[A Prologue for Julius Caesar]
we Scarce dare hope in these censorious dayswith all our dilegence to gain Much Praise
is it for Boys to act the fatal Doom
of Julius cesar and the fall of Rome
213
we can expect no Pleasure from this Play
whoever thinks so, to your homes retire
and pelt your parts on those you please to hire
our Souls tho young are of a British Growth
they warmly breath[e] for Liberty & Scowth [OMITTED]
and beter things from such who early aim
to front these rising hieghts that lead to fame
Let others joly dron away their youth
grope throw the gloom whilst we in quest of truth
discover how Ill governd Passions cause
their slaves neglect Reson & virtues Laws
and hury them at Last throw all that evil
to Infamy destruction and the Devil
Taught by the Muse that clearly points our way
we change our times & place[s] can display
