What vulgarity, what pointless joking, what pitiable attempts to serve up old impromptus réchauffés! I found it impossible to stay to the end. Some actors, capable of better things, worked hard; there was a terrible air of effort in these attempts to be sprightly in fetters, and in rusty fetters.

Has Heav'n design'd me any but Celinda? Dia. Maid! Bless me! did I then love a Woman? I am pleas'd thou should'st renounce me; make it good, And set me free from Fetters which I hate. Bel. Friend. Was this the Wife you did demand of me? Bel. Yes, I had no other. Dia. Fair Maid! forgive me all my shameful Passion, And charge my Fault upon your Beauty only. Cel. Excellent Creature!
