While look and voice and gesture all. expressed A kindred ardour in the player's breast, Till, as the flame through all his bosom ran He lost the actor, and commenced the man; Professed the faith his Pagan gods denied. And what he acted then, he after died. Lloyd. The Stage remained under a cloud for nearly two centuries, when it was made use of, for instruc- tive purposes only, in the Miracle Plays.

I can conceive few things more intensely interesting.
