Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The School for Scandal: A Comedy; As It Is Acted at the Theatre, Smoke-Alley, Dublin A school for Scandal! - Tell me, I beseech you, Needs there a school, this modish art to teach you? No need of lessons now - the knowing think - We might as well be taught to eat and drink: Caus´d by a dearth of scandal, should the vapours Distress our fair-ones, let them read the papers; Their powerful mixtures such disorders hit, Crave what they will, there´s quantum sufficit. "Lord!" cries my Lady Wormwood, (who loves tattle, And puts much salt and pepper in her prattle) Just ris´n at noon, all night at cards, when threshing Strong tea and scandal - bless me, how refreshing! "Give me the papers, Lips - how bold and free! (sips) "Last night Lord L. (sips) was caught with Lady D. "For aching heads, what charming sal volatile! (sips) "If Mrs B. will still continue flirting, "We hope she´ll draw, or we´ll undraw, the curtain - "Fine satire, poz! in public all abuse it; "But, by ourselves, (sips) our praise we can´t refuse it.
