Strana 40 - ... profit. When his plays had been acted, his hope was at an end ; he solicited no addition of honour from the reader.
Strana 64 - I have indeed disappointed no opinion more than my own ; yet I have endeavoured to perform: my task with no slight solicitude.
Strana 216 - The applause! delight! the wonder of our stage! My Shakespeare rise! I will not lodge thee by Chaucer, or Spenser, or bid Beaumont lie A little further, to make thee a room...
