Anonymous. An earlier edition of this balled conjecturally dated to 1633 (STC 20324) is signed "L.P." and attributed to Laurence Price by STC. Wing attributes later editions to Martin Parker based on ESTC R216199 (formerly Wing P85) which is signed "M.P." and printed for Francis Grove. Susan Newman suggests "M.P." is a misprint. See Newman, S.A. (1976). Thesis (Ph.D). The Broadside Ballads of Martin Parker. University of Birmingham. Vol.1, p.360. The ODNB entry for Martin Parker suggests that "his initials may have been fostered upon other men's labours by a canny bookseller particularly Francis Coles or Francis Grove who saw the commercial value of Parker's name"

According to Plomer, William Onley worked in London between 1697 and 1709. Bridget Deacon active 1699-1708. Cf. British Book Trade Index; British Library catalogue dates title to [1700]
