With weaker passion will affect the heart
Than when the faithful eye beholds the part. —Francis.

[5.] The audience, whenever an individual hisses against the sense of the house, always silence the offender by crying, “there’s a goose in the pit (or wherever it is) turn him out,” and if he persists they expel him by force. It is to be hoped our audiences would follow the example. It is frequently necessary.
