Our Play will stand fair: we’ve Monsters too,

Which far exceed your [City Pope] for Show.

Almighty Rabble,’tis to you this Day

Our humble Author dedicates the Play,

From those who in our [lofty Tire] sit,

Down to the dull Stage-Cullies of the Pit,

Who have much Money, and but little Wit:

Whose useful Purses, and whose empty Skulls

To private Int’rest make ye Publick Tools;

To work on Projects which the wiser frame,
