5 J. Lilly in (A Collection of Seventy-Nine Black-letter Ballads and Broadsides … in the reign of Queen Elizabeth (London, 1867), p. 255 prints the ballad; so does Halliwell-Phillipps (Shakespeare, Vol. vii). Some stanzas are given by Furness, and by Luce (Arden ed.). There probably can be no question about Malvolio's referring to this ballad. No other piece with this refrain is known, and no critic has apparently questioned the identification. Cf. note in the edition ed. by Quiller-Couch and J. D. Wilson, which appeared after this paper was written.
