Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Dramatick Works of George Colman, Vol. 2 Each year how many English visit France, To learn the language, or to learn to dance! ´Twixt Dover-Cliffs and Calais, in July, Observe how thick the birds of passage fly! Fair-weather fops in swarms, fresh-water sailors, Cooks, mantua-makers, milleners, and tailors! Our bard too made a trip; and, sland´rers say, Brought home, among some more run-goods, a play: Here, on this quay, prepar´d t´unload his cargo, If on the freight you lay not an embargo. "What! am I branded for a smuggler ?"cries Our little Bayes, with anger in his eyes. "No. English poets, English Merchants made, "To the whole world of letters fairly trade: "With the rich stores of ancient Rome and Greece, "Imported duty-free, may fill their piece: "Or, like Columbus, cross th´ Atlantick ocean, "And set Peru and Mexico in motion; "Turn Cherokees and Catabaws to shape; "Or sail for wit and humour to the Cape."
