THE DEATH OF WALLENSTEIN
A TRAGEDY
IN FIVE ACTS
PREFACE OF THE TRANSLATOR
TO THE FIRST EDITION
The two Dramas, Piccolomini, or the first part of
Wallenstein, and Wallenstein, are introduced in the original
manuscript by a Prelude in one Act, entitled Wallenstein's
Camp. This is written in rhyme, and in nine-syllable verse, in
the same lilting metre (if that expression may be permitted) 5
with the second Eclogue of Spenser's Shepherd's Calendar.
