Epilogue.
[The Play is damn'd; well, That we look'd to hear]
The Play is damn'd; well, That we look'd to hear,Yet Gentlemen, pray be not too severe.
Though now the Poet at your Mercy lies,
Fates wheel may turn, and she may chance to rise.
Though she's an humble Suppliant now to you,
Yet time may come, that you to her may Sue.
Pardon small Errors, be not too unkind,
For if you be, she'l keep it in her mind;
The self same usage that you give her Play,
She'l copy back to you another day.
If you her Wit, or Plot, or Fancy blame,
VVhen you Addresses make, She'l do the same;
But if you'l Clap the Play, and Praise the Rime,
She'l do as much for you another time.
