Book Description

Excerpt from Original Plays: Containing the Wicked World, Pygmalion and Galatea, Charity, the Palace of Truth, the Princess, Trial by Jury, Iolanthe Phyl. In truth, dear sister, if man's face and form Were a true index to his character, He were a hideous thing to look upon; But man, alas! Is formed as we are formed. False from the first, he comes into the world Bearing a smiling lie upon his face, That he may cheat ere he can use his tongue.
