'Locustæ' in Latin hexameters. English version with separate
titlepage at sig. D 2. 'The Locusts, or Apollyonists. By Phineas
Fletcher of Kings Colledge in Cambridge. Printed by Thomas Bucke

Epistle dedicatory to Lady Townshend, signed P. F. Commendatory
verses signed H. M. In 1902 Mr B. Dobell had a MS. of the Latin
portion containing an unpublished dedication to Prince Henry. This
version, which presented variations from the printed text, must
therefore have been written before Nov. 1612.
