EPILOGUE

    (Spoken by the Company)

Hic senex si quid clam uxorem suo animo fecit volup, neque novum neque mirum fecit nec secus quam alii solent; nec quisquam est tam ingenio duro nec tam firmo pectore, quin ubi quicque occasionis sit sibi faciat bene. nunc si voltis deprecari huic seni ne vapulet, remur impetrari posse, plausum si clarum datis.

If this old gentleman has indulged his inclinations a bit without informing his wife, he has done nothing new or strange, or different from what other men ordinarily do.  No one has such an iron nature, such an unyielding heart, as not to do himself a good turn whenever he has any chance.  So now in case you wish to beg the old fellow off from a beating, we opine that you can succeed, if you—­give us some loud applause.
