Excerpt from Amor Patriae: A Dramatic Poem, Founded Upon, (and Partly Translated From) The "Attilio Regolo" On Metastasio
IN preparing, for the press, the following production, which was written upwards of six years ago, the Author deems it expedient to apprize the critical reader of its being the first ch'ort of his pen, either as a poet, dramatist, or translator; and, also, to state that, although he has thought proper to denominate it A Dramatic Poem (an appellation which, he trusts, its structure will render admissible) he has neither the wish, nor the power, to conceal the circumstance of its having been originally intended for an acting Tragedy that fact, (together with those of its having been accepted by the present Manager of Covent Garden Theatre, and approved by another distinguished Tragedian of high literary repute.)
