The Maid's Tragedy Altered
THE
MAID'S TRAGEDY
ALTERED.
With some other
PIECES.
By Edmund Waller, Esq;
Not before Printed in the several Editions of his POEMS.
LONDON,
Printed for Jacob Tonson, at the Judges Head
in Chancery Lane, near Fleet-street. 1690.
Most of the following Pieces, being unfinish'd, were never intended to be publish'd; but that a Person, who had borrowed a Manuscript Copy of them, took upon him to print them. The Copy from which they were printed, was very Imperfect; and there being noe means left to suppress them, it was thought fit to suffer them to be more correctly printed from the last and truest Copies.
