WHo
sayes
the
Times
do
Learning
disallow
?
'T
is
false
:
'T
was
never
honoured
more
then
now
.
When
you
appear
(
great
Prince
)
the
Night
is
done
,
You
are
our
Morning
Starre
;
shall
be
our
Sunne
.
But
our
Scean
's
London
now
,
and
by
the
Rout
We
perish
,
if
the
Round-heads
be
about
.
For
now
no
Ornament

the

must
wear
No
Bayes
,
no
Myter

scarce
so
much
as

How
can
a
Play
passe
safely
?
when
we
know
Cheap-side
Crosse
fals
,
for
making
but
a
show
.
Our
only
hope
is
this
,
that
(
it
may
be
)
A
Play
may
passe
,
't
was
made
ex
tempore
.
Though
other
Arts
poor
and
neglected
grow
,
They
'l
admit
Poesie
,
which
was
ever
so
.
But
we
contemn
the
fury
of
these
dayes
,
And
scorn
as
much
their
Censure
,
as
their
praise
.
Our
Muse
(
blest
Sir
)
doth
now
on
you
rely
,
'T
would
gladly
live
;
but
not
refuse
to
die
.
Accept
our
hearty
zeal
,
a
thing
that
's
plaid
Ear't
was
a
play
,
and
acted
ere
t'
was
made
:
Our
Ignorance
,
but
our
duty
too
we
show
,
I
would
all
ignorant
people
would
do
so
.
At
other
times
expect
our
wit
or
Art
,
The
Comedy
is
acted
by
the
heart
.
THE
EPILOGVE
.
THe
Play
great
Sir
,
is
done
,
it
needs
must
fear
,
Though
you
brought
all
your
mercies
here
▪
It
may
offend
your
Highnesse
,
we
have
now
Three
hours
done
Treason
here
for
ought
we
know
;
But
powr
your
Grace
,
can
above
Nature
give
,
I
,
can
give
power
to
make
Abortives
live
.
In
which
if
our
bold
wishes
should
be
crost
,
'T
is
but
the
life
of
one
poor
week
that
's
lost
:
Though
it
should
fall
beneath
your
potent
scorn
,
Scarce
can
it
dye
more
quickly
then
t'
was
born

How

O

Do
they
not
Learning
from
their
Doctrine
sever
?
Ever
.
Yet
they
pretend
that
they
do
edifie

But

The
