YORK
Disturb him not—let him pass peaceably.
ELEANOR
Lord Cardinal;—if thou think'st of Heaven's bliss
Hold up thy hand;—make signal of that hope.
He dies;—and makes no sign!—
In praise of this tragedy, Mr. Welsted has prefixed a very elegant copy of verses.
Mr. Philips by a way of writing very peculiar, procured to himself the name of Namby Pamby. This was first bestowed on him by Harry Cary, who burlesqued some little pieces of his, in so humorous a manner, that for a long while, Harry's burlesque, passed for Swift's with many; and by others were given to Pope: 'Tis certain, each at first, took it for the other's composition.
In ridicule of this manner, the ingenious Hawkins Brown, Esq; now a Member of Parliament, in his excellent burlesque piece called The Pipe of Tobacco, has written an imitation, in which the resemblance is so great, as not to be distinguished from the original. This gentleman has burlesqued the following eminent authors, by such a close imitation of their turn of verse, that it has not the appearance of a copy, but an original.
