This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from John Dryden's work Tyrannick Love (1st edition, 1670). It can be used to create a link to an online version of the work at the Internet Archive.

The template takes the following parameters:

• |chapter= – if quoting from one of the chapters indicated in the second column of the following table, give the parameter the value indicated in the first column:

As the epistle dedicatory and preface are unpaginated, use |1= or |page= to specify the "page number" assigned by the Internet Archive to the URL of the webpage to be linked to. For example, if the URL is https://archive.org/details/tyrannickloveorr00dryd/page/n8/mode/1up, specify |page=8. (The prologue or epilogue are also unpaginated, but the template can determine the URL.)

• |1= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory: the page number(s) quoted from. If quoting a range of pages, note the following:
  • Separate the first and last page numbers of the range with an en dash, like this: |pages=10–11.
  • You must also use |pageref= to indicate the page to be linked to (usually the page on which the Wiktionary entry appears).

This parameter must be specified to have the template determine the act number (I–V) quoted from, and to link to the online version of the work.

• |act= – mandatory in some cases: in most cases, if the page number is specified the template can determine the the act number quoted from. However, it is unable to do so if page 11 or 19 is specified, in which case the act number must be manually specified in uppercase Roman numerals, like this: |act=I.

• |scene= – the scene number, if any, in lowercase Roman numerals. As the scene numbers are not clearly indicated in the work, they may be looked up in this 1882 edition of the work.
• |2=, |text=, or |passage= – the passage to be quoted.
• |footer= – a comment on the passage quoted.
• |brackets= – use |brackets=on to surround a quotation with brackets. This indicates that the quotation either contains a mere mention of a term (for example, "some people find the word manoeuvre hard to spell") rather than an actual use of it (for example, "we need to manoeuvre carefully to avoid causing upset"), or does not provide an actual instance of a term but provides information about related terms.
