THE PROLOGVE.
This Day we entreat All that are hither come,To expect no noyse of Guns, Trumpets, nor Drum,
Nor Sword and Targuet; but to heare Sence and Words,
Fitting the Matter that the Scene affords.
So that the Stage being reform'd, and free
From the lowd Clamors it was wont to bee,
Turmoyl'd with Battailes; you I hope will cease
Your dayly Tumults, and with vs wish Peace.
We stand a hazard now: yet being prepar'd,
We hope, for your owne good, you in the Yard
Will lend your Eares, attentiuely to heare
Things that shall flow so smoothly to your eare;
That you returning home, t'your Friends shall say,
How ere you vnderstand't, 'Tis a fine Play:
For we haue in't a Coniurer, a Deuill,
And a Clowne too; but I feare the euill,
In which perhaps vnwisely we may faile,
Of wanting Squibs and Crackers at their taile.
But howsoeuer, Gentlemen I sweare,
You shall haue Good Words for your Money here;
Stuffe that will last, we hope, and dy'd in graine:
And as yee lik't, pray know the House againe.
