His great parts were Fondlewife, in the Old Bachelor; Ben, in Love for Love; Hob, in the Country Wake, &c. Colley Cibber's account of him is one glowing panegyric. Colley played Fondle wife so completely after the manner of Dogget, copying his voice, person, and dress with such scrupulous exactness, that the audience, mistaking him for the original, applauded vociferously. Of this Dogget himself was a witness, for he sat in the pit.. “Whoever would see him pictured, * may view him in the character of Sawney, at the Duke's Head in Lynn-Regis, Norfolk.” Will the jovial spirit of Tony Aston point out where this interesting memento hides its head? “Go on, I'll follow thee.” He died at Eltham in Kent, 22nd September 1721. * The only portrait of Dogget known is a small print, representing him dancing the Cheshire Round, with the motto “Ne sut or ultra crepidam ** Baddeley, the comedian, bequeathed a yearly sum for ever, to be laid out in the purchase of a Twelfth-cake and wine, for the entertainment of the ladies and gentlemen of Drury Lane Theatre. How small an act of kindness will embalm a man's memory! Baddeley's Twelfth Cake ** shall be eaten, and Dogget's coat and badge * rowed for, While Christmas frolics, and while Thames shall flow. “And shall not,” said Mr. Bosky, “a bumper flow, in spite of the '_Sin of drinking healths?_” ** to Three merry men, three merry men, Three merry men they be! Two went dead, like sluggards, in bed; One in his shoes died of a noose That he got at Tyburn-Tree! Three merry men, three merry men, Three merry men are we! Push round the rummer in winter and summer, By a sea-coal fire, or when birds make a choir Under the green-wood tree! The sea-coal burns, and the spring returns, And the flowers are fair to see; But man fades fast when his summer is past, Winter snows on his cheeks blanch the rose-- No second spring has he! Let the world still wag as it will, Three merry wags are we! A bumper shall flow to Mat, Thomas, and Joe A sad pity that they had not for poor Mat Hang'd dear at Tyburn-Tree. * “This day the Coat and Badge given by Mr. Dogget, will be rowed for by six young watermen, out of their apprenticeship this year, from the Old Swan at Chelsea.”-- Daily Advertiser, July 31, 1753. ** The companion books to the “Sin of Drinking healths,” were the “Loathsomness of Long Haire,” and the “Unlove- liness of Love Locks,” by Messrs. Praise-God-Barebones and Fear-the-Lord Barbottle. CHAPTER II.
