Chapter 95 PROLOGUE TO ARVIRGUS AND PHILICIA REVIVED.

BY LODOWICK CARLELL, ESQ., 1690.

SPOKEN BY MR HART.

With sickly actors and an old house too,

We're match'd with glorious theatres and new;

And with our alehouse scenes, and clothes bare worn,

Can neither raise old plays, nor new adorn.

If all these ills could not undo us quite,

A brisk French troop is grown your dear delight;
