Synopsis
Excerpt from Hexametrical Experiments, or a Version of Four of Virgils Pastorals: Including the Reputed Prophecy Respecting the Messiah Done in a Structure of Verse Similar to That of the Original Latin
While touching on experiments, can I refrain from Inquiring whether a good prologue in this hexametrical measure might not chance to take with the theatrical public? What if for once, it should make a hit by its novelty, and fill the theatre with hisses, and the treasury-box with receipts. Osez. The new fangledness of the thing might perhaps draw, though it were only to condemn; the storm before the curtain might give rise to a little sunshine behind it, and a few persevering recitations of this kind would soon form the general.
