The offenders were threatened with imprisonment in default of compliance with the judgement, but Jaggard cheerfully paid his share of the fine on Sept. 7, 1601, and purged his offence. Cf. *Arber*, ii. 831, 833.\n\n² The preposition ‘for’ in the imprint of Elizabethan books usually precedes the name of the proprietor of the copyright.\n\n<!-- [Page 302](arke:01KG6QFYFQP14ZF5X1H8Z98EME) -->\nTHE PASSIONATE PILGRIM 13\n\nHarrison, who had bought it from its first holder, Richard Field, three years before. Leake retained his property in Shakespeare’s earliest printed book for nearly twenty-one years. His first edition of *Venus and Adonis* appeared in 1599, in the same year as the first edition of *The Passionate Pilgrim*, and on the title-pages of both volumes figured his address—‘the Greyhound in Paules Churchyard.’ Thus in 1599, a year after Leake was clothed with the livery of his Company, two newly printed volumes, which were identified with Shakespeare’s name and fame, adorned for the first time the shelves of his shop in St. Paul’s Churchyard.\n\nThe unnamed printer of *The Passionate Pilgrim* was doubtless Peter Short, who had printed for Jaggard the only volume of verse which he is known to have undertaken previously, viz. *Hunnies Recreations*, in 1595. Short also printed for Jaggard his first book, *Dove’s Sermon*, in 1594. Short’s printing office was at ‘the Star on Bread Street Hill, near to the end of Old Fish St.’; his business was a large one and many volumes of verse came from his press. Not only had he printed recently the work of the poets Spenser and Daniel, but he had produced for Leake the two editions of *Venus and Adonis* which appeared respectively in 1599 and 1602, as well as Harrison’s edition of Shakespeare’s *Lucrece* in 1598. More than one song-book, with the literary contents of which *The Passionate Pilgrim* had close affinity, also came from his press—one in the same year as Jaggard’s miscellany, viz. *Ayres for four Voyces* composed by Michael Cavendish.²\n\nThe typographical quality of the first edition of Jaggard’s\n\n---\n\n¹ These premises enjoyed a traditional fame. They had been long in John Harrison’s occupation, until at the close of 1596 Leake took them over; he remained there till 1602.\n\n² Cf. *Peter Short, Printer, and his Marks*, by Silvanus P.
