[3] In 1566, Edwardes' Palamon and Arcite was performed before Elizabeth I at Oxford when the stage fell — three people died and five were injured as a result.
[4] The ladies were named as Howard, Dacres, Baynam, Arundel, Dormer, Mansell, Cooke, and Bridges.
[5] The verses are found in a British Library manuscript, (Cotton MS Titus A XIV), and were not included in the Paradise.
[6][7] Edwardes was less well known as a composer, but several of his compositions survive, including three pieces in the Mulliner Book: "O the syllye man," ascribed to him by the book, and two anonymous pieces usually attributed to him, "In goinge to my naked bedde" and "When grypinge griefes."
Other pieces include a song from Damon and Pithias, "Awake, ye woeful wights," and a setting of the Lord's Prayer in Richard Day's Psalter of 1563.
