“But there is nothing which delights and terrifies our English Theatre so much as a Ghost, especially when he appears in a bloody Shirt. A Spectre has very often saved a Play, though he has done nothing but stalked across the Stage, or rose through a Cleft of it, and sunk again without speaking one Word.”

““Here is the steed that saved the day,
By carrying Sheridan into the fight,
From Winchester, twenty miles away!””
