Event Comment: Benefit for Mrs Hoper. The Second Night. Mrs Hoper's Prologue to the Town, By a Friend: @Tonight a Female author heads the stage@Warm'd by the grand productions of the age;@To shine among the modern Bards aspires,@As the Moon glisters midst the lesser fires:@Pants to be rank'd with Sapho, Phillips, Behn@And prove that women write as well as Men.@Bold in the drama's cause, attacks the fashion@Where Novelty appears the reigning passion,@With drooping spirits draws the Tragic Queen@Like your fine ladies troubled with the spleen:@Nor trusts her meaning to the strolling Elf@But represents the character herself.@ [Suggests her friends reproved her for turning player, but she thought it more honorable than going into debt.] @The Stage is innocent and brings no shame@Unless the players are themselves to blame@'Twas meant as Virtue's School;--Tis no disgrace@To act a virtuous part, in any Place.@ [Closes with appeal to audience to be charitable to "this firstling of her quill, to support her generously with applause.
