(JOHNSON).. Now, Sir, to talk of respect for a player! (smiling disdainfully.)

BOSWELL. There, Sir, you are always heretical, you never will allow merit to a player.

JOHNSON. Merit, Sir! what merit' Do you respect a rope-dancer, or a ballad singer'

BOSWELL. No, Sir, but we respect a great player, as a man who can conceive lofty sentiments, and can express them gracefully.

JOHNSON. What, Sir, a fellow who claps a hump on his back, and a lump on his leg, and cries "I am Richard the Third"' Nay, Sir, a ballad-singer is a higher man, for he does two things; he repeats and he sings: there is both recitation and musick in his performance: the player only recites.
