To The Author on this his TRAGEDY.

Printed before 'tis Acted! such a tricke
As few men will judge to bee politicke.
But little reason for it wee can see,
Profit should grow contemptible with thee.
I read it, and it hath my vote for good;
Sure 'twas not by some others understood:
By whom I wish action might added be,
For that's the best life of a Tragedy.
Sure though they tyrant like did sentence give
Upon thy Mother, she deserves to live.
