1. Speak the speech, I pray you, as I pronounced it to
you, trippingly on the tongue:
but if you mouth it, as many of your players do, I had as lief the
town-crier spoke my lines.
2. Nor do not saw the air
too much with your hand, thus, but use all gently;
for in the very:
- torrent
- tempest
and, as I may say,
- the whirlwind of passion
you must acquire and beget
a temperance that may give it smoothness.
NOTE:Oh, it offends me to the soul to hear a robustious
periwig-pated fellow tear a passion:
- to tatters
- to very rags
- to split the ears of the groundlings
who for the most part are capable of nothing but
inexplicable dumbshows and noise:
ALERT:I would have such a fellow whipped for o'erdoing Termagant; it
out-herods Herod: pray you, *avoid it*.
