The Prologue.

If in this present thriving age,
A poore man may become the Stage;
Or if abused Charity
And honest minded poverty
May please, or if bad men ingrate,
And strumpets foule adulterate,
So whipt and punisht for their crimes,
At once may like and teach the times:
We have our nymes, so to your sight:
The poore man offers up his mite.
Per E. M.
