TheEnglish Pierrot enters like the tempest, and tumbles like a parcel; hislaugh resembles joyous thunder. He is short and fat; his face is flouredand streaked with paint; he has a great patch of red on each cheek; hismouth is enlarged by prolongation of the lips by means of two red bands, so that when he laughs his mouth appears to open from ear to ear. " The Pierrots--not only in France, but on the Continent generally--tookall the characteristics of the Zanys, Bertoldo, Paggliaccio, Gros, Giul...laume, Pedrolino, Gilles, Corviello, and Peppe Nappa, of the ItalianComedy, and all owing at least their original conception to the theatresof the Greeks, and the Romans.
