For a good Poet's made, as well as born.
And fuch wert thou, Look how the Father's face
Lives in his Iue, even fo the race

Of Shakespear's mind and manners brightly fbines
In his well torned, and true filed lines:
In each of which he feems to shake a Lance,
As brandifh'd at the eyes of Ignorance.
Sweet Swan of Avon! what a fight it were
To fee thee in our water yet appear,

And make thofe flights upon the Banks of Thames,
That fo did take Eliza, and our James!
But flay, I fee thee in the Hemifphere

Advanc'd, and made a Constellation there!
Shine forth, thou Starre of Poets, and with rage,
Or influence, chide, or chear the drooping Stage,
Which, fince thy flight from hence, hath mourn'd like night,
And defpairs day, but for thy Volume's light.
