               And for a preface I never heard a better.



              THESEUS
               Schoolmaster, I thank you. − One see ’em all rewarded. [150]



              PIRITHOUS
               And here’s something to paint your pole withal.

                                                                                                           train.
               Come, we are all made. Dii deaeque omnes,
