Comments:
Betterton's Company. The date of the premiere is not known. The Dedication is dated 20 April 1699, and the play was advertised in the Post Boy, 25-27 April 1699; hence, it is likely that the play was first given between mid-February and mid-March, certainly before Easter, which fell on 9 April 1699
