| Notes: |
Libretto only.
The music, composed by Purcell, "was never published, and it disappeared, probably within a very few years of its production"--DNB.
Sequel to Albion and Albanius, written for Charles II, who died before its performance. In 1691 it was produced, altered to the times by the omission of political overtones. Cf. DNB.
