THE EPILOGVE.
TIs ten to one, this Play can neuer please
All that are heere: Some come to take their case,
And sleepe an Act or two; but those we feare
W' haue frighted with our Tumpets: so 'tis cleare,
They'l say tis naught. Others to heare the City
Abus'd extreamly, and to cry that's witty,
Which wee haue not done neither; that I feare
All the expected good w' are like to heare.
For this Play at this time, is onely in
The mercifull construction of good women,
For such a one we shew'd em: If they smile,
And say twill doe; I know within a while,
All the best men are ours; for 'tis ill hap,
If they hold, when their Ladies bid 'em clap.
