Here you will find the Poem Written At TunbridgeWells, To The Right Honourable The Lady Barbara North of poet Mary Barber
Faint--Fair, and act a Play. In some few Hours we must repair, To act, like Thespis, in the Fair: And, as our Stage is of a Piece With that transmitted down from Greece, Some Pow'r celestial must unfold Our Fable, too obscurely told: And, since it helps the Poet's Art, When Actors speak and look their Part; Wonder not, fair One, that we sue, The Goddess may be play'd by you.
