EPILOGVE.
We would faine please yee, and as faine be pleasd;Tis but a little liking, both are easd:
Wee have your money, and you have our ware,
And to our understanding good and faire:
For your owne wisdomes sake, be not so mad,
To acknowledge ye have bought things deere and bad:
Let not a brack 'th stuffe, or here and there,
The fading glosse, a generall losse appeare:
We know yee take up worse Commodities,
And deerer pay, yet thinke your bargains wise;
Wee know in Meate and Wine, yee fling away
More time and wealth, which is but deerer pay,
And with the Reckoning all the pleasure lost.
We bid yee not unto repenting cost:
The price is easie, and so light the Play,
That ye may new digest it everyday.
Then noble friends, as yee would choose a Mistris,
Only to please the eye a while and kisse,
Till a good wife be got: So let this Play
Hold yee a while, untill a better may.
