Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Thespian Gleanings, a Collection of Comic Recitals, Songs, Tales, &C: Including a Variety of Comic Sketches, From Dodd´s Lecture on Hearts; A Farce Called, Who´s to Blame; Or No Fool Like an Old One; And Many Originals Strangers at Home; Or, Theatrical Club. Tune, --- The Opening Air in the Deserter. (T. Dibdin.) The pate of a poet is often so stor´d With nonsense and whimsies, and such kind of pother, That, at times, the poor varlet is plaguily bor´d, His thoughts and conceits to select from each other: And such, I declare, Is my case to a hair, My brain for a subject, is quite on the rack; And a good one to chuse Is as hard to my muse, As to draw a court card from a well shuffled pack. Thus authors, like gamesters, are puzzled, at times, Their skill to exert, in the end to be winners; For tho´ one plays with cards and the other with rhymes, Yet both on their luck oft depend - for their dinners: Then the suit I select Let good nature protect, Nor trump my best hopes with your critical rubs: For setting apart Spade, diamond, or heart. The theme of my ditty, at present, is clubs. Master Addison tells us of clubs without end, Of Short clubs, of tall clubs, of fat clubs, and lean, Sir, Where each man, or cooked or straight, met his friend, And punch, wine, and laughter enliven´d the scene, Sir: And About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
