Theatre

.—II. Dramatic. The common sewer for the most beastly and the most depraved senti­ments of loyalty, that a base-born, abject people, can make use of! A temple of worship, where the little, sceptered and tinselled creature is ador­ed with more veneration and reverence, than the great Creator! It is in these places tht a most impious, and blasphemous song is sung, during which time the obedient People are compelled, by force of arms, to stand up, uncovered, as if they were in a church!
