Written at Tunbridge-Wells, To the Right Honourable the Lady Barbara North, Occasion'd by Some of the Company's Saying They Would go to Faint-Fair, and Act a Play
In some few Hours we must repair
To act, like THESPIS, in the Fair:
And, as our Stage is of a Piece
With that transmitted down from Greece ,
Some Power Coelestial must unfold
Our Fable, too obscurely told;
And, since it helps the Poet's Art,
When Actors speak and look their Part;
Wonder not, Fair One, that we sue,
The Goddess may be plaid by you.
