First edition of this curious 17th-century romantic text. The date on the title is retouched in pen, but the full-page woodcut on the titles' verso and the woodcut contained in a heart shaped border on A3v confirm it is a first edition. 12mo (128 x 73mm). Printer's device on title, initials and headpieces (light staining and spotting). Later half calf over blue paper boards (extremities lightly rubbed). Provenance: Camilla Solar (bookplate).
