The text provides dramatis personae, a scene setting in Pavia, and an introduction describing how the 1633 quarto structures acts without scenes, while later editorial stage directions and settings are optionally adopted. The play opens with political commands affecting Roseilli and introduces court intrigue involving the duke, the duchess, and rival motives that shape the action.","[ElizabethanDrama.org](ElizabethanDrama.org)  \npresentsa Theatre Script of  \nLOVE’S SACRIFICE  \nBy JOHN FORD  \nWritten c. 1628-1632 Earliest Extant Edition: 1633  \n© [arrangement copyright Peter Lukacs and ElizabethanDrama.org](arrangement copyright Peter Lukacs and ElizabethanDrama.org), 2023.

As usual, we lean towards adhering to the wording of this earliest volume as much as possible.  \nWords or syllables which have been added to the original text to clarify the sense or repair the meter are surrounded by hard brackets [ ]; these additions are often adopted from the suggestions of later editors. A director who wishes to remain truer to the original text may of course choose to omit any of the supplementary wording.  \nThe 1633 quarto divides Love’s Sacrifice into Acts but not scenes, though the scene breaks are fairly obvious; nor does the quarto signal asides or identify settings. Settings and asides have been adopted from Havelock Ellis’Mermaid Series edition of 1888.  \nFinally, as is our normal practice, a good number of the quarto's stage directions have been modified, and others added, usually without comment, to give clarity to the action. Most of these changes are adopted from Ellis.  \nB.
