[64] Quite distinct from this revision was the practice against which
the law of Lycurgus was directed, of "cobbling and heeling" the
dramas of the great masters by alterations of a kind familiar enough
to the students of Shakespeare as improved by Colley Cibber and other

_contamination_ by Latin writers.

purpose resembling that of Old Attic Comedy.
