Hyd: The first Character I have the Honour to introduce to your Highness is the facetious Bob Smart, a professed Wit and Critic; no Man knows the Intrigues of the Court, the Theatres, or the City better, No Man has a finer Taste in the Belle' Letters, for he is deemed one of the best Gentlemen Harlequins in Europe, and is an Emminent Orator at the Robin Hood Society. Bob: Yes, Seignior, I am little Bob Smart at your Service; did you ever hear of me Abroad? Pas: Often, often Sir. Bob: I thought so; have you got ever a Harlequin in this Farce of yours, Mr. Drawcansir? Pas: No Sir. Bob: Then you'll be damn'd Sir. by your Bills I thought there was a Pantomime in it. I wish you had consulted me, I have wrote two-- And a Parcell of us intend next Winter to have one of the Theatres, and to treat the Public with the finest Pantomime that ever was seen, in Immitation of the Gentlemen Who Play'd Othello. Omn: Ha, ha, ha, Bravo, Bravo (_at the side of the Scenes_) Bob: Don't you think it will exceed Othello? Pas: Certainly Sir; and be a much more rational Entertainment, and what will Shew your Genius to vast Advantage. Bob: I am to do the Harlequin in it, tidi, doldi, doldi, doldi dee, tidi, doldi, doldi, doldi dee (#Sings & dances the Harlequin.#) Omn: Ha, ha, ha, ha, Bravo, Bravo. Bob: Do you think that will do Seignior? Pas: To Admiration. Bob: I practice it three Hours evry Morning, but what is the Nature of this Farce of yours? have you any Smart, ridiculous, droll Fellows in it ha! Pas: No Sir. they are all polite, Sensible, decent, Characters such as yours! Bob. Nay Igad if they are like me I'll engage they'll make the public laugh.-- for by all that's drole I always Set the Coffee House in a Roar when I am there, he! don't I Hydra. Hyd: Why you are the very Yorick of the Age. Bob: Igad I have more humour than Foot a thousand times; and I'll lay a Chaldron of Guineas to a Nutshell that my Pantomime, is a better thing than his Taste. I think I have some Fun in me demme. Hyd: This Mr. Pasquin is the Noted Sr. Conjecture Possitive; a Gentleman who was never in an Error in his Life,-- consequently cou'd never be convinced. Sr. he understands Politics and Butterflies, Whale fishing and Cricket, Fortification and Shittle Cock; Poetry and Wolf Dogs; in short ev'ry thing, in ev'ry Art and Science, from a Pins Head, to the Longitude & Philosopher's Stone, better than any Man in Europe. Sr. Con: O Fye, Mr. Hydra, you are too lavish, Mr. Pasquin will think you are imposing upon him. Hyd: Sir, he has such Segacity and Penetration that he can decypher a Lady's Affections, or a Statesman's Heart by a glance of the Eye; and has such profound critical Knowledge that he can pronounce upon a New Play the Moment he has heard the first Speech of it.
