Читать книгу A Chronicle History of the Life and Work of William Shakespeare - Fleay Frederick Gard - Страница 1

To him, whose craft, so subtly terse,

(While lesser minds, for music's sake,

From single thoughts whole cantos make),

Includes a poem in a verse; —

To him, whose penetrative art,

With spheric knowledge only his,

Dissects by keen analysis

The wiliest secrets of the heart; —

To him, who rounds us perfect wholes,

Where wisdom, wit, and love combine;

Chief praise be this: – he wrote no line

That could cause pain in childlike souls.
