Cymbeline: King of Britain. A tragedy, written by Shakespear. With some alterations, by Charles Marsh. As it was agreed to be acted at the Theatre-Royal in Covent-Garden. The Part of Posthumus to have been performed by Mr. Barry, and the Character of Imogen, by Mrs. Gibber. Beloved Shakespear! may thy Shade forgive That I, presuming, mix my Scenes with thine, In the fond Thought they may together live: Alloy incorp'rates with the finest Coin. How vast are thy creative Powers! thy Flight How boundless! Thro' the Earth, thro's Seas and Sky At pleasure ranging, neither Depth nor Height Scape the Researches of thy mental Eye. Forgive me, for 'tis surely all the meed I e'er shall ask. Oblivion throw thy Veil O'er those false hopes that flattered once indeed; Or, let Capricious Cibber tell the Tale.
printed for Charles Marsh, at Cicero's Head, at Charing Cross
