Poet. Upon the heels of my presentment, sir.[1621]
Let's see your piece.[1621] 30
Pain. 'Tis a good piece.[1621][1623]
Poet. So 'tis: this comes off well and excellent.[1624]
Pain. Indifferent.
Poet. Admirable: how this grace[1625]
Speaks his own standing! what a mental power[1625]
This eye shoots forth! how big imagination 35
Moves in this lip! to the dumbness of the gesture
One might interpret.
Pain. It is a pretty mocking of the life.
Here is a touch; is't good?
Poet. I will say of it,[1626]
It tutors nature: artificial strife 40
Lives in these touches, livelier than life.[1627]
Enter certain Senators, and pass over.
Pain. How this lord is follow'd![1628]
Poet. The senators of Athens: happy man![1629]
