By Alfred Lord Tennyson, Poet Laureate

BECKET
TO THE LORD CHANCELLOR, THE RIGHT HONOURABLE EARL OF SELBORNE.
MY DEAR SELBORNE,
To you, the honoured Chancellor of our own day, I dedicate this
dramatic memorial of your great predecessor;—which, altho’ not
intended in its present form to meet the exigencies of our modern theatre,
has nevertheless—for so you have assured me—won your
approbation.
Ever yours,
TENNYSON.
