Mainpiece: Alter'd from $Shakespear=. <i>Victor, History of the Theatres</i>, II, 48: In the Year 1738, having, as he [$Colley Cibber=] said, Health and Strength enough to be as useful as ever, he came to Terms with $Mr Fleetwood= for his performing <i>Richard</i>r, <i>Fondlewife</i>r, <i>Sir John Brute</i>r, &c. All his Comedy Parts he was right in, but in Richard he found his Mistake; his usual Strength and Spirit failed him most unhappily. I went behind the Scenes in the third Act, and asking him how he fared? He whispered me in the Ear, "That he wou'd give fifty Guineas to be then sitting in his easy Chair by his own Fireside."
