       I come 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 motley 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 known
       The first and happiest hearers of the town,
       Be sad, as we would make ye. Think ye see
       The very persons of our noble story
       As they were living; think you see them great,
       And follow'd with the general throng and sweat
       Of thousand friends; then, in a moment, see
       How soon this mightiness meets misery.
       And if you can be merry then, I'll say
       A man may weep upon his wedding-day.
