EPILOGUE.
I am left to enquire, then to relateTo the still doubtful Author, at what rate
His marchandise are valued. If they prove
Staple Commodities in your Grace and love,
To this last birth of his Minerva, he
Vows, and we do believe him seriously,
Sloth cast of, and all pleasures else declin'd,
He'll search with his best care, until he finde
New ways, and make good in some labor'd Song,
Though he grow old, Apollo still is yong.
Cherish his good intentions, and declare
By any sign of favor, that you are
Well pleas'd, and with a general consent,
And he desires no more encouragement.
FINIS
