Such is the outlitie of the Comedy .whielt the
Prologue announced as the first Work of a

the 'play' shows that it is the work of one who had
had little experience in dramatic composition.---,

improhable,'and there is in some respects a went
oh poetical justice. Sir MMUS, for ifistance, is

and there are some sparkling points, but there tire
