INTRODUCTION.
Cyril Torneur is known only as an author, none of the dramatic biographers giving any account of him. Winstanley quotes the following distich from a contemporary poet, by which it appears that he was not held in much estimation for his writings—
"His fame unto that pitch was only rais'd,
As not to be despis'd, nor over-prais'd."
He was the author of—
[(1.) The Transformed Metamorphosis, a Poem. 8o, London, 1600.[1]]
