If love's a sweet passion
Pious Celinda goes to pray'rs
Cease, anxious world, your fruitless pain
Hark! how all things with one sound rejoice
If music be the food of love
Love, thou can'st hear, tho' thou art blind

An imaginary conversation between Samuel Johnson and Richard Savage by JOHN O'HARE with Anthony Jacobs as Richard Savage Timothy West as Samuel Johnson and ROSALIND SHANKS
FRANK SIEMAN , MICHAEL MCCLAIN
Samuel Johnson , as a young man newly come to London, worked as a hack on The Gentleman's Magazine. Here he got to know Richard Savage , dramatist, drunkard, profligate, and reputedly the unacknowledged bastard son of the Countess of Macclesfield. Johnson, the last man to tolerate a bore, found him witty and entertaining, and these two unusual men who often could not afford a lodging walked the streets all night.
Produced by DOROTHY BAKER
Second broadcast followed by an interlude at 7.50
