Scaramouch

1 I die with Fear—Met you not Scaramouch?

2 A celebrated Scaramouch, without uttering a syllable, kept the audience for a considerable time in a state of suspense by a scene of successive terrors; and exhibited a living picture of a panic-stricken man.

3 Presently the curtain is drawn up and discovers where Scaramouch has   'plac'd them all in the Hanging in which they make the Figures, where   they stand without Motion in Postures.'

4 Our Scaramouch is one of the numerous forms of the Captain, which obtained great popularity at Paris.

5 A gaudy Harlequin and his brother Scaramouch invite the attention of the passers-by.

6 Scaramouch was one of the stock characters of the old Italian comedy, which still exists as the harlequinade of the Christmas pantomime, and of which some traces survive in the Punch and Judy show.

7 Punch, Scaramouch, and Pierrot are next met by the Doctor, who invites them into a banquet.

8 Pasquariel comes gently behind him, and taps time on his shoulders—this throws Scaramouch into a panic.

9 In a farce of the audacious Mrs. Aphra Behn's, produced twenty years afterwards, Harlequin and Scaramouch were two of the characters.

10 They fight at Barriers, to the Tune.—Harlequin is often foil'd, but advances still; at last Scaramouch throws him, and is Conqueror; all give Judgment for him.

11 It will be remembered that Harlequin and Scaramouch are to be found in The Rover, Part II.

12 Scaramouch professes that the noise was made by putting up this piece of Tapestry, 'the best in Italy for the Rareness of the Figures, sir.'

13 This does not divert me; Nor nothing will, till Scaramouch return, And bring me News of Cinthio.

14 Run, run, Scaramouch, my Master's conjuring for you like mad below, he calls up all his little Devils with horrid Names, his Microscope, his Horoscope, his Telescope, and all his Scopes.

15 In course of time it was "made into a farce, with the Humors of Harlequin and Scaramouch," and represented through the whole kingdom, like similar compositions, with immense applause.

16 Your humble Servant, Sir, and Scaramouch returns you humble Thanks.

17 I am resolv'd to take the first good Offer, though but in revenge of Harlequin and Scaramouch, for putting Tricks upon me.

18 But I speak no Italian; only a few broken scraps, which I picked from Scaramouch and Harlequin at Paris.

19 Well, say no more, honest Scaramouch; thou shalt find a Friend at need of me—and if I do not fit you with a Spouse, say that a Woman has out-witted me.

20 Scaramouch, I have, for thy singular Wit and Honesty, always had a Tenderness for thee above that of a Master to a Servant.
