(Occasional Prologue for the young gentlemen of the College
of Philadelphia, who for their improvement in oratory, acted
Alfred, in January 1757.)
(Spoken by W. Hamilton, entering hastily and interrupting
the music.)
Peace with you fiddling there--It shall be spoke:
A play without a prologue is joke.
As well might prudent Portia leave her fan
That hides her from the naughty creature--man.
