• In the first seat, in robe of various dyes,
  A noble wildness flashing from his eyes,
  Sat Shakespeare: in one hand a wand he bore,
  For mighty wonders fam'd in days of yore:
  The other held a globe, which to his will
  Obedient turn'd, and own'd the master's skill:
  Things of the noblest kind his genius drew,
  And look'd through nature at a single view:
  A loose he gave to his unbounded soul,
  And taught new lands to rise, new seas to roll;
  Call'd into being scenes unknown before,
  And passing nature's bounds, was something more.
