London Intelligence. By the last Ships, February 20. . .
When their Majesties were at Drury-Lane Theatre to see the
Winter's Tale, as Mr. Garrick was repeating the two
following lines of the occasional Prologue to that
celebrated Piece:
"For you, my Hearts of Oak, for your Regale,
"Here's a good old English Stingo, mild and stale."
An honest fellow cried out of the Shilling Gallery, "At
threepence a pot, Mr. Garrick, or confusion to the brewers,"
which was so well received by the whole house, as to produce
a plaudit of universal approbation. . .
