DEDICATION. TO HIS GRACE THE DUKE OF LEINSTER.
My Lord,
I have solicited your Grace's permission to dedicate this Tragedy to you, not merely on account of your exalted rank— though that is the highest in your native country; not merely on account of your condescension to literary men—though that has induced you to notice efforts even humble as mine; but, because to the scattered nobility of a deserted Country, you set the rare and illustrious example of a resident Irish Nobleman.
I have the honour to be,
My Lord,
Your Grace's very humble
and obedient Servant,
CHARLES ROBERT MATURIN.
