It is exactly what the actors ought to say; what they remold say, if they could venture to speak their minds freely—indeed, what they do say, both on the stage and off, and what managers say, by each successive " piece" —that they produce in their delightful " Iteuvi.aes ! !I" NOTE.—The present " School" of Epilogue is, front be ginning to end, the most gross attack upon the audience. and upon the taste and judgment of the public, which the author has feebly attempted to imitate, all through the fol lowing. as well is he has to imitate the style gild manner of a modern Epilogue. iu the passages marked with invertei • VI 111173 COURT: On Saturday, his Majesty beld a Court at bit Pals**, in Pall-Nall, which was attended by the Lord President of the Council, the Lori Privy Seal, the First Lord of the Admiralty, the Master-General of the Ordnance, the Muter of the Mint, the Lord Steward, the Judge Advo cate, the Treasurer of the Household.
