Librettist - Worldcat guesses Mrs. Benjamin Dean Wyatt (about whom see Wikipedia article). However, this seems unlikely as the latter died unmarried (see Oxford Bio.) However, it seems she might be the same "Mrs. B. Wyatt" who provided the libretto to "The Warrior's Bride" with music by Nielson (New Monthly Belle Assemblée, Volume 4, 1836).
