Dear flannery-ga,

The answer is no. The epilogue was written by John Fletcher (1579-1625).

You can read it here on Google Books.

Beaumont and Fletcher: Or, The Finest Scenes, Lyrics, and Other
Beauties of Those Two Poets.
Pages 361-363

Emerson (1803-1882) used part of the epilogue as a motto for his
essay: Self-Reliance.
