ObserverJ
1T is a Folly in a Singer to grow vain
at the first Applause. without rejecting
whether they are given by Chance, or out
OF Flattery: and IL he thinks he deserves
them. there is an End of him"
HE that sings with Applause in one
Place only, let him not have too good an
Opinion Of himself: let him often change
Climates, and then he will Judge better Of
his Talent"
The best Singer in the World continues
to study, and persists in it as much to
maintain his Reputation, as he did to ac-
quire it."
"A Singer is lazy, who on the Stage from
Night to Night, teaches the Audience all
his Songs: who. by hearing them always
without the least Variation, have no Diff
Guilty to learn them by Heart"
1t is very gratifying to find the renowned
Master, Tosi, at the close OF his career re-
ferring students to The Bee. The Bee APP
| preclates the compliment most deeply, and
is grateful. He says:
FINALLY, o We young Singers, hearken to
me for your Profit and Advantage. The
Abuses, the Defects and the Errors d.
vulg'd by me in these Observations-were
once almost all Faults I myself was guilty
OF, and in the Flower Of my Youth, when
l thought myself a great Man. It was not
easy for me to discover them-But since 1
nave suffered by my Ignorance. let it at
least serve for a Warning to amend those
who wish to sing well. He that studies. let
him initiate the ingenious Bee, that sucks
its Honey from the most grateful Flowers"
Remember what has been wisely OBJ
served, that Mediocrity of Merit can but
for a short time eclipse the true Sublime,
which, how old soever IT grows, can never
die"
"Abhor the Example OF those who hate
Correction: for like Lightning to those who
walk in the Dark, tho it frightens them,
1t gives them Light"
-
Such are some of the observations Of one
of the most renowned of the great masters
of singing of all time. They are as peril
nent today as when they were uttered al
most two centuries ago. He that hath an
ear let him hear the words of one who,
being dead, yet speaketh.
