On Shakespear<\/i>. 1630.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Wh<\/span>at needs my Shakespear for his honour’d Bones,
\nThe labour of an age in piled Stones,
\nOr that his hallow’d reliques should be hid
\nUnder a Star-ypointing Pyramid<\/i>?
\nDear son of memory, great heir of Fame,
\nWhat need’st thou such weak witnes of thy name?
\nThou in our wonder and astonishment
\nHast built thy self a live-long Monument.
\nFor whilst to th’ shame of slow-endeavouring art,
\nThy easie numbers flow, and that each heart
\nHath from the leaves of thy unvalu’d Book
\nThose Delphick lines with deep impression took,
\nThen thou our fancy of it self bereaving,
\nDost make us Marble with too much conceaving;
\nAnd so Sepulcher’d in such pomp dost lie,
\nThat Kings for such a Tomb would wish to die.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t
