of most of these popular works have survived, they seem to be unrelated composites of popular romantic and fairy-tale motifs of the era.
