In acting “there is more behind.”

Some say, so stately is thy mien,

High tragic rôles thou well could’st bear;

Let’s hope as Genius thou’lt be seen,

As well as fairest of the fair.

Through long and trying scenes to go,

Not pleased by Flattery’s smooth review,

Nor grieved when critics “slate” the “show?”

As yet, they don’t agree at all
