0 GARRICK !: who can paint thy rations prisms
To cheer and vivify the social hours ?
Or, in the fascinating eltarins array'd,
To rouse—to melt—to thrcaten or persuade?
Whether in Lear's deerepid.form, all wild
Pour:or, his frantic curses on his chill,
Or now with tonrirrous, fell Ambition warm,.
Assumed Macbetli=or Rtrkar,l's hide:ills form ,
Or torn 'd aside to meet in sprightly glee
His is:ighter-lot ing sister Comedy,
In Drug-pi-I's isii t I,ok—or Ranger's ease,
%VIM] gave to fashion el err charm to please;
Whate'er the part, 'twas nature. pure and whole,
Who for tie purpose fir'd his lritultgrl soul,
To shrw the rations passions as they 'lie,
Without the borrow tkr*oltes of art's disguise,
That all th' adminngworld in him might see
Not One-Iml all mankind's cpitqme: •

HMV oft wrapp'd up in wonder hare I been
When tou anti Slzakspeare aggrandiz'd the scene?
How oft as listening On thy Magic ground,
I shared in all the fon,.i illusi,ms num),
Lir'd o'er each act, in the loud applause,
And felt the moral of the 1), tuna's laws,
Laws, which display the 'wooers of mankind,
Improve our taste and meliorate the mind.
