st put,
3 It was for gentle Shake
speare cut;
4Wherein the Grauer had a
strife
5 with Nature, to out-doo the life :
6O, could he but haue drawne his wit
7 As well in bra
sse, as he hath hit
8His face ; the Print would then
surpa
sse
9 All, that
vvas euer
vvrit in bra
sse.
10But,

11 Not on his Pi
cture, but his Booke.
