A second reissue of the 1609 edition. Part 1 still has the 1611 cancel title page and conjugate dedication of the first reissue (STC 23083.3); B3r stanza 1 begins "Yoūg knight". Q5-6 of part 1, bearing respectively the 1609 title page and first leaf of text of part 2, are canceled. Part 2 has been reprinted, with a title page dated either 1612 or 1613 (stop-press variant). The R3r catchword now reads "And". Pagination and register are continuous. In some copies (such as the one on the microfilm) the 1612/1613 title page has been canceled instead of the 1609 one.
Title page framed within decorative woodcut border featuring emblem at foot of a boar next to a marjoram bush with motto: 'Spiro non tibi'.
Woodcut initials, head- and tail-pieces.
Text mainly printed in double columns.
The last leaf is blank.
