The Epilogue.

THus haue you seene the Makers double scope, To profit, and delight; wherein our hope Is, though the clout we doe not alwaies hit, It will not be imputed to his wit: A Tree so tri'd, and bent, as'twill not start. Nor doth he often cracke a string of Art, Though there may other accidents as strange Happen, the weather of your lookes may change, Or some high wind of mis-conceit arise, To cause an alteration in our Skyes; If so, we'are sorry that haue so mis-spent Our Time and Tackle, yet he'is confident, And vow's the next faire day, hee'll haue vs shoot The same match o're for him, if you'll come to't.
