heard of any English Farce with Greek Chorus's before. I reckon it is damn'd low Stuff. Q Scrib: That it is I'll answer for it before I see it. Sr. Rog: Harkee, Seignor, be it Tragedy or Farce I don't Care a Hare's Scut, so there is but Fun in it. but none of your French Fricassies according to Rule! haux, haux, my honies; give us a fair Burst of Fun, my dear, & we'll follow you for fifty nights end-ways, haux, haux, something of the Antients now-- Something of a-- a-- old Shakespear, or Horace, or Homer, or Ben Johnson, as they have at Drury Lane. do you hear-- Something that way & I'll engage it takes. but if it is any of your New Moral Stuff, according to Rule, I shall Tip it a dead Hollow, (#Hollows#) think of that and be dull if you dare.

Pas: Madam, you may assure your self that the Virgin Particles of Your Modesty shall never be Agitated by the Amorous Transparancy of Pasquin's Obscenity. (#Mimicking her#) Hyd: Look, look, if the impudent Rogue is not taking the Old Maid Off to her face, & she does not See it. Omn: Ha, ha, ha. Dia. Sir, I am your humble-- Pas. Your devoted-- Dia.
