PROLOGUE.
A noble Company, for we can spy,Beside rich gawdy Sirs, some that rely
More on their Judgments, then their Cloathes, and may
With wit, as well as Pride, rescue our Play:
And 'tis but just, though each Spectator knows
This House, and season, does more promise shewes,
Dancing, and Buckler Fights, then Art, or Witt;
Yet so much taxt of both, as will befit
Our humble Theame, you shall receive, and such
As may please those, who not expect too much.
For when you but survey the narrow wayes
We walke in, you will find, we could not raise
From a few Seamen, wind-bound in a Port,
More various changes, business, or more sport.
