FAB. CLXXVI.

A _Musician_.

A Man that had a very Course Voice, but an Excellent _Musique-Room_,

would be still Practising in that Chamber, for the Advantage of the

_Eccho_. He took such a Conceit upon’t, that he must needs be shewing his

Parts upon a Publick Theatre, where he Perform’d so very Ill, that the

Auditory Hiss’d him off the Stage, and threw Stones at him.

The MORAL.

_A Man may Like himself very Well in his Own Glass, and yet the World not

Fall in Love with him in Publick. But the Truth on’t is, We are Partial

in our own Case, and there’s no Reading of Our Selves but with Other Mens

Eyes._
