 | The Scourge of Folly |  |
Epig. 205. To the Roscius of these times, Mr. W. Ostler.
Ostler thou tookst a knock, thou would'st haue giu'nNeere sent thee to thy latest home: but O!
Where was thine Action when thy Crowne was riu'n
Sole King of Actors; then, wast idle? No:
Thou hadst it, for thou wouldst bee doing; Thus
Good Actors Deeds are oft most dangerous;
But if thou plaist thy dying Part as well
As thy Stage-parts, thou hast no Part in hell.
