The Two Noble Kinsmen

New Playes, and Maydenheads, are neare a kin, Much follow’d both, for both much mony g’yn, If they stand sound, and well: And a good Play (Whose modest Sceanes blush on his marriage day, And shake to loose his honour) is like hir That after holy Tye and first nights stir Yet still is Modestie, and still retaines More of the maid to sight, than Husbands paines;

新剧本和处女头，两者关系密切，两者都被广泛追随，因为两者都能带来很多金钱，如果它们保持健全和良好：一个好的剧本（其谦逊的场景在它的婚礼之日脸红，并且害怕失去它的荣誉）就像她，在神圣的结合和第一夜之后，仍然保持纯洁，比起丈夫的痛苦，更多地保留了处女的面貌；

If we let fall the Noblenesse of this, And the first sound this child heare, be a hisse, How will it shake the bones of that good man, And make him cry from under ground, ‘O fan From me the witles chaffe of such a wrighter That blastes my Bayes, and my fam’d workes makes lighter Then Robin Hood!’

如果我们让这高贵的东西倒下，而这孩子听到的第一个声音是嘘声，这将如何震动那位好人的骨头，并让他从地下哭喊，‘哦，远离我这个愚蠢的麦秆，这个作者的吹嘘，让我的桂冠和著名的作品变得比罗宾汉还要轻！’
