The Triumph ever Spleen, Prejudice, and most complicated Villainy; occasion'd by Miss R EAD'S being recall'd to the Bath Stage by the generous Protection, and at the express Desire of the Nobility, &c. upon the 8 th of March , 1768; when she again appear'd in the Character of I NDIANA in the Conscious Lovers.

Thus to relieve a wounded Heart,
Which (tho' unconscious ) felt the Smart;
For who can bear, with steady Eye,
Such foul Report? a Hell-bred Lye!
Thus speaking Comfort to a Breast,
By Villains Malice sore opprest;
How great the Pleasure! — so refin'd!
The Public, with one Voice and Mind ,
Kindly protects an injur'd Fair,
And stamps her Conduct just and clear .
Henceforth be dumb — reform yourselves,
Ye Soul-gall'd Villains, Spleen-struck Elves .
