The PROLOGUE.
Gentlemen, and Ladies,
Perhaps
You'll Our Master's in the Wrong,
To let Us Speak who are so Very Young:
To let Us here a Pastoral rehearse,
Before We've any Knowledge of a Verse.
Thus Some may say—but Those of more Discerning
Know 'tis the Way to Cheat Us into Learning.

Then, Ladies, still We hope You'll be so Good,
As not to nip Us in the Tender Bud;
But smile at Our Attempt , espouse Our Cause ,
And crown Our Little Labours with Applause.
