<l n=1> Prologue</l>
<l n=2> Ladies to you, in whose defence and right,</l>
<l n=3> Fletchers brave muse prepar'd her self to fight</l>
<l n=4> A battaile without blood, 'twas well fought too,</l>
<l n=5> (The victory's yours, though got with much ado,)</l>
<l n=6> We do present this Comedy, in which</l>
<l n=7> A rivulet to pure wit flowes, strong and rich</l>
<l n=8> In Fancy, Language, and all parts that may</l>
<l n=9> Adde grace and ornament to a merry Play.</l>
<l n=10> Which this may prove. Yet not to go too far</l>
<l n=11> In promises from this our female war,</l>
<l n=12> We do intreat the angry men would not</l>
<l n=13> Expect the mazes of a subtle plot,</l>
<l n=14 . . .
