EPILOGUS.
_And._ Gentlemen, though I remain an armed Epilogue,[192]
I stand not as a peremptory challenger of desert, either
for him that composed the Comedy, or for us that acted
it; but a most submissive suppliant for both. What
imperfection you have seen in us, leave with us, and
we'll amend it; what hath pleased you, take with you,
and cherish it. You shall not be more ready to embrace
anything commendable, than we will endeavour to amend
all things reprovable. What we are, is by your favour.
What we shall be, rests all in your applausive encouragements.
[_Exeunt._
[192] It was probably in derision of Marston's "armed Epilogue"
that Ben Jonson heralded _The Poetaster_ with an armed
Prologue. In _Troilus and Cressida_ we have an armed
Prologue:--
"And hither am I come,
A Prologue armed--but not in confidence
Of author's pen."
