For- rest on the occasion referred to : HARLEQUIN'S EPILOGUE. 323 / / EPILOGUE. Written by Goldsmith, and originally spoken by Mr. Lee Lewis, in the Character of Harlequin, at his Benefit. Hold, prompter ! hold ! A word before your nonsense : I'd speak a word or two to ease my conscience. My pride forbids it ever should be said My heels eclipsed the honors of my head That I found humor in a piebald vest, Or ever thought that jumping was a jest. [Takes off his mask. Whence and what art thou, vis...ionary birth? Nature disowns and Reason scorns thy mirth. In thy black aspect every passion sleeps The joy that dimples and the woe that weeps. How hast thou filled the scene with all thy brood Of fools pursuing and of fools pursued, Whose ins and outs no ray of sense discloses, Whose only plot it is to break our noses, Whilst from below the trapdoor demons rise, And from above the dangling deities ! And shall I mix in this unhallowed crew ? May rosined lightning blast me if I do ! No, I will act I'll vindicate the stage; Shakespeare himself shall feel my tragic rage.
