Prologue

• Shakespeare. TO THE
  RIGHT HONORABLE HENRY WRIOTHESLY,
  Earl of Southampton, and Baron of Tichfield.

• Shakespeare. The love I dedicate to your lordship is without end; whereof
  this pamphlet, without beginning, is but a superfluous moiety. 5
  The warrant I have of your honourable disposition, not the worth
  of my untutored lines, makes it assured of acceptance. What I
  have done is yours; what I have to do is yours; being part in
  all I have, devoted yours. Were my worth greater, my duty would
  show greater; meantime, as it is, it is bound to your lordship, 10
  to whom I wish long life, still lengthened with all happiness.

• Shakespeare. Your lordship's in all duty,
  WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE.
