From isles of Greece The princes orgulous, their high blood chafd, Have to the port of Athens sent their ships Fraught with the ministers and instruments Of cruel war. Sixty and nine that wore Their crownets regal from the Athenian bay Put forth toward Phrygia; and their vow is made To ransack Troy, within whose strong immures The ravishd Helen, Menelaus queen, With wanton Paris sleepsand thats the quarrel. To Tenedos they come, And the deep-drawing barks do there disgorge Their war-like fraughtage. Now on Dardan plains The fresh and yet unbruised Greeks do pitch Their brave pavilions: Priams six-gated city, Dardan, and Tymbria, Ilias, Chetas, Troien, And Antenorides, with massy staples And corresponsive and fulfilling bolts, Stir up the sons of Troy. Now expectation, tickling skittish spirits On one and other side, Trojan and Greek, Sets all on hazard. And hither am I come A prologue armd, but not in confidence Of authors pen or actors voice, but suited In like conditions as our argument, To tell you, fair beholders, that our play Leaps oer the vaunt and firstlings of those broils, Beginning in the middle; starting thence away, To what may be digested in a play.
