For the word Whoreson , I had it from Shakespeare and Iohnson , who have it very often in their 212 A34297 thing be worse ? and yet ( says he ) Shakespear 's Sir John , has some advantage in his Character 213 A34299 ; Heaven that but once was Prodigal before , To Shakespeare gave as much ; she could not give him more 214 A34423 studied Scripture half so much as Ben : Johnson or Shakespeare , he might have learnt , That when Amaziah was 215 A34823 .

For Mr. Rymer , who pretends that this last 234 A35669 Man who overlooked Mr. Waller 's Faults , might overlook Shakespear 's Excellency 's For it is much more easy to 235 A35669 Yes ; or else it would be barbarity to attack Shakespeare , who has not been dead so long . Freem 236 A35669 you , that contrary to Mr. Rymer 's assertion , Shakespeare was a great Genius . Beaum . I shall be 237 A35669 if I should do that ; for his Censures of Shakespeare in most of the particulars , are very sensible and 238 A35669 very just . But it does not follow , because Shakespeare has Faults , that therefore he has no Beauties , 239 A35671 And notwithstanding our irregularities , so is our Tragedy . Shakespeare had a Genius for it ; and we know , 240 A35671 Critic has found in the World , after his Blaspheming Shakespeare . Almost all the Faults which he has discovered are 241 A35671 there ; yet who will read Mr. Rymor not read Shakespeare ? For my own part I reverence Mr. Ryms Learning 242 A35671 , have reason to be afraid of him , but Shakespeare has not . There another part of Poetry in which 243 A35763 If he tells us that Iohnson writ by art , Shakespeare by nature ; that Beaumont had judgment , Fletcher wit 244 A35964 with Cuts : by Hen .

I shall begin with Shakespeare , whom notwithstanding the severity of Mr Rhimer , Shakespeare 250 A36512 Shakespeare , whom notwithstanding the severity of Mr Rhimer , Shakespeare preferred to all the rest of the English Dramatics. and 251 A36512 other , should be allowed the benefit of them . Shakespear 's Ophelia comes first under his Lash , Objection to 252 A36512 , and must needs be vitiated together . However , Shakespeare has drowned her at last , and Mr Collier is 253 A36592 Acted at the THEATRE-ROYAL ; AND Written in Imitation of Shakespeare 's Stile . Written by Mr. Dryden . Facile est 254 A36592 treated by the greatest Wits of our Nation , after Shakespeare ; and by all so variously , that their Example 255 A36592 Models are regular , they are too little e Divine Shakespeare ; which that I might perform more freely , I 256 A36597 Sir Godey Kneller , nd given to he Author . Shakespeare thy Gift , I place before my sight ; With 257 A36602 his pride a secret shame , Invades his breast at Shakespear 's sacred name : Awed when he hears his Godlike 258 A36610 which cozened us so long : we thought , because Shakespeare and Fletcher went no farther , that there the Pillars 259 A36610 , I introduced them not on the English Stage , Shakespeare used them frequently : and , though Jonson shows no 260 A36610 any such : Ben Iohnson , Beaumont , Fletcher , Shakespeare , are As well as you , to have a 261 A36610 Writers of the last Age ( in which I comprehend Shakespeare , Fletcher and Ionson ) is manifest . Any man 262 A36610 man who understands English , read diligently the works of Shakespeare and Fletcher ; and I dare undertake that he will 263 A36610 Pericles Prince of Tyre , nor the Historical Plays of Shakespeare . Besides many of the rest as the Winters Tale 264 A36610 what correctness , after this , can be expected from Shakespeare or from Fletcher , who wanted that Learning and Care 265 A36610 Tongue been Beautified by the three fore-mention 'd Poets , Shakespeare , Fletcher and Iohnson : whose Excellency 's I can 266 A36610 Age , was yet more incorrect than their language . Shakespeare , who many times has written better than any Poet 267 A36610 him , ) a less fault than the carelessness of Shakespeare . He does not well always , and , when 268 A36610 would be a fine Gentleman , in an University . Shakespeare showed the best of his skill in his Mercutio , 269 A36610 Let us therefore admire the beauties and the heights of Shakespeare , without falling after him into a carelessness and ( 270 A36622 ; and in what we may justly claim precedence of Shakespeare and Fletcher , namely in Heroic Plays : but this 271 A36622 with each other ; which is more than Fletcher or Shakespeare did : but I would have more of the Urbana 272 A36622 predecessors : particularly we may say of Fletcher and of Shakespeare , what was said of Ovid , In omni ejus 273 A36622 will come nearer to our own Countrymen . Most of Shakespear 's Plays , I mean the Stories of them , 274 A36624 an ultimate intention to pay Reverence to the Manes of Shakespeare , Fletcher , and Ben Johnson , that they commend 275 A36624 of course . Peace be to the Venerable Shades of Shakespeare , and Ben Johnson : None of the Living will 276 A36624 the Drama we have not arrived to the pitch of Shakespeare and Ben Johnson . But here , my Lord , 277 A36641 His Silence and Contempt of all they Writ . To Shakespear 's Critique , he bequeaths the Curse , To find 278 A36650 beg from you the value of their Wit . That Shakespear 's , Fletcher 's , and great Iohnson 's claim 279 A36650 , And each were guilty of some slighted Maid . Shakespear 's own Muse her Pericles first bore , The Prince 280 A36653 his Amphitrion , was the Original of all , and Shakespeare and Moliere have copied him with success . Nevertheless , 281 A36661 in their Tragedies to the excellent Scenes of Passion in Shakespeare , or in Fletcher : for Love-Scenes you will find 282 A36661 other side , if you consider the Historical Plays of Shakespeare , they are rather so many Chronicles of Kings , 283 A36661 not used extreme severity in his judgment upon the incomparable Shakespeare for the same fault . To conclude on this subject 284 A36661 English one , like those of Fletcher , or of Shakespeare . If they content themselves as Cornille did , with 285 A36661 and greatness of characters which are derived to us from Shakespeare and Fletcher : the copiousness and well-knitting of the intrigues 286 A36661 Plays : ( not to name our old Comedies before Shakespeare , which were all writ in verse of six feet 287 A36661 as the French now use ) I can show in Shakespeare , many Scenes of rhyme together , and the like 288 A36661 secondly , that in most of the irregular Plays of Shakespeare or Fletcher ( for Ben . Iohnson 's are for 289 A36661 any of the French . I could produce even in Shakespeare 's and Fletcher 's Works , some Plays which are 290 A36661 the Scornful Lady : but because ( generally speaking ) Shakespeare , who writ first , did not perfectly observe the 291 A36661 , it will be first necessary to speak somewhat of Shakespeare and Fletcher , his Rivals in Poesy ; and one 292 A36661 equal , perhaps his superior . To begin then with Shakespeare ; he was the man who of all Moder , 293 A36661 but he would produce it much better treated of in Shakespeare ; and however others are now generally preferred before him 294 A36661 him the greater part of the Courtiers , set our Shakespeare far above him . Beaumont and Fletcher of whom I 295 A36661 am next to speak , had with the advantage of Shakespeare 's wit , which was their precedent , great natural 296 A36661 his Humour . Their Plots were generally more regular then Shakespeare 's , especially those which were made before Beaumont 's 297 A36661 of theirs being acted through the year for one of Shakespheare 's or Iohnsons : the reason is , because there 298 A36661 , which suits generally with all men 's humours . Shakespeares language is likewise a little obsolete , and Ben . 299 A36661 comply with ours . If I would compare him with Shakespeare , I must acknowledge him the more correct Poet , 300 A36661 I must acknowledge him the more correct Poet , but Shakespeare the greater wit . Shakespeare was the Homer , or 301 A36661 more correct Poet , but Shakespeare the greater wit . Shakespeare was the Homer , or Father of our Dramatic Poets 302 A36661 elaborate writing ; I admire him , but I love Shakespeare . To conclude of him , as he has given 303 A36661 this way ; perhaps our Ancestors knew no better till Shakespeare 's time . I will grant it was not altogether 304 A36661 are preposses 'd so much with those excellent Plays of Shakespeare , Fletcher , and Ben . Iohnson , ( which 305 A36661 in Rhyme , as Ben . Iohnson Fletcher , and Shakespeare , had writ out of it . But it is 306 A36695 though of other men 's fancies : and thus are Shakespeare 's Tempest , his Midsummer nights Dream , and Ben 307 A36704 the same veneration by the Athenians of after Ages as Shakespeare is by us ; and Longinus has judged , in 308 A36704 difficulties of altering are greater , and our reverence for Shakespeare much more just , then that of the Grecians for 309 A36704 that the tongue in general is so much refined since Shakespear 's time , that many of his words , and 310 A36704 not so much as the name once Cressida mentioned . Shakespeare , ( as I hinted ) in the Aprenticeship of 311 A36704 I ascribe to the Actors , who printed it after Shakespear 's death ; and that too , so carelessly , 312 A36704 punished . Yet after all , because the Play was Shakespear 's , and that there appeared in some places of 313 A36704 an honour , by supposing I could imitate the incomparable Shakespeare : but let me add , that if Shakespears Scene 314 A36704 incomparable Shakespeare : but let me add , that if Shakespears Scene , or that faulty Copy of it in Amintor 315 A36704 last turn of it is borrowed . The occasion which Shakespeare , Euripides , and Fletcher , have all taken , 316 A36704 renewing of their Friendship . But the particular groundwork which Shakespeare has taken , is incomparably the best : Because he 317 A36704 changed wholly by me ; the middle of it is Shakespeare altered , and mingled with my own , three or 318 A36704 how far we ought to imitate our own Poets , Shakespeare and Fletcher in their Tragedies : And this will occasion 319 A36704 but one single action of theirs . This condemns all Shakespears Historical Plays , which are rather Chronicles represented , than 320 A36704 the first question , how far we ought to imitate Shakespeare and Fletcher in their Plots ; namely that we ought 321 A36704 not in the foundation of the design . How defcctive Shakespeare and Fletcher have been in all their Plots , Mr. 322 A36704 must be something in the cause . The difference between Shakespeare and Fletcher in their Plotting seems to be this , 323 A36704 Fletcher in their Plotting seems to be this , that Shakespeare generally moves more terror , and Fletcher more compassion : 324 A36704 , and Action , they are both deficient ; but Shakespeare most . Ben . Johnson reformed those errors in his 325 A36704 reformed those errors in his Comedies , yet one of Shakespear 's was Regular before him : which is , The 326 A36704 was . It is one of the excellency 's of Shakespeare , that the manners of his persons are generally apparent 327 A36704 passage , from Versailles into the Seraglio . But our Shakespeare , having ascribed to Henry the Fourth the character of 328 A36704 artifice of the Poet . To return once more to Shakespeare ; no man ever drew so many characters , or 329 A36704 so from those of an Incubus and a Sorceress , Shakespeare has produced his Monster . Whether or no his Generation 330 A36704 of Fletcher are poor & narrow , in comparison of Shakespears ; I remember not one which is not borrowed from 331 A36704 King and no King : So that in this part Shakespeare is generally worth our Imitation ; and to imitate Fletcher 332 A36704 he had the leisure to invent a Simile . If Shakespeare be allowed , as I think be must , to 333 A36704 figuratively but that I may do it with respect to Shakespeare , it shall not be taken from any thing of 334 A36704 and to st their Judges by the noise . But Shakespeare does not often thus ; for the passions in his 335 A36704 a sound of words , instead of sense . If Shakespeare were stripped of all the Bombast in the passions , 336 A36704 dwarf within our Giants clothes . Therefore , let not Shakespeare suffer for our sakes ; it is our fault , 337 A36704 more manly passions ; Fletcher 's in the softer : Shakespeare writ better betwixt man and man ; Fletcher , betwixt 338 A36704 one described friendship better ; the other love : yet Shakespeare taught Fletcher to write love ; and Juliet , and 339 A36704 : good nature makes Friendship ; but effeminacy Love . Shakespeare had an Universal mind , which comprehended all Characters and 340 A36704 . To conclude all ; he was a Limb of Shakespeare . I had intended to have proceeded to the last 341 A36704 Prologue Spoken by Mr. Betterton , Representing the Ghost of Shakespeare . SEE , my loved Britons , see your Shakespeare 342 A36704 Shakespeare . SEE , my loved Britons , see your Shakespeare rise , An awful ghost confessed to human eyes ! 343 A36717 Cur Ego , si nequeo , ignoroque Poeta salutor .

This is but Shakespeare , and Ben Iohnson brought again upon the Stage : 350 A36910 , but his Gondibert , and the much more Excellent Shakespeare would not have been less admired , if an abundance 351 A36959 his own accustomed civility , he falls upon the Renowned Shakespeare , and says , Collier , p. 50. he is 352 A36959 : there he clenches the Nail , there he gives Shakespeare a bold stroke , there obstinacy and malice appear in 353 A36959 ; for in another place you 'll find this same Shakespeare , that was before too guilty to make an Evidence 354 A36959 make it yet more German to the matter , as Shakespeare has it , to call them Colliers would be as 355 A36959 Ananias and Rabbi Buisy ; Fletcher , Hypocritical Roger , Shakespeare , Sir John of Wrotham ; Congreve , Say-grace ; 356 A36963 , And Pictures deck the Structure round ; Ben , Shakespeare , and the learned Rout , With Noses some , 357 A36979 altered by Him Mr. Killigrew 's Works .

Or how would Iuvenal appear 359 A37095 , who so graced the stage , The thrice renowned Shakespeare , and the rare Ingenuous Fleteher .

Both by Mr. 362 A38586 Point , comforting himself up with Hall 's Meditations , Shakespeare , and Foxe 's Book of Martyrs , and giving 363 A39195 both their Muses whipped the Vice of time : Then Shakespeare next a Brothers part doth claim , Because their quick 364 A39343 Though Wit as precious every Scene doth hold , As Shakespeare 's Lease , or Johnson 's Massy Gold , Though 365 A39709 or Fletcher 's flame and spirit .

Valediction To 367 A39726 it is for us to commend others . Nay even Shakespeare , whom he thought to have found his greatest Friend 368 A40040 Sir John Falstaff knew the Prince on Gads-hill , in Shakespeer : nor can others be ignorant of them , who 369 A40062 , Excellency , and Corruption ; with some Reflections on Shakespeare and other Practitioners for the Stage .

Next , I shall attempt a Vindication of Shakespeare , where he more formerly attaques him . In the 389 A42746 use him with no more Respect , than he does Shakespeare or You : And in the latter , I hope 390 A42746 , h proposes to us for the Test , of Shakespear 's Faults , as a sufficient Answer to what he 391 A42746 consequence , that all his Pains were needless to bring Shakespeare into that Number , since his greatest Admirers eve confessed 392 A42746 the Drones . But , indeed , the Lovers of Shakespeare may well forgive the Author of Edgar , and this 393 A42746 relish the Noble Thoughts which the Ingenious have admired in Shakespeare ever since he Writ . It has been the Fate 394 A42746 , Da , or Boss , and mis-apply 'd to Shakespeare . And for his Poetry , from the Heroic Tragedy 395 A42746 granted a very incompetent Judge of such a Poet as Shakespeare is . Some of my Friends , whose Authority was 396 A42746 for he will have it , That the words of Shakespeare do not set off the Action , and then of 397 A42746 were all this true , I ca n't find that Shakespeare falls justl under his ate Worth , and by Consequence 398 A42746 not as great an Error in Manners , as any Shakespeare is guilty of in the worst of his Plays , 399 A42746 , and show the Muscles of their Passion , than Shakespears , Cassius , and Brutus ? Could any Pugg in 400 A42746 , have a ster Occasion for a Passionate Scene than Shakespears , Brutus , and Cassis : But I ask his 401 A42746 , our Hstoriographer , I mean , and the inimitable Shakespeare . First , Here is a Council of 15 of 402 A42746 dull Bulesque on Common Sense to this incomparable Scene of Shakespeare , whic is justly admired by all Men of Sense 403 A42746 it do not Pitox and Gallery-it , with any of Shakespears : et it may bear the Bell ( to borrow 404 A42746 Reflections , and then examine more particularly what relates to Shakespeare . P. 63. he expresses himself much against Rhyme in 405 A42746 n't see how he can make it out , if Shakespeare be so far from a Poet , as not to 406 A42746 hus qualified , no doubt his censure of the admirale Shakespeare , must be extraordinary , which erations examine . To 407 A42746 Mr. Rymer and all of his Opinion to parallel in Shakespeare , the Wounds , the Hatreds , the Battles , 408 A42746 his failures , in Conduct and Characters ; is not Shakespeare more ungenerously dealt with , whose Faults are made to 409 A42746 Pedants of the Age ; the xcellence I find in Shakespeare himself , commands a uster Veneration ; for in his 410 A42746 : But to give he World some Satisfaction , that Shakespeare as had as great a Veneration paid his Excellence y 411 A42746 show all the Poets of Antiquity , out done by Shakespeare , in all the Topics , an common places made 412 A42746 places made use of in Poetry . The Enemies of Shakespeare would by no means yield hi so much Excellence ; 413 A42746 Learned and Ingenious Assembly , unnimously gave the Preference to Shakespeare And the Greek and Roman Poets were adjudged l at 414 A42746 none but you excels . Shall we therefore still admire Shakespeare wi these Learned and Ingenious Gentlemen , or per him 415 A42746 Heroes of his Own Country , he would have set Shakespear 's Faults in their true Light , and distinguished betwixt 416 A42746 truly and justly refer a great many of these Faults Shakespeare is guilty of . For , He not having that 417 A42746 was in much esteem for a Comoedian , which made Shakespeare put several words , and expressions into his part ( 418 A42746 Accusation is , That it is not improbable , that Shakespeare was ignorant of the Rules of Aristotle 's Poetics ; 419 A42746 in the Wrong . But should we grant him that Shakespeare wanted Art ( though Ben Johnson denies it ) can 420 A42746 with great Vices , as well as the Writings of Shakespeare ; yet are they granted Heroes , and so must 421 A42746 when the Number of those exceed these , as in Shakespeare , all whose Faults have not been able to frustrate 422 A42746 I have laid it down , else we should do Shakespeare a great deal of Injustice . I suppose none will 423 A42746 to the purpose , is that Heat he expresses against Shakspears giving a Name to his Moor , though Cinthio did 424 A42746 If Virgil be allowed his Reason for doing that , Shakespeare is not to seek for one for what he has 425 A42746 them here , and permit me either wholly to justify Shakespeare , even here , or at least to put him 426 A42746 the brave Moor from them . But at worst , Shakespeare is on as good a bottom as Virgil , in 427 A42746 those that must pass for such , if this in Shakespeare is so , ) But because they relate not to 428 A42746 so exact , that I am apt to think , Shakespeare took the Copy from Virgil . Nor can it justly 429 A42746 they were believed , the same will hold good for Shakespeare , in this particular , I vindicate him in : 430 A42746 Mr. Rhymers Objections , yet ought not that to rob Shakespeare of his due Character of being a Poet , and 431 A42746 much greater Value . If it be a fault in Shakespeare , that it end not with such a sentence , 432 A42746 the Morals of Hamlet , Macheth , and most of Shakespear 's Plays , prove a lesson of mightier consequence than 433 A42746 &c . Besides the worst , and most irregular of Shakespear 's Plays , contains two or three such Fables , 434 A42746 for it would require a Volume near as ig as Shakespeare , to set them off according to their worth ; 435 A42746 time for a full Justification of the other parts of Shakespeare , attaqu 'd with less Reason and Justice . Mr. 436 A42746 I have said in the beginning of my Vindication of Shakespeare , must here be recollected on Jago 's behalf ; 437 A42746 that is his Wittycism ) than the Tragical Flights of Shakespeare . Mr. Rymer 's Friend Rapine tells us , that 438 A42746 particular in his proof . Then for the Expressions of Shakespeare , none but Mr. Rymer can find fault with them 439 A42746 and numerous . There is scarce a serious part of Shakespeare , but has all these qualities in the Expression . 440 A42746 sample of the Poetry , Thought , and Expression of Shakespeare . The first is in the Midsummer Nights Dream , 441 A42746 the highest contempt , if not a greater Punishment . Shakespears Numbers carry such an Harmonious Majesty , that what Rapine 442 A42746 the trifling , and false Objections of his enemies that Shakespeare had this very notion of this passion . For this 443 A42746 is time to turn my Thoughts from a defence of Shakespeare , to an excuse of my own Transgression , in 444 A42746 , could have given more Authority to my defence of Shakespeare ; yet would you never have consented to the manner 445 A42748 , to have been long ago observed by our admirable SHAKESPEARE , when he says , As when a well graced 446 A43564 Long have pursued the harsh and rugged Road , Where Shakespeare and Great Ben before me trod : Yet now , 447 A43744 rage , Is the peculiar Frenzy of this Age . Shackspear must down , and you must praise no more Soft 448 A43744 no more Soft Desdemona , nor the Jealous Moor : Shackspear whose fruitful Genius , happy Wit Was framed and finished 449 A44171 be tried , As when great Johnson , or brave Shakespeare died . Wits must unite , for Ignorance we see 450 A44749 Poets that have been these last two hundred years . Shakespears Plays . Touching the PRECEDENCE OF Sovereign Princes . COncerning 451 A45651 Has not Great Johnsons learning , often failed ? But Shakspear 's greater Genius , still prevailed . Have not some 452 A46420 and so it might with small addition be rendered , Shakespeare ; which in effect is the sense also of the 453 A46439 been better Praised than Studied here in England , wherein Shakespeare who Created the Stage among us , had rather Written 454 A46439 are as inborn to you , as they were to Shakespeare ; and for ought I know to Homer ; in 455 A46439 I am reading Iohnson 's Verses to the Memory of Shakespeare : An Insolent , Sparing , and Invidious Panegyric : 456 A46439 in both those kinds ; and I would instance in Shakespeare of the former , of your Lordship in the latter 457 A46458 Nomenclatura , Greek , Latin , and English . 29 Shakespeer 's Rape of Lucreece. 30 Shepheard 's Office of Constables 458 A46646 .

This Tragedy seems to be written in imitation of Shakspear 's old Play of Pericles Prince of Tyre : for 532 A49533 old Play of Pericles Prince of Tyre : for as Shakspear raises Gower , an old English Bard , for his 533 A49533 practice of the Poets of the last Age , as Shakspear , Heywood , &c. at which time they frequently introduced 534 A49533 our Age : The Fame declines Of ne'er enough praised Shakespeare if thy lines Come to be published : Beaum & 535 A49533 which having spoke of the Eminent Dramatic Poets , as Shakesprear , Johnson , Daniel , &c. it adds of Translators 536 A49533 p. 90 . Old Mother Wit , and Nature gave Shakespeare , and Fletcher , all they have ; In Spencer 537 A49533 not ) very much borrowed from the Second Part of Shakespear 's Henry the Sixth ; though Mr. Crown with a 538 A49533 1681 . Part of this Play likewise is borrowed from Shakespeare . For the Plot read the Chronicles of those Times 539 A49533 a Tragi-Comedy made up of two Plays written by Mr. Shakespeare , viz Measure for Measure , and Much Ado about 540 A49533 Language of the whole Play almost , be borrowed from Shakespeare : yet where the Language is rough or obsolete , 541 A49533 to give , instead of many , one Instance . Shakespear 's Duke of Vienna says thus Measure for Measure , 542 A49533 you to the abovementioned Plays , in the Account of Shakespeare . Love and Honour , a Tragi-Comedy which I have 543 A49533 Ancestors , the Works of those his Illustrious Predecessors , Shakespeare , Fletcher , and Johnson : I was resolved to 544 A49533 so disrespectively treated as he has used them . Mr. Shakespeare as first in Seniority I think ought to lead the 545 A49533 follows Postscript to Granada , page . 146 . : Shakespeare who many times has written better than any Poet in 546 A49533 , ere you despise the other . Speaking of Mr. Shakespear 's Plots , he says they were lame , Ibid. 547 A49533 Pericles Prince of Tyre , nor the Historical Plays of Shakespeare ; Besides many of the rest , as the Winters 548 A49533 Preface to Mock Astrologer . B. 4 . Most of Shakespear 's Plays , I mean the Stories of them , 549 A49533 . He Characterises Mr. Fletcher , who writ after Mr. Shakespeare Postscript , p. 144 . , As a Person that 550 A49533 Luxuriance of Fletcher a less fault than the Carelessness of Shakespeare . He does not well always , and when he 551 A49533 , who understands English , read diligently the Works of Shakespeare and Fletcher ; and I dare undertake that he will 552 A49533 ingenious Men , that know how he has dealt with Shakespeare , will count him ungrateful ; who by furbishing up 553 A49533 , he has published ; which if they exceed Mr. Shakespeare in Economy , and Contrivance , it is that Mr. 554 A49533 rather than his own Conduct , or Performances . Honest Shakespeare was not in those days acquainted with those great Wits 555 A49533 furnish out a Laureate for a Conquest of Granada . Shakespear 's Measure for Measure , however despised by Mr. Dryden 556 A49533 make one good Play . To conclude , if Mr. Shakespear 's Plots are more irregular than those of Mr. Dryden 557 A49533 Speech , and Flaws in Sense , as well as Shakespeare , Fletcher , and Johnson : but this would be 558 A49533 at the Theatre Royal ; and written in imitation of Shakespear 's stile , printed in quarto Land . 1678. and 559 A49533 Earl of Danby . That our Author has nearly imitated Shakespeare is evident by the following Instance . In the Comedy 560 A49533 L'Amant Indiscreet : not to mention little Hints borrowed from Shakespeare , Petronius Arbiter &c . The main Plot of this 561 A49533 have it , in prose mesure , so that Mr. Shakespeare notwithstanding our Author 's Allegation , was not the first 562 A49533 in quarto Land . 1676 . This Play is originally Shakespear 's ( being the first Play printed in the Folio 563 A49533 of Sunderland . This Play was likewise first written by Shakespeare , and revised by Mr. Dryden , to which he 564 A49533 is a Masterpiece , and whether it be copied from Shakespeare , Fletcher , or Euripides , or all of them 565 A49533 . The Plot of this Play was taken by Mr. Shakespeare from Chaucer 's Troilus and Cressida ; which was translated 566 A49533 . In this Play he is not content with robbing Shakespeare , but tops upon the Audience an old Epilogue to 567 A49533 or this Age , to the reserve of the Venerable Shakespeare , and the Learned and Judicious Johnson . It is 568 A49533 ( as I have observed ) to be copied from Shakespears 's Tempest . Prol. to the Tempest . The Storm 569 A49533 which vanished on the neighbring shore , Was taught by Shakespears Tempest first to roar , That Innocence and Beauty which 570 A49533 This Play was written by Mr. Fletcher , and Mr. Shakespeare . Valentinian , a Tragedy revived not long ago by 571 A49533 , a Comedy , written on the same foundation with Shakespear 's Taming of the Shrew ; or which we may 572 A49533 show , in imitation , as I suppose , of Shakespear 's practice in Pericles Prince of Tyre , where Gower 573 A49533 less beloved by the Famous Poets of his Time , Shakspear , Beaumont , and Fletcher : witness his Copy which 574 A49533 and Fletcher : witness his Copy which he writ on Shakspear , after his Death , See his Works at the 575 A49533 some mouldy Tale , Like Pericles A Play writ by Shakespeare . ; and stale As the Shrieve 's Crusts , 576 A49533 others , when he acted the Clown 's part in Shakespear 's Company of Comedians , as I have read in 577 A49533 MARLOE . An Author that was Contemporary with the Incomparable Shakespeare , and One who trod the Stage with Applause both 578 A49533 he is thus commended by an old Poet : Ingenious Shakespeare , Massinger , that knows The Strength of Plot , 579 A49533 have been writ in former Days ; As Johnson , Shakespeare , Beaumont , Fletcher writ ; Mine want their Learning 580 A49533 as well as his Contemporaries , and made use of Shakespeare , to the advantage of his Purse , at least 581 A49533 . A great part of this Play is borrowed from Shakespear 's Romeo and Juliet ; as the Character of Marius 582 A49533 Mr. Dryden says in his Postscript to Granada , That Shakespeare said himself , that he was forced to kill Mercurio 583 A49533 Poetry ; but because I believe it was this Play Shakespeare Hen . IV . Act 2. meant , when he 584 A49533 shall speak by and by , in the Account of Shakespeare . Thomas RAWLINS . A Gentleman that lived in the 585 A49533 He was not only beloved by those Great Men , Shakespeare , Fletcher , and Johnson ; but likewise writ with 586 A49533 the late Duke of Buckingham . The Play is originally Shakespear 's ; but so imperfectly printed , that it is 587 A49533 ; both printed 4o . Land . 1689 . William SHAKESPEARE . One of the most Eminent Poets of his Time 588 A49533 that like those Diamonds Dr. Fuller in his Account of Shakespeare . , which are found in Cornwall , Nature had 589 A49533 I must still aver , that when in competition with Shakespeare , I must apply to them what Justus Lipsius writ 590 A49533 and Unfortunate Lovers : which Book , though written since Shakespear 's Time , I am able to prove several of 591 A49533 Mr. Dryden says Preface Mock-Astrol . , That most of Shakespear 's Plots , he means the Story of them ; 592 A49533 Play is now in Esteem , though the Foundation were Shakespear 's , all People know . How it took at 593 A49533 Preface to Troilus and Cressida explain . No Man except Shakespeare , ever drew so many Characters , or generally distinguished 594 A49533 is not the only Character of this Nature that Mr. Shakespeare has written ; for Merlin , as he introduces him 595 A49533 Titus , says , That the Play was not originally Shakespear 's , but brought by a private Author to be 596 A49533 To day the Poet does not fear your Rage , Shakespeare by him revived now treads the Stage : Under his 597 A49533 not proudly scorn To own , that he but winnowed Shakespear 's Corn ; So far he was from robbing him 598 A49533 mistakes , was doubtless first borrowed ( not only by Shakespeare , but all our succeeding Poets ) from Plautus , 599 A49533 Daisy in a field of Grass , Thus far Mr. Shakespeare . And showed like unmelt snow unto the sight : 600 A49533 , whom envious Death has placed Within this Monument , Shakespeare , with whom Quick Nature died , whose Name doth 601 A49533 read in Lucians Dialogues : But our Author has imitated Shakespeare , in the Comical part of his Midsummer Nights Dream 602 A49533 Shirley 's Shepherd Bottle , is but a Copy of Shakespear 's Bottom , the Weaver . I shall conclude this 603 A49533 , Marquess of Worcester . This Play is borrowed from Shakespear 's Coriolanus . Island Princess , a Tragi-comedy acted at 604 A49533 This Play in the Original , was writ by W. Shakespeare . Richard the Third , a History acted at the 605 A49533 , Esq . This Play owns its Birth likewise to Shakespeare . Besides these Plays , our Author has two Volumes 606 A49533 ; but it is ascribed by Kirkman to Mr. W. Shakespeare . B.

This Play is only the Second part of Shakespear 's Henry the Sixth , with little or no Variation 608 A49533 Play is said by Kirkman , to be writ by Shakespeare ; though finding no Name to it , I have 609 A49533 is said by former Catalogues to have been writ by Shakespeare ; and was , I presume , printed before this 610 A49533 are most of them taken out of the Plays of Shakespeare , Fletcher , Shirley , Marston , &c .

But Shakespear 's Anthony and Brutus ravish you , while my Lord 663 A49536 and Commons ; but this may be objected likewise to Shakespeare , who gives us a History , not a Play 664 A49536 1607 . It seems to be written in imitation of Shakespear 's Pericles , Prince of Tyre ; an ancient Play 665 A49536 , got it suppressed . See the Second Part of Shakespear 's Henry VI . from whence part of this is 666 A49536 good Applause . Part of it is likewise borrowed from Shakespeare . For the Plot see the English Chronicles writ in 667 A49536 the Crown near Carfax ; a House much frequented by Shakespeare in his frequent Journeys to Warwick-shire ; whither for the 668 A49536 Tragi-Comedy , fol. 1673 .

The Images and Language are so 890 A59493 and proper , that whilst we grant that none but Shakespeare could have formed such Conceptions , yet we are satisfied 891 A59493 most old Fare . Yet hopes , since in rich Shakespear 's soil it grew , It 'll relish yet with 892 A59493 Beauty in the Order they now bear , Even this Shakespear 's Praise ; each Rustic knows Amongst plenteous Flowers a 893 A59493 Hand that first laid this Design , That in great Shakespear 's Right , He 's bold to say If you 894 A59496 as little design of Satyr on present Transactions , as Shakespeare himself that wrote this story before this Age began . 895 A59496 Cato , Catullum Res est Ridicula , &c .
