Rosalind's epilogue from As you Like It might be a good idea.....but what is she auditioning for?

Here is the piece I mean ... but it will help her to know the plot fo the play before reading this ..... if she has not read it go to Wikipedia and search As You Like It for a brief synopsis ..................

It is not the fashion to see the Ladie the Epilogue: but it is no more handsome, then to see the Lord the Prologue. If it be true, that good wine needs no bush, 'tis true, that a good play needes no Epilogue. Yet to good wine they do use good bushes: and good playes prove the better by the helpe of good Epilogues: What a case am I in then, that am neither a good Epilogue, nor cannot insinuate with you in the behalfe of a good play? I am not furnish'd like a Begger, therefore to begge will not become mee. My way is to conjure you, and Ile begin with the Women. I charge you (O women) for the love you beare to men, to like as much of this Play, as please you: And I charge you (O men) for the love you beare to women (as I perceive by your simpring, none of you hates them) that betweene you, and the women, the play may please. If I were a Woman, I would kisse as many of you as had beards that pleas'd me, complexions that lik'd me, and breaths that I defi'de not: And I am sure, as many as have good beards, or good faces, or sweet breaths, will for my kind offer, when I make curt'sie, bid me farewell.
