Seite 45 - Tis a poor skill, which ev'ry fool can reach, A vile stage-custom, honour 'd in the breach. Worse as more close, the disingenuous art But shews the wanton looseness of the heart. When I behold a wretch, of talents mean, Drag private foibles on the public scene, Forsaking nature's fair and open road To mark some whim, some...
