Tyrannick Love, or The Royal Martyr, a heroic play by Dryden (1669).

Based on the legend of the martyrdom of St Catharine by the Roman emperor Maximin, it contains some of Dryden's most extravagant heroic verse. It was ridiculed in The Rehearsal, and by Shadwell. Dryden himself satirizes its excesses in MacFlecknoe.
