The Lives of the Poets of Great Britain and Ireland (1753), volume 3, from Denham to Settle

According to Wikipedia: "Theophilus Cibber (26 November 1703 – October 1758) was an English actor, playwright, author, and son of the actor-manager Colley Cibber. He began acting at an early age, and followed his father into theatrical management. In 1727, Alexander Pope satirized Theophilus Cibber in his Dunciad as a youth who "thrusts his person full into your face" (III 132). On the stage, he was famous for playing Pistol in Henry IV, Part 2 and some of the comic roles his father had played when younger, but unsympathetic critics accused him of overemphasis.[1] His private life later led Theophilus into bad reputation and scandal. He died in a shipwreck while bound for Ireland and a season in Dublin."
