'Augustus still survives in Maro's strain
And Spenser's voice prolongs Eliza's reign
Great George's acts let tuneful Cibber sing
For nature formed the poet for the king'
Cibber's Apology (1740) is a mine of information about the theater of this period. He was, according to later sources, buried in a vault with his parents, and a school later built on the site. The school remains, and apparently the vault may still exist below it! However, the burial Ground at Grosvener Chapel in Mayfair (now the Mount St Gardens) also claims his remains.
