[PROLOGUS, spoken]
Playgoers, I bid you welcome. The theatre is a temple, and we are here to worship the gods of comedy and tragedy. Tonight, I am pleased to announce a comedy. We shall employ every device we know in our desire to divert you.
(sung)
Something familiar
Something peculiar
Something for everyone—a comedy tonight!
Something appealing
Something appalling
Something for everyone—a comedy tonight!
Nothing with kings
Nothing with crowns;
Bring on the lovers, liars and clowns
Old situations
New complications
Nothing portentous or polite
Tragedy tomorrow
Comedy tonight!
Something convulsive
Something repulsive
Something for everyone
[PROLOGUS & PROTEANS]
A comedy tonight!
