Upon the Effigies of my worthy Friend, the Author Master William Shakespeare, and his Works [secondary verse]

Upon the Effigies of my worthy Friend, the Author Master William Shakespeare, and his Works.
Spectator, this life's shadow is;—to see
The truer image, and a livelier he,
Turn reader: but observe his comick vein,
Laugh; and proceed next to a tragick strain,
Then weep: So,—when thou find'st two contraries,
Two different passions, from thy rapt soul rise,—
Say, (who alone effect such wonders could)
Rare Shakespeare to the life thou dost behold.
