The Passionate Pilgrim is an anthology of poems, published in 1599, which according to the title-page were "By W. Shakespeare".
The Passionate Pilgrim was published by William Jaggard, later the publisher of Shakespeare's First Folio.

The title page of this second edition states that the book is to be sold by stationer William Leake; Leake had obtained the rights to Shakespeare's Venus and Adonis in 1596 and published five octavo editions of that poem (the third edition through the eighth) in the 1599–1602 period.
Jaggard issued an expanded edition of The Passionate Pilgrim in 1612, contaning an additional nine poems though all nine were by Thomas Heywood, from his Troia Britannica, which Jaggard had published in 1609....
