<N 1> <D Prologue.>
<N 2> We need not noble Gentlemen to invite
<N 3> Attention, preinstruct you who did write
<N 4> This worthy Story, being confident
<N 5> The mirth joyn'd with grave matter, and Intent
<N 6> To yeild the hearers profit, with delight,
<N 7> Will speake the maker: and to do him right,
<N 8> Would aske a Genius like to his; the age
<N 9> Mourning his losse, and our now widdowed stage
<N 10> In vaine lamenting. I could adde, so far
<N 11> Behind him the most moderne writers are,
<N 12> That when they would commend him, their best praise
<N 13> Ruins the buildings which they strive to raise,
<N 14> To his best memory: so much a friend
<N 15> Presumes to write, secure 'twill not offend
<N 16> The living that are modest, with the rest
<N 17 . . .
