Label pasted on front end-paper reads: ... Two lamentable tragedies / Robert Yarington. Date of only known quarto, 1601. <b.m. press-mark c. 12, e. 21> Reproduced in facsimile [Tudor facsimile texts] 1913.

The name Yarington is perhaps fictitious. The play may be an amalgamation of two earlier plays by Day, Haughton, and Chettle--"The tragedy of Thomas Merry" and "The orphan's tragedy," recorded in Henslowe's diary, but now lost. cf. Camb. hist. of Eng. lit., v. 5, p. 362-363 ; Dict. nat. biog.
