EPILOGUE.
11.
For—see your cellarage!
There are forty barrels with Shakespeare's brand.
Some five or six are abroach: the rest
Stand spigoted, fauceted. Try and test
What yourselves call best of the very best!
Why is it that untouched they stand?
Why don't you try tap, advance a stage
With the rest in cellarage?

12.
For—see your cellarage!
There are four big butts of Milton's brew.
How comes it you make old drips and drops
Do duty, and there devotion stops?
