EPILOGUS.
As soon as the Court-scene closed, and had as it were bid good-night to Action and Invention, Prince-Misrule-Atlas (now left singly on the Stage) presents the Audience with a Caution or two, by the Horarie Advise of his Quadrant: which being elevated to a just height, he calculates the howrs of the day, 3 of clock, 33 min. and 3 digits. Then warns them, Maturare Reditum, imminet ursa; to hasten homewards, lest Αρτοφυλαξ the Keeper of the great Bear meet with them after All. The Beare being a starting-enemy to the Coach-Horse; and Twilight a dangerous time for Caps. Venit Hesperus ite.So Atlas bids his Star-like Guests Adieu,
As you have shin'd on Us this Day,
With friendly Infùence: So may
The New year shine on You.
FINIS.
