Just printed, published, and now selling at Bell's Book-
Store in Third-Street, Philadelphia (Price Two Thirds of a
Dollar)
The Maid of Oaks, a new dramatic entertainment, as it is
performed at the Theatre-Royal in Drury-Lane.
Here is a show as brilliant as at Cox's--
Laugh for the pit-- and may be the boxes--
Touches of passion, tender, though not tragic,
Strokes of the times-- a kind of lanthorn magic;
Song, chorus, frolic, dance, and rural play,
The merry making of a wedding day.
[signed] Prologue.
Also now selling at said book store (price Two Thirds of a
Dollar)
The Romance of an Hour, a new comedy of two acts.
As it is performed, with universal applause, at the Theatre-
Royal in Covent-Garden. Written by Hugh Kelly, Esq; of the
Middle Temple, author of False Delicacy, A Word to the Wise,
Clementian, The School for Wives, &c. &c.
He brings, indeed, a character to view,
From Indian climes, he trusts, intirely new--
A poor Gentoo, compos'd of virtue all,
Tho' fresh from English nabobs at Bengal.
Prol.
