What do you Top upon me? c. do you stick a little Wax to the Dice to keep them together, to get the Chance, you wou'd have? He thought to have Topt upon me. c. he design'd to have Put upon me, Sharpt me, Bullied me, or Affronted me. p. 251 we are not half in kelter.
Do you think so, Jacinta? Ha, ha, ha. Jac. That Laugh again, oh Heavens, how it charms! Cla. And how graceful 'tis! Jac. Ah, nothing but a great gilt Coach will become it. Cla.

It ought to touch no body but whom it concerns; and it has its end, if it reclaims where it was design'd, and prevents others, by shewing the Danger: And this is the Design of Comedy. But the Question is, Whether our Poets have managed it as they ought? Whether they have not pick'd out a particular Person, and expos'd the Character in general, under the Notion of one Man?
Casbury came by part of the hangings of it, which 'twas said this Charlett had design'd expressly for a memorial of his Hair, giving the Fellow that drew it a lock to work by, and the piece which I have fasten'd in here was parcel of the same, which Mr. Casbury gave to me.
