Firilide. The acknowledged author is Mr. Cur. max .
On drawing up the curtain, the Comedy was
ulbered in by the following Prologue, written by
T. Diaoter, and well delivered by Mr: Bauaro.
So you're all here—Bog, Pit, and Gallery, full
Of Britt& Jurors, come to try Jolla BULL.
a Wbo ad. Jou /I Butts" methinks i bear pa fay,
No Charade?. fo nam'd in all the Play.
" The Title then's a trick !"—We (corn the charge,
JOHN BULL is Brill) aaratkr at large;
' fis he; or he ;—wherc'er you mark a Wight
Revering Law, yet minium for Right :
Plain, blunt, his heart with feeling, jullice full :
That is a Briton--that's (thank Heaven) Jo it ts Butt.
And JOHN, till now, we fet it down for certain,
Has always ta'en his feat &fare the Curtain;
And fu he does—no matter where the place is,
fee his gen'rous mind in all you: faces.
Whether he fits by Sweetheart, Friend, or Bride,
JOHN Butt.'s as warm as at his ownifrelule.
Look up aloft, and you may fafcly (wear,
He's bighly pleas'd, clofe to his Lafs--juit there:
That hind, which round her wain is kindly thrown,
Should any He moleft, would knock him down
For Jon et is (till (as tells the Lyric page)
A Lamb in love—a Lion in his rage.
Where Faillion's polias Clews him more refin'd, (Berri)
IoHN, Rill to focial gaiety inellted,
Freely, rho' alm'd at by fatyric whim,
Laughs with the Bards who raife the laugh at him.
Or look below, and you may fee him fit,
Gracing, with Critic Rate, an Englifh Pit ;
To whom, thus midway plae'd, /fay be kind,
Joust Bu Lt before, oh (pare Joins BULL ( Pasting 1)
Should you condemn, law mercy, the poor

Nor blame the fear which makes. the Bard thus fete,

Tilt FABLE.

The fame lies in Cornwall, open the malt of which, Pere-
grine, who has been many years ibtent from his !matey, and
nearly I. ling his life, pins the those by fwimming from, his
alp, which is la danger of being wrecked. He reaches the
Ilteb.Cow, a poor inn, upon Muagulla-hestli, and there learns
be is Beer Penzance; and that an old friend of his, Job Thorn-
berry (a brazier in that town), is run living. The voice of
diftrefs roan Jails his ear, he Mho: out, and prefendy returns
fupporting Mary, whom be has refcued from Robbers : from
her he learns that gat has, that morning, abandoned her tithe?'
haute, bring forfaken by her lover (Francis Rochdale), he be-
ing compelled by his father, Sir Simon, to marry lady Caro-
line Braymore, who, with her father, lard Fits Balsam, are
se thabianlien-boaie to adpit matters for that purple, and
that the is going to London to Peek an arytum. He prevails on
her to was his return Reuss tort sae:organ I Lets oat far Pen-
name ; arrives at the mate of Job at a time when
the bailiffs (under a commit/too of bankruptcy are in pogeigon
of his effete. Soon aloha; Mudd( known to the Brasier as one,
who, thirty years before, whin a boy, had been relieved by
him, and recommended to a Captain of a gdp at Falmouth, that
faunae having favoured him he had returned bane to reward
his benefaaor, to which intent he pe.duces a fmall hoz he hal
(want on more with, which had the name of " Joh Thornberry"
written upon it, afferting that the contents of it Waled to
him,as being the profit, pined upon tot which he had receiv-
ed from Job in dards. The Srazier declines his eters of *SR-
mace, obfervlng„ that his daughter Mary having detested
he has no one left to care for. It immediately occurs to Pere-
grine, that the malt be the girl he ben pit retread, and Omega
Job, if be will accept his offer, and confides it as a debt, he will
bring him to Ms daughter. This is cooknted to, and the bra-
Ziff', debts, amounting to Soca arc paid. Peregrine then con-
duets Job to his darghtcr, who is foam forgives by her father,
and by him accompanied to the hook of bir Simons Rochdale.
Job here, after having in vain demanded redrefs from Sir Si-
mon for the injury done his daughter, MOM with Peregrioe,
who is come hither to try his influence in behalf of the unhappy
family. lady Caroline Brayroore having learnt from ShuMa
ton, that Francis Rochdale Is fecretly attached to another, con-
tents to that Gentleman's addrefes, sod arrives at Sir Simmer
at abase when the endeavours of Thornberry and Peregrine
have proved fruitlefs. She acquaints Sir Simon of her marriage
with Sbuilteton, but the latter Rill oblUnately refutes to red:cgs

ere aggrieved brasier, when Peregrine declares !Angell to be.
and that he can prove he is eider brother to Sir Sinum,and heir
to the eltate of which be had Co long had poilliGon. Intelligence

alto at this time arrives, that the fliiP with Peregine's whcolie&
petty of board la fare to poet, aid tir Siam° at length .
to the union of the lovers.

This piece, which was well received through-
out, bears all the chargterillic marks of the Au-
thor's Rile of writing, the fentiments are elevated,
and the humour is Ttrong ; but the language in
which the former is conveyed is rather overloaded
with ornament, and the latter abounds rather too
much in pun and quibble. Some of the fituations
are alto of too grotefque a defeription for legitimate
Comedy, but the materials of the play are upon
the whole fo rich, and its moral objea is fo good,
that we will not fail idionfly attempt to impeach the
judgment of an audience who teemed on Saturday
night hurried away in a torrent of enthufiaßic ad.
miration.—As however it mull be adMitted, that
fometimes we may have too much of a good thing,
we will recommend to the Author to cut out loch a
quantity as will limit the performance of his play to
about three hours, leaving it to himfelf to cxercife
his own mile in the rejedion of extraneous matter ;
at prefent it is an hour too long. The different
*ems acquitted thenifelves greatly to the credit of
their talents. particularly Coosa, Jos stow, Em s-
a r, law is, FAIR( IT f, and BLANC. 1•1111: the latter,
who took the part which was intended for Mum.
nrw,delineated it in a Rile which proved bin, highly'
capable of tuilaining comic charatlers of rheifolf rare
order ; at the fame time we mull obferve, in jufii-
fication of Mr. Mu os refigning Sir slime Roth-
-414 remembering what we do of his OM Damao,
that the agonifed father of Mary would probably
have received foetse.very fine colouring from that
admirable *dor, so whole terrLar saarrer we thint
the part tather more tinted than to that of FAIr•
CITY, though it mull be allowed that the portrait
of Thensierr, exhibited by the latter, is drawn with
a mailerly hand. Mrs. Gases, in Nary, was very
ustercting ; Mrs H. joasssoh, is the charade/ of

La fr Caroline, evinced, in her deportment, anion,
and exprelLon, an cafe and grace which, in the fa-
thionahle walk, maybe cultivated with great effeft.
But as a fource of more ple4fantry titan any other
charafter, we are called upon to notice the excel-
lent performance of Joew avow x in the part of Brad-
granary. the Landlord of the Red Cow. His his.
mour was irrefidible ; and it is perhaps the moil
finifbed Irilh chanseer he has hitherto performed.
The following whimfical and Lyrical Epilogue
was to admirably given by him, in all his native
exuberance, and richnefs of humour, as to corn•
mind anuniverfal encore:
Since ipiloguapeaking to me is quite new,
Pray, allow me the help of a fiddle or two.
I'm as itrange to this job as the man in the moon ;
But I think, if I frog, 1 (hall (peak to fome tune.
Tol de rol, &c.

Now touching this Comedy, Critics may (sir—.
a trumpery, Bartleniy-Fair kind of I'l4y.
ft fawns, faith, of Smithfield, we all mull allow.
For it's all about Bull, and the Scene's the Red Cow.

Yet not without moral the Author indites;
For he points to the bleffings of EN cus r as w teS ItiOurs.
Let a Duke wrong a Brazier the Barrillers all
Know that brafs can do wondels in Weftminfter-hall
But was ever a tale fo improbable told.
As Peregrine (wimming with tinge lumps of Gold ?
Should a man who finks Calb, with Ca& try to fwim,
For a Pound to a Shilling, his Calk will fink him.
Let us find tome enure for this ftrange overfight,
I.et's fuppofe that his Guineas were moil of 'em light ;
Nay, thc Guineas for grappling the more, he might thank,
..—"fis amazing of late him they flick in the Bank !
One eircumflance keeps probability's law,
A beautiful female commies a farx parr
That's Nature—bat Critics, who do of praife in hex,
Will certainly not call the incident ettafte.
Now in Art, if not Nature, Tom Shufileton's found;
He's one of thole poppies who better were drown'd :
Of the w rfl Bowl-firm litter—fuchwhelps none admire;
Cluck 'main the Thames—they won't let k on fire.
Now I've touchl on the principal paints of the play,
Shall it run a few nights, or to night run away r
Your Votes, Friends and Critics, we sow reft upon;
The Ayes have 141 think, though it mayn't be enoree.
Oh, Mr. Dennis bulrruddery lives with his dear;
They're in ftyle,and agree Jae like Thunder and Beer.
An Iriflunan's blunders are pretty well heeler ;
But how charmingly furs Mr. Josasrout did ad!
Then fuccefs to John Bull—let this told be his pride,
Biefs the King of John Bull, and John Bull's Firefitle.
At John Bull's Fircfide fhookl a foe dare to frown,
May John neer want a poker to knock the foe down.
The Comedy was announced for this Evening
with univerfal approbation.
