And Beaumont's pilfered Caratach affords
A tragedy complete except in words.
Byron,
English Bards and Scotch Reviewers
(1809).
(Byron alludes to the "spectacle" of Caractacus produced by Thomas Sheridan at Drury Lane Theatre. It was Beaumont's tragedy of Bonduca, minus the dialogue.)
Digges [1720-1786] was the very absolute
"Caratach." The solid bulk of his frame, his
action, his voice, all marked him with identity.
