Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Adrian and Orrila Long has the stage, determined to impart Such scenes alone as meliorate the heart, Barr´d from all avenues, with rigid sway. Plots which corrupt, and maxims that betray. With elevation now, the alter´d muse That praise rejects, which virtue should refuse; In fancy´s rose no vivid color sees, Unless that vividness, the just can please; In wit´s gay brilliant owns no sparkling gem, Unless allow´d as brilliancy by them; Proud of no praise, of no distinction vain, Unless distinguish´d in the moral train, Celebrity she holds as disrepute, And scorns all laurel from a shameful root! Licentious follies rarely intervene, And truth and sense, and honor claim the scene! When love´s distress shall in our story rise, Let sighs break forth - for those are nature´s sighs When persecuted worth in grief appears, Be proud to weep - for those are virtue´s tears. But to our author: each dramatic bard Solicits, but in vain, a long regard; Form´d to attract the fashion of the day, They, like that fashion, swiftly pass away. They gain at most, employ din such a cause, Uncertain honor, fugitive applause! Now hopes, now fears, his anxious heart compose, Half sunk by these; and just upheld by those; For in our days when envy smiles to sting, Grief follows joy, and praises censure bring. Then wits and heroes, and the critic few, Here let me pass, and, ladies, plead to you; You, for whose favor every wit is bright, All critics comment, and all heroes fight!
