<1The Prologue.>1
First helth and successe w<2i>2t<2h>2 many agoode newe yeare,
Wissed vnto all this moste noble presence
I have more tentreate<sI>s youe of gentle Sufferaunce,
That this our matier may have quyet vtterauce.
we that are thactours have <2our>2selves dedicate
with some Christmas devise yo<2ur>2 spirites to recreate
And our poete trusteth the thinge we shall recyte
maye w<2i>2thowte offence the hearers myndes delyte.
In dede no man speaketh word<2es>2 so well fore pondred
But the same by some meanes maye be misconstred,
Nor nothinge so well ment, but that by somme p<2re>2tence
ytt maie be wronge interp<2re>2ted from the auctors sence.
But let this be taken no wurse then yt ys mente
|p
And I hope nor we nor owre poete shalbe shente.
But nowe of thargumente to towch a worde or twayne
t . . .
