 Reader, look / Not on his picture, but his book.

 She is Venus when she smiles; / But she's Juno when she walks, / And Minerva when she talks.

 Slow, slow, fresh fount, keep time with my salt tears; / Yet slower yet, O faintly, gentle springs.

 Soul of the Age! / The applause! delight! the wonder of our stage! / My Shakespeare, rise; I will not lodge thee by / Chaucer, or Spenser, or bid Beaumont lie / A little further, to make thee a room; / Thou art a monument without a tomb.

 Still to be neat, still to be drest, / As you were going to a feast.
