Reseña del editor

Excerpt from Shakespeare's Dramatick Works, Vol. 6: Containing, King Henry VIII, Coriolanus, Julius Caesar, Antony and Cleopatra; Illustrated With Notes

I coma no more to make you laugh things now, That bear a weighty and a serious brow, Sad, high, and working, full of state and woe, Such noble scenes, as draw the eye to flow, We now present. Those, that can pity, here May, if they think it well, let fall a tear The subject will deserve it. Such, as give Their money out of hope they may believe, May here find truth too. Those, that come to see Only a show or two, and so agree, The play may pass; if they be still, and willing, I'll undertake, may see away their shilling Richly in two short hours. Only they, That come to hear a merry, bawdy play, A noise of targets or to see a fellow In a long motle coat, guarded with yellow,' Will be deceiv d: for, gentle hearers, know, To rank our chosen truth with such a show As fool and fight is,' beside forfeiting Our own brains, and the opinion that we bring, (to make that only true 'we now intend,) Will leave us never an understanding friend. Therefore, for goodness' sake, and as you are knowh The first and happiest hearers of the town.
