Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Works of the English Poets, Vol. 66: With Prefaces, Biographical and Critical The Rosciad. Roscius deceas´d, each high aspiring play´r Push´d all his int´rest for the vacant chair. The buskin´d heroes of the mimic stage No longer whine in love, and rant in rage; The monarch quits his throne, and condescends Humbly to court the favour of his friend; For pity´s sake tells undeserv´d mishaps, And, their applause to gain, recounts his claps. Thus the victorious chiefs of ancient Rome. To win the mob, a suppliant´s form assume, In pompous strain sight o´er th´ extinguish´d war, And thew where honour bled in ev´ry fear. But though bare merit might in Rome appear The strongest plea for favour, ´tis not here; We form our judgement in another way; And they will best succeed, who best can pay: Those, who would gain the votes of British tribes, What can an actor give? In ev´ry age Cash hath been rudely banish´d from the stage; Monarchs themselves, to grief of ev´ry play´r, Appear as often as their image ther: About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
