  Prologue - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sometimes the Elizabethan prologue was a highly elaborated poem; in 1603 a harbinger recited a sonnet on the stage, to prepare the audience for Heywood's A Woman Killd 1eith Kindness.
Often the prologue was a piece of blank verse, so obscure and complicated that it is difficult to know how its hearers contrived to follow it; such are the prologues of George Chapman.
The prologues of the last thirty years of the 17th century were always written in rhymed verse, and were generally spoken by a principal actor or actress in the ensuing piece.

 SparkNotes: Romeo and Juliet: Prologue
The Prologue does not merely set the scene of Romeo and Juliet, it tells the audience exactly what is going to happen in the play.
The Prologue refers to an ill-fated couple with its use of the word “star-crossed,” which means, literally, against the stars.
But the Prologue itself creates this sense of fate by providing the audience with the knowledge that Romeo and Juliet will die even before the play has begun.

 [minstrels] Prologue -- Dylan Thomas
He has often been accused of deliberate obscurity, due to his technique of using words more for their connotations and rhythmic/melodic properties than for their 'meanings'; nevertheless, he remains one of the most popular poets of this century.
'Prologue' displays this quality in buckets, and underlying it all is Thomas' deep and abiding love for his Wales.

 News - GT4 Prologue priced and dated // PlayStation 2 /// Eurogamer
Interestingly, retail sources speaking to us recently have been told that gamers will actually have to pre-order the full GT4 in order to buy Prologue, such are the limited numbers involved, although they may qualify for a discount on the full game when it is eventually released.
However, such is the consternation amongst retailers about this move that Sony may be in the process of reconsidering this policy - and has failed to respond to our inquiries on the subject thus far.
On the driving front, the Prologue edition will include 46 driving tests and 64 cars, which is plenty, along with a "Making of GT4" movie previewing the full game at around the same time members of press and trade will be expecting to see it in action at the Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles.

 SparkNotes: Invisible Man: Prologue
The narrator introduces himself as an “invisible man.” He explains that his invisibility owes not to some biochemical accident or supernatural cause but rather to the unwillingness of other people to notice him, as he is fl.
Especially apparent is the influence of existentialism, a philosophy that originated in France in the mid-twentieth century, which sought to define the meaning of -individual existence in a seemingly meaningless universe.
In the Prologue, the narrator listens specifically to Armstrong’s “(What Did I Do to Be So) Black and Blue.” This track relates directly to Invisible Man on a thematic level, as it represents one of jazz’s earliest attempts to make an open commentary on the subject of racism.

Auditions followed, and a brand new Renaissance band was born in 1972 with the release of "Prologue." Although this was the first album for the new Renaissance, they definitely---and brilliantly---carried on in the same classical/rock style of the original group, so "Prologue" is definitely the third Renaissance album.
With founder Jim McCarty passing the torch to the new group by co-writing two songs on "Prologue," the third Renaissance album is a sparkling gem.
With "Prologue," Renaissance were reborn without missing a beat, the new version of the band just as phenomenal as their predecessors.
