A copy of the 2nd edition of 1623 reproduced from an original copy even though there are some imperfections, e.g. some marks and blurring of text. The 1623 edition was the first to contain the 4-part madrigal which was an attempt to capture the piping of the queen at swarming time (Harding 18). Walker called it 'the most readable Edn'.
