THE REPEATER AT THE PLAY.
Of all the great nuisances living That man at tho play is the worst, Who must to his neighbour keep giving The words that have just been reheara't. Ho repeats Hamlet's words to Ophelia; Othello's farewell, so sublime; And Eosalind's talk to Miss Celia; And Cassio's remarks upon wine; Macboth's conversation with witches, And Juliet's balcony chat, Lear's rant 'mid tho fens and the ditches, And the humour of Falstaff tho fat. Thore is nothing can 'scape this repeater; He's revolving for ever and aye, He's a bore that would worry St. Peter, And he ought to be blown to the sky.
