< Previous  CID245   Next >

To represent a Man enraged, let him be seen tearing some one by the Hair, forcing one of his Knees against his side, and wresting his Head towards the Ground; appearing at the same time ready to strike him with his right Arm, heav'd up, and his Fist clench'd; Further, he must grind his Teeth, his Hair must stand on end, his Eye-brows drawn down, and gathered close together, the sides of his Mouth bent into an Arch, the Neck swell'd, and full of Wrinkles, on the side that reclines over his Enemy.
