PROLOGUE

TO TR TRAGI-COMEDY OF "THE DWARF OF NA
PLES,'. PERFORMED AT DRURY-LANE ON SATUR.

DAY EVENING

SPOKEN BY NIR. H. KEMBLIi.

In the old times, when Alhion's Muse was young,
Wild, yet as simple, was the tale she sung;
She harp'd no songs of wonder, she laid nut
Her hopes of glory on a tangled pint,
That only seeks to captivate, surprise,
And starves the reason, while it feeds the eyes;
Man and his passions were her fancy's theme,
Now sad, now gay, as in life's moth• dream ;
With us grown proud, as feeble, she disdains
To mingle with her laughing sister's strains.
Fain would our humble imitation weave
Songs like the past—hut oh, such hopes deceive I
The Moon may borrow lustre from the day—
But how unlike the Sun its stolen ray;
The lake may image, in its still clear stream,
The clouds that change, like shadows of a stream;
It may reflect their forms, but not the bright,
Th' ethereal hues, shed from the star of light;
The art divine of colours may aspire,
To give the shape of beauty, not the fire,
That lends a living lustre to the eye,
Deathless itself tho' that it feeds must die-.
So with the Bard—his utmost hope to raise
A twilight from the sun of better days—
With simple tale, with passion for our theme,
Dark and tempestuous as the torrent stream.
We woo the favour we so oft have found,
Not on a classic, hut on British ground ;
Prouder of SHAKSPEARE and of GAtiamtes fame,
Than the rain shadow's of a classic name—
Fearing, yet hoping—trembling, yet resigo'd,
We stand—be just—he more than just—he kind !

EPILOGUE,
SPOKEN BY MRS. WitsT AND MRS. ORDER

Elder Mrs. frest, P. S.
Airs. W. Sent by Melpomene from " Lethe's" wharf
To canvass for her favourite, the Dwarf,
I come your awful fiat lo

To learn the i►suc of this evening's poll,
And ask your suffrages.
Enter M. Urger, 0. F.

And I attend

To back the motion of my learned friend.
No novice now, to you, our special jury,
I nominate the Dwarf M.P. for Drury.
Mr.t. W. His five-foet figure lowers him not a tittle,
Like Alexander, he's both great and little.
Arm 0. And tho' I cannot in •his praise rehearse
That he ne'er dips into the Playhouse purse;
Yet this I will say, of this fact I'm sure,
The place he holds is not a sinecure.
Mrs. TV. He.', an M.P. of all M.P.'s to. suit
Witness his labour in the run of Brutus !
Herell 'Sc rare sport !
Those symptoms of affection
Portend a second fifteen days election !
Mrs. 0. True 1 and 1 mean, if you your aid unite,
Tappear upon these hustings every night,
Airs. W. Agreen ! tho' nightly by Malvesi
Nightly CB rise in Epilogue again,
Our sex too long to men have yielded way. -
Mrs. 0. Hear ! hear!
Mrs. time to re-assume our sway':
One Bard has sung (we all should join to shame
him),
That women hare no snits !
Oh ! name him ! name him !
Heedless themselves on what extremes they border,
So that they keep their wives in " order ! •

Mrs. 0.
files. fr.

Mrs. W.

Order!"
At least in polling women should have choices.
Mrs. 0. They hare !
Mrs. fl". --- No surely !
Mrs. 0. Yes !
Mrs. Ir.
Mrs. 0. -----... No, voices.
Mrs. IV. Were we M.P.'s we'd soon make matters even,
And speak on every question. -
Mrs. 0. ----- Poor Saint Steven!
Mrs. P. But now wives bend while loudly husbands storm,
Airs. 0. Ave ! There I vote for Radical Reform !
Mrs. IV. Hush ! not so loud !—You'll anger our protectors,
Men don't conic here to stiff. r curtniu lectures;
If we say more. the married part o' the town
Will mutter " Spoke ! spoke! spoke!" and cough
us down.
(Prompter's bell rings.)
Mrs. fr. But bark ! we're summon'd! you hare chosen the
Poet---(To the Argrliew ()
High Bailiff, I retire to let him know it.
(xit. P.
Mrs. 0. High Bailiff! ugly sound ! "Oh woldE
of fear')
Doubtless " unpleasing to a Poet's ear."
Friends and Electors! who the good cause feel,
Come to our poll to-morrow will; flesh zeal.
We ne'rr enforce whatever crowd endangers,
" The standinz Order for excluding strangers."
Don't mind the min ! as valiant as Hephestion
" You'll find me here to answer every question."
Here ends my suit : one word ere off I move;
Sumll thing,: grow great when those we love ap-
prove:
So, if you greet our Play with temper pliant,
Our "Dwarf of Naples" is an Irish Giant.
(Exit P. S.)
