 | The Witch of Edmonton |  |
PROLOGUE.
The Town of Edmonton hath lent the StageA Devil and a Witch, both in an age.
To make comparisons it were uncivil,
Between so even a pair, a Witch and Devil.
But as the year doth with his plenty bring
As well a latter as a former Spring;
So has this Witch enjoy'd the first, and reason
Presumes she may partake the other season:
In Acts deserving name, the Proverb says,
Once good, and ever; Why not so in Plays?
Why not in this? since (Gentlemen) we flatter
No Expectation: here is Mirth and Matter.
Mr. Bird.
