[some text pulled from alternate, printed copy] Lines from Mr Garrick to a nobleman who asked him if he did not intend being in Parliament

[M]ore than content with what my Labours gain [Of] Public favour though a little vain; [Ye]t not so vain my mind, so madly bent. [To] wish to play the fool in Parliament; [In] each dramatic unity to err; Mistaking time and place and character! [W]ere it my fate to quit the mimic art. [I'd] "strut & fret" no more in any part; [N]o more in public scenes would I engage [Or] wear the cap & mask on any stage.
