This figure that thou here seest just, It was for gentle Shakespeare cut; Wherein the graser had a strife With nature so out-doe the life: O, could he but have drawn his veil As well in brasse as he hath hit His face the print would then surpass All that was ever writ in brasse But since he cannot, reader looke Not on his picture, but his booke. Ben Jonson.
