SONG.
_Better Musick ne'r was known,_
_Than a Quire of hearts in one._
_Let each other that hath been,_
_Troubled with the gall or spleen:_
_Learn of us to keep his brow,_
_Smooth and plain as ours are now._
_Sing though before the hour of dying_
_He shall rise, and then be crying,_
_Heyho, 'Tis nought but mirth,_
_That keeps the bodie from the earth._
[Exeunt omnes.
_Epilogus._
_Cit._ Come _Nell_, shall we go, the Play's done?
_Wife._ Nay, by my faith _George_, I have more manners than so,
I'll speak to these Gentlemen first: I thank you all Gentlemen,
for your patience and countenance to _Ralph_, a poor fatherless
child, and if I may see you at my house, it should go hard, but
I would have a pottle of Wine, and a Pipe of Tobacco for you;
for truly I hope you [do] like the youth, but I would be glad
to know the truth: I refer it to your own discretions, whether
you will applaud him or no, for I will wink, and whilst you
shall do what you will, I thank you with all my heart, God give
you good night, come _George_.
Loves Pilgr[i]mage,
a Comedy.
