[To Touch.] And you to wrangling, for thy loving voyage
Is but for two moneths victuall'd: So to your pleasures,
I am for other, then for dancing meazures.
Du. Se. Stay, Jaques, stay.

Jaq. To see no pastime, I: what you would have, Ile stay to know, at your abandon'd cave. Exit.

Du. Se. Proceed, proceed: wee'l begin these rights, As we do trust, they'l end in true delights.

[Epilogue.]

Ros. It is not the fashion to see the Ladie the Epilogue: but it is no more unhandsome, then to see the Lord the Prologue. If it be true, that good wine needs no bush, 'tis true, that a good play needes no Epilogue. Yet to good wine they do use good bushes: and good playes prove the better by the helpe of good Epilogues: What a case am I in then, that am neither a good Epilogue, nor cannot insinuate with you in the behalfe of a good play? I am not furnish'd like a Begger, therefore to begge will not become mee. My way is to conjure you, and Ile begin with the Women. I charge you (O women) for the love you beare to men, to like as much of this Play, as please you: And I charge you (O men) for the love you beare to women (as I perceive by your simpring, none of you hates them) that betweene you, and the women, the play may please. If I were a Woman, I would kisse as many of you as had beards that pleas'd me, complexions that lik'd me, and breaths that I defi'de not: And I am sure, as many as have good beards, or good faces, or sweet breaths, will for my kind offer, when I make curt'sie, bid me farewell. Exit.

FINIS.
