Macbeth, ""Troilus, ""Pericles." and "Ham-

through, the whole re-assembled around a liy

brilliant ball, en- mdsQue, succeeded; and then
the society adjourned 10 partake of a splendid
supper supplied them by his honor the Mayor.
Here wit and wine sparkled together, until the
midnight hour broke the charm, as daybreak
disperses fairies. As they vanished or retired,
none asked where, their Illuminated banner fitly
told their age object, and refined taste:
"Our reyels now are ended These cur actors,
AS foretold you, are all spirits, and
Are melted into air, into thin air.
And like the baseiess fabric of this vision
The cloud capd towers, the gorgeous palaces
The solemn temples, the great globe itself;
Yea, all which 1t inns rits shall dissolve,
And like this insubtantial pageant faded,
Leave not wreck behind.

splendid display; and so was the ball that
succeeded it-both taking place at the Alham-

These were the principal companies, though
other veiled and concealed figures fitted about

funny to see tiny Falsta6, boyish John of
