From the introduction: "The play, like so many others of the period, is a very complicated relation of several love stories. It contains some remarkable poetry for a schoolboy. From the beginning to the end there continually crops up the question what men's attitude should be towards a tyrant. Was revolution ever justified? Did it not inevitably lead to another tyranny? The solution comes in the closing lines of the play - and remarkably moving lines they are - when the remorseless ruler of the kingdom admits he has been mistaken, 'Too long I have practis'd Tyranny; Mercy hereafter shall become my study.'" The copy of Christopher Dobson, sometime librarian of the House of Lords, with his name marked by a printed red asterisk in the list of Members. Near Fine. Prospectus laid in.
