Excerpt from Plays and Poems Fortune, that favours fools, these two short hours We wish away, both for your sakes and ours, Judging Spectators and desire, in place, T 0 the author justice, to ourselves but grace. Our scene is London, 'cause we would make known NO country's mirth is better than our own NO clime breeds better matter, for your bore, Shark, squire, impostor, many persons more, Whose manners, now called humours, feed the stage, And which have still been subject for the rage Or spleen of comic writers. Though this pen Did never aim to grieve, but better, men Howe'er the age he lives in doth endure The vices that she breeds, above their cure. But when the wholesome remedies are sweet, And in their working gain and profit meet, He hopes to find no spirit so much diseased But will with such fair correctives be pleased For here he doth not fear who can apply. If there be any that will sit so nigh Unto the stream, to look what it doth run. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
