EPILOGVS.
As in a Feast, so in a Comedy,Two sences must be pleasd in both the eye,
In feasts, the eye and taste must be inuited,
In Comedies, the eye and eare delighted:
And he that onely seekes to please but eyther,
While both he doth not please, he pleaseth neyther.
What euer feast could euery 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 casd,
Who once made all, all rules, all neuer pleasd.
Faine would we please the best, if not the many,
And sooner will the best be pleasd then any:
Our rest we set in pleasing of the best,
So wish we you, what you may giue vs: Rest.
