START: Hold! Are you mad? You damn’d, confounded dog!
I am to rise, and speak the epilogue.
(Getting up.) I come, kind gentlemen, strange news to tell ye;
I am the ghost of poor departed Nelly.
[... …]
END: As for my epitaph when I am gone,
I’ll trust no poet, but will write my own:
‘Here Nelly lies, who, though she lived a Slattern,
Yet died a Princess, acting in St. Catherine.
