Página 444 - To endure the frosts of danger, nay, of death, To be thought worthy the triumphal wreath By glorious undertakings, may deserve Reward or favour from the commonwealth ; Actors may put in for as large a share As all the sects of the philosophers : They with cold precepts (perhaps seldom read) Deliver ' what an honourable thing The active virtue is ; but does that fire The blood, or swell the veins with emulation, To be both good and great, equal to that Which is presented on our theatres ? Let a good...
