Epilogue.
You
see our Ladies now are vanished,
And gone, perchance, unto their Husbands Bed
Convinc'd of guilt: where if they cannot tame
Their loose desires, but still retain the Name
Of Alimony Ladies; you shall hear,
They will not forfeit what they hold so dear,
Prohibited delights: and in that stain
With blushless dalliance visit you again.
Nor shall we build on these our confidence
And gone, perchance, unto their Husbands Bed
Convinc'd of guilt: where if they cannot tame
Their loose desires, but still retain the Name
Of Alimony Ladies; you shall hear,
They will not forfeit what they hold so dear,
Prohibited delights: and in that stain
With blushless dalliance visit you again.
Who give less reins to Reason then to Sense:
Yet for redemption of their Husbands Lands,
Seal our Acquittance with your graceful hands.
