Página 28 - His mind and hand went together ; and what he thought, he uttered with that easiness, that we have scarce received from him a blot in his papers.
Página 30 - TO THE MEMORY OF THE DECEASED AUTHOR, MASTER WILLIAM SHAKSPERE. Shakspere, at length thy pious fellows give The world thy works ; thy works, by which outlive Thy tomb, thy name must ; when that stone is rent, And time dissolves thy Stratford monument, Here we alive shall view thee still...
