A chast mayd in Cheape-Side : a pleasant conceited comedy neuer before printed : as it hath beene often acted at the Swan on the Banke-Side, by The Lady Elizabeth Her Seruants
A chast mayd in Cheape-Side is a 1630 London comedy by Thomas Middleton, printed by Francis Constable at the Crane in Pauls Churchyard for playgoers of the Swan theatre company. The pictures are mostly printers' ornaments: a woodcut decorative initial H with leafy scrollwork, a frieze of repeating foliate and arabesque bands, and a later bookplate of Thomas Pennant Barton; a designer might borrow the strapwork borders and the ornamental initial letter.
