"The maid's tragedy altered ...", London, Printed for Jacob Tonson ..., 1690 has separate t.p. and pagination.

"Most of the following pieces, being unfinish'd, were never intended to be publish'd; but that a person, who had borrowed a manuscript copy of them, took upon him to print them. The copy from which they were printed, was very imperfect; and there being noe means left to suppress them, it was thought fit to suffer them to be more correctly printed from the last and truest copies."-Prefatory note of The maid's tragedy.

"The maid's tragedy" is only a fragment, probably intended by Waller to form a new act V, transforming Beaumont and Fletcher's tragedy into a comedy.
