Another pillar of the Church is pointing out that the Corsican has not acted with his usual cunning, 'You forgot your old Uncle, the new bishop--if you had made me Pope I should have let the crown down easier!' The ceremony is parodied in the background, monkeys taking the place of the actual performers, only in this case the imperial ape is seated in state, with sceptre and orb, in greater security. 1804. _Theatrical Leap-frog._ Published by Ackermann, Strand.--The young Roscius, as an infant prodigy, is flying over the back of Kemble, both the performers being dressed in the habit then customary for Hamlet--'Alas!' cries Kemble, 'is it come to this? Ah, woe is me! seeing what I have seen, seeing what I see! O Roscius!' _December, 1804._ _Melpomene in the Dumps, or Child's Play defended by Theatrical Monarchs._ Published by Ackermann, Strand.--Mrs. Siddons in tragic swathings, one arm resting on a table, her other hand extended in an interlocutory attitude, while her foot is resting on a stool; on the table are books--_Salary Benefits_, _The Rights of Woman_, and _The Duty of Man_. On the wall is hung Bunbury's _Propagation of a Lie_. John Philip Kemble is resting his hand on her shoulder, and another gentleman, hat in hand, is pointing with his finger to a shorter figure, probably intended for the person of Colonel Topham, Editor of _The World_, '_More Soldier than Scholar!_' THE DEBATE OR ARGUMENT. _Melpomene._ And pray, Mr. Monarch, how long am I to be confined to this _box fever_, or nervous rheumatism in my loins? A pretty business you have made of this season; what between your _Blind Bargain_ and _Infant Roscius_, you think to send me to the ground; but let me caution you, that 'if once I do but stir or lift this arm, the best of you shall sink in my rebuke. Give me to know how this foul rout began, who set it on, and he that is approved in the offence, though he hath twinned with me, _both at a birth_ shall lose me.'
