notwithstanding_o his_o royal_a dignity_n or_o perhaps_o the_o soon_o for_o it_o therefore_o if_o darius_n move_v no_o pity_n i_o be_o afraid_a it_o be_v not_o his_o fault_n but_o i_o and_o he_o be_v once_o more_o fall_v into_o ill_a hand_n i_o be_o apt_a to_o think_v i_o commit_v a_o fault_n in_o not_o take_v the_o whole_a story_n but_o leave_v out_o queen_n statira_n and_o her_o two_o daughter_n high-born_a princess_n well_o know_v to_o the_o world_n who_o misfortune_n will_v have_v probable_o move_v more_o compassion_n than_o those_o of_o a_o strange_a lady_n obscure_o descend_v from_o my_o

tell_v i_o those_o princess_n have_v be_v already_o see_v very_o often_o their_o beauty_n will_v now_o seem_v stale_a and_o a_o new_a face_n be_v more_o agreeable_a my_o judgement_n at_o that_o time_n may_v be_v easy_o bear_v down_o for_o it_o be_v weak_a as_o i_o myself_o be_v by_o a_o redious_a sickness_n else_o i_o have_v not_o meddle_v with_o tragedy_n for_o there_o be_v nothing_o more_o plain_a than_o that_o the_o humour_n of_o the_o present_a age_n run_v quite_o to_o another_o extreme_a too_o far_o nor_o do_v the_o present_a company_n of_o actor_n abound_v with_o tragedian_n enough_o to_o master_v that_o humour_n and_o they_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o contend_v with_o it_o since_o they_o can_v please_v at_o a_o much_o cheap_a rate_n by_o farce_n and_o comedy_n and_o true_o so_o can_v i_o they_o cost_v i_o less_o pain_n than_o tragedy_n do_v but_o when_o i_o first_o meddle_v with_o this_o play_n and_o long_o after_o i_o be_v not_o in_o humour_n for_o comedy_n a_o poet_n like_o a_o fiddle_n will_v never_o sound_v merry_o in_o wet_a weather_n the_o treble_n which_o be_v the_o string_n for_o jig_n will_v nor_o endure_v stretch_v so_o i_o be_v force_v on_o

i_o will_v not_o be_v arrogant_a so_o not_o over-fawning_a because_o there_o be_v foppery_n and_o affectation_n in_o both_o a_o misfortune_n fall_v upon_o this_o play_n that_o may_v very_o well_o
