EPILOGUE.
Written by Mr. G a R r i c k.
And fpoken by Mrs. Barry.
CT'HO^ lately dead, a Princefs, and of Spain,
I am no Ghoji, hut Flejh and Blood again !
No time to change this Drefs, it is expedient y
I pafs for Britijh, and your moji obedient,
Hoiv happy. Ladies, for us all — That zve,
Born in this Ife, by Magna Charta free.
Are not like Bpanijh Wives, kept under Lock and Key,
The Spaniard now, is not like him of Yore,
Who in his whifkerd face, his Titles lore !
Nor Joy, nor Vengeance made him fmile or grin,
Fix'd were his features, tho' the Devil tvithin !
He, when once jealous, to zvajh out the Stain,
Stalk' d home, Jiahb'd Madam, andJiaWa out again.
Thanks to the times, this Dagger-drawing paJJIon,
Thro' polijh'd Europe, is quite out of Fajhion.
Signer Th' Italian, quick of fight and hearing.
Once ever lifning, and for ever leering,
T's Cara Spofa, now politely kind.
He, heft of Hufjands, is both deaf and blind.
Mynheer the Dutchrt^n, zvith his fober pace,
V/bene' er he finds his Rib has wanted Grace,
He feels no Branches fpr outing from his Brain,
But Calculation makes of Lofs and Gain;
And tv hen to part with her, occafion^s ripe.
Mynheer turns out mine Frow, and fmokes his pipe.
