"IF Manly Sense; if Nature, link'd with Art;
"If thorough Knowledge of the Human Heart;
"If Pow'rs of Acting, vast and unconfin'd;
"If fewest Faults, with greatest Beauties join'd;
"If strong Expression, and strange Pow'rs, which lie
"Within the magic circle of the eye;
"If Feelings which few hearts, like His, can know,
"And which no Face so well as His can shew;
"Deserve the Pref'rence; — GARRICK take the Chair;
"Nor quit it — 'till Thou place an Equal There.
