Eastward Ho was entered into the Stationers' Register on 4 September 1605 and printed later that year in a quarto issued by the bookseller William Aspley, printed by George Eld.
An entry in the Stationers' Register dated 16 November 1630 transferred the rights to sixteen Shakespearean plays from Edward Blount, one of the publishers of the First Folio of Shakespeare's plays, to Robert Allot; these were sixteen of the eighteen plays in the First Folio that had not been previously published in quarto editions.
The preface to the 1609 quarto indicates that he played Blue John, a clown in the vein of Tarlton and Kempe; he also seems to have doubled in the role of Tutch, a witty fool of the type he later played in London.
Unusually, the masque was reprinted in a separate octavo edition in 1756.
