The applause! delight! the wonder of our stage!”
“To the memory of my beloved, the Author, Mr. William Shakespeare: and what he has left us;”—such the dedication when Jonson declared,—
“Thou art a Moniment without a tombe.
. . . . . .
And art aliue still, while thy Booke doth liue
And we haue wits to read, and praise to giue.”
Giovio, ed. 1556.
