1    It is not the fashion to see the lady the epilogue;
2    but it is no more unhandsome than to see the lord
3    the prologue. If it be true that good wine needs
4    no bush, 'tis true that a good play needs no
5    epilogue; yet to good wine they do use good bushes,
6    and good plays prove the better by the help of good
7    epilogues. What a case am I in then, that am
8    neither a good epilogue nor cannot insinuate with
9    you in the behalf of a good play! I am not
10   furnished like a beggar, therefore to beg will not
11   become me: my way is to conjure you; and I'll begin
12   with the women. I charge you, O women, for the love
13   you bear to men, to like as much of this play as
14   please you: and I charge you, O men, for the love
15   you bear to women--as I perceive by your simpering,
16   none of you hates them--that between you and the
17   women the play may please. If I were a woman I
18   would kiss as many of you as had beards that pleased
19   me, complexions that liked me and breaths that I
20   defied not: and, I am sure, as many as have good
21   beards or good faces or sweet breaths will, for my
22   kind offer, when I make curtsy, bid me farewell.
