'Tis strange! here was "a voice that hath failed," and little or nothing said of it "Died at Worcester, on , the celebrated vocalist, Charles Incledon," without further comment, was all that most of the periodicals said at his decease. I recollect nothing worthy of him being put forth, no essay upon his voice and style and why? because poor Charles Incledon had ceased to be the fashion!
He was a great singer, sir, and I may say, in the words of our immortal Shakspeare, that, take him for all in all, we shall not look upon his like again." The Colonel blushed in his turn, and turning round to his boy with an arch smile, said, "I learnt it from Incledon.

Incledon used to wish that his old music-master could come down from heaven to Norwich, and could take the coach up to London to hear that d d Jew sing, referring thus civilly to the respectable John Braham. I have sometimes wished that Shakspeare could make a similar descent, and face his critics.
