The references to Ben Jonson are to a copy of his first Folio of 1615 in the Royal Library at the Hague, this volume being indicated by i; or to a copy of the second volume of the second Folio, also at the Hague. Since the volume last mentioned has no continuous paging, quotations from it in our text are always accompanied by the title of the play or the work cited from.
