All things are order'd as I have written you at large; our Scenes and all our Properties are ready; we have no more to do but to banter the old Gentleman into a little more Faith, which the next Visit of our new Cabalist Charmante will complete. Enter some Anticks, and dance. They all sit the while. Ela.

It is much safer for him to say that "Shake-scene" is not meant for Shakespeare. Nobody can prove that it IS; the pun MAY be a strange coincidence, or any one may say that he thinks it nothing more; if he pleases. Like all players, who are all "anticks garnisht in our colours," Shake-scene, AS PLAYER, is "beautified with our feathers." It is Mr.

"Step in here, madam, into the antick room, and I'll see if the President can see you;" and he started off sudden, bein' called. And I jest turned round and looked after him, for I wanted to enquire into it. I had heard of their cuttin' up anticks at Washington, I had come prepared for it; but I didn't know as they was bold enough to come right out, and have rooms devoted to that purpose.

As if we had not wit enough to be foolish unless we were taught it. These dresses, being constant in their mutability, show us our masters. What is it that we have not learned of our neighbours, save only to be proud good-cheap? whom would it not vex to see how that the other sex hath learned to make anticks and monsters of themselves?

It is highly probable that the actors also acquired most of the popular renown, for, even now, playgoers have much to say about the players in a piece, while they seldom know the name of the playwright. Women fall in love with the actors, not with the authors; but with "those puppets," as Greene says, "that speake from our mouths, these anticks, garnished in our colours."

She wanted him 'guided by love alone. Well, that's what he's been guided with, an', you can take it from me, love's made a hash of it, as it ushally does when it ain't mixed with a little common sense. You'd oughta see that fella's anticks when his mother, an' Lord Ronald, ain't by. He'd raise the hair offn your head, if you hadn't a spear of it there to begin with.

"It's a fine room," said Mr. Jope, walking up to a statue of Diana: "but a man couldn' hardly invite a mixed company to dinner here." "Symonds's f'r instance," suggested Mr. Adams. Symonds's being a somewhat notorious boarding-house in a street of Plymouth which shall be nameless. "You ought to be ashamed o' yourself, Bill," said Mr. Jope sternly. "They're anticks, that's what they are." Mr.

Greene says absolutely nothing about feathers "WHICH HE HAS STOLEN." The "feathers," the words of the plays, were bought, not stolen, by the actors, "anticks garnished in our colours."

And I looked all round the room before I ventured in. But it looked neat as a pin, and not a soul in there; and thinks'es I, "It hain't probable their day for cuttin' up anticks. I guess I'll venture." So I went in. But I sot pretty near the edge of the chair, ready to jump at the first thing I didn't like. And I kep' a close holt of the boy. I felt that I was right in the midst of dangers.

Howbeit, as a man who hath his way to make in the world, I kept mine eyes well upon the anticks of the Great, while my Lord joined the group of maskers and their follies.
