It may also deserve to be remark'd of _Falstaff_, that the _Figure_of his _Person_ is admirably suited to the _Turn_ of his _Mind_; sothat there arises before you a perpetual _Allusion_ from one to theother, which forms an incessant Series of _Wit_, whether they are in_Contrast_ or _Agreement_ together. --When he pretends to _Activity_, there is _Wit_ in the _Contrast_ between his _Mind_ and his _Person_, --And _Wit_ in their _Agreement_, when he triumphs in _Jollity_.
To compleat the whole, --...you have in this Character of _Falstaff_, not only a free Course of _Humour_, supported and embellish'd withadmirable _Wit_; but this _Humour_ is of a Species the most _jovial_and _gay_ in all Nature. --Sir _Jobn Falstaff_ possesses Generosity, Chearfulness, Alacrity, Invention, Frolic and Fancy superior to allother Men;--The _Figure_ of his _Person_ is the Picture of Jollity, Mirth, and Good-nature, and banishes at once all other Ideas from yourBreast; He is happy himself, and makes you happy. --If you examine himfurther, he has no Fierceness, Reserve, Malice or Peevishness lurkingin his Heart; His Intentions are all pointed at innocent Riot andMerriment; Nor has the Knight any inveterate Design, except against_Sack_, and that too he _loves_.
