without gold, or gums, or pyramids, superior to the common accidents of death and decay, unwithering and immortal. Much of this, as well as a great deal of the power and delicacy which distinguish the dramas of Shakespeare, is perceptible in his poems. The quaintness of their age is upon them; but that is a mere husk, insufficient to deter the real lovers of poetry from seeking to taste the rich kernel beneath. There is a quaintness even in the plays of Shakespeare, as well as in the poems; but we are accustomed to it, and mind it therefore the less. Let us try to accustom our ears to the Tarquin and Lucrece, and to the Sonnets. They are, the reader may be assured, of great value, a little old-fashioned, but still precious. We prize china which is old, and plate, and ornaments of many kinds. Even dress has its revolutions: why not poetry? Fashion in general is but a silly matter. It serves only to fill heads which would be empty without it. But if it can be reduced to use (as well as ornament,) and made to bring back to a new renown the dusty glories of former ages, we shall be among the first to turn idolaters, and to vote for some statue or picture to its honour. : END OF VOL.
