A Musician
A Man that had a very Coarse Voice, but an Excellent Musick-Room,
would be still Practising in that Chamber, for the Advantage of
the Eccho. He took such a Conceit upon't, that he must needs be
shewing his Parts upon a Publick Theatre, where he Perform'd so
very Ill, that the Auditory Hiss'd him off the Stage, and threw
Stones at him.
A Man may Like himself very Well in his Own Glass, and yet the
World not Fall in Love with him in Publick. But the Truth on't
is, we are Partial in our own Case, and there's no Reading of
our Selves but with Other Mens Eyes.
