Brutus of Alba, or The Enchanted Lovers

Tate's own Dido and Aeneas play, renamed to avoid comparison with Virgil: Aeneas became Brutus, a figure of British legend, Dido the Queen of Syracuse, and the Sorceress was renamed Ragusa. He returned to the material a decade later for Purcell, and the libretto owes as much to this as to the Aeneid.
