Third Edition of this work to the public, I should like to say a few words of explanation as regards the joint authorship. The idea of the tale was suggested to me by finding Queen Elizabeth scommission to Thomas Gyles, in Dr. Burney s History of Music. My cousin, ALGERNON CHARLES SWINBURNE, was staying at my fathers house at the time (1864) ;and from the first conception of my story he took the greatest interest in it, finding historical details for me, correcting anachronisms, suggesting or amending names, costumes, and incidents. In short, not a sentence was written without being read by him, not an episode worked out without his advice. Finally he proposed, since the Children were to act a play, that he should himself write a MORALITY for them.
