 Actor Thomas Davies, in a letter to Garrick, wrote that he blundered in the part of Cymbeline owing "to my accidentally seeing Mr. Churchill in the pit, it rendering me confused and unmindful of my business".Churchill's satire made him many enemies, and brought reprisals.In "Night, an Epistle to Robert Lloyd" (also published this year), be answered the attacks made on him, offering by way of defence the argument that any faults were better than hypocrisy.
