Event Comment: Benefit for the Lying-In Hospital for Married Women, in Brownlow Street, Long Acre. [On 18 Jan. appeared in the Public Advertiser the Occasional Epilogue]: @After this bounteous, well-intentioned play@You think I'm come to banter all away;@To mock the soft compassion in the breast,@And turn at once all charity to jest...@Tir'd of such arts, I'm now so serious grown@I mean to speak plain sentiments alone.@ [Then addressing each part of the house, with appropriate comment--and a good deal of banter--she praises marriage as an institution, and this hospital as an aid.] @Methinks I spy some amorous pairs above [to upper gallery]@Drawn here by tender flames of mutual love.@Close pack'd they sit,-and woo with secret squeeze,@With conscious elbows, sympathetic knees.@Go on my friends,-true to connubial law,@And leave to us the Women in the straw.
