The Prologue.
Since that the Apes and Parrots of the Stage,Are silenc'd by the Clamours of the Age;
Like Conies forc'd to feed on Bran and Grass,
(The true Desciples of Pithagoras)
Whose Copper-Lace, and Copper-Noses once
Made them to think themselves great Prester-Johns:
You'l (sure) have cause to praise, and thank that man
Can make each Thief a compleat Roscian:
Then much good doe't you (Sirs) fall to and eat,
You ne're had cheaper (perhaps) better meat.
