meantime; that we who are not lovers may have some other employment



besides looking on。







MIRA。  With all my heart; dear Sir Wilfull。  What shall we do for



music?







FOIB。  Oh; sir; some that were provided for Sir Rowland's



entertainment are yet within call。  'A dance。'







LADY。  As I am a person; I can hold out no longer:  I have wasted my



spirits so to…day already that I am ready to sink under the fatigue;



and I cannot but have some fears upon me yet; that my son Fainall



will pursue some desperate course。







MIRA。  Madam; disquiet not yourself on that account:  to my



knowledge his circumstances are such he must of force comply。  For



my part I will contribute all that in me lies to a reunion。  In the



meantime; madam 'to MRS。 FAINALL'; let me before these witnesses



restore to you this deed of trust:  it may be a means; well managed;



to make you live easily together。











From hence let those be warned; who mean to wed;



Lest mutual falsehood stain the bridal…bed:



For each deceiver to his cost may find



That marriage frauds too oft are paid in kind。







'Exeunt Omnes。'















EPILOGUESpoken by Mrs。 Bracegirdle。















After our Epilogue this crowd dismisses;



I'm thinking how this play'll be pulled to pieces。



But pray consider; e'er you doom its fall;



How hard a thing 'twould be to please you all。



There are some critics so with spleen diseased;



They scarcely come inclining to be pleased:



And sure he must have more than mortal skill



Who pleases anyone against his will。



Then; all bad poets we are sure are foes;



And how their number's swelled the town well knows



In shoals; I've marked 'em judging in the pit;



Though they're on no pretence for judgment fit;



But that they have been damned for want of wit。



Since when; they; by their own offences taught;



Set up for spies on plays; and finding fault。



Others there are whose malice we'd prevent:



Such; who watch plays; with scurrilous intent



To mark out who by characters are meant:



And though no perfect likeness they can trace;



Yet each pretends to know the copied face。



These; with false glosses; feed their own ill…nature;



And turn to libel what was meant a satire。



May such malicious fops this fortune find;



To think themselves alone the fools designed:



If any are so arrogantly vain;



To think they singly can support a scene;



And furnish fool enough to entertain。



For well the learned and the judicious know;



That satire scorns to stoop so meanly low;



As any one abstracted fop to show。



For; as when painters form a matchless face;



They from each fair one catch some diff'rent grace;



And shining features in one portrait blend;



To which no single beauty must pretend:



So poets oft do in one piece expose



Whole BELLES ASSEMBLEES of coquettes and beaux。
