No; play like me—an honest knife and fork.

TRIP. That part would be well played by many a poet,

Had he the practice one must have, to know it,

But ’tis the verdict by the public past,

Must sentence scribblers or to feast or fast.

Be kind to-night: in triplet tone I sue,

As actor, manager, and author too.

POM. Mind that for sentence when they call the cause on,

You’ve at least one Peg here—to hang applause on.
