H. CRITICISM, Tie JrTjfsisrtoar Father ; a Tragedy hi five cc! r, by William B. Maxwell* CONCLUDED. THERE are very few instances in the ‘* Mysterious Father,” where sentiment ’S not introduced with propriety. Yet in these inflan tVs is there lo great a violation of nature and eoagruity, that we deem it our duty to an nr. ;d ----•ver; upon them. 1 1 AS I. Scene Iff, the con ■eerfation between Chrentia and Oriino, begins with a pleasing pathba, end is carried on with spirit, until when exprelTng brr despair that (he must part with him (otv-er, and aSualiy having taken leave of him—-inltead of enprelfing aitoe tthrr.e- t at her conduS, and agony at her loss, he bums forth into admiration at her beauty ; I and admiration we conceive to be a very high degree of pleasure : “ Ors. (solus) Natuie, exhauftlefs architect! front thee,. ‘ln native loveliness array’d, she came ; Mere beautious far than Cypria’s fame ! queen ; Or what the love-f ck poet s fancy chaws Os her whom he adores ! Such sentiments never have, nor never will en ter into the mindof any men, who has just 101 l per haps forever the deareit objeft of his wishes. We will mention two more i-illances of incon gruity af behavior—and we believe these are all that can be laid to the author’s charge. When C’arentn is made acquainted with the Monk's intention of bearing her to forae secluded foot, and there to accomplilh his designs upon her virtue—this 1.-tdy inflead cf appealing to threats, prayer and intreaties, (which, though experience may have taught her to be unavailing, hops would have led her to attempt,) calmly utters a moral refleftitm ! See Aft 3d. Scene lit. When Veroni difeovers his wife fafe, and her virtue pure, and uhfullied, he sianifefts no sign of toy in h*r pretence- When'the being whom he thought 4u*i difhuaored is reftortd to his (arms, the ir.fl.mg Left of (ridden joy and uulooked l | for fntisfaction, would have overwhelmed arid I btir.. and all cold ass eftions—all memory of his has ty jcauvjfy. Such confiderationa would only enter ms mind when theprefent pleaiur- was in lotne degree allayed, and rime was given for a rnoiv calm difpoAion of mind—What he utters, * too, on the detection of Antonio’s guilt, we are lurry to iay cannot be dignified with the name lot Passion. It u conflrained and turgid; hos | cue to that Hate of the i al when the'violent con- I junction of oppiefiive feelings have no rooiA fur ; them. j And these are all the in fiances we can fcltft of violence done to Truth and Nature, in the • sentiments that occur in “ The MyilcriiT’ Fa ti’. We believe them rather to be owing to j ! neg’eft, than to want of fenftbility in the concep tion and exnreSEn cf paffon. But, d.d the size of our work permit tm, we could with pleasure point out many a pas sage, that comes warm and glowing from the mint of feeling. We have already mentioned j Pirozzi as an of the author's taste and (judgment. To depiftnre }.. eatnefs in a lower ;ip here of aftion, and give it with strength and proper coloring, is a talk not a Iff tic difficult the coin!nil of the difguiled Pirozzi, when in sulted in his cottage, is an earnest of Mr. Max wells talents, on which we place more reliance, than on all the rest of Iris play. He is accufvd of cajoling tbs noble Son of Veroni :o wed his daughter who is termed 4 wanton’ ai.d 4 artful’— the tnu its Aligns are jnv nted lo him and to her, l y his fr-erd !—• when lie can no ioe. g: r reilratn himfelf but fpeahs firmly and mode rately : j 4 Fir. Nature, thou hast entwin’d around the heart A chord, which binds it indiffolr.bly T'o those who owe to us their being ! My child, retire. [Learls her cf. And now, my lord, this Instant leave my rciof ! Else will tftis rugged arm be forced to teach thee, .That manly virtue, though its llate be lowly, Dddab.s submission to fallacious pride ; And that, in Ihielding from detraftion's blast The tender bud of his heart’s bell affeftion, A parent vaiial at defiance lets The beaded power of a wretch above him.* We would copy the whole ft cue, did not 1 ’ propriety forbid it. Yet do we ean.eftiy recoin-! mend to the reader of taste and feeling, lo po- ! rule and re.peruft* the entire fu ll feene 01 the !fourth Aft, and if be does not then ddcover as ‘more than afual difeernment in the mar.fgentent j Jot the paffw.’.o, we will gfta up our judgment as I well as our feelings, to the difpofa! of Fancy ! There is, also, a great of pathos and tender sentiment in th? commenrerr-- t of the fifth art. The pafTions of the ft? Iter kind are moll happily’ erprefled ? and the time, Night, rods a moie folenm hue to the circumllances. i Crs. I Tow flill i t ail around—no ebjeft ! moves. \ j C: L -ce and fffitude fake the'..- turn to rc'gn, lAi and night - 1 dark rrrintl'. overi m tads the world. With wine inflated, irons the midnight feait JLisenclous rev’ler--, with uncertain ilep, Depart, to deep intoxication off.y T’br prowling robber now with camion (hlka To do, beneath the darkness of the night, Deeds darker Hill ; and here [A 7 r roan is heard. Ye, righteous heavens ! Does my fcaic deceive me ? I heard a groan !—ha 1 perhaps a mother’s groan !’ Indeed, Mr. Maxwell has the ingredients cf a poet wit!.ln him. He polfeiles that quality 01 the imagination, which gives each thought a Mlvelincis and llrvmrnh. The turn or his fenti- C meats am generally spirited and happy. And there in that abruptrefs avoided v..: 11 whirl many of our drarnatifts fit ip from thought to thought. His moral rr-ilcctior.s in themselves are clothed in aplesfing animated dress. The e is a novel, and excellent oi-p, which fliould gov en the minds and re It rain the pens ol molt oi our profufe Eulogilts : ‘ Why praifeft thou ‘lie dead ? While here exiiling human pride may feed, And fweJi on flattery or deceitful praise ; But when the land through life's small ghfs has run, Why would(l thoa proffer food to pride extinct, n\nd feniclefs of the boon — 1 But their frequent occurrence is a fault ; for independent of the interruption they give the hufinefs of the paifion, they also render the il la logue too ih'ff and cor,drained. The frequent calling on the Gods, is an over fight we wonder the author could be guilty o£. The Italians of the darker ages had no more connection with the heathen gods, in interjeftion, than they had in religion. Although the learning of Mr. Maxwell may Hand unimpeached, yet his neg lect in this refpeft is certainly inexcusable, though eaffly corrected. Os ihe verse, our opinion is perfectly copfo nant to a literary feiend'B, who being interro gated on that fubjeft, delivered himfelf thus : “ The verse of Mr. Maxwell poffeffea a charac ter of case, with the fofteft harmony. The ear is sweetly imprefled at the end of -very line by the founds of n melodious and diveuified cadence. A few prosaic linen are interiperfed here and there, like specks of duffs silver among tue put. ! er metal ; but this is excusable, nay, pleasing, 1 when the natural order of words, is ft) arranged ns to produce but few of them ; and those few so eloquent. The inverftons employed afford a pleasing variety and arc mellowed from that’ harihnefs, with which in moil miter# they are ! i * ; j'N : " r ’ f accoTipanied, TA;e is fometiir.es a v libli barrennels of those confccrated terms, those 44 words that burn’, 44 which often awakens lancy to form the live licit images. But this felicity belongs to poets of the fir ft order of im agination. The frequent exercise of that fa culty, will in time make Mr. Maxwell a matter effthem. A praftice that abounds among dra matiff . of concluding each aft with rhyme, pro duces a wrong effect in tragedy, as the emotion railed by rhyme is dissonant to the solemnity of this tpecies of conpofition. Such, impartially, is the play, which Mr. Pla cid.', the theatrical carver for the public talle in Charltrfton, has nu/ cf, for the fluff of Dibdin, 1 Cherry, and O 4 Keefe—We are to be amused j with harliquinades, Elephants, and Cindereilas, wbjle the foft and sentimental efforts of Maxwell arc hindered from their proper sphere of exhibi tion.
