Another source is more specific about the date of composition, stating that it “was writt 2 monethes before [Buckingham's] death” (Bodleian MS Ashmole 36, 37, fol. 174v). I will quote the version in Bodleian MS Ashmole 36, 37.
2 One variant has “gaines” for “Game,” which reinforces the sense of polarization, with the king and courtiers set against the “publique weale.”
