AN EPILOGUE, design'd to be spoken by Mrs. Woffington, in
the character of a volunteer.
  Enter, reading a Gazette.
Curse on all cowards, say I!  Why bless my eyes--
No, no, it can't be true: This Gazette lies:
Our men retreat before a  scrub banditti,
Who scarce cou'd fright the buff coats of the city!
. . . [42 more lines in feminist vein]
So shall you fire each hero to his duty,
And British rights be sav'd by British beauty.
