Стр. 15 - Steal ! — to be sure they may ; and, egad, serve your best thoughts as gypsies do stolen children, disfigure them to make 'em pass for their own.
Стр. 18 - Sneer. In short, that even the finest passages you steal are of no service to you ; for the poverty of your own language prevents their assimilating ; so that they lie on the surface like lumps of marl on a barren moor, encumbering what it is not in their power to fertilize ! Sir Fret.
Стр. 17 - No ; quite the contrary : their abuse is, in fact, the best panegyric ; I like it of all things. — An author's reputation is only in danger from their support.
Стр. 39 - Puff.

Стр. 43 - That's truly great. What, think you, 'twas set up The Greek and Roman name in such a lustre, But doing right in stern despite to nature ; Shutting their ears to all her little cries, When great, august, and godlike justice...
Стр. 26 - I open with a clock striking, to beget an awful attention in the audience: it also marks the time, which is four o'clock in the morning, and saves a description of the rising sun, and a great deal about gilding the eastern hemisphere.
Стр. 17 - I'll undertake to read you the whole, from beginning to end, with the prologue and epilogue, and allow time for the music between the acts. Mrs. Dang. I hope to see it on the stage next. Dang. Well, Sir Fretful, I wish you may be able to get rid as easily of the newspaper criticisms as you do of ours.
Стр. 10 - STAGE DIRECTIONS. The Conductors of this Work print no Plays but those which they have seen acted. The Stage Directions are given from their own personal observations, during the most recent performances.
Стр. 38 - Yes, I think there is something like it in Othello. Puff. Gad ! now you put me in mind on't, I believe there is — but that's of no consequence — all that can be said is, that two people happened to hit on the same thought— and Shakespeare made use of it first, that's alL Sneer.
