The Epilogue.
Ther.A sweete exchange of Treasure, term't I may.
Euen earth for ashes, and meere dust for clay:
Let Aiax kill himselfe, and say 'twas braue
Hector, a worthy Call, yet could not saue
And Troilus boldly, all these braue ones dye.
Ha, ha, iudge you; Is it not better farre
To keepe our selues in breath, and linger warre:
Had all these fought as I'ue done, such my care
Hath beene on both sides, that presume I dare,
These had with thousands more suruiu'd: Iudge th'hoast,
I shed no blood, no blood at all haue lost:
They shall not see young Pirhus, nor the Queene
Penthiselea, which had they but beene
As wise as I, they might: nor Sinon, hee
Famous of all men, to be most like mee.
Nor after these, Orestes, and his mother
Pillades Egistus with a many other
Our second part doth promise: These if I fayle,
As I on them; you on Thersites rayle.
