1 Bodleian Library, Rawlinson MS Poetry 26, fol. 6v; Bodleian MS Malone 23, p. 119; British Library Additional MS 29492, fol. 56r (the top of this page may have been cropped, thus deleting an article or words preceding these in the poem's title). Another source is more specific about the date of composition, stating that it “was writt 2 monethes before [Buckingham's] death” (Bodleian MS Ashmole 36, 37, fol. 174v). I will quote the version in Bodleian MS Ashmole 36, 37.

2 One variant has “gaines” for “Game,” which reinforces the sense of polarization, with the king and courtiers set against the “publique weale.”
