EPILOGUE, Spoken by Mrs Shireburne.

Custom commands that I should something say
In Favour of the Poet, and the Play:
Criticks! on you, our Author does depend,
Be you his Champions, and his Cause defend;
You know his Drift, if wrongheads should misplace it;
I'm bid to say, Qui capit ille facit.
Whate'er you please to censure or correct,
We shall amend with Pleasure and Respect:
But to our Failings, some Indulgence give,
And with one gen'rous Plaudit, bid us live.
