Bajazet

Jean Racine (1639 - 1699)
Translated by Robert Bruce Boswell (1864 - 1933)

"The time to which this tragedy relates is much later than that of any other of Racine's historical plays. The capture of Babylon (or rather Bagdad) from the Persians by Sultan Amurath IV, on which the catastrophe of the plot depends, occurred only a year before the poet's birth, viz 1638."
