Moonshine and Lion are left to bury the dead.

Ay, and Wall too.

No, I assure you, the wall is down that parted

their fathers. Will it please you to see the epilogue, or to

hear a bergamask dance between two of our company?

[Bottom and Flute stand up]

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

bergamask. Let your epilogue alone.
