To the deseruing Author.
VVHen I respect thy argument, I seeAn Image of those Times: but when I viewThe wit, the workemanship, so rich, so true,The Times themselues do seeme retriu'd to me.And as Seianus, in thy Tragedie,Falleth from Caesars grace; euen so the CrewOf common Play-wrights, whom Opinion blewBig with false greatnesse, are disgrac'd by thee.Thus, in one Tragedie, thou makest twaine:And, since faire workes of Iustice fit the partOf Tragick writers, Muses doe ordaineThat all Tragedians, Maisters of their Arte,Who shall hereafter follow on this tract,In writing well, thy Tragedie shall acte.
