Note

An adaptation by Charles Gildon. "Davenant first combined portions of "Measure for Measure" and "Much Ado" and called the play "Law against Lovers". This appeared in 1673. Gildon took from this the portions which had been taken from "Measure for Measure", altered them somewhat, added four musical entertainments, and published it without acknowledgements to anyone."--Bartlett
