Nanine

This Comedy is called in the French Nanine, ou le Préjugé Vaincu (Nanine, or Prejudice Overcome). It is written, as we are told in the title-page, in verses of ten syllables. The absurdity of comedies in rhyme I have already remarked. The original begins thus:
Il faut parler, il faut, Monsieur le Comte,
Vous expliquer nettement sur mon Compte.
