Anonymous. By John Dryden.
"Mithridates King of Pontus" was written by Nathaniel Lee.
Verse - "After a four months fast we hope at length".
With Dryden's epilogue on verso.
Wing gives imprint date as "[1682]". However, the prologue and epilogue were presented at a performance of the play in mid-October, 1681, and presumably were published at that time.
