PROLOGUE SPOKEN BY A GREAT PERSONAGE BEFORE THE TRAGEDY OF
CATO, IN THE YEAR 1749, WHEN HE PERFORMED THE PART OF
PORTIUS.
To speak with freedom, dignity and ease, 
To learn those arts which may hereafter please, 
Wise authors say-- Let youth, in earliest age, 
Rehearse the poet's labours on the stage.
