Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Tender Husband; Or the Accomplished Fools, a Comedy: Adapted for Theatrical Representation In the first rise and infancy of farce, When fools were many, and when plays were scarce, The raw, unpracticed authors could with ease, A young and unexperienced audience please; No single character had e´er been shown, But the whole herd of fops was all their own; Rick in originals, they set to view, In every piece, a coxcomb that was new. But now our British Theatre can boast Broils of all kinds, a vast unthinking host! Fruitful of folly and of vice, it shows Cuckolds, and cit$y and bawds, and pimps, and beaux Rough country knights are found of every shire, Of every fashion, gentle fops appear; And punks of different characters we meet, As frequent on the stage as in the pit; Our modern wits are forc´d to pick and cull, And here and there, by chance glean up a fool: Long ere they find the necessary spark, They search the town, and beat about the park; About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
