EPILOGUE
3363 I would now ask you how you like the play,
3364 But, as it is with schoolboys, cannot say.
3365 I am cruel fearful! Pray yet, stay a while,
3366 And let me look upon you. No man smile?
3367 5 Then it goes hard, I see. He that has
3368 Loved a young handsome wench, then, show his
3369 face—
3370 ’Tis strange if none be here—and, if he will,
3371 Against his conscience let him hiss and kill
3372 10 Our market. ’Tis in vain, I see, to stay you.
3373 Have at the worst can come, then! Now what say
3374 you?
3375 And yet mistake me not: I am not bold.
3376 We have no such cause. If the tale we have told—
3377 15 For ’tis no other—any way content you—
3378 For to that honest purpose it was meant you—
3379 We have our end; and you shall have ere long,
3380 I dare say, many a better, to prolong
3381 Your old loves to us. We, and all our might,
3382 20 Rest at your service. Gentlemen, good night.
Flourish. ⌜He exits.⌝
