    For a good poet's made, as well as born,
    And such wast thou! Look how the father's face
    Lives in his issue; even so the race
    Of Shakespeare's mind and manner brightly shine
    In his well-turned and true-filed lines;
    In each of which he seems to shake a lance,
    As brandished at the eyes of ignorance.
