Soon after Southwell's death, "St Peter's Complaint with other poems" appeared, printed by John Windet for John Wolfe, but without the author's name. A second edition, including eight more poems, appeared almost immediately. Then on 5 April, John Cawood, the publisher of "Mary Magdalen's Funeral Tears," who probably owned the copyright all along, entered the book in the Stationers' Register, and brought out a third edition. "Saint Peter's Complaint" proved even more popular than "Mary Magdalen's Funeral Tears"; it went into fourteen editions by 1636. Later that same year, another publisher, John Busby, having acquired a manuscript of Southwell's collection of lyric poems, brought out a little book containing a further twenty-two poems, under the title "Maeoniae". When in 1602 Cawood added another eight poems to his book, the English publication of Southwell's works came to an end. Southwell's "Of the Blessed Sacrament of the Altar", unpublishable in England, appeared in a broadsheet published at Douai in 1606. "A Foure fould Meditation of the foure last things", formerly attributed to Southwell, is by Philip Earl of Arundel. Similarly, the prose "A Hundred Meditations of the Love of God", once thought to be Southwell's, is a translation of Fray Diego de Estella's "Meditaciones devotisimas del amor de Dios".
