The prologue to Tamburlaine the Great - so great they wrote a sequel.

Tamburlaine the Great (Prologue) - What's Past Is Prologue

A performance of the prologue to Tamburlaine the Great (later known as part 1 when the sequel is written) created by Christopher Marlowe in 1587 - recorded to frustrate everyone who wants to hear a full production, and as a sitting accusation to the world for not (necessarily) supplying one.
