gracioso

I ſhall never ceaſe to wonder that the Engliſh, who are certainly a ſenſible and diſcerning people ſhould be ſo much infatuated, as to applaud and careſs with the moſt extravagant approbation, not to ſay adoration and regard, one or two gracioſo's, who, I will be bold to ſay, would ſcarce be able to earn their bread by their talents, on any other theatre under the ſun.
