Broad Grins: Comprising, With New Additional Tales in Verse, Those; Formerly Publish'd Under the Title "My Night-Gown and; Slippers."
Colman, George
English poetry
[12] This is a palpable plagiarism. _Rolla_ thus addresses _Pizarro_:
"_Behold me_, at thy feet--_Me_,--_Rolla!_--Me, that never yet have
bent or _bow'd_--in humble _agony_ I _sue_ to you."--The theft is
more glaring, as the Apostrophe, both here, and in the original,
occurs in the midst of a strong incident, and is address'd to an
Enemy by a proud spirit, in very moving circumstances.
[13] _Vide_ Part 1st, page 61, lines 4-7.
[14] Shakspeare certainly borrow'd this expression from Sir Thomas.--See
_Macbeth_.
[15] This seems to be a _new comparative_; for which the Author takes to
himself due credit;--Novelty being scarce in poetical compositions.
G. NORMAN, PRINTER, MAIDEN LANE, COVENT GARDEN.
Transcriber's Note: The Table of Contents was added, as well as the
titles _My Night-gown and Slippers_ and _The Knight and the Friar_.
The use of quotation marks (") has been modernized; the spelling
and other idiosyncrasies have not.
