Another Prologue.
'Tis not amisse ere we begin our Play,
T' intreat you, that you take the same surveigh
Into your fancie, as our Poet took,
Of Covent-Garden, when he wrote his Book.
Some ten years since, when it was grown with weeds.
Not set, as now it is, with Noble Seeds.
Which make the Garden glorious. And much
Our Poet craves and hopes you will not grutch
It him, that since so happily his Pen
Foretold its faire emprovement, and that men
Of worth and honour should renown the place.
The Play may still retain its former grace.
