To his worthy Friend, H. F. vpon his Notes from Black-Fryers.

Had the Black-Fryers beene still vn-suppressd,
I cannot thinke their Cloysters had bin blessd
With better contemplations: Seeing now
Lesse may be gleand from Puritanes then you
Haue gathered from the Play-house. And I must
(Though't bee a Players vice to be vniust,
To Verse not yeelding coyne) let Players know
They cannot recompence your labour: Though
They grace you with a Chayre vpon the Stage,
And take no money of you nor your Page.
For now the Humours which oppresse Playes most,
Shall (if the owners can feele shame) be lost:
And when they so conuerted doe allow,
What they dislik'd once, Players must thanke you,

And Poets too: for both of them will saue
Much in true Verse, which hisses might depraue:
Since you haue so refin'd their Audience,
That now good Playes will neuer neede defence.
Io: Stephens
