First sentence: THIS Poem was the last Piece of Service, which I had the Honour to do, for my Gracious Master, King Charles the Second: And though he liv'd not to see the Performance of it, on the Stage; yet the Prologue to it, which was the Opera of Albion and Albanius, was often practis'd before Him at Whitehal, and encourag'd by His Royal Approbation.
