Sivu 58 - but it was never acted, or if it was, not above once, for the play, I remember, pleased not the million; 'twas caviare to the general: but it was (as I received it, and others whose judgments in such matters cried in the top of mine) an excellent play.
Sivu 128 - The gentlewomen; nor rolled bullet heard To say, it thunders; nor tempestuous drum Rumbles, to tell you when the storm doth come: But deeds and language, such as men do use, And persons such as comedy would choose, When she would show an image of the times, And sport with human follies, not with crimes. 1
