Tyrannick Love
Tyrannick Love, or The Royal Martyr is a tragedy by John Dryden in rhymed couplets, first acted in June 1669, and published in 1670.

Dryden reportedly wrote the play in only seven weeks. The play was a major success, and was acted for 14 days straight. The work was revived in 1677, 1686, 1694, and 1702.
