Стр. 94 - Had hail'd thee good if great, and paid the vow Sincere as that they pay to God ; whilst thou In lawn hadst whisper'd to a sleeping crowd, As dull as Rochester, and half as proud.
Стр. 15 - Unmannered jests are blurted in your face, There Yates with justice strict attention draws, Acts truly from himself, and gains applause. But when, to please himself or charm his wife, He aims at something in politer life, When, blindly thwarting nature's stubborn plan, He treads the stage by way of gentleman, The clown, who no one touch of breeding knows, Looks like Tom Errand dressed in Clincher's clothes.
Стр. 27 - With all the native vigour of sixteen, Among the merry troop conspicuous seen, See lively Pope advance in jig, and trip Corinna, Cherry, Honeycomb, and Snip ; Not without art, but yet to Nature true, She charms the Town with humour just yet new ; Cheer'd by her promise, we the less deplore The fatal time when Clive shall be no more.
Стр. 40 - If thorough knowledge of the human heart; If powers of acting vast and unconfined ; If fewest faults with greatest beauties join'd ; If strong expression, and strange powers which lie "Within the magic circle of the eye ; If feelings which few hearts, like his, can know, And which no face so well as his can show, Deserve the preference ; — Garrick ! take the chair ; Nor quit it — till thou place an equal there.

Стр. 275 - tis the tale which angry Conscience tells, When she with more than tragic horror swells...
Стр. 20 - What ! shall opinion then, of nature free And lib'ral as the vagrant air, agree To rust in chains like these, imposed by things Which, less than nothing, ape the pride of kings ? No — though half-poets with half-players join To...
Стр. 90 - Be proud with meannefsj and be mean with pride ; Deaf to the voice of Faith and Honour, fall From fide to fide, yet be of none at all ; Spurn all...
Стр. 55 - No two on earth in all things can agree ! All have some darling singularity : Women and men, as well as girls and boys, In gewgaws take delight, and sigh for toys. Your sceptres and your crowns, and such like things, Are but a better kind of toys for kings.
Стр. 9 - A servile race, Who, in mere want of fault, all merit place ; Who blind obedience pay to ancient schools, Bigots to Greece, and slaves to musty rules; With solemn consequence declar'd that none Could judge that cause but SOPHOCLES alone.
