Frank J. Wilstach, comp.  A Dictionary of Similes.  1916.
 
Prologue
 
Prologues, like compliments, are loss of time;
’Tis penning bows and making legs in rhyme.
            —David Garrick		  1
Prologues are like a forlorn hope, sent out
Before the play, to skirmish and to scout.
            —Pierre A. Motteux		  2
