"He's just the man I expected to see," observed Hogarth, who, having arranged
everything to Thornhill's satisfaction, had turned to look at the prisoner, and was
now with his chin upon his wrist, and his elbow supported by the other hand,
bending his keen gray eyes upon him, "just the man! Look at that light, lithe
figure,—all muscle and activity, with not an ounce of superfluous flesh upon it. A wide terrace then led to large iron gates,' over which were
placed the two celebrated figures of Raving and Melancholy Madness, executed
by the elder Cibber, and commemorated by Pope in the Dunciad, in the wellknown lines:—
"Close to those walls where Folly holds her throne,
And laughs to think Monroe would take her down,
Where, o'er the gates, by his famed father's hand,
Great Cibber's brazen, brainless brothers stand. You ought to have had
better advice two years ago.
