Epilogve.

The office of an Epilogue, is now
To smooth &, stroke the wrinckles frō each brow;
To guide severer judgements (if wee could
Be wise enough) untill they thought all good,
Which they perhaps dislike; And sure, this were
An over-boldnesse, rais'd from too much Feare.
You have a Freedome, which wee hope you'l use,
T'advance our youthfull Poet, and his Muse
With a kind Doome; And hee'l tread boldly then
In's best new Comick Socks, this Stage agen.
