Excerpt from The Tailors (or "Quadrupeds"): A Tragedy for Warm Weather, in Three Acts I'nrs night we add some heroes to our store, Who never were as heroes known before No blustering Romans, Trojans, Greeks, shall rage, No knights arm'd cap-d-pie shall crowd our stage Nor shall our Henrys, Edwards, take the field, Opposing sword to sword, and shield to shield; With different instruments our troop appears, Needles to thimbles shall, and shears to shears. With parchment gorgets, and in buckram armed, Cold-blooded Tailors are to heroes warmed, And slip-shod slide to war. No lion's glare, ' No eye-balls darting fire, shall make you stare Each outside shall belie the stuff within, A Roman spirit in a Tailor's skin. A cross-legged Cassius, Pompey, shall you see, And the ninth part of Brutus strut in me. What tho' no swords we draw, no daggers shake, Yet can our warriors a quietus make, With a bare bodkin. - Then be dumb, ye railers, And never, but in honour, call out Tailors! But are these heroes tragic, you will cry Oh! Very tragic - and I'll tell you why Should female artists with the male combine, And Mantua-makers to the Tailors join.
