Rh well oberv'd in this Play. The Englih Writer has corrected the only Defect that is in Moliere's Comedy, the Thinnes of the Plot, which alo is o dipos'd that the Characters in it do not enough raie our Concern. The Englih Comedy affects us, and the Contrivance of the Plot is very ingenious, but at the ame Time 'tis too bold for the French Manners. The Fable is this. A Captain of a Man of War, who is very brave, open-hearted, and enflam'd with a Spirit of Contempt for all Mankind, has a prudent, incere Friend whom he yet is upicious of, and a Mitres that loves him with the utmot Exces of Paion. The Captain o far from returning her Love, will not even condecend to look upon her; but confides intirely in a fale Friend, who is the mot worthles Wretch living. At the ame Time he has given his Heart to a Creature who is the greatet Coquet, and the mot perfidious of her Sex, and is o credulous as to be confident he is a Penelope, and his fale Friend a Cato.
