Fielding, whom Byron terms ''the

fridge, a rustic, attends the thea.er in
London and witnesses the play of Ham

vid Garrick takes the part of the Prince.
Mr.. Fielding observes, ''In this mis-
take which caused much laughter
in the neighborhood of Partridge, he
was suffered to continue till the scene
between the ghost and Hamlet, when
Partridge gave that credit to Mr.. Gar
rick which he had denied to Jones, and
fell into Sc violent a trembling that his
knees Knocked against each other.
Jones asked him what was the matter,
and whether he was afraid of the war
rior upon the stage? oh la, SIR said

me. | am not afraid of any thing, for I
know it is but play and know if it

art so perfectly that from his very adj
