If they happen to have faults or foibles, the spectator is taught not only to pardon, but to applaud them in consideration of the goodness of their hearts ; so that folly, instead of being ridiculed, is commended, and the comedy aims at touching our passions, without the power of being truly pathetic.
109. oldal - ... mercies, O my God, My rising soul surveys, Transported with the view, I'm lost In wonder, love and praise.
