Σελίδα 118 - And chase the new-blown bubbles of the day. Ah ! let not Censure term our fate our choice, The stage but echoes back the public voice ; The drama's laws, the drama's patrons give, For we that live to please, must please to live.
Σελίδα 52 - Come, come, Gibber, tell me, if there is not something like envy in your character of this young gentleman: the actor who pleases every body, must be a man of merit.
Σελίδα 117 - Perhaps if skill could distant times explore, New Behns, new Durfeys, yet remain in store; Perhaps where Lear has rav'd, and Hamlet died, On flying cars new sorcerers may ride ; Perhaps (for who can guess th' effects of chance) Here Hunt may box, or Mahomet may dance.

Σελίδα 116 - WHEN Learning's triumph o'er her barbarous foes First rear'd the stage, immortal Shakespeare rose; Each change of many-colour'd life he drew, Exhausted worlds, and then imagin'd new: Existence saw him spurn her bounded reign, And panting Time toil'd after him in vain. His powerful strokes presiding truth impress'd, And unresisted passion storm'd the breast.
Σελίδα 117 - Then crush'd by Rules, and weaken'd as refin'd, For Years the Pow'r of Tragedy declin'd; From Bard, to Bard, the frigid Caution crept, Till Declamation roar'd, while Passion slept.
