cene more nobly take,
Then when thy half-Sword parlying _Romans_ spake.
Till these, till any of thy Volumes rest
Shall with more fire, more feeling be exprest,
Be sure, our _Shake-speare_, thou canst neuer dye,
But crown'd with Lawrell, liue eternally.

L. DIGGES.

To the memorie of M. _W. Shake-speare_.

WEE wondred (_Shake-speare_) that thou went'st so soone
From the Worlds-Stage, to the Graues-Tyring-roome.
Wee thought thee dead, but this thy printed worth,
Tels thy Spectators, that thou went'st but forth
To enter with applause. An Actors Art,
Can dye, and liue, to acte a second part.
That's but an _Exit_ of Mortalitie;
This, a Re-entrance to a Plaudite.
