“ No epilogue, I pray you, for your play needs no excuse. Never
excuse—for when the players are all dead, there needs none
to be blamed. Marry, if he that writ it had played Pyramus
and hanged himself in Thisbe’s garter, it would have been a
fine tragedy. And so it is, truly, and very notably discharged.
But come, your Bergomask. Let your epilogue alone. Shakespeare, Theseus in Midsummer’s Night’s Dream (Act V sc i)
