The Jew of Malta/Epilogue 2
Epilogue.
In Graving, with Pigmalion to contend;
Or Painting, with Apelles, doubtlesse the end
Must be disgrace: our Actor did not so,
He onely aym'd to goe, but not out-goe.
Nor thinke that this day any prize was plaid,
Here were no betts at all, no wagers laid;
All the ambition that his mind doth swell,
Is but to heare from you, (by me) 'twas well.
