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 Pow'r celestial 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 play'd by you.
