DRAMATIC RECREATIONS.

(From the Percy Anecdotes.)

The Princes of the House of Brunswick have generally been partial to theatrical entertainments. George II. frequently visited the theatres, notwithstanding his imperfect knowledge of the English language prevented his enjoying the beauties of the drama as much as he must otherwise have done. This monarch was at Drurylane theatre, when the Culloden despatches were pre

his father, and was very fond of instructing his children Prince Frederic of Wales possessed a similar tate to at a very early age to repeat moral speeches out of plays; and with this view, he desired Mrs. Devenish, whose edition of Rowe's works printed, which that lady acfirst husband was Mr. Rowe the poet, to have a correst cation written by Mr. Newton, afterwards Bishop of cordingly did. The press was corrected, and the dedi

While his family were still very young, the prince had plays at Leicester House, in which the children of his Royal Highness sustained the principal characters.

These were under the direction of the celebrated Quin;

the boy to speak.”

On the 4th of January, 1749, the children of his Royal Highness, with the aid of some of the juvenile branches of the nobility, performed the tragedy of Caso before their royal parents, and a numerous audiense of distinguished personages. dramatis persona on this interesting occasion: The following were the Portius................ ..Prince George Juba....... .......Prince Edward Cato Sempronius...

Previous to the rising of the curtain, Prince George, then eleven years of age, came forward, and delivered in a most graceful and impressive manner the following Prologue:

:

To speak with freedom, dignity, and ease,
To learn those arts which may hereafter please,
Wise authors say, let youth, in earliest age,
Rehearse the poet's labours on the stage.
Nay, more! a nobler end is still behind,
The poet's labours elevate the mind;
Teach our young hearts with gen'rous fire to bura,
And feel the virtuous sentiments we learn,"

T'attain these glorious ends what play so fit,
As that where all the powers of human wit
Combine to dignify great Cato's name,
To deck his tomb, and consecrate his fame?
Where Liberty, O name for ever dear!
Breathes forth in every line, and bids us fear
Nor pains, nor death, to guard our sacred laws,
But bravely perish in our country's cause.
Patriots indeed! Nor why that honest name,
'Through every time and station still the same,
Should this superior to my years be thought,
Know, 'tis the first great lesson I was taught.
What, though a boy! it may with pride be said,
A boy in England born, in England bred;
Where freedom well becomes the earliest state,
For there the love of liberty's innate.

Yet more; before my eyes those heroes stand,
Whom the great William brought to bless this land,
To guard, with pious care, that gen'rous plan
Of power well bounded, which he first began.
But while my great forefathers fire my mind,
The friends, the joy, the glory of mankind,
Can I forget that here is one more dear?
But he is present, and I must forbear.

After the tragedy had been performed in a manner highly creditable to the royal and other juvenile amateurs, and much to the honour of those who had conducted their education, the Princess Augusta, afterwards Duchess of Brunswick, and mother of her present Ma

jesty, and Prince Edward, afterwards Duke of York, delivered an epilogue, of which the following is a copy:

PRINCESS AUGUSTA.

The prologue's filled with such fine phrases,
George will alone have all the praises;
Unless we can (to get in vogue)

Contrive to speak an epilogue.

PRINCE EDWARD.

George has, 'tis true, vouchsaf'd to mention
His future gracious intention

In such heroic strains, that no man

Will e'er deny his soul is Reman.
But what have you or I to say to
The pompous sentiments of Cato?
George is to have imperial sway;
Our task is only to obey;

And trust me I'll not thwart his will,
But be his faithful Juba still;
Though, sister, now the play is over,
I wish you'd get a better lover.

PRINCESS AUGUSTA.

Why, not to underrate your merit,
Others would court with different spirit,
And I perhaps might like another
A little better than a brother.
Could I have one of England's breeding,
But 'tis a point they're all agreed in,
That I must wed a foreigner,
And cross the seas, the Lord knows where,
Yet, let me go where'er I will,
England shall have my wishes still.

PRINCE EDWARD.

In England born, my inclination,
Like your's, is wedded to the nation;
And future times I hope will see
Me general, in reality.
Indeed, I wish to serve this land,
It is my father's strict command;
And none he ever gave will be
More cheerfully obeyed by me,
