EPILOGUE spoken by Mr. Christopher Bromadge, last Monday
se'nnight, at a benefit acted for him by some young
gentlemen, &c. in town.
Sailors are seldom poets, though often poor,
Nor know your classick or Pierian lore;
Our harsher phrases of---Avast----Belay,
Would sound but roughly tack'd unto a play:
. . . [12 more lines]
In happier scenes to spend my future days,
And bid adieu to epilogues and plays.
To all this audience too my thanks I give,
In peace and plenty may they happy live;
. . . [2 lines follow]
