Original text[edit]
The text of the accompanying article reads:
Our artist has here portrayed an effective scene from Massinger's play of "The City Madam," lately revived, and performed, with some alterations, at Sadler's Wells Theatre. It is the scene in which Luke, frantic with his vast accession of wealth, revenges himself upon Lady Frugal, her daughters, and servant Milliscent, by turning them out of doors. The following is from the text of Massinger:—
Luke.I'll cut off
Whatever is exorbitant in you
Or in your daughters, and reduce you to
Your natural forms and habits; not in revenge
Of your base usage of me, but to fright
Others by your example: 'tis decreed
You shall serve one another, for I will
Allow no waiter to you. Out of doors
With these useless drones !* * * * * *Lady Frugal.I am sick, and meet with
A rough physician. O my pride and scorn !
How justly am I punish'd !Mary.Now we suffer
For our stubbornness and disobedience
To our good father.Luke.Get you in,
And ca'erwaul in a corner.Lady Frugal.There's no contending.
(They go off.)
We had occasion, when noticing the production of this play, to speak highly of the acting of Mr. Phelps and Mrs. Warner in the two principle characters. There was a fine contrast between the humility of Luke in the earlier scenes of the play and his terrible wrath upon his elevation. Equally marked was the performance of the lady in her two positions of arrogance and utter dependence. We may honestly recommend our readers to go and witness this representation.
