Excerpt from The Borough, Vol. 2 of 2: A Poem, in Twenty-Four Letters
Nor without Cause; the Boards, we know, can yield Place for fierce Contest, like the tented Field.
Graceful to tread the Stage, to be in turn The Prince we honour and the Knave we spurn; Bravely to bear the Tumult of the Crowd, The Hiss tremendous, and the Censure loud These are their Parts, - and he who these sustains, Deserves some Praise and Profit for his Pains. Heroes at least of gentler kind are they, Against whose Swords no weeping Widows pray.
