I should like to dedicate this little book to the Twins’ brothers and sisters: especially to their sister Dolores, who was rarely absent from their thoughts—or they from hers.

Degno è che dov’è l’un l’altro s’induce Si, che com’ elli ad una militaro, Cosi la gloria loro insieme luca. Dante, Paradiso, xii., 34-36.
Ah, that Sir Humphry Gilbert should be dead: Ah, that Sir Philip Sidney should be dead: Ah, that Sir William Sackeuill should be dead: Ah, that Sir Richard Grenuile should be dead: Ah, that brave Walter Deuoreux should be dead: Ah, that the Flowre of Knighthood should be dead, Which, maugre deadlyest Deathes, and stonyest Stones, That coouer worthiest worth, shall neuer dy. Gabriel Harvey, 1592.
