Excerpt from King Edward the First
And on your war drums carry crownes as kings, Crowne Murall, Nauall, and triumphant all, At view of whom the Turkes haue trembling fled, And Sarazens like fheepe before the walles, Haue made their cottages in walled townes.

Excerpt from King Edward the First
An edition duly appeared with the date 1593, printed by Jeffes and sold for him by William Barley in Gracechurch street. It is a quarto printed in the usual roman type of a body similar to modern pica (20 ll. = 83 mm.). Copies are preserved in the Bodleian Library and the British Museum: both have been collated throughout for the present reprint, each proving to have an uncorrected page, the former sig. L 2 recto, the latter sig. B 2 verso. In both copies the last leaf, presumably blank, is missing. The original is a very ordinary piece of presswork of the time, composed with tolerable care but representing a very corrupt text. Moreover, in spite of the unusual length of the play as it has come down to us, it would yet seem that it has been mutilated and possibly some scenes altogether excised. What should have lead to a second edition of the play being published, still more why any special care should have been bestowed upon it, is not clear. Nevertheless the fact remains that a second edition appeared in 1599 very tastefully printed in a much smaller type than its predecessor (20 ll. = 68 mm.). The printer was William White, to whom Jeffes had transferred his rights on 13 August 1599 (Arber, III. 146).
