The following PROLOGUE was Spoken to the Dramatic Pastoral, called the Winter's Tale, and this Comedy; both of which are altered from Shakespear, and were perform'd the same Night.

Some of the Lines of the PROLOGUE are only relative to the Winter's Tale, yet as the Publication of that Pastoral is defer'd for some Time, and as the PROLOGUE has been particularly desir'd, it is hop'd that it will not be disagreeable to the Reader to see it prefix'd to this Comedy.
