Jaq. and Ang.
Compassion to our woes impart,
Nor vainly let us sue;
The breast that owns a valiant heart,
Is still to pity true.
Capt.
Try no more this useful wailing,
Think not that my ears assailing
You my rugged heart can move.
Jaq. and Ang.
Kindly grant us freedom's blessing.
Capt.
Vain is all this earnest pressing.
Jaq. and Ang.
Joys that flow from mercy prove.
Capt.
Ne'er such weakness will I prove.
Learn that I drew my infant breath
Within the robber's cave;
And when too young to deal out death,
I dug the dead man's grave.
Then think you that a woman's tear
Can make this bosom feel?
I'm dead to pity as to fear,
My heart is cas'd with steel.
CHORUS.
Then think you that a woman's tear
Can make our bosoms feel?
We're dead to pity as to fear,

And for our sorrows feel;
To pity wake, though dead to fear,
Nor case your hearts with steel.","","""I'm dead to pity as to fear, / My heart is cas'd with steel""",5966,,"Searching ""heart"" and ""steel"" in HDIS (Drama)",2005-06-13 00:00:00 UTC,"","Act II, scene ii",Metal

Prologues were abstracts of their several Plays;

We talk of every thing but what's to come.
As for our Fable, little I'll unfold;
For out of little much cannot be told.
'Tis but one species in the wide extent
Of prejudice, at which our shaft is sent,
'Tis but this simple lesson of the heart--
