His Art doth give the fashion. And, that he,

Who casts to write a living line, must sweat

(Such as thine are), and strike the second heat

Upon the Muse’s anvil: turn the same

(And himself in it) that he thinks to frame;

Or for the laurel, he may gain a scorn,

For a good Poet’s made, as well as born.

And such wert thou. Look how the father’s face

Lives in his issue, even so, the race

Of Shakespeare’s mind and manners brightly shines
