Book Description
Excerpt from The Refusal; Or the Ladies Philosophy, a Comedy: Distinguishing Also the Variations of the Theatre Spoken by the Author. Gallants ! behold before your eyes the wight, Whose actions stand accountable to-night, For all your dividends of profit or delight. New plays resemble bubbles, we must own, But their intrinsic value soon is known, There's no imposing pleasure on a town. And when they fail, count o'er his pains and trouble, His doubts, his fears, the poet is a bubble. As heroes by the tragic muse are sung; So to the comic, knaves and fools belong: Follies, to-night, of various kinds we paint, One, in a female philosophic saint, That wou'd by learning nature's laws repeal, Warm all her sex's bosoms to rebel, And only with Platonic raptures swell. Long she resists the proper use of beauty, But flesh and blood reduce the dame to duty. A coxcomb too of modern stamp we show, A wit - but impudent - a South-Sea beau. Nay, more - our muses fire (but, pray, protect her) Roasts, to your taste, a whole South-Sea director. But let none think we bring him here in spite, For all their actions, sure, will bear the light; Besides, he's painted here in height of power, Long ere we laid such ruin at his door: When he was levee'd, like a statesman, by the town, And thought his heap'd-up millions all his own. No, no; stock's always at a thousand here' He'll almost honest on the stage appear. Such is our fare, to feed the mind our aim, But poets stand, like warriors, in their fame; One ill day's work brings all their past to shame. Thus having tasted of your former favour, The chance seems now for deeper stakes than ever. As after runs of luck, we're most accurst, To lose our winnings, than have lost at first; A first stake lost has often sav'd from ruin, But on one cast to lose the tout - is hard undoing. But be it as it may - the dye is thrown, Fear now were folly - Pass the Rubicon. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars. The eighteenth-century fascination with Greek and Roman antiquity followed the systematic excavation of the ruins at Pompeii and Herculaneum in southern Italy; and after 1750 a neoclassical style dominated all artistic fields. The titles here trace developments in mostly English-language works on painting, sculpture, architecture, music, theater, and other disciplines. Instructional works on musical instruments, catalogs of art objects, comic operas, and more are also included. ++++ The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title. This data is provided as an additional tool in helping to insure edition identification: ++++ British Library T046638 Final leaf contains epilogue. Titlepage printed in red and black. Founded on Molière's 'Les Femmes savantes'. London: printed for J. and R. Tonson, J. Watts, and W. Reeve, 1753. 104, [2]p.: ill.; 12°
