W. H. Auden
Good people, just a moment
[TOM, ANNE, NICK, TRULOVE, AND BABA]
Good people, just a moment
Though our story now is ended
There's the moral to draw
From what you saw
Since the curtain first ascended

[ANNE]
Not every rake is rescued
At the last by Love and Beauty
Not every man
Is given an Anne
To take the place of Duty

[BABA]
Let Baba warn the ladies:
You will find out soon or later
That, good or bad
All men are mad
All they say or do is theater

[TOM]
Beware, young men who fancy
You are Virgil or Julius Caesar
Lest when you wake
You be only a rake
