עמוד 80 - There motley Images her fancy strike, Figures ill pair'd, and Similies unlike. She sees a Mob of Metaphors advance, Pleas'd with the madness of the mazy dance: How Tragedy and Comedy embrace; How Farce and Epic get a jumbled race; How Time himself stands still at her command, Realms shift their place, and Ocean turns to land.
עמוד 210 - Furthermore, it drove out of England (for that season) the Italian Opera, which had carried all before it for ten years.

עמוד xxvi - Whether Mr. Addifon did find it conformable to his tafte, or not, beft appears from his own teftimony the year following its publication, in thefe words : Mr.
עמוד 296 - ... would not find their account in employing them, or the men themfelves, when difcovered, want courage to proceed in fo unlawful an occupation. This it was that gave birth to The Dunciad, and he thought it an happinefs, that by the late flood of flander on himfelf, he had acquired fuch a peculiar right over their names, as was neceflary to this defign.
