But clappings and cheers this boy histrion hail.
What then is his Vision?
"The thoughts of youth, they are long, long thoughts;"
Exceedingly true, most mellifluous Longfellow!
But later come crosses, oft leading to noughts,
And "l'homme nécessaire" often finds he's the wrong fellow.
How many débuts have occurred on the Stage
With various set scenes, and with properties varied?
Sensationalism, the vice of the age,
To extremes has been carried.
