Thomas Mozeen

Mozeen was of French extraction, but born in England, his sponsor being Dr. Henry Sacheverell, was bred to the bar, which profession he forsook for the stage.

As Miss Edwards she was first heard at Drury Lane, when for the benefit of Mrs. Catherine Clive, whose pupil she was, she sang, 8 March 1743, the part of Sabrina in 'Comus.'

Chetwood asserts that Mozeen had a good person, a genteel education, judgment, voice and understanding, and was an actor of promise.

What parts were played in Dublin is unrecorded, but Victor, as manager for Sheridan, was fortunate enough to transfer to a musical society a portion of the engagement.

It was included in a volume published for the author 1762, wholly in verse, with the exception of the play, and, curiously enough, called 'A Collection of Miscellaneous Essays by T.

Owen Bray, a publican, with whom he lodged at Loughlinstown, Ireland, was associated with Mozeen (to whom the well-known recitation, 'Bucks have at ye all,' has also been assigned) in writing the famous song of 'Kilruddery.'
