"A Speech to the King and Queenes Maiesties"

Printed an undetermined period after the main book, with no variant states
found in five examples. It is not found in surviving copies from before Phase IV;
I cannot say whether all copies from the last impression originally contained it.

Phase IV of The Triumph of Peace brings us to the end of a process that left
behind artifacts of a bibliographical complexity unsurpassed, in my experience,
for a book of its modest length. Once the last copies were sold, the masque stayed
out of print for the next two centuries. 40
