you list. Come to me, Winnifrede, 'shalt be welcome. Make much of her, Kate, I charge you: I do not think but she's a good wench, and hath had wrong as well as we. So let's every man home to Edmonton with heavy hearts, yet as merry as we can, though not as we would.

Just. Join friends in sorrow; make of all the

best:

Harms past may be lamented, not redrest.

EPILOGUE.

Spoken by WINNIFREDE.

I Am a widow still, and must not sort
A second choice, without a good report;
Which tho' some widows find, and few deserve,
Yet I dare not presume, but will not swerve
From modest hopes. All noble tongues are free;
The gentle may speak one kind word for me.

PHEN *.

Phen.] Probably the name of the actor who spoke the epilogue in the character of Winnifrede. William Penn, most likely the person meant, was one of the actors mentioned in the second folio edition of Beaumont and Fletcher, as having performed some characters in their plays. Or it may possibly have been Andrew Pennycuik, who has been mentioned in the notes to the preceding play, and as he is known to have acted the parts of women, not improbably personated the character of Winnifrede in this drama.
