In all the light and spritely parts,
Especially the ghost.

And Tragedy should blush as much to stoop
To the low mimic follies of a farce,
As a grave matron would to dance with girls.

I’ve been offered a lot but I want to stay away from romance, comedies and fluffy work.

A little private spouting;
But sure as Lear or Hamlet lives,
Up comes our master, Bounce! and gives
The tragic Muse a routing.
