EPILOGUE
'Tis ten to one this play can never please
All that are here. Some come to take their ease
And sleep an act or two—but those, we fear,
We have frighted with our trumpets; so, 'tis clear,
They'll say 'tis naught—others, to hear the city
Abused extremely and to cry 'That's witty!'—
Which we have not done neither—that, I fear... (Epilogue.1-7)
Aside from the forgiveness in the play itself, we're asked for a different type of understanding when the Epilogue steps out on stage and asks us to forgive. It's one way of telling the audience, "Hey, if you didn't like it, that's too bad."
