To the Memory of Master W. Shakespeare [secondary verse]
To the Memory of Master W. Shakespeare.
We wonder'd, Shakespeare, that thou went'st so soon
From the world's stage to the grave's tyring-room:
We thought thee dead; but this thy printed worth
Tells thy spectators, that thou went'st but forth
To enter with applause: An actor's art
Can die, and live to act a second part;
That's but an exit of mortality,
This a re-entrance to a plaudite.
J. M.
