Yet to good wine they do use good bushes ; and good plays prove the better by the help of good epilogues. What a case am I in then, that am neither a good epilogue, nor cannot insi- nuate with you in the behalf of a good play ! I am not furnished like a beggar, therefore to beg will not become me : my way is to conjure you ; and I will begin with the women. "I charge you, women, for the love you bear to men, to like as much of this (tale) as please you ; and I charge you, O men, for the love you bear to women, — as I perceive by your simpering none of you hates them, — that between you and the women the (tale) may please." — As you Like It.
