A wealthy lord of Ireland, had a goodly faire house new-built but the
broken bricks, tiles, sand, lime, &c. &c. lay confused in heapes about
the building; the lord demanded of his surveyor, wherefore the rubbish
was not carried away; the surveyor said he proposed to hyre an hundred
carts for the purpose. The lord replied, that the charge of carts might
be saved; for a pit might be dug in the ground and bury it. My lord,
said the surveyor, I pray you what will wee doe with the earth, which we
digge out of the pit? Why you whore-son coxcombe, said the lord, canst
thou not dig the pit deepe enough and bury all together?

Such an incident as the comedy of "The Poor Gentleman" having been
represented by _four_ persons, we should imagine not to be paralleled,
had we not before our eyes the advertisement of a farce in no better a
situation. What such exhibitions are, they only who have witnessed them
are able to inform us. The bill is certainly a curiosity, and as you pay
particular attention to the theatricals, I am induced to present you
with it, for the entertainment of your readers.
