Synopsis
Excerpt from Sir Walter Ralegh: A Tragedy in Five Acts
IF in this, a first - and perhaps a last - attempt to clamber up scapular Mamfam (the crags of the Muses), 'neath the awful gaze of Melpomene, the stately Muse of Tragedy, the author has occasionally been lured from the beaten Highway of History, he hopes that those who are familiar with the Life of Sir Walter Ralegh will not find in the following pages a reckless lapsing into the wilder regions of fiction and falsehood.
