Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Other People´s Windows: By Author of "the Gentle Life;" In his Prologue to the "Malcontent," John Marston, in a playful way, satirizes Shakspere by making a burlesque of the Epilogue to "As You Like It." I take it that in Elizabeth´s time the gallants were less gallant than at present, and usurped the easy seats, which they never do now, while the ladies had to stand; for Marston makes his Prologue say, "Gentlemen, I could wish, for the women´s sakes, that you had all soft cushions;" and he hopes that the "gentlewomen" -the good word was not then banished-were in comfort where they stood; but he adds, "What would they wish more but the play now? And that they shall have instantly". A prologue is like a preface, and hence it is cited. Few people attend to it.
