For such whose reason doe direct their thoughts Without selfe flattery , dare not hope it Baldwin , The fires of love which the dead Duke believed His equall care of both would have united , Ambition hath divided ;

The Prologue . THe DIVELL is an ASSE . That is , to day , The name of what you are met for , a new Play , Yet Grandee's , would you were not come to grace Our matter , with allowing us no place . Though you presume SATAN a subtill thing , And may have heard he worne in a thumb-ring ; Doe not on these presumptions , force us act , In compasse of a cheese-trencher . This tract Will ne're admit our vice , because of yours . Anone , who , worse then you , the fault endures That your selves make ? when you will thrust and spurne , And knocke us o' the elbowes and bid , turne ; As if , when we had spoke , we must be gone , Or , till we speake , must all runne in , to one ; Like the young adders , at the old ones mouth ? Would we could stand due North ; or had no South , If that offend : or were Muscovy glasse , That you might looke our Scenes through as they passe . We know not how to affect you . If you come To see new Plaies , pray you affoord us roome , And shew this , but the same face you have done Your deare delight the Divell of Edmunton . Or , if , for want of roome , it must mis-carry , will be but Iustice , that your censure tarry , Till you give some . And when six times you ha' seen , If this Play doe not like , the Divell is in .
THE DIVELL IS AN ASSE .
