''"But pardon, and gentles all,\\
The flat unraised spirits that have dared\\
On this unworthy scaffold to bring forth\\
So great an object: can this cockpit hold\\
The vasty fields of France? or may we cram\\
Within this wooden O the very casques\\
That did affright the air at Agincourt?\\
O, pardon! since a crooked figure may\\
Attest in little place a million;\\
And let us, ciphers to this great accompt,\\
On your imaginary forces work...\\
Think when we talk of horses, that you see them\\
Printing their proud hoofs i' the receiving earth;\\
For 'tis your thoughts that now must deck our kings,\\
Carry them here and there; jumping o'er times,\\
Turning the accomplishment of many years\\
Into an hour-glass: for the which supply,\\
Admit me Chorus to this history;\\
Who prologue-like your humble patience pray,\\
Gently to hear, kindly to judge, our play."''
