2. DEFENCE OF THE EPILOGUE, OR AH ESSAY ON THE DRAMATIC POETRY OF THE LAST AGE.
[Written about 1670. ] THE promises of authors, that they wil...l write again, are, in effect, a threatening of their readers with some new imperti- nence ; and they, who perform not what they promise, will have their pardon on easy terms. It is from this consideration, that I could be glad to spare you the trouble, which I am now giving you, of a postscript, if I were not obliged, by many reasons, to write somewhat concerning our present plays, and those of our prede- cessors on the English stage. The truth is, I have so far engaged myself in a bold epilogue to this play, wherein I have somewhat taxed the former writing, that it was necessary for me either not to print it, or to shew that I could defend it.
