Σελίδα 13 - Yet must I not give Nature all ; thy art, My gentle Shakespeare, must enjoy a part. For though the poet's matter nature be, His art doth give the fashion ; and, that he Who casts to write a living line, must sweat (Such as thine are) and strike the second heat Upon the Muses...
Σελίδα 14 - Through all the compass of the notes it ran, The diapason closing full in Man. What passion cannot Music raise and quell?
