"A letter from Octauia to Marcus Antonius" begins new register and pagination. Following this, "A panegyricke congratulatorie", "The tragedy of Philotas" (commencing quire 2A), "Hymens triumph", "The Queenes Arcadia", "The vision of the tvvelue goddesses", and "The tragedie of Cleopatra" each have separate dated title pages; pagination and register are continuous. Reproductions of the originals in the British Library and the Henry E. Huntington Library and Art Gallery. Appears at reel 985 (British Library copy, first part only) and at reel 1376 (Henry E. Huntington Library and Art Gallery copy).
