The Epilogue.
We do confess your curiositiesHave purified the Stage, that otherwise
Had been all dross e're this; and nothing there
That might delight a curious Eye or Ear.
And we'ar so far from taking of it ill,
We thank you for it, pray be curious still:
So shall the Poet, and the Actors too,
In time become as curious as you.
For just as Judges by their rigidness,
Make men more carefull, and offend the less:
So do you, us, ith' Boxes and the Pit,
In whose verge chiefly it lies to judge of it.
Do then by this Play as y'are wont to do
By others; if't be bad, condemn it too:
If good, we hope you'l give some sign, that may
Declare your approbation of the Play.
FINIS.
