23-30 May 1766:12 (9/395)
London, January 23. Last Tuesday morning, died at Bath, the
celebrated Mr. Quin, who for many years greatly
distinguished himself as an actor on the English stage;
which on account of his bad state of health, he was obliged
to quit. In the year 1748, he came from Bath to play the
part of Othello, at Covent-Garden theatre, for the benefit
of the poor unhappy sufferers by the fire in Cornhill, which
happened the 25th of March in the same year. He was a
gentleman universally respected by all who had the pleasure
of his acquaintance.
Lusisii satis, edisiti satis, atque bibisti;
Tempus abire tibi.
Alas, poor Quin! thy jests and stories
Are quite extinguish'd; and, what more is,
There's no Jack Falstaff, no John Dories.
