Act 5 — EPILOGUE.
Reading edition
EPILOGUE.
King. The king's a beggar, now the play is done: All is well ended, if this suit be won, That you express content; which we will pay, With strife to please you, day exceeding day: 5 Ours be your patience then, and yours our parts; Your gentle hands lend us, and take our hearts. [Exeunt.
