"Being at the Opera House last week to see the <i>Conscious Lovers</i> and <i>As You Like It</i>, not to mention the various and allowed excellencies of each performer, I was most agreeably surprized at the songs, in the bills said to be sung by a Gentleman, which indeed his genteel figure and polite address, at first sight well authenticated; but for the songs, viz. <i>If Love's a Sweet Passion</i>,--<i>Blow, Blow Thou Winter's Wind</i>,--with some others I must confess I never heard the like; his voice was finely masculine, strong, sweet, clear and articulate; his manner not servilely confined to the pedantic stiffness of some, or the affectation of others; in a word he sung like a Gentleman; and the sound, as $Milton= elegantly expresses it, 'Floated the Wings of silence.' This is not intended (by doing justice to $Mr D. B@@y=) to depreciate any....I am told he has applied to $Mr Beard=, with what success I know not, [hopes he will be one of the new singers at <i>Covent Garden</i>] signed $T. S.="] .
