HOST:
Plays are like feasts, and every act should be
1
Another course, and still variety:
But, in good faith, provision of wit
Is grown of late so difficult to get
That, do we what we can, we are not able
Without cold meats to furnish out the table.
Who knows but it was needless too? maybe,
7
'Twas here, as in the coachman's trade; and he
That turns in the least compass shows most art,
Howe'er, the poet hopes, sir, for his part,
You'll like not those so much who show their skill
In entertainment, as who show their will.
