Sure such a concern in the eyes of spectators,
Was never yet seen in our amphi-theatres.
Our commons and peers from their several places,
To half an inch distance all pointed their faces;
the rays of old Phoebus, that shot thro' the sky-light,
Seem'd to make on the stage a new kind of twilight;
And the Gods without doubt, if one cou'd but have seen 'em,
Were peeping there thro' to do justice between 'em.
