B contains the following Address to the Reader: 

’To the Reader.

’Courteous Reader. Philaster, and Anthusa his love, have laine so long a bleeding, by reason of some dangerous and gaping wounds, which they received in the first Impression, that it is wondered how they could goe abroad so long, or travaile so farre as they have done.  Although they were hurt neither by me, nor the Printer; yet I knowing and finding by experience, how many well-wishers they have abroad, have adventured to bind up their wounds, & to enable them to visite upon better tearmes, such friends of theirs, as were pleased to take knowledge of them, so mained [? maimed] and deformed, as they at the first were; and if they were then gracious in your sight, assuredly they will now finde double favour, being reformed, and set forth suteable, to their birth, and breeding.

By your serviceable Friend,

Thomas Walkley.’

C prefixes to the play the following Address repeated with variations of spelling in the five later quartos: 

’The Stationer, To the Understanding Gentrie.

’This play so affectionatly taken, and approoved by the Seeing Auditors, or Hearing Spectators, (of which sort, I take, or conceive you to bee the greatest part) hath received (as appeares by the copious vent of two [D and E three; F, G and H four] Editions,) no lesse acceptance with improovement of you likewise the Readers, albeit the first Impression swarm’d with Errors, prooving it selfe like pure Gold, which the more it hath beene tried and refined, the better is esteemed; the best Poems of this kind, in the first presentation, resemble [D—­H resembling] that all tempting Minerall newly digged up, the Actors being onely the labouring Miners, but you the skilfull Triers and Refiners:  Now considering [D—­H consider] how currant this hath passed, under the infallible stampe of your judicious censure, and applause, and (like a gainefull Office in this Age) eagerly sought

Page 3

for, not onely by those that have heard & seene it, [F—­H omit heard and] but by others that have meerely heard thereof:  here you behold me acting the Merchant-adventurers part, yet as well for their satisfaction, as mine owne benefit, and if my hopes (which I hope, shall never lye like this LOVE A BLEEDING,) doe fairely arrive at their intended Haven, I shall then be ready to lade a new Bottome, and [D—­H omit and] set foorth againe, to game the good-will both of you and them.  To whom respectively I convey this hearty greeting:  ADIEU.’

Actus I. Scoen.  I.

Enter at severall doores Lord Lyon, Trasiline, followes him,
Clerimon meetes them.

TRASILINE. 
                Well ore tane my Lord.

LYON.  Noble friend welcome, and see who encounters
                us, honourable good Clerimon.

CLE.  My good Lord Lyon, most happily met worthy
                Trasiline,
                Come gallants, what’s the newes,
                the season affoords us variety,
                the novilsts of our time runnes on heapes,
                to glut their itching eares with airie sounds,
                trotting to’th burse; and in the Temple walke
                with greater zeale to heare a novall lye,
                than a pyous Anthum tho chanted by Cherubins.

TRANS.  True Sir: 
                and holds set counsels, to vent their braine sicke opinions
                with presagements what all states shall designe.

CLE.  Thats as their intelligence serves.

LYON.  And that shall serve as long as invention lastes,
                there dreames they relate, as spoke from Oracles,
                or if the gods should hold a synod, and make them their
                secritaries, they will divine and prophecie too:  but come
                and speake your thoughts of the intended marriage with
                the Spanish Prince.  He is come you see, and bravely
                entertainde.

Page 4

TRAS.  Hee is so, but not married yet.

CLE.  But like to be, and shall have in dowry with the
                Princesse this Kingdome of Cycele.

LEON.  Soft and faire, there is more will forbid the baines,
                then say amen to the marriage:  though the King
                usurped the Kingdome during the non-age of the
                Prince Phylaster, hee must not thinke to bereave
                him of it quite; hee is now come to yeares to claime
                the Crowne.

TRA.  And lose his head i’ the asking.

LEON.  A diadem worn by a headlesse King wold be
                 wonderous, Phylaster is too weake in power.

CLE.  He hath many friends.

LEON.  And few helpers.

TRA.  The people love him.

LEON.  I grant it, that the King knowes too well,
                And makes this Contract to make his faction strong: 
                Whats a giddy-headed multitude,
                That’s not Disciplinde nor trainde up in Armes,
                To be trusted unto?  No, he that will
                Bandy for a Monarchic, must provide
                Brave marshall troopes with resolution armde,
                To stand the shock of bloudy doubtfull warre,
                Not danted though disastrous Fate doth frowne,
                And spit all spightfull fury in their face: 
                Defying horror in her ugliest forme,
                And growes more valiant, the more danger threats;
                Or let leane famine her affliction send,
                Whose pining plagues a second hel doth bring,
                Thei’le hold their courage in her height of spleene,
                Till valour win plenty to supply them,
                What thinke ye, would yer feast-hunting Citizens
                Indure this?

TRA.  No sir, a faire march a mile out of town that their wives may
                bring them their dinners, is the hottest service that they
                are trained up to.

CLE.  I could wish their experience answered their loves,
                Then should the much too much wrongd Phylaster,
                Possesse his right in spight of Don and the divell.

TRA.  My heart is with your wishes.

LEON.  And so is mine,
                And so should all that loves their true borne Prince,
                Then let us joyne our Forces with our mindes,
                In whats our power to right this wronged Lord,
                And watch advantage as best may fit the time
                To stir the murmuring people up,
                Who is already possest with his wrongs,
                And easily would in rebellion rise,
                Which full well the King doth both know and feare,
                But first our service wee’le proffer to the Prince,
                And set our projects as he accepts of us;
                But husht, the King is comming.

                deerly belovers of Custards & Cheescakes, or your branch
                cloth of bodkins, or your tyffenies, your robbin-hood
                scarlet and Johns, tie your affections in durance to
                your shops, my dainty duckers, up with your three pil’d
                spirit’s, that rightvalourous, and let your accute colours
