Edition Notes
State four includes the change of spelling of "Horlot" to "Harlot" in line 1 of the first column of verse. The floor under the dancing master's feet was darkened. In this impression the original engraving is worn to a nearly invisible line, and extensive re-engraving has been laid over.
