Just printed, published, and now selling by Robert Bell,
next door to St. Paul's Church, in Third-street,
Philadelphia, price two thirds of a dollar,
The Maid of the Oaks: A new dramatic entertainment. As it
is performed at the Theatre-Royal, in Drury-lane.
Here is a show, as brilliant as a cox's--
Laugh for the pit--and may be at the boxes--
Touches of passion, tender, though not tragic,
Strokes at the times--a kind of lancers magic;
Song, chorus, frolic, dance, and rural play,
The merry-making of a wedding-day. 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,
Covent-Garden. Written by Hugh Kelly, Esq; of the Middle
Temple, author of False Delicacy, A Word to the Wise,
Clementina, The School for Wives, &c. &c.
He brings, indeed, a character to view,
From Indian climes, he trusts entirely new--
A poor Gentab [?], compos'd of virtues all,
Tho' fresh from English Nabobs at Bengal. Prologue
