Summary
Manuscript on paper, in a single copyist's hand, of a 557-stanza version of Hubert's poem, apparently closely resembling the pirated 1628 text. The pages are neatly margined and the stanzas numbered in the left margin; the text breaks off abruptly and a concluding stanza from the 1629 revision has been added in a contemporary secretary hand.
