_Rover._ Angelic creature!--to think of my generous friend--But now
for "As you like it." Where's Lamp and Trap--I shall ever love a
play--a spark from Shakspeare's Muse of Fire, was the star that guided
me through my desolate and bewildered maze of life, and brought me to
these unexpected blessings.
To merit friends so good, so sweet a wife,
The Tender Husband be my part for life;
My Wild Oats sown, let candid Thespian laws
Decree that glorious harvest,--your applause.
THE END.
TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE
Contemporary spellings have been retained, even where inconsistent. In
a very few instances, missing punctuation has been added.
Two corrections were made to the text:
In Act I, Scene 1, "Ill" was changed to "I'll" in Jane's
sentence: "I'll tie your neck in a big beau".
In ACT I, Scene 2, a second, superfluous instance of the
word "my" was deleted from Rover's exclamation: "'Pon my
soul"
