Excerpt from Worke for Cutlers; Or a Merry Dialogue Betweene Sword, Rapier and Dagger: Acted in a Shew in the Famous Universitie of Cambridge 1615 The following reprint of what, taking a hint from Beaumont and Fletcher, may be called a Combat of Wit at several Weapons, or, in still earlier language, a Wappenschaw - is from one of the rarest of early English plays, if so minute an opuscule may assert a claim to so dignified a title. My attention being drawn to Warke fir Cutler: in the modernised version of the Harlet'on Miscellany (io vols. 1808 - 191, I at first naturally accepted the current belief that the only known copy of the original (of which this is an exact line-for-line and word-for-word reproduction) was the one in the British Museum.

This edition of Worke for Cutlers was edited by Albert Forbes Sieveking and published in 1904, shortly after it had been staged (probably for the first time in 300 years) at Trinity Hall. The play was originally published anonymously in 1615, and was then described as 'Acted in a Shew in the famous Universitie of Cambridge'. Sieveking gives reasons to believe that Thomas Heywood, whose most famous work is A Woman Killed with Kindness (1603), had at least a part in its writing, and points out the topicality of 'A Merry Dialogue betweene Sword, Rapier and Dagger' at a time when James I was issuing edicts against duelling, which was punishable by heavy fines or even death. The short play is provided with a 'glossarial epilogue' containing explanatory notes.
