EPILOGUE.
But now the greatest thing is left to do,More just Committee, to Compound with you;
For, till your equal censures shall be known,
The Poet's under Sequestration:
He has no Title to his small Estate
Of Wit, unless you please to set the Rate.
Accept this half years purchase of his Wit,
For in the compass of that time 'twas Writ:
Not that this is enough, he'l pay you more,
If you your selves believe him not too poor:
For 'tis your judgements gives him wealth, in this,
Hee's just as rich as you believe he is.
Wou'd all Committees cou'd have done like you,
Made men more rich, and by their payments too.
FINIS.
