Sat Shakespeare.—In one hand a wand he bore,

For mighty wonders fam’d in days of yore;

The other held a globe, which to his will

Obedient turn’d, and own’d the master’s skill:

Things of the noblest kind his genius drew,

And look’d through Nature at a single view:

A loose he gave to his unbounded soul,

And taught new lands to rise, new seas to roll;

Call’d into being scenes unknown before,

And, passing Nature’s bounds, was something more.
