Trang 69 - ... and feet remarkably small. His large blue eyes were rich in expression, and his comedy was luxuriant in humour, but always faithful to his author. He was a comic actor, not a buffoon.
Trang 383 - ... gathered round the Stage. The Stage ! where fancy sits creative queen, And spreads gay web-work o'er life's mimic scene ; Where young-eyed wonder comes to feast his sight, And quaff instruction while he drinks delight. The Stage ! that threads each labyrinth of the soul, Wakes laughter's peal, and bids the tear-drop roll ; That hoots at folly, mocks proud fashion's slaves, And brands with shame the world's vile drove of knaves.
Trang 19 - Then raise the gale to waft fair virtue o'er The sea of life where reason points the shore. But ah! let reason guide the course along, Lest passion listening to some siren's song Rush on the rocks of vice, -where all is lost, And shipwreck'd virtue renders up the ghost.
Trang 3 - V. and his Brother in the Tower. The landing of the Earl of Richmond, And the death of King Richard in the memorable battle of Bosworth Field, being the last that was fought between the Houses of York and Lancaster ; with many other true Historical Passages.
Trang 528 - ... fawn upon the stage, her light and scanty drapery floating in air, and her symmetrical proportions liberally displayed by the force of a bewildering pirouette, the cheeks of the greater portion of the audience were crimsoned with shame, and every lady in the lower tier of boxes immediately left the house.
Trang 62 - And back repelTd the threat'ning dart of death. The plaintive widow, shedding tears of joy, As, fondly watching o'er her darling boy, Her anxious eyes with keen discernment trace The dawn of health relumining his face, Shall clasp him to her breast with raptures new, And pour the prayer of gratitude for you. In you, the long lost characters shall blend Of guardian, brother, father, husband, friend ! And sure if bliss in mortal breast can shine, That purest bliss, humanity ! is thine. Let not mistaken...
Trang 36 - Such dangerous arts as numbers have undone, A Barnwell's fate can never fail to move. And strike with shame and terror lawless love. See, plunged in ruin, with a virtuous wife, The Gamester weeps, despairs, and ends his life. When Cato bleeds, he spends his latest breath, To teach the love of country, strong in death. With...
Trang 172 - Brunei, the celebrated French engineer and builder of the Thames Tunnel, who, during the stormy days of the French Revolution, was an exile in America. It is doubtful if they were ever carried out — that for the exterior, which included a range of fluted pilasters by way of ornament, certainly was not, and for many years the front wall remained perfectly plain and barn-like in appearance. An engraving of the original design may be seen in the New York Directory for 1796. The Park Theatre was first...
Trang 384 - Here shall bright Genius wing his eagle flight, Rich dew-drops shaking from his plumes of light, Till, high in mental worlds, from vulgar ken He soars, the wonder and the pride of men. Cold Censure here to decent Mirth shall bow, And Bigotry unbend his monkish brow; Here Toil shall pause, his ponderous sledge thrown by, And Beauty bless each strain with melting eye. Grief, too, in fiction lost, shall cease to weep, And all the world's rude cares be laid to sleep. Each polished scene shall Taste and...
Trang 19 - In wanton scenes has play'd the siren's part : Yet if the Muse, unfaithful to her trust, Has sometimes stray'd from what is pure and just, Has she not oft, with awful, virtuous rage, Struck home at vice, and nobly trod the stage ? Made tyrants weep, the conscious murderer stand, And drop the dagger from his trembling hand...
