Excerpt from The Dramatic Works of Beaumont and Fletcher, Vol. 1 of 3: Printed From the Text, and With the Notes of the Late George Colman, Esq.
Mr. Dryden, in his Essay of Dramatic Poetry, page 17, (in the first volume of the 'folio edition of his works) in a comparison of the French and English comedy, says, As for corned repartee is one of its chiefest graces. The greatest fpleasure of an audience is a chase of wit kept up on both sides, and swi tly managed: And this our forefathers (if not we) have had in Fletcher's plays, to a much higher degree of perfection than the French poets can arrive at.
