PROLOGUE.[2]

AMONGST the Grecians there were annual feasts,

To which none were invited, as chief guests,

Save princes and their wives. Amongst the men,

There was no argument disputed then,

But who best governed; and, as’t did appear,

He was esteemed sole sovereign for that year.

The queens and ladies argued at that time

For virtue and for beauty which was prime,

And she had the high honour. Two here be,

For beauty one, the other majesty,

Most worthy (did that custom still persever)

Not for one year, but to be sovereigns ever.
