 Epiiogue, MT. CrandalI: aour friends adventuring to the scenic land direct their choice by Shakespeare's happier hand; Shakespearel who warns with more than magic art, en- chants the ear, whilst he inspires the heart: yet should they fail, they hope, the wits will own, there's enough of Ehakespeare's still, to pleace the town. Adapted from The Students Comedy. 1762.
