MR. HAYNES His Recantation-Prologue Upon his first Appearance on the STAGE AFTER HIS RETURN from ROME . AS you dislikt the Converts of the Nation , That went to Rome , and left your Congregation ; By the same Rule , pray , kindly entertain Your Penitent lost Sheep return'd again : For Reconverted Haynes ( taught by the Age . ) Is now come back to 's Primitive Church — the Stage , And owns his Crimes ; that 's leaving in the Lurch His Mother Play-House , She 's my Mother Church . As Penitents some go from you to Rome , A Penitent from Rome to you I come ; Tho' I , from you to Rome , did never go As Renegate to Her , but Spy for you : For seeing the Beau's and Banterer's every Day , Tyr'd , even with themselves , in every Play , I went to Rome , to seek out Fops more new , And more Ridiculous than any of you , A Miracle from Rome I thought might do . Besides , when I left you , ye all design'd for Rome , But seeing you came not over — I came home , Like most of you , finding my self mistaken , I early tackt about to save my Bacon . Pox on 't , At Rome , a Godly Part they made me Play , A damn'd unnatural one for me you 'l fay , They wou'd not let me Drink , nor Roar , nor Swear , But fob'd me off with Penance and with Prayer ; Guess how that Penance went down with a Player . That ever any Player shou'd ha' the Face Ere to pretend to such a thing as Grace ! Never in all that time to break a Jest ! Nor ever drink one Bumper to the Best ! 't was very hard . Indeed th' Italian Nation Did put this Phiz a little out of Fashion : But yielding Nature , and this Tempting Place Confirms me Flesh and Blood now , ' spite of Grace ; Therefore Dear Loving Sisters of the Pit , Again , your Brother Renegade admit ; And don't esteem me less , 'cause I did live Where Sawcy Boys claim your Prerogative . No Sisters , no , I ne'r turn'd Heretick — in Love at least To Decent Whoring kept my Thoughts still Chast . For you , Pert Gallants , who are daily known To love all Whores — But her of Babylon . You 'le ne'r damn Haynes for his Religion ; For to make us of any , Me or You , Were such a Miracle Rome ne'r could do . Well Sirs , Being thus confess'd , and freed from Rome's Pollution , Kneeling I beg from your kind Hands , my Absolution .
