The Epilogue.
As in a Feast, so in a Comedy;Two Sences must be pleas'd, in both the Eye.
In Feasts, the Eye and Taste must be invited,
In Comedies, the Eye and Eare delighted:
And he that onely seekes to please but either,
While both he doth not please, he pleaseth neither:
What ever Feast, could every guest content:
When as t'each man, each Taste is different?
But lesse a Scene, where nought, but as 'tis newer,
Can please, where Guests are more, and Dishes fewer:
Yet in this thought, this thought the Author eas'd;
Who once made all, all rules, all never pleas'd:
Faine would we please the best, if not the many,
And sooner will the best be pleas'd, then any:
Our rest we set in pleasing of the best:
So we wish you, what you may give us: Rest.
FJNIS.
