What neede my Shakespeare for his honour'd Bones
The Labour of an Age, in piled Stones? Or that his hallow'd Reliques should be hid Under a starr-y-pointing Pyramid? Deare Sonne of Memory, great Heire of Fame, What needst thou such dull Witnesse of thy Name? Thou in our Wonder and Astonishment Hast built thy selfe a live-long Monument: For whil'st to th' Shame of slow-endevouring Art Thy easie Numbers flow, and that each Heart Hath from the Leaves of thy unvalued Booke, Those Delphicke Lines, such deep Impression tooke: Then thou, our Fancy of her selfe bereaving, Dost make us Marble with too much conceiving: And, so sepulcher'd, in such Pompe dost lie, That Kings for such a Tombe would wish to die. J. Milton.
