Sayfa 6 - To bring a lover, a lady, and a rival into the fable; to entangle them in...
Sayfa 40 - ... profit. When his plays had been acted, his hope was at an end ; he solicited no addition of honour from the reader.
Sayfa 64 - I have indeed disappointed no opinion more than my own ; yet I have endeavoured to perform: my task with no slight solicitude.
Sayfa 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...
