Occasional Epilogue to the tragedy of Gustavus Vasa, the
Deliverer of his Country. Written by Mr. Heard, and spoken
by Mrs. Bartolomew.
Ladies, you've seen me from lover freed,
And by this time I fear you're all agreed
To blame my coolness to the conq'ring Swede.
. . . [18 lines]
Now mark me, Ladies, what a change is seen!
This is the way the traitor treats his Queen--
"Zounds! Madam, what's all this? --What's this I see?
"Another new silk gown!" --"My dear," says she;
"'Sdeath, Madam! --Yes you're dear enough to me."
"Nay but, my dear, I'm going to the play"--
"Ah! that curs'd play-house! Stay at home I say:
"Madam, I am your Lord! Do you obey."
