Month after month the lucky boy Revel'd in sweets without alloy, But when (the usual fate of skill prococioiis) The favourite youth at length outgrew His boyhood, and his talent too, Fashion deserted him and farewell Roscius. Yet, pamper'd by this choice tit-bit so long, The vitiated palate of the throng, To old substantial dishes scorn'd returning. The stage, (altho' detcrm...ui'd not to throw It's pearls to hogs, ) Ne'er strove to rally them, but fed their wants With hour-long combats, horses, elephants, Cascades of real water, castles burning, Rope-dancers, swinging-monkies, rarce show.
