And though I have sometimes endeavoured to convince actors that they are mistaken in this notion they have adopted, and that they would attract more people, and get more credit, by producing plays in accordance with the rules of art, than by absurd ones, they are so thoroughly wedded to their own opinion that no argument or evidence can wean them from it.
Y, aunque algunas veces he procurado persuadir a los actores que se engañan en tener la opinión que tienen, y que más gente atraerán y más fama cobrarán representando comedias que hagan el arte que no con las disparatadas, y están tan asidos y encorporados en su parecer, que no hay razón ni evidencia que dél los saque.
