of Lady Lynx and their man-servant, and escape for
the purpose of being united.- There are some

and'his wife, who by theaddress of Winlove's servant
Ferret wereconfounded with the lovers. This Piece.'

of course be omitted on repetition. FAWCETT ex-
cited much laughter by a whimsical song respeEting
a matrimonial quarrel arising from a difference of':
opinion on the best mode of dressing a Flitch of
Bacon. .He also spoke a humourous, Prologue wit tt
