Of that and all the Progress more and less,
Resolvedly more leisure shall express : '
All yet seems well, and if it end so meet,
The bitter past, more welcome is the sweet.

EPILOGUE.
THE King's a Beggar, now the Play is done :

1 All is well ended, if his Suit be won,
That you express Content; which we will Pay,

Your gentle Hands lend us, and take our Hearts.

DU K E. .
af Musick be the Food of Love, play on,

Give me excess of it; that surfeiting
The Appetite may ficken, and so die,
That Strain again, it had a dying Fall:
O, it came o'er my Ear, like the sweet Wind

That breathes upon a Bank of Violets,
Stealing, and giving Odour. Enough, no more;
· 'Tis not so sweet now, as it was before. .

O Spirit of Love, how quick and fresh art thou!
That notwithstanding thy Capacity,
Receiverh as the Sea; Noughe enters there,
Of what validity and pitch so e'er,
But falls into Abatement, and low Price,
Even in a Minute; fo full of Shapes is Fancy,
That it alone is high fantastical.
Cur. Will you go hunt, my Lord?
Duke. What, Curio?
