I come | no more | to make | you laugh,|
things^now,
,
, , ,
2 ,
That bear | a weigh|ty, and | a se|rious brow,
T T .
T , ,
,
Sad, high, and work|ing, full | of state | and
woe:
T Tx T
, ,
,
Such noble scenes | as draw | the eye | to flow
, ,
, , ,
We now | present.| Those that | can pit|y, here
,
, , ,
,
May (if | they think | it well)| let^fall | a
tear,
,
, ,
, ,
The sub|ject* will | deserve | it. Such | as give
,
, ,
, ,
Their mon|ey out | of hope | they may | believe,
, ,
,
, ,
May* here | find^truth | too. Those^|that come |
to see ??
,
, ,
, ,
Only | a show | or two,| and so | agree,
, , , ,
, o
The play | may pass:| if they | be still | and wil|ling,
, ,
, , ,
o
I'll und|ertake | may see | away | their
shil|ling (hex with prev)

T T T ,
Richly | in two | short hours. On|ly they
,
, , ,
,
That come | to hear | a mer|ry, baw|dy play,
,
, , , x
A noise | of tar|gets: or | to see | a fellow
,
, ,
, x
In a / long mot|ley coat,| guarded | with yellow,
,
, , ,
,
Will be | deceived.| For gent|le hear|ers, know
, ,
, ,
,
To rank | our chos|en truth | with such | a show
, ,
, , ,
As fool,| and fight | is, be/side for|feiting
, ,
2 , ,
,
Our own | brains, and | the opin|ion that | we
bring
, , ,
, ,
To make | that on|ly true,| we now | intend,
,
x , ,
,
Will leave | us never | an und|erstand|ing friend.
, ,
, ,
2 ,
Therefore,| for good|ness' sake,| and as | you
are known
, ,
2 , ,
,
The first | and hap|piest hear|ers of | the town,
, ,
, ,
,
Be sad,| as we | would make | ye: think | ye see
, ,
, ,
, ->
The ve|ry pers|ons of | our nob|le sto||ry,
, 2
, ,
, ,
As | they were liv|ing: think | you see | them
great,
, , , , ,
And fol|lowed with | the gene|ral throng,| and
sweat
, ,
, , ,
Of thous|and friends:| then, in | a mo|ment, see
, ,
, T T Tx
How soon | this might|iness,| meets misery:
,
, ,
, ,
And if | you can | be mer|ry then,| I'll say,
, ,
, ,
,
A man | may weep | upon | his wed|ding day.
