OCCASIONAL EPILOGUE in the Tragedy of Gustavus Vasa, the
Deliverer of his Country.
Written by Mr. Heard, and spoken by Mrs. Bartholomew.
Ladies, you've seen me from one lover freed,
And by this time I fear you're all agreed
To blame my coolness to the conq'ring Swede.

"Nay but, my dear, I'm going to the play"
"Ah! that cursed play-house! Stay at home I say:
"Madam, I am your Lord! do you obey."
