EPILOGUE.

FRom Elbow Chair i'th' Pantry I am come, To see what you are doing here; make room. So heartily I slept after my Labor, My Nose did louder Musick make than Pipe and Tabor. My Dreams presented me a Bill of Fare, Of sumptuous Meat and Dainties that were rare: I wak'd with joy, and to my comfort find, Three Couple here in Bonds of Wedlock joyn'd. Three days we'll Feast, a day for every Pair, And each days Management shall be my care: We'll have our swinge of Mirth, let nothing cross it, For ev'ry Bride I'll provide a good Sack-Posset, With grated Naples-Bisket made, and yolks Of new-laid Eggs, Salacious Food for marry'd Folks: It shall be rich with Ambergreese and Pounded Pearls, Which shall provoke a Race of lusty Boys and Girls: A Bridal Cake for each one too to Munch on, And every Guest shall have a lusty Lunchon. All that are here for Guests I do invite; We'l•• treat the first, the second, and third Night; With all the choicest Dainties I will feed ye: 〈1 line〉〈1 line〉
