The play exists in multiple versions. First staged before 1660, but altered by Nahum Tate in 1685. The play was again altered by Robert Drury and produced at Drury Lane in 1732. Another altered version, in duodecimo, was published in Edinburgh in 1733 with some new songs substituted. These have been attributed to Ramsay: See J. Maidment and W.H. Logan, <u>Dramatists of the Restoration: Cokain</u> (Edinburgh: William Paterson, 1874), 117-118.<br>
