Bell, Let thofe, who view this fad Example, know,
What Fate attends the broken Marriage Vow;
And teach their Children in fucceeding Times,
No common Vengeance waits upon thefe Crimes,
When fuch fevere Repentance could not fave,
From Want, from Shame, and an Untimely Grave.

EPILOGUE:

Spoken by Mrs. OLDFIELD.

YE modeft Matrons all, ye virtuous Wives,

Who lead with horrid Husbands, decent Lives ;
Ton, who for all you are in fuck a taking,
To fee your Spouses Drinking, Gamin, Raking,
Tet make a Confcience fill of Cuckold-making.
What can we say, your Pardon to obtain?
This Matter here was prov'd against poor Jane:
She never once deny'd it, but in short,

We are not all fo easy to controul:

I fancy one might find in this good Town,

[merged small][ocr errors][ocr errors][merged small]

Don't you allow it to be virtuous Bearing,

When we fubmit thus to your Domineering?
Well, peace be with her, fhe did wrong most surely;
But Jo do many more who look demurely.

Nor fhou'd our mourning Madam weep alone,
There are more Ways of Wickedness than one.

If the reforming Stage Shou'd fall to fhaming
Ill-Nature, Pride, Hypocrify and Gaming;
The Poets frequently might move Compaffion,
And with She-Tragedies o'er-run the Nation.
Then judge the fair Offender with good Nature;
And let your Fellow-feeling curb your Satyr.
What if our Neighbours have some little Failing,
Muft we needs fall to damning and to railing?
For her Excufe too, be it anderstood,
That if the Woman was not quite so good,
Her Lover was a King, she Flesh and Blood.
And fince she has dearly paid the finful Score,
Be kind at last, and pity poor Jane Shore.

FINIS.
