The sources

The early texts currently known are as follows:

British Library MS Harley 7317, ff. 65v-67r (BLh17)
British Library MS Harley 7319, ff. 4r-6v (BLh19)
Nottingham University Library MS Portland Pw V 42, pp. 13-20 (Np42)
Bodleian MS Don b 8, pp. 477-478, 480-482 (Od8)
Bodleian MS Firth c 15, pp. 10-14 (Of15)
Ohio State University Library MS Eng. 15, pp. 10-14 (OSe15)
Princeton University Library MS Taylor 2, pp. 9-13 (Pt2)
Österreichische Nationalbibliothek MS 14090, ff. 66v-68v (V90)
Victoria and Albert Museum MS Dyce 43, pp. 119-124 (VAd43)
Poems on Affairs of State (London, 1703), pp. 188-191 (03)
Between them these represent two distinct recensions, the first of which itself exists in two highly variant forms. Once this fact is realised, the disparities begin to look less alarming.
