pudorem_fw-la but_o restore_v these_o guise_n to_o their_o proper_a owner_n the_o stage-player_n let_v we_o proceed_v from_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o larva_fw-la to_o our_o first_o enquiry_n about_o farce_n and_o whether_o or_o no_o the_o ancient_n have_v any_o such_o species_n of_o stage-poetry_n in_o the_o first_o place_n i_o will_v ask_v the_o reader_n opinion_n if_o he_o can_v suppose_v any_o more_o genuine_a and_o natural_a use_n of_o those_o larvae_n or_o vizard_n which_o we_o have_v describe_v than_o for_o farce-player_n especial_o if_o we_o take_v in_o those_o other_o

farce_n i_o have_v not_o yet_o see_v any_o definition_n of_o farce_n and_o dare_v not_o be_v the_o first_o that_o venture_v to_o define_v it_o i_o know_v not_o by_o what_o fate_n it_o happen_v in_o

representation_n that_o it_o will_v strain_v the_o best_a invention_n to_o find_v they_o out_o and_o require_v the_o nice_a judgement_n to_o manage_v they_o when_o they_o be_v conceive_v extravagant_a and_o monstrous_a fancy_n be_v but_o sick_a dream_n that_o rather_o torment_v than_o divert_v the_o mind_n but_o when_o extravagancy_n and_o improbability_n happen_v to_o please_v at_o all_o they_o do_v it_o to_o purpose_n because_o they_o strike_v our_o thought_n with_o great_a surprise_n but_o to_o our_o question_n i_o can_v aver_v that_o the_o ancient_n have_v entertainment_n on_o the_o stage_n entire_o resemble_v the_o harlequin_n and_o scaramouch_n but_o it_o be_v high_o probable_a that_o the_o satirical_a diversion_n and_o interlude_n invent_v to_o farce_n relieve_v the_o heaviness_n of_o tragedy_n be_v of_o this_o nature_n for_o that_o they_o be_v introduce_v for_o mirth_n and_o raillery_n and_o thereby_o to_o help_v off_o the_o serious_a action_n be_v express_o
