Hermione [see 19 Jan.]: @Great was th' Applause you met, great your desert,@You charm'd the Eye, the Ear, the Head, the Heart.@Amaz'd we saw you at the first appear,@Ev'n in the hardest part, a perfect play'r.@Your person, your deportment set to view,@The youthful princess that the poet drew.@All was propriety,
and all was grace,@We read the author's meaning in your face.@Your elocution was both just
and strong,@Mix'd with due ease,
and not an accent wrong,@Such varied Musick in your voice we heard,@That in the Tones both Taste
and Sense appear'd.@Love, Jealousy,
and Rage so well expres't@Engag'd our souls, nor knew we which was best,@'Twas Nature all-she form'd you for the stage,@Follow her steps,
and glad th' Admiring Age.-
