Note 16 — SOME ACCOUNT OF A NEW PLAY.

Reading edition

An incident very like one in Jack Sheppard— A work some have lauded, and others have pepper'd— Where a Dutch pirate kidnaps, and tosses Thames Darrel Just so in the sea, and he's saved by a barrel,— On the coast, if I recollect rightly, it's flung whole, And the hero, half-drown'd, scrambles out of the bung-hole.

[It aint no sich thing!—the hero aint bung'd in no barrel at all.—He's picked up by a Captain, just as Norman was arterwards.—Print. Dev.]

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
