LINTHWAITE FARRANT, Registrar: Deputat: Assumpt.

Mr. CONGREVE died about five o'Clock, on Sunday Morning, January the 19th 1728-9, at his House in Surrey-street in the Strand, in the 57th Year of his Age; and on the Sunday following, January 26th, his Corps lay in State in the Jerusalem Chamber; from whence, the same Evening, be­tween the Hours of Nine and Ten, it was carried, with great Decency and Solemnity, into King HENRY the VIIth's Chapel in Westminster-Abbey, and Interred near the late Earl of Godol­phin. The PALL was supported by, I. the Duke of Bridgewater. II. Earl of Godolphin. III. Lord Cobham. IV. Lord Wilmington. V. The Honourable George Berkeley, Esq VI. Brigadier­General Churchill. And Colonel Con­greve followed the Corps as Chief Mourner.

CHARACTERS OF Mr. CONGREVE.

IN easy Dialogue is FLETCHER's Praise:
He mov'd the Soul, but had not Power to raise.
Great JOHNSON did by Strength of Judgment please,
Yet doubling FLETCHER 's Force, he wants his Ease:
In diff'ring Talents, Both adorn'd their Age;
One for the Study, t'other for the Stage.
But Both to CONGREVE justly shall submit,
ONE match'd in Judgment, BOTH o'er-match'd in Wit.
In Him, All Beauties of this Age we see;
ETHEREGE 's Courtship, SOUTHERN 's Purity;
The Satire, Wit, and Strength, of manly WYCHERLEY.
DRYDEN.

Mr. Addison's Character OF THE Old BATCHELOR. *

IN the Character which gives Name to this Play, there is excellently re­presented the Reluctance of a battered Debaucheé to come into the Trammels of Order and Decency: He neither languishes, nor burns, but frets for Love. The Gentlemen of more regular Behaviour, are drawn with much Spirit and Wit; and the Drama introduced by the Dialogue of the first Scene, with uncommon, yet natural Conversation. The Part of Fondlewife is a lively Image of the unseasonable Fondness of Age and Impotence.

Sir Richard Blackmore's CHARACTER OF THE Mourning Bride. *

THIS Poem has received, and in my Opinion, very justly, uni­versal Applause; being look'd on as the most perfect Tragedy that has been wrote in this Age. The Fable, as far as I can judge at first Sight, is a very artful and masterly Contrivance; the Characters are well chosen and well [Page 21] delineated; that of ZARA is admi­rable. The Passions are well touch'd, and skilfully wrought up. The Diction, proper, clear, beautiful, noble, and di­versified agreeably to the Variety of the Subject. Vice, as it ought to be, is punish'd; and oppressed-Innocence at last rewarded. Nature appears very hap­pily imitated (excepting one or two doubtful Instances) thro' the whole Piece; in which there are no immodest Images or Expressions; no wild un­natural Rants, but (some Exceptions being allowed) all Things are chaste, just, and decent.

This Tragedy, as I said before, has mightily obtained, and that without the unnatural and foolish Mixture of Force and Buffoonery; without so much as a Song, or a Dance, to make it [Page 22] more agreeable. By this it appears, that as a sufficient Genius can recom­mend itself, and furnish out abundant Matter of Pleasure and Admiration, without the paultry Helps above named; so likewise, that the Taste of the Nation is not so far deprav'd, but that a regular and chaste Play will not only be forgiven, but highly ap­plauded.

Major PACK's SENTIMENTS IN His Essay on Study.

CONGREVE of all the Mo­derns, seems to me, to have the rightest Turn for Comedy. In all his Plays there is a great deal of lively and uncommon Humour, and such as yet, for the most Part, is a Picture of true Life. Besides, he hath raised the Vein of Ridicule, and made the STAGE, which had been too much prostituted to the Mob, edifying to Persons of the [Page 24] first Condition. And as his Fable is Diverting, so is it wrought accord­ing to the strictest Rules.

The following EPISTLE, Of right­ly improving the present Time, written to Lord Cobham, is here printed from a Ma­nuscript of the Author, with which I was obliged by a Person of the first Rank: The Public having been notoriously abused, by a very erroneous Copy, sur­reptitiously obtained, by one LEWIS in Covent-Garden, and vended under the Cover of A. DODD, and E. NUTT.

VERSES To the Right Honourable the Lord Viscount Cobham.
Of Improving the present Time.

SINCEREST Critic of my Prose, or Rhime,
Tell how thy pleasing STOWE † employs thy Time.
Say, COBHAM, what amuses thy Retreat?
Or Stratagems of War, or Schemes of State?
Dost thou recal to Mind with Joy, or Grief,
Great MARLBRO's Actions? That immortal Chief,
Whose slightest Trophy rais'd in each Campaign,
More than suffic'd to signalize a Reign?
[Page 26] Does thy Remembrance rising warm thy Heart,
With Glory past, where Thou thy self hadst Part,
Or dost thou grieve indignant, now to see,
The fruitless End of all thy Victory?
To see th' Audacious Foe, so late subdu'd,
Dispute those Terms for which so long they su'd,
As if BRITANNIA now were sunk so low,
To beg that PEACE she wonted to bestow,
Be far that Guilt! be never known that Shame!
That ENGLAND shou'd retract her rightful Claim,
Or ceasing to be dreaded and ador'd,
Stain with her Pen the Lustre of her Sword.
Or dost thou give the Winds a-far to blow,
Each vexing-Thought, and Heart-devouring Woe,
And fix thy Mind alone on rural Scenes,
To turn the level'd Lawns to liquid Plains,
To raise the creeping Rills from humble Beds,
And force the latent Springs to lift their Heads,
On watry Columns, Capitals to rear,
That mix their flowing Curls with upper Air.
Or dost Thou, weary grown, these Works neglect,
No Temples, Statues, Obelisks erect,
But catch the morning Breeze from fragrant Meads,
Or shun the Noon-tide Ray in wholsom Shades,
[Page 27] Or slowly walk, along the mazy Wood,
To meditate on all that's wise and good,
For Nature bountiful, in Thee has join'd,
A Person pleasing with a worthy Mind,
Not given the Form alone, but Means, and Art,
To draw the Eye, or to allure the Heart.
Poor were the Praise in Fortune to excel,
Yet want the Way to use that Fortune well.
While thus adorn'd, while thus with Virtue crown'd,
At Home, in Peace; Abroad, in Arms renown'd;
Graceful in Form, and winning in Address,
While well you think, what aptly you express,
With Health, with Honour, with a fair Estate,
A Table free, and elegantly neat.
What can be added more to mortal Bliss?
What can he want that stands possest of This?
What can the fondest wishing Mother more,
Of Heaven attentive for her Son implore?
And yet a Happiness remains unknown,
Or to Philosophy reveal'd alone;
A Precept, which unpractis'd renders vain,
Thy flowing Hopes, and Pleasure turns to Pain.
Shou'd Hope, and Fear thy Heart alternate tear,
Or Love, or Hate, or Rage, or anxious Care,
[Page 28] Whatever Passions may thy Mind infest,
(Where is that Mind which Passions ne'er molest?)
Amidst the Pangs of such intestine Strife,
Still think the PRESENT DAY, the LAST of LIFE;
Defer not till to Morrow to be Wise,
To Morrow's SUN, to Thee may never rise.
Or shou'd to Morrow chance to cheer thy Sight,
With her enliv'ning and unlookt-for Light,
How grateful will appear her dawning Rays!
As Favours unexpected doubly please.
Who thus can think, and who such Thoughts pursues,
Content may keep his Life, or calmly lose;
All Proofs of this Thou may'st thy self receive,
When Leisure from Affairs will give thee Leave.
Come, see thy Friend, retir'd without Regret,
Forgetting Care, or striving to forget;
In easy Contemplation soothing Time
With Morals much, and now and then with Rhime,
Not so robust in Body, as in Mind,
And always undejected, tho' declin'd;
Not wond'ring at the World's new wicked Ways,
Compar'd with those of our Fore-fathers Days,
[Page 29] For Virtue now is neither more or less,
And Vice is only vary'd in the Dress:
Believe it, Men have ever been the same,
And Ovid's GOLDEN AGE, is but a Dream.
WILLIAM CONGREVE.

THE TRUE COPY OF AN AFFIDAVIT, Made before one of His Majesty's Ju­stices of the Peace for the City of Westminster.

THAT four LADIES, whom the Deponent does not care to Name, repair nightly to a certain con­venient Place, near St. James's, to meet their GALLANTS of the first Rank; whom your Deponent will not Name, but so far describe them, that two [Page 31] of them are Sallow, and two of the ruddy Complexion; and that he verily believes, they were most abominably painted.

The LADIES when they begin their Gambols, call their GALLANTS by the fond Nick-names of Hercules, Cupid, Pit, and the Gardiner. After a plentiful Service of the most costly Fare, they begin their Tricks which they play like the Tumblers in Bartholomew-Fair upon a Carpet, strip is the Word; nay, your Deponent has known them strip a Gentleman who came acci­dently into the House. At first, they begin pretty courtly, at least in their Expressions, as, Madam, by your leave, or so; which the LADIES are so good as seldom to deny. Afterwards, it is shameful to describe the Tricks that are play'd by this lewd Pack. By an established [Page 32] Rule, each Lady has the Choice of her Gallant in her Turn, and some have been known so unreasonable, af­ter they have had Three, to call for a Fourth. Your Deponent has seen a Lady on her Back, a Man o'Top of her, and a Lady o'Top of him; and he avers, it has been known, that a Court Valet has stript them all. Sometimes they are thrown on their Backs, sometimes on their Bellies now higgledy piggledy, and anon, they are all o'Top of one another; and if any one is call'd upon, they are oblig'd to show ALL. Of the same Nature is their Discourse, your Deponent has often over-heard them talking of their A—es, with the same Familiarity as their Faces; I have a Black one, says one, and named the Thing directly; mine is better than yours, says the other, [Page 33] and Names her Thing; must I be laught at, says a Third, because I have a red one. There is one monstrous Thing that your Deponent is almost ashamed to mention; after Six, a Lady has asked if they could do no more; nay, a certain Lady has been known to play all the Tricks over by her self. Your Deponent likewise avers, that he has full Proof, after the LADIES have been tired with their GALLANTS, they have called for fresh ones: In short the aforesaid LADIES, have not only, spent their Pin-Money, but their Husband's Estates, upon Hercules, Cupid, Pit, and the Gardiner, and when they want more Money, they commonly Pawn their Jewels, &c.
